It has been some time since we’ve done an update or a blog for that matter. We took a break from our regular 6 week update schedule to dial some things in. We’ve spent a lot of time adding core features, getting the base of the game together and in a presentable state which it currently is. We’ve spent countless hours improving current features and tweaking mechanics, producing content on a regular 6 week schedule but sometimes you need to take a step back and enjoy yourself.

We’ve spent the last couple of months introducing some big game changes, some nice fixes and a good deal of new content. This blog will cover just a portion of what has been put into the 1.24 build.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QYXcYeaAhE


We’re introducing the beginning of a system we’ll be expanding on. Previously items in your home and around the world were harvestable. You could get would from trees, tables and benches, scrap from metal objects etc. However it was rather static and the prop itself remained in the game world. This wasn’t how we envisioned the mechanic when we concepted.

The mechanic has been completely refreshed in 1.24 and we couldn’t be happier with the results. As many of you have requested harvestable objects in the world from trash piles to couches will now be removed when you harvest from them. This opens up a ton of opportunity for base building, expanding, organizing and customization.


Structure Cleanup


Exterior Cleanup

With the introduction of structure cleanup we’re going to be expanding on base building. This build introduces this mechanic with wooden furniture. We’re all ears when it comes to crafting ideas so if you have any good ones feel free to drop in and share them with us.


Shelving and Tables

Along with shelving we’ve introduced function pegboard. This allows players to physically store items like they can on freestanding shelving. The pegboard will allow you to snap items like tools and weapons to the wall, a great deal of organizing fun!


Pegboard


Pegboard Functioning

There are some big changes to our crafting system in 1.24 and one of them is workbenches. In previous builds some recipes required either a large or small workbench. The large workbench not being a craftable item. Some recipes that should have required a bench didn’t some that did, shouldn’t have.

1.24 refreshes the workbench system. Small and large workbenches are now craftable, large workbenches have a functioning pegboard, large workbenches can ‘store’ tools allowing players to place tools on the bench itself or the pegboard attached to it. Recipes that have a tool requirement can be crafted simply by standing near a workbench with tools on it.

Along with these changes none of the crafting recipes require a bench anymore. Workbenches now speed up the crafting process. The smaller bench speeds up crafting, can’t hold tools but it’s easier to craft and a decent mobile option. The large workbench stores tools and greatly reduces crafting times.


Workbench timing


A large workbench and pegboard

We have completely reworked the way some larger items in games are now crafted. The 1.24 build will introduce large item blueprints. Blueprints can be crafted simply and only require the tools to get the items base built. This should allow players to plot out fortifications and interior improvements. Players can then apply resources to the base blueprints and create the full prop.

We have also made another much requested tweak and players will now find they can hold shift to enter fine placement mode. This mode allows for more precise rotation allowing more accurate placement.


Blueprint planning


Build mechanic in action


Workbench crafting


Fine placement

We’ve added another player storage container. Adjusting the original container to 40 slots and adding a smaller 20 slot variant.


Large and small containers

From the original concept to the introduction of the leveling systems a quite a few updates ago we’ve wanted to link crafting to the level system. 1.24 introduces this feature (server option of course). It gives good reason to the level system and brings out idea of a simple level/crafting system full circle.

Along with this addition we’ve upped the max game level from 20 to 30. We will balance this feature as we work thorough experimental builds should you all find any issues with it.

You might also notice that crafting now covers the entire page and we’ve split things out into easy to find categories.


Level locked crafting


We’ve made some barricade improvements, free placed fortifications now place with full strength and at a proper right angle. This has been a much requested fix/feature allowing players to create square walls removing the gap others could squeeze through.


90 degree fortifications


Full strength barricades

We have made really nice feature tweaks when it comes to the current traps in game. We’ve added a fully automatic shotgun trap you can use the FRKS to build. This is really useful for protecting a small doorway/hall. The original shotgun trap now correctly takes the double barrel.

Along with the new shotgun trap, shotgun and propane traps are now dynamic in the sense that they can either be placed on the floor or in a window frame.

Bear traps will now hold zombies and players in place for quite some time or in a players case until they reach down and release the trap.

We’ve introduced a nail bomb pressure mine that can be placed ground level and provide moderate explosive damage.

Jerry cans are now very flammable so be careful where you’re shooting :wink:. Explosions also now chain so if you want to create a massive last stand wall around your base be sure to record the outcome!


Dynamic propane trap


Automatic shotgun trap


Nail bomb pressure trap


Chained explosions

We’ve added sights and scopes to the crossbow after quite a few requests. It makes hunting more entertaining for sure.



We have made a LOT of changes here, we’ve added a lot and tweaked a lot. This build could really used a thorough review. Please check against the changelog below and report any issues you find directly to the team on Discord.

The Halloween event has begun so enjoy the tricks and treats now until November 2nd.



Watch the full length movie right in the game. Find a film reel while trick or treating. You can take the reel to either of the drive-in theaters and play the movie via the projection room. Try and survive a couple of hordes while watching a classic film!





You'll find most of the structures in the game will currently have decorations around the doorstep and a new door knocker. Use the door knocker once the sun sets for a trick-or-treat. Tricks aren't always fun but the treats should make killing them easier ;)

How to get into experimental branch:

1. Open Steam and go to your games library.
   
2. Right click on STN and select "Properties"
   
3. Navigate to the "Betas" tab and select "experimental" in the drop down menu.
   
4. Close the properties window.
   
5. You will find a single experimental server titled EXPERIMENTAL_SERVER. Join this for some testing.

Hey now, hope you’re all well. We’re moving our latest build to the default branch today. We’ve been cracking along on quality of life improvements and putting polish on current features over the last couple of weeks. We’ll be separating QoL updates out with a few big ones coming in the next couple of months. This update puts some polish on our inventory system, introduces new weapon features and a new weapon.

Please note: We'll be doing a data base wipe on existing official servers. We're introducing new weapons and attachments and feel it would be a good time to clean things up. We've not had server reset in some time so this should freshen up the world.

We’re introducing a new weapon in this update. The MK4 has quickly become a favorite among the team. It’s smaller than the ARG, faster and takes 9mm ammo. The MK4 can be fitted with all of our sights, suppressors and flashlights. Along with these attachments you’ll be able to attach an extended magazine, burst fire mechanism and the fully automatic mechanism. The gun is a good deal of fun and a monster when it comes to taking out hordes.



If you’d like to jump right in and check out the MK4 straight away a good way to do that would be to check out our Nazi Zombie scenario. You can find this scenario in the workshop. It’s a good deal of fun, the current team record is 10 waves let us know if you can beat it!




Nazi Zombie Weapon Cache

Model swaps aren’t a massive task but a rather tedious one and they can be very time consuming. Andre has made some great progress and we’ve swapped out (4) of our current models. The Rauser Rig (9mm), FRKS (auto shotgun), R-6804 (sniper), lola (.45) and The Bateman.

Along with these model swaps we’ve made improvements to animations and animation timings. Speeding things like reloads up just enough to make general gameplay feel more fluid. We’ve introduced new audio sets for quite a few of our weapons as well, they sounds much more lively especially the Bateman! :)


Old/New FRKS


FRKS Inspect and Fire

Full automatic firing mechanisms will now spawn for some of the weapons in our game. The Rauser Rig, ARG15 and the FRKS will get the option to accept a fully automatic mechanism. The Rauser Rig and the ARG will also receive burst fire attachments.



We’ve been working on inventory improvements and the next build will feature some really nice ones. The biggest addition here is the ability to quickly view, add and remove weapon attachments right on the right side inventory page (main tab). You can also now equip and close the inventory allowing for quick access to weapons and weapon changes/attachments.


Adding Attachments


Removing Attachments


Equip and Close

We’ve made numerous smaller tweaks including tweaks to the FPS skin, updating the sleeve textures and increasing resolution on the skin of the hand.


Old Sleeve/Hand


New Sleeve/Hand

We’ve increased the feedback on empty clips/rounds as players felt sometimes it could go too unnoticed, just at the wrong time haha. You’ll now notice the ammo icon flash letting you know you better reload or run.


No Ammo Feedback

New red dot sight shader added for more realistic effect on Reflex/Compact/APUG sights.


Updated Sights

We’ve made it easier to exit the lock UI screen, you can simply click anywhere on screen (other than the lock) and it will clear now.



Improvements to melee detections, making things a bit more fluid and far more satisfying/fair.
