Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Beta 0.9.88 Changelog (2026-07-29 ~ 08-07)
New Content
Oil tanks now contain chemicals such as fuel and nitric acid, and explode when destroyed.
Grass you cut down no longer grows back after loading a save; cutting grass drops grass seeds you can scatter on the ground to grow a small patch of grass.
Paint textures can now be imported from a local image.
New item: "Fever Reducer" (crafted at the medicine bench).
Magazines can now be disassembled to recover the spring.
Added a compact mode to the vehicle control panel that takes up less of the screen while driving.
Added descriptions for buildable structures in the construction panel, plus an "Owned" count in the material list.
Feedback sent from the Feedback Center now includes system crash information (if any).
Improvements & Changes
Fixed built objects reverting to blueprints after loading a save; storage boxes, fridges and other production devices in affected saves are restored to their built state automatically.
Targeted fixes for missing buildings.
Weapon Modification: attachment info is now a stat table; right-click an attachment to remove it directly; installed attachments count toward the weapon's total value.
Smoother reloading and item use: drag ammo straight onto a gun to reload; magazines reload directly from ammo in the same container; decoders, spray paint, attachments, bait and the like can be used straight from a container.
Batteries can now be swapped directly in the equipment slot for items such as night vision goggles.
Vehicle batteries now drain charge instead of durability; a dead battery can be recharged or repaired.
A merchant's stock, prices and deals now stay the same until the next restock; buying hands over the exact item shown on the shelf (a weapon's special traits no longer change).
The First Aid Kit now immediately stops bleeding on every body part.
Food body temperature values now follow your temperature unit setting (Celsius / Fahrenheit).
Inventory: double right-click to drop an item; Alt + Left Click takes one, Ctrl + Left Click takes half; much better space efficiency in auto-sort.
The weapon hotbar selection frame now shows whether the weapon is drawn (green: in hand; yellow: holstered).
Repair kits are noticeably more effective on weapons such as the mining laser gun and the M2 flamethrower.
Zombies now switch targets when a closer target appears or gunfire is heard nearby, and get stuck on windows far less often.
Improved faction recognition for wild animals and hostile NPCs.
NPCs no longer dismantle shelves / cabinets or player-built structures.
Closing your backpack now asks for confirmation if liquids are not in a container.
Cancelling a crafting job now refunds the tool durability that was consumed.
Equipment comparison panels and item tooltips no longer run off the screen.

Fixed items possibly being duplicated when disassembling / destroying containers.
Fixed the shell collector being lost when disassembling a gun.
Fixed repairable items disappearing once their durability ran out.
Fixed a duplicate weapon appearing when a melee weapon's durability ran out.

Fixed the tooltip refreshing repeatedly while hovering over a body part.
Fixed getting stuck and unable to move when opening the backpack while climbing through a window / rolling / vaulting.
Fixed the progress bar not showing for actions such as reloading inside a vehicle; the backpack and crafting panels now work properly while in a vehicle.
Fixed the crafting panel covering the container / looting panel on the right.
Fixed the game becoming unpaused after returning to the backpack from reading a letter.
Fixed several controller issues.

Other
Fixed being soaked by waves while standing on dry ground several tiles away from the sea.

We conducted a thorough investigation into the performance stuttering and GC crashes that occurred after the game had been running for some time. During this process, we also implemented multiple optimizations to address potential performance bottlenecks. The root cause turned out to be a very basic logic error.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40676593/fc22bcf17b3ce6e29c4ca71196e21059dde66961.png"]
The issue was caused by the item UI object pool not being reused after objects were returned to it during gameplay. As a result, inactive GameObjects kept accumulating. After about half an hour of play, the game could end up creating more than 100,000 GameObjects. This led to increasing stutters over time (which in practice correlated with how often the inventory was opened). Eventually, the GC marking workload exceeded what the system could handle, causing the game to crash with a GC error.
This issue has now been fixed, and we have also implemented several optimizations to reduce stuttering during gameplay.
In addition, the MOD Editor is currently in development.
Summary of Changes
Fixed performance stuttering and GC crashes that could occur after long play sessions.
Fixed an issue where the item UI object pool was not properly reused, causing abnormal GameObject growth (in some cases exceeding 100,000 objects).
Improved object management logic to significantly reduce performance degradation over time.
Multiple performance optimizations to improve overall smoothness.
MOD Editor coming soon.
Thank you for your support, patience, and understanding!
Based on feedback from Discord,
I discovered that after the last update,
there was an issue where game chunks could not be saved..
This was caused by the use of asynchronous saving for performance optimization,
which led to potential thread conflicts...
The issue has now been resolved.
If you encountered this problem,
I sincerely apologize.
The game can now save and load properly without any issues.
Really sorry about this issue...
If you have any further feedback or suggestions,
please feel free to contact the developer via email or Discord.

Fixed timezone errors that occurred in various languages and regions.
Fixed an issue where fishing rod couldn’t be cast.
Fixed an issue where the mouse would disappear when using a controller.
Updated the descriptions for some weapon entries.
Increased the damage of the laser cannon item.
Significantly increased the durability of melee weapon attachments.
Thanks to players from regions such as Poland and France for sending detailed feedback via email.
I have finally pinpointed the timezone issue...
It was caused by differences in string formatting across different regions.
If you encountered any timezone issues before (e.g., flashlight not illuminating the scene),
they should now be resolved.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused to some players...
I truly believe this time the issue has been fixed...
This issue was caused by a string formatting error.
To avoid corrupted strings in previous save files,
it is recommended that players who encountered region format errors
start a new save file to continue playing.

we received some feedback regarding abnormal lag in the game.
With the help of the player community,
I was able to get the save file that triggered the lag
and conducted an urgent investigation.
I found that the issue was caused by the character's physics system settings.
However, in the last update, I only modified the vehicle physics system
and did not make any changes to the character physics.
This issue may have been caused by a bug in the game engine that altered my settings.
After identifying the problem,
I immediately implemented the necessary fix.
The latest version should no longer experience this abnormal lag.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused. As the developer, I truly regret this issue.
Every major update has the potential to introduce new problems,
but most of them are quickly resolved.
If you encounter any new issues,
please package your game save file into a ZIP file
and send it to my email.
[email protected]
I will respond and address the issue as soon as possible.
