- Weather/Seasons Update - 19 May 2021
Welcome back, fellow vagrants! It's been a while since you've heard from us, but we've been hard at work preparing the newest update for Urban Survival; the Weather and Seasons update. You'll notice some pretty significant changes the next time you log in after the update. Calendar The game now hosts a calendar, visible on your map. The game will advance through the days at midnight, obviously Each day new trash containers will appear through out the city, making your trash supply endless Each season has 7 days Each season will contain a holiday in a future update Seasons and Weather Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter all have their own unique weather and challenges. In the Spring you will find more rain, and sometimes thunderstorms In the Summer there will be less rain and wind, and more heat, possibly heatwaves Autumn is getting colder, a warning for what's to come. As well as hailsto…
- Christmas -> Spring Update - 5 February 2021
Since the integrated Calendar and Seasons system is not yet in place, we have removed the Christmas content for the time being. Coming Soon: This content will be available again fairly soon, as we move into a dynamic seasons and date system. Each game file will progress through the calendar year, starting in Spring and moving through Winter as you play. Each season will bring new challenges, as the Temperature and Weather systems will also be included in this update. Each Season will be divided into a 7 day Calendar, and Seasonal events like Halloween and Christmas will be active during the appropriate season in game. (For example, Halloween will be active during the last 2 days of Autumn.)

- Navigation Patch - 9 November 2020
We will be updating the game very soon with a patch that should optimize Character navigation. The game used to try to generate navigation only once. This would often result in an inaccurate nav mesh after the world had finished randomizing (or applying the randomized world from any existing game file), and especially after placing new buildings. This would sometimes result in characters getting stuck in certain places, which could cause nearly irreparable damage to save files if the game data was saved at bad times. However, in the next version, the navigation mesh will be updated constantly, but only within loading zones around the player. Allies who are sent home (by interacting with them while they are in your party), will try to walk towards home for a while, but will teleport after a short period. In the older versions, characters sent home would actually try to path all the way b…

- Hotfix - 5 October 2020
Very quick patch here to fix an issue with the Storage building. Accessing this building hard locked your game as the close button was being hidden by other UI elements. This has now been fixed, and the Storage building should work as intended.
- Small Patch 2 - 28 September 2020
Uploading a patch here to fix a few of the first couple bugs we've noticed. Don't hesitate to let us know about any bugs you find, that way we can build a comprehensive fix list faster. This patch will fix the following: - Bottles breaking immediately after throwing (player) - Decreased chance for certain weapons to knock down opponents when power attacking - Toned down the trip out effects - Added some clarifying text to Signy tutorial - Fixed some item thumbnails not loading properly - Fixed some other UI errors (buttons, mostly) - Fixed a possible error obtaining the "17 accomplishments" reward
- Small patch - 26 September 2020
Just uploaded a patch which should fix an achievement glitch. If you'd completed any of the following: -Scrapper -Our First Dollar -Spore King -Blood Donation -Blood Bath But did not get the achievement in game, or posted to Steam, simply download the update, load up your file, and earn another point towards the achievement, and it should unlock. For example, if you have over $1.00 in game, but did not get Our First Dollar, loading your file and earning another cent should unlock the Achievement after updating.
