- Gunner & Protagonist Update - 21 November 2025
The upcoming version introduces manual aiming. Now, the protagonist can aim while moving, staying ready to shoot at any moment. Fire rate while moving is slightly slower than firing while standing still, but when danger strikes, being ready often matters more than speed.And that’s not all — in the next update, the protagonist and all human characters will be able to run. This means faster movement and more dynamic gameplay. But don’t get too comfortable — with every new advantage, there’s a new challenge waiting for you.The Gunners are built for both offense and defense. When they follow the main character, they respond more accurately to your commands — aligning their aim with yours and firing in perfect sync with the protagonist’s shots.\\Also, new buildings are going to be added.👉 Follow us on YouTube and Twitter for the latest news!
- New AI Farmer System Update Coming in December! - 12 November 2025
Your workers just got smarter. From now on, when you assign any unassigned worker to a building like the Wood Cutter Tent, Stone Cutter Tent, or Farm, they will automatically change outfits and begin collecting resources — no manual control needed.During the day, they work tirelessly: chopping trees, mining stone, and harvesting crops. As they level up, they’ll equip better tools — from simple axes to power saws for faster gathering.But when the sun sets, everything changes. These same workers swap their tools for weapons and head behind the walls to defend your base from incoming threats.The new AI system means your workers are now self-sufficient, faster, and smarter — freeing you to focus on strategy, expansion, and survival.Follow our YouTube channel!
- Meet the Unassigned Workers - 5 November 2025
Not all survivors have found their purpose — yet. Unassigned workers are versatile survivors who haven’t been assigned to a specific profession but still possess valuable general (and sometimes rare) skills.You can directly control these characters to open blocked paths, repair damaged structures, or take on special tasks that others can’t. They’re essential to keep around your base — flexible, resourceful, and always ready to adapt.During the day, they await your command. You can assign them to gather wood, repair a wall, or even craft weapons to arm your workforce. But when night falls, their true resilience shines: unassigned workers grab stones or firearms (if upgraded) to defend the base and repair walls between enemy waves.Keep a few unassigned workers close — they’re the backbone of survival, ready for anything the darkness brings.
