Hello Survivors!

We have V2.5 b20 EXP for you right now.

This update fixes the dreaded bedroll respawn bug where you could be placed off the playable map area and has many other things in it.

We are also testing a fix for an issue where when clients install vehicle storage mods after the vehicle had loot in it, this occasionally results in a deletion of the modded vehicle's storage.


b23 hotfix:

Vehicle storage item deletion was successfully fixed.


here's what changed since b20:

Changed
  • Trader Jen model updated

Fixed
  • Adding a vehicle storage mod removes existing inventory
  • Short animals were not just walking through 1m openings
  • Dogs and wolves were too tall to walk through 1m openings
  • Spawn menu would spawn entities on the player's head if looking downward
  • Honey Glazed Sham and Master Chef causing an empty recipe ingredient



Here's what changed since b18:

Added
  • Inventory UI Audio - Empty Jars, Beeswax, Clothes
  • Loading tool tips for weather survival, seeds, Dew Collector, Apiary, and additional info about collectors

Bringing back farming and introducing a true hybrid learn-by-reading / learn-by-doing system would complete the experience for me. Reading magazines or schematics should unlock what you can craft, while actually doing the work should improve efficiency, quality, and mastery over time. With jars restored, these are the final legacy mechanics I genuinely miss.

Please add back farming and add a hybrid learn by reading/doing system and you will never hear me complain again, with jars back this is the last two old systems I miss.

The farming on the ground isn't gonna be a thing due to memory issues and limited resources

This is the part I struggle to understand. That explanation gets used a lot, but there are major mods—like Darkness Falls and others—that reintroduce ground-based farming and run without noticeable memory or performance issues. If it can function at the mod level, it’s hard to see why it’s technically impossible at the base game level. That makes it feel more like a design decision than a hard engine limitation. Unless it’s because of consoles.

I wouldn't know really cuz im not on pc yet but the old console version had ground farming but tbh I could do with or without it. Other biomes tho I would kill for but that's besides the point

This is already possible. Take a look at the Pyro Paints mod on Nexus. It isn't XML only, but you aren't going to change the textures using only XML.

Mods can do things we would not want in the base game for performance or memory reasons. Consoles have little memory to spare and we want feature parity between platforms. We are working on entity and player clothing dynamic loading and unloading from bundles which may free up more memory someday.

Dakness Falls can be played on potent PCs but probably would be almost unplayable on minimum spec PCs. And I would bet it would not work with the memory constraints of a console even if Sony/MS allowed mods there. A modder can ignore this problem, TFP can't.

(This is just an explanation that a mod with some feature does not mean TFP can add that feature. I don't know anything specific about ground-based farming)
 
"Increased the gamestage_modifier of the desert, snow, and wasteland biomes from .5,1,1.5 to 1,2,3"

Well that explains why the Day 28 horde night in the desert came with a bunch of charged and infernal zombies and my first death. Even with steel I couldn't keep my fighting position repaired fast enough.

Going to have to make some adjustments. End game definitely got pushed out. No way I'm moving to snow or wasteland any time soon. Might need to turn down max horde night zombies a bit, too.
