Here is an update for Preppocalypse:
1. Screamer I.V. Quest switched to Preppo Communication Tower - Utility Worker Quest
With the revision to how the Screamer Quest functions since the V1.0 (b316)ish update, it is being switched on the Toolbelt with the Preppo Tower - Utility Worker Quest.
The Preppo Communication Tower is randomly placed in the biomes. It has been updated to add a new entity. The Preppo Tower - Utility Worker. This entity can only appear in the Preppo Communication Tower in its Prepper form. Visit multiple towers and eliminate 25 of these Utility Workers to complete the Quest.
They are easy to spot, since they carry a hammer and ratchet as their melee weapons.
The Screamer I.V. Quest is semi functional since even though the I.V. drip does trigger a heat amount to attract Screamers, it is not as instant as it used to be. As such, it is placed in the Starter Kit Pack as we can still complete the quest through regular heat production once we've accepted the Quest and placed the I.V. drip to start the Quest. We shall see if this changes in the future.
2. Preppo Hogzilla POI.
The default Hogzilla POI is a fun one, and has been given a variant for Preppocalypse that contains Prepper boss entities. It should be a fun one.
3. Trader Tech-Trio and Prepper Old West Bob
Trader Tech-Trio and Prepper Old West Bob were removed since the V1 progression system has some strict sequencing. However, it is now possible to add these custom traders back in by ensuring they do not appear in the Pine Forest and break the initial Trader Rekt requirement. Here is how it works.
Step 1. We join the game for the first time and complete the initial challenge. We are pointed to Trader Rekt.
Step 2. Trader Rekt will point us to Trader Jen upon completing 10 Quests. This is the V1 pattern.
However, in the desert biome we can find the Prepper Trader Bob in the Old West Town. He can only appear in the desert biome and is set to appear once or twice depending on the size of the World and number of Old West Towns. Prepper Trader Bob cannot appear in other biomes.
We can also find one or two instances of the Preppo Tech-Trio which consists of Jen, Hugh, and Joel. This POI can only appear in the Burnt Forest, Snow, or Wasteland.
This compromise allows the custom traders to return without breaking the progression system for V1.
It is possible to find the Preppo Tower - Utility Worker Quest in loot and if you missed as you are currently in a play through, it can still be found.
However, the Prepper Old West Bob and Tech-Trio POIs need to be added to a new World or manually added through the World Editor.
The updated Comm Towers will update to the new type on regions which have not been opened and the new sleeper groups should be active...
There is also a Radiated variant of the Preppo Tower - Utility Worker and he does not count towards the Quest. However, he will be counted towards the Radiated Prepper Zombies Quest. He can also be found in the Wasteland and Boss type POIs.
