Now LIVE! Limited Time Easter Event

Dear Ghoul Hunters,

Happy Easter! With 1.93 update, you can now participate in the Easter Egg Hunt event in Tunguska! This even will run from March 13 to April 27.

You can start searching for Easter eggs at any time and there's no need to start a new game. There are 20 varieties of Easter eggs in total, 10 of which can be found around the map among the grass, and the other 10 inside ravens that you can shoot down from the sky.

Bring the Easter eggs you found to Father Romanoff who lives underground at the gas station. He will pay you for each, and after brining all 20 varieties to him, he will give you a special reward!

Good luck, and have fun!

Update 1.93-1 Patch Notes

• Move one of the Easter eggs to another location so that player doesn't have to reach the end of the main quest to collect all the eggs

• Fixed a bug with the "Kraikretten key" possibly falling through ground when dropped

Update 1.93-3 Patch Notes

• Added the 5120x2160 resolution support

Update 1.93-4 Patch Notes

• Adjusted the explosive damage of landmines already present on the maps (against the player)

• Added 2560x1600 resolution support

• To reduce the amount of inventory management work, I made it so that under the following circumstances, the game will try to put the items back to player's backpack; and if anything can't fit, they'll be dropped on the ground with a warning message:

1. When closing the trading menu while some items are in the "sell" grid
2. When closing the serum crafting/cooking menu while some ingredients are in the "ingredients" grid, or if a serum is in the "product" box
3. When closing the workbench menu while any items are in the input/output grid
4. When closing the farming menu while any seed/fertilizer are in the boxes

Quick bug fix

I finally found the issue with Easter egg #9 missing. This update fixes it, but for older saves the egg might be gone. So in this update I made the birds also drop egg #9 so that the egghunt can be completed. Sorry about the trouble!

0.9.0: Radio Technician OUT NOW!

Hey Drifters,
This update is a big one! In 0.9.0: Radio Technician we’ve tackled a bunch of interconnected features to improve the overall play experience. It sets the stage for the narrative, improves key features like morale and town movement, and updates the entire world. There’s a lot to cover, so check out the changelog for the full list!

What's next?

Our original intent was to let this patch simmer on experimental for a long time and slowly update the narrative as we go, but! Since the patch has been widely well received on experimental and has huge changes to the overall game experience, we decided to put it live starting with the Radio Technician's narrative.

Now, that means we'll be hopping on experimental again soon to test additional narrative, quests for specialists, drifter stories and more.

Early Access 0.9.0: Radio Technician

This patch focuses on improving the overall play experience by tackling a bunch of interconnected features all at once. It sets the stage for the narrative, improves key features like morale and town movement, updates the world, and smooths out the gameplay. This patch is a huge step towards developing the game towards the 1.0 release. Note: the narrative will be released in small chunks over multiple patches. This patch only includes the introductory quests and the Radio Technician.

Narrative

• Did extensive work behind the scenes to implement scenarios, quests and narrative. This is the groundwork for the narrative as we develop towards 1.0.
• Without spoiling: Added an introductory quest that unfolds after rescuing a certain drifter with an idea to reach more people. This quest line will gradually expand in upcoming patches.
• Without spoiling: Added a first small 'encounter' quest that reveals more about the drifters you rescue. More of these will be added in upcoming patches.
• Added various new landmarks tied to quests and specialists.

Pollution

• Pollution has returned! Some regions now have pollution levels.
• Currently these regions are: Polluted Woods and City. Both of these regions will only come into play later in the game.
• Drifters swimming in polluted waters will gradually accumulate pollution.
• Certain buildings, like the Desalinator, will generate a pollution cloud when used in polluted regions.
• Certain resources, like Seaweed, will be polluted in these regions and must be cleaned before they can be used to produce non-polluted food.

World

• Scouting now reveals both the current region and it's neighboring regions.
• Scouting can now spot drifters and other notable landmarks in neighboring regions. The Watchtower no longer spots drifters during the night.
• The map now displays the town's maximum movement range.
• New Region: Shallows. A fully flooded area with no landmarks, contains flotsam and fish.
• New Region: Farmlands. Previously part of the 'rural ruins' region, now a distinct region with farmland landmarks and its own unique resources.
• Updated Region: Rural Ruins. Now a compact village region, where various goods can be found.
• New region: Polluted Woods. Previously part of the Woods region, now a pollution-afflicted variant with it's own unique resources.
• Overhauled all regions to better reflect their identity and have more logical resource distribution.
• Remade all maps applying new region structure.

Drifters

• The time will now speed up by 25x when all drifters are sleeping, effectively skipping the night when nothing occurs.
• Reworked Drifter Morale:
• Morale no longer affects experience gain directly but now modifies their work and movement speed! However, drifters working with high morale (and thus work speed) will still result in more experience gain, as they finish their work quicker.
• Morale now ranges from 0 to 100, with 100 as the maximum. (Previously, morale could go negative 10 and positive 10) All morale modifiers have been adjusted accordingly.
• Drifters now have a morale modifier for Expertise. This is a morale modifier based on their level. Resulting in low level drifters having a high morale boost, which slowly becomes drops as they grow in level.
• Removed the "Exhaustion" morale modifier. Instead, drifters now have a negative morale modifier when they are without a home.
• Rebalanced the work-speed modifiers gained from the Drifter's attributes, as morale now also modifies work-speed.
• Drifters now prioritize tasks more efficiently. Additionally, they are more responsive to priority changes.
• Greatly improved efficiency for drifters doing workshop assignments.
• Additionally, you can now set priorities on each workshop.
• Adjusted the order of all drifter's assignments to improve base efficiency.
• Reintroduced level-based experience scaling: Higher levels now require progressively more experience to level up. Previously, every level required a flat experience amount.

Town Movement

• The Town Tugger now only increases the town's weight capacity, thus the town's movement range is now solely determined by the energy storage capacity.
• Due to this change, weight tiers now increase gradually and are never lowered by building additional Town Tuggers. The previous named weight tiers, like "light," have been replaced by 20 numbered weight tiers that increase movement costs at specific weight thresholds.

Food

• Food has undergone a significant rework due to huge pressure on food production as the game progressed into mid-game. The pacing felt too harsh once 'ordinary' food was required, so we've aimed smoothed this out.
• All food recipes have been either rebalanced, removed or new ones have been created to create a more gradual progression.
• Wild Farmland landmarks now only yield potatoes by default, the only crop to survive the garbage floods. Tomato, wheat, and corn landmarks are now rare.
• Added a new food quality: "Tasty". This bridges the gap between "Ordinary" and "Yummy," easing the transition during mid-game.
• The Fishing Chair has been reworked to fulfill its original intended purpose. While previously it could slowly fish infinite Nibbler fish, it can now fish any type of fish within the town's swimming range.
• The Chop Shop and the food "Fish Chops" have been removed, as they no longer serve any purpose.
• The Unbottler now requires Eel-ectricity to function.
• Added new specialist: The Farmer.

Resources

• Goods have now been split into "Plastic Junk", "Wood Junk" and "Electric Junk". Each have to be recycled in the Recycler for their scrap variant.
• Tools have now been split into "Demolition Tools", "Chopping Tools", "Precision Tools", "Power-Tools", "Pumps" and "Ladders". Different tools now unlock different resources from landmarks.
• New construction: Power-Tool Maker. This building requires Eel-ectricity to make powerful Tools.
• Overhauled the Tech Tree.
• New construction: Wood Plaza(s). These are wooden Park Variants to introduce decorations earlier in the game.
• New decorations: "Simple Decorations". These are decorations made using Plastic and Wood Junk.
• Removed Seaweed Spores, Seaweed can now be grown using only Seaweed, similar to other crops.
• New crop: Pine Tree. It grows slowly and can be harvested for Drywood.

Misc

• You can now attach buildings to parks and fields.
• The Build Menu has now been split into a Build Menu and a Decoration Menu, making it easier to place and remove decorations.
• You can now directly report bugs in the game by going to the Pause Menu and using the bug-reporting tool.
• LoadWindow now displays the path to the saves directory when the explorer button is clicked on any platform other than windows.
• Greatly improved the overall performance of the game.
• And many more various small improvements and fixes.

Glossary

• Fixed issue where incorrect information was displayed in the Glossary regarding Weight, Research Requirements and more.
• Updated the Glossary to display all available information on Buildings and Resources.
• Improved the Glossary’s visuals for better readability.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where Drifters did not receive a morale boost from researching if it was their affinity.
• Fixed issue where a Drifter would remain displayed in the HUD.
• Fixed issue where a Seagull landmark had a Drifter on it instead.
• Fixed issue where pathfinding could break, resulting in lag spikes.
• Fixed issue where the game would lag due to a large number of daily report notifications being restored.
• Fixed issue where rescuable drifters appeared as 'NULL' after loading a save.
• Fixed issue where drifters would get stuck when a workshop was deconstructed.
• Fixed issue where producers were unable to produce items after an item that was being produced got cancelled.
