- 0.11.5 - Patch Notes - 9 September 2026
🤝 Friends and invitesInviting a friend from the main menu or the pause menu now actually reaches them, and joining works as expected. This is the fix for the invites that quietly went nowhere. One friends panel, shared by the main menu and the pause menuEach friend row tells you whether the invite was sent or what went wrongThe list shows when it is loading, when it is empty, and offers Retry if Steam does not answer 🧟 AI Spawners Updated the AI spawners so zeeks and other enemies now don't respawn for a much longer time after you kill them.💥 Error & Crash Reporting If the game crashes, it now reports itself. The technical details are captured automatically, and a crash window lets you say what you were doing when it happened.What a report containsYour hardware, graphics driver, settings, and roughly where you were in the worldThe last stretch of log leading up to the problemIt does…
- Salvage & Repair - 4 September 2026
📦 Containers give loot again. A dozen loot tables and crafting recipes pointed at items that no longer existed — cash registers, resource caches, tool and ammo stashes, the military vehicle cache, and the zombie nest all came up empty, and the Cupboard recipe could never be crafted. All of them resolve now. 🔧 Repair works on everything that wears out. Every degrading item has a repair recipe, the repair list no longer runs off the edge of the panel, and the Repair button stays disabled until you actually have the materials. 🏗️ Building places one part per click instead of several. 🐞 Report a bug from inside the game. It captures your machine, your settings, and where you were standing, so a report arrives with the context already attached. 🎒 Character cosmetics. Backpacks, hats, and helmets now fit as proper wearable gear. 🗺️ World pass. Placement and loot across the map have been…
- The Darkness has arrived - 31 August 2026
The Darkness Update Something is watching us...A monolith is hovering over the wasteland. Nobody knows when it arrived or what it wants... The DarknessEver since that monolith arrived, we've been seeing these dark red clouds of fog, and they seem to just keep growing in number and size. The fog has proven to be lethal if you breathe it, but what comes afterward is even more horrifying.The only thing we've found that helps stay the Darkness are these Beacon Posts that Zector designed way back in the day. The kicker? They are powered by Luminium, one of the rarest and most precious minerals on the planet. Luminium and luma light The dark has one reliable enemy, and you can carry it. Luminium ore — cut it out of nodes in the field, refine it into ingots at a bench. Luma capsules — throwable. A burst of luma light where you need it, when something is coming and you'd rather it wasn't dark.…
