The key things in this vehicle update are that we added fuel and battery mechanics. There won't be any more infinite driving around the island. Here is how those features will work:

Spawning

• Cars now spawn with 30-50% health 0-30% fuel and 0-30% battery life
  
  
• All cars that are on the island (cars in bases or cars that were already spawned somewhere on the island) before the patch, will have 10-30% fuel and battery life and the same health as before

Fuel

• Fuel is consumed while starting the car if the car is turned on and idle, and while driving.
  
  
• If your car has no fuel, you won't be able to start it at all.
  
  
• There are 2 new interactions Fill Fuel and Drain Fuel
  
  
• You can fill fuel in your car in 2 ways, either go to a gas station or you have a gasoline canister
  
  
• Drain fuel is used to remove gasoline from a car into a gasoline canister. You have to have the canister in hands, close vicinity or inventory

Battery

• The car battery is drained by turning the car on, having lights turned on, radio and honking
  
  
• If your battery is below 20% capacity turning the car on will take longer, the current time needed to turn on the car can get up to 8 seconds depending on how depleted your battery is and your driving skill
  
  
• If your battery is empty there are 2 ways you can start your car.
  
  • 1. If your car is on a downhill slope, the acceleration key (W) will simulate the clutch. So when the car starts going downhill hold the W key until it turns on, pressing the break or releasing the W key will turn the car off again.
    
    
  • 2. If you are not on a downhill slope, you need to hold the acceleration key while another player needs to do the Push Start action on the car, this will push start the car.
• We added a new interaction Charge Battery if your battery levels are drained
  
  
• If your car battery is empty you need to have another car battery with at least 1 use in it to be able to charge the car battery
  
  
• If your battery gets drained to 0% while driving lights, horn and the radio will stop working. Same applies if the battery gets drained while trying to start the car.
  
  
• The battery will slowly empty itself during 7 days
  
  
• The battery recharges while driving

Gas Station

• Each gas station has a certain amount of fuel that is represented with small lights
  
  
• The fuel at gas stations refills in time intervals
  
  
• Gas stations have a certain amount of gas pumps that can be used to refill cars or gasoline canisters

Misc

• Fill Fuel, Drain Fuel and Charge Battery action completion time depend on your engineering skill. Each completed action gives engineering skill experience
  
  
• Car decay now resets after a successful engine start, so if you don't have fuel or battery charges to start the car it will keep decaying, this way we hope we will counter car hoarding

• Sentries now display their major states with headlight color - relaxed/patrolling as white, alerted as orange and combat as red
  
  
• Sentries no longer instantly detect the player
  
  
• Players now have a chance to leave the guarded zone by complying to sentries instructions after the initial spotting
  
  
• Sentries will now destroy a vehicle blocking their movement path

• After a puppet detects you you have more time to hide before it starts chasing you
  
  
• Foliage is now 100% cover regardless of the clothes you have on (works only for the AI)
  
  
• If a puppet comes to a distance of 2m or less when you are hidden, it will detect you regardless and attack you
  
  
• The time frame of a puppet noticing you depends now on few things: the distance between you and the puppet, clothing you have on yourself, time of day and weather conditions
  
  
• The eye that represented your visibility now is an indicator that shows when it fills up means that puppets and sentries spotted you
  
  

• The boombox is pretty much the same as a radio, just with more swag
  
  
• New music for the radio
  
  
• New sentry voice lines
  
  
• Fireworks attracts sentries and puppets

• You have 2 new log storage buildings, small and big shed.
  
  
• You can store big logs, small logs, planks and sticks into them

• 2 new storage elements for your items to reduce the need for hoarding chests
  
  
• The wardrobe has the horizontal size as a metal chest and the vertical size as 3 metal chests
  
  
• The storage shelf has the horizontal size as a metal chest and the vertical size as 6 metal chests

• The minigame will have an intro with instructions now
  
  
• Space key starts the minigame
  
  
• Left click is used for lock picking instead of the F key
  
  
• ESC is used to exit the minigame while the info screen is active
  
  
• After an unsuccessful lockpick try you will be returned to the info screen
  
  
• Lock picking option will no longer be present when you have 0 fame points

• Admin drone will be able to look inside chests and see its content

• We did work on our streaming. So now you should encounter fewer hitches and fps drops while going into populated areas
  
  
• Also foliage optimizations that should result in smoother gameplay in nature biomes

• Damaged inventory cells will now start appearing at lower durability levels, depending on the item type
  
  
• Added more usage to watermelon so it doesn't instantly fill up your stomach volume
  
  
• Empty bag can now be crafted with rag stripes as well
  
  
• Cooker bomb can now be crafted with basic demolition skill
  
  
• Pipe bomb recipe adjusted, removed wire from it and added 3 rubber bands and 1 use of matches
  
  
• Buried traps are now less visible and blend better with terrain
  
  
• Chests now have 25% more inventory space vertical
  
  
• All bows should now be fixable with a toolbox

• Fixed bug where you could trigger your own traps with a vehicle
  
  
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to stack items over the stack limit in some cases
  
  
• Fixed stake pit traps not being defusable
  
  
• Fixed a bug where the vicinity panel would be stretched over the entire screen after accessing a car or chest inventory
  
  
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to add items to clothes over their weight limit
  
  
• Fixed base element owner names sometimes not visible in drone mode
  
  
• Fixed traps sometimes getting triggered by squadmates
  
  
• Fixed barbed spike traps despawning too soon
  
  
• Fixed water levels in some food items
  
  
• Fixed a PvP crash connected to smoke and dead bodies
  
  
• Fixed bug with M1 reload playing insert clip when there is one bullet in weapon and only ammo in inventory

Another round of private server shoutouts! Here are some that we found interesting!

IMPORTANT: In this day and age where everyone can be mad about anything, please refrain from bad mouthing mentioned servers or people who play on them. Also this is not the last private server showcase, if your favorite is not here it will be at one point.

Also there is no particular order besides alphabetical order, so let's see what the server owners had to say about their servers.

SCUM TV" is one of the first big German roleplay projects, we pioneers of a new era.
We love SCUM and we are proud to contribute our part to further advance SCUM. The game itself is designed for PVP, but also PVE and roleplay find their place. We love PVP and PVE, but we love roleplay even more.

SCUM itself offers a wonderful potential to live out roleplay based on the Game-Lore.
At that time, SCUM TV was founded after leaving server due to creative differences.

Over the course of time, other RP projects servers have evolved from time, Scum-Tv and took their own paths in the world of roleplay (with different main focuses), this allowed the German roleplay community grow larger. We see ourselves in the Hardcore-RP area, but we do our best to make it easier for beginners to get acquainted with roleplay, we help wherever we can and offer our experience and knowledge.

We pay attention to solid and valid roleplay, fun, but also profound roleplay is welcomed. SCUM simply offers a new form of RolePlay using new settings. What GTA offers through mods, SCUM already does through EA automatically.

All the available lore contained, SCUM opens up so many avenues for roleplay, because it leads to neo apocalyptic end world like in DAY-Z, but it is a game show and this fact makes it so extremely interesting for roleplay.

Hey guys, we are aware of the current issue with flags some players are encountering, we are looking into it. So what's the issue?

• Some people with old flags lost ownership over those flags.

We are looking into it as we speak, but for now, people who have that problem:

• Remake the flag in your base, that should fix the problem

If you encounter any other issues with flags or anything else, let us know on our steam forum!

Hello beautiful SCUMmunity!



D1nosaur and Kristian aka GamerBeast are back again to host the third episode with our new set of guests, featuring:





And the podcast you can watch on our official Twitch channel: Podcast starts in 30 minutes!

Be sure to pop by and ask some questions in chat, other developers will be there to answer some of your questions since we will be focused on the podcast, till next time!

D1no out.

No big deal, just a few things to fix up and we are good to go!

• Increased the precision of event wall dealing damage
  
  
• Shotgun shells can be crafted with lower skill now

• Chests are now repairable with a toolbox
  
  
• Fixed a bug being able to start disarming the trap if you place wire cutters back to inventory
  
  
• Fixed item duplication when placing an examined item into a stack
  
  
• Fixed a bug where burying a trap made it yours
  
  
• Fixed inventory size for crocs and skinned goat
  
  
• Reduced the damage on wire cutters when you throw them at someone
  
  
• You can drink vinegar now instead of eating it
  
  
• Fixed a bug where some item durability could be displayed wrong when unstacking items in multiplayer
  
  
• Added demolition skill experience to player when successfully disarming bombs

Hey guys, before we go into the patch notes just a little message from Gamepires.

Croatia's capital Zagreb was hit by the strongest earthquake in the last 140 years. We at Gamepires are fortunately all safe, but many people lost their homes and some of the ruined infrastructure is still being fixed. Our thoughts are with everyone who was affected by the earthquake.

Here are few pics how our office looks.

• For now only, bolts, nails and money have that option as it's still in the testing phase
  
  
• You can stack them simply by dragging them over each other.
  
  
• For now, stacking doesn't work in chests, only in vicinity and backpacks

• Each item's inventory can now contain damaged cells, depending on the durability of the item in question
  
  
• The damage spreads from the bottom right corner in circular motion
  
  
• If an item stays inside the damaged zone, it will be damaged over time (1% per damaged cell they are covered by per hour)
  
  
• You can take items out of the damaged zone, but you cannot put them back into the damaged zone
  
  
• If your inventory container (e.g. backpack) takes damage from outside sources (e.g. bullets), all items inside the damaged area will be additionally damaged (5% per damaged cell they are covered by)

So for defusing bombs we got you a game inside a game, this is how it works:

• There are 3 types of LEDs, red, yellow and green
  
  
• You can cut yellow ones and green ones, the bomb will only defuse if you cut the green ones, and nothing will happen if you cut the yellow ones
  
  
• If you cut the red one, you get a suprise...yea, you die
  
  
• The number of each color LED and time you have depends on your demolition skill
  
  
• You cut the wires on the metal plate on the left
  
  
• At no skill you have 4 seconds to defuse the bomb, at max skill you have 6 seconds

We implemented an UI marker for placed traps, visible only to trap owners in focus mode (similar to burying)

• It can be found in medical and lab areas

• Its crafted out of a needle (normal or bone) and thread.
  
  
• It has 15 uses

• Fixed issue with search sounds alerting sentries and puppets on long radius
  
  
• Added sound on event border, one while static and distinctive one while border is moving
  
  
• Reduced loudness of event announcer
  
  
• Tweaked outdoor distant reverb for better approximation of sound source distance

• We reworked the way players receive initial world state (fortifications, base building) so it is internally cleaner and intuitive to extend for future needs (e.g. synchronising the state of those elusive trees and bushes) In normal terms, this will make it easier for us to implement some features that are coming, and should fix the issue of doors being open to some players and being closed to others.
  
  
• Redesigned level up notifications. Removed level up text message in the bottom left corner
  
  
  
• Lowered maximum HP value on suicide puppets, reduced the range of the explosion, minimal damage and base damage it does
  
  
• Arrow tips now have 6 uses instead of 5
  
  
• Reduced the weight of compasses
  
  
• Hospital clothes have the same inventory size as inmate clothes
  
  
• Doubled the time between drone visits
  
  
• Increased weight load of work and military pants

• Fixed the bug when you would draw the compound bow the string would stretch in a demonic way.
  
  
  
• Fixed an issue where lots of torque would be applied when the player was further from the vehicle they were pushing.
  
  
• Fixed some issues with the event wall
  
  
• Fixed the bug where sorting servers by version didn't work
  
  
• Fixed and tweaked drawing centre dot when aiming bow in first person view
  
  
• Fixed the size of body parts of animals and humans in inventory If you had them in your chest or backpack its possible that they overlap now, just remove them from the container and put them back in
  
  
  
• Fixed stretched pistol icons in events
  
  
• Fixed a bug where slippers were too small in inventory

• Disabled blinking lights on armed traps
  
  
• Disabled trap warnings
  
  
• Birds should spawn normally now

The choice was not easy, there was a lot of servers to go through. That's why I decided to increase the number of servers from 3 to 4.

IMPORTANT: In this day and age where everyone can be mad about anything, please refrain from bad mouthing mentioned servers or people who play on them. Also this is not the last private server showcase, if your favourite is not here it will be at one point.

Also there is no particular order besides alphabetical order, so let's see what the server owners had to say about their servers.

The chaos here is nothing theoretical, it is real. The most advanced bot shop, advanced pvp and team tactics, developed large scale base building and shifted meta using resources obtained in pvp fights, large scale combat in custom warzones which bring you fame, wealth and glory are what makes it shine. Get to a drop point, pick up a gun and wreak havok to become top of the leaderboard. Active admins keep the server ticking with fast support and constant custom mechanic development to keep it fresh. The server is running for 2 and half years, from SCUMs first day of launch. Welcome to Chaos Theory - You have found home.
