Hello everyone!

We hope you’re enjoying the newly hotfixed Uncharted Depths update – thank you for all the comments and reactions in recent weeks, what a way to wrap up this year in development!

https://youtu.be/KrfuGfolLZk

With the five big updates we’ve released this year, Barotrauma has grown by leaps and bounds, and we’ve been thrilled to see our community continue to grow with it. Now it’s time for us to take a little Christmas break before heading into the new year and new updates, and we wish you wonderful holidays too. Find some more greetings on our blog, and see you next year!

Hello everyone!

Thanks for playing the newest update and giving feedback. This time, we had the opportunity to make a hotfix to address some of the inconvenient issues in the update, and that fix has just been released. See the full list of changes below and please be sure to update your game!

v0.11.0.10
- Fixed monster missions causing a disconnect in multiplayer mission mode.
- Fixed bots getting removed from the crew when starting a multiplayer campaign, returning to the lobby during the first round and then reloading the campaign.
- Fixed crashing when entering a new level in the campaign when an inactive pump has been infected with ballast flora.
- Fixed ballast flora branches respawning instantly if they're destroyed while they're growing towards a target.
- Fixed crashing when attempting to place components outside of the submarine in test mode.
- Fixed inability to rewire beacon stations when rewiring is disabled on the server.
- Fixed repair tools that aren't held causing a crash upon use (only affects modded items).
- Fixed raycast weapons (revolvers, shotguns, SMGs) sometimes not hitting monsters in specific areas outside the sub.
- Fixed submarine's price field being difficult to edit in the sub editor due to the value getting clamped above the minimum price while typing in the box.
- Potential fix to certain projectiles (e.g. harpoons, spineling's spikes) sometimes causing erratic physics behavior and errors (ragdolls going crazy, submarine getting launched off at a high velocity...) when they stick to the submarine or to characters.
- Fixed occasional crashes when swapping to another character's ID card with a mask or diving suit on.

v0.11.0.9

Environment overhaul:
- Remade textures.
- Branching level paths.
- More varied level layouts.
- Added small explorable caves alongside the main path.
- Made the floating ice chunks destructible.
- The areas outside the traversable path are solid instead of hollow, so it's no longer possible for monsters to spawn "outside the level" or for the sub to get lost at the wrong side of the level walls.
- Ice spires: tall, protrusions that cut holes in the submarine if you hit them.
- Piezo crystals: environmental objects that drain power from the submarine when you get too close to them.
- The biomes further on the campaign map are deeper down in the ocean, meaning that crush depth starts higher up in the level. The biomes near the end of the map require hull upgrades to traverse safely.
- Improved resource (minerals and plants) spawning: resources now spawn in clusters which can contain multiple instances of the same resource.
- Made thermal artifacts a bit more manageable: they now start a fires periodically, not continuously.

New missions:
- Nest missions where you need to enter a cave to destroy a monster nest.
- Beacon missions where you have to repair and power up a "beacon station".
- Mineral collection missions where you have to locate and mine a mineral cluster.

Additions and changes:
- Added ballast flora, a plant-like organism that can infect the submarine and leech power from junction boxes and batteries. A ballast flora infection may be contracted by passing through a colony of ballast flora spores (which are faintly visible on the sonar).
- Added a new monster, "Spineling".
- Adjustments and balancing to the way locations change to other types of locations: habitation now spreads faster as the player explores the campaign map further.
- Added new military outpost music track.
- Submarine hull upgrades increase the submarine's tolerance to pressure, allowing it to dive deeper without getting crushed by pressure.
- Deep Diver subs can dive 20% deeper than other subs without getting crushed.
- Added mineral scanning functionality for sonars: enabled by default for handheld sonars, can be enabled for other sonar devices in the Sub Editor with Sonar component's "HasMineralScanner" property
- Added concatenation component (a signal component that joins two inputs together).
- Added a ready check that can be used to check if everyone is ready to depart from an outpost in multiplayer.
- Added "ignore" order that can be used to prevent bots from using/repairing/taking specific items or devices.
- Discharge coil's range can be visualized by holding space while one is selected in the sub editor.
- Level difficulty affects the way outpost events are chosen (the more difficult events don't occur until later in the campaign).
- Non-wiring-related items become transparent in the sub editor's wiring mode.
- Improved turret range visualization in the sub editor.
- Made skill checks in outpost events probability-based: a low skill doesn't mean you'll always fail, just that you're less likely to succeed.
- Reworked bonethresher's behavior and attacks. Tigerthreshers now protect Bonethreshers with a low priority. Minor tweaks to the ragdolls and animations.
- Added water percentage output to water detector.
- Reduced scrap spawn rates in wrecks.
- Removed the explosive cargo mission variant where one of the explosives spontaneously explodes.
- Split combat missions into a separate game mode.
- Added a toggle for transparent wiring mode.
- The "Leaving Start Location" track isn't played at outposts.
- Increased default KillDisconnectTime to 5 minutes.
- Added pet food item.
- Added support for defining sonar icon colors in XML.
- Neutralize ballasts in submarine test level.
- Items can be attached to level walls.
- Fixed watcher's gaze causing severe effects inside the submarine.
- UI: Moved the navigation controls to the right side of the sonar view and readjusted the layout.
- Moved the cleanup order to the last in the maintenance category.
- Flagged certain parts of the nose and tail of the vanilla submarines as non-targetable, because the monsters tended to go inside the nose/tail parts too often.
- Increased the sound ranges for Tigerthresher, Leucocyte, Terminal cell, Mudraptor, and Crawler (should make them more audible).
- Crawlers, Tigerthershers, and Spinelings now avoid being killed by the engine (more or less).
- Adjusted the avoiding behavior for monsters.

Bots:
- Bots don't anymore clean up other diving suits when they have one equipped already.
- Bots don't anymore take diving suits off inside outposts (unless they have to).
- Fixed bots getting stuck on ladders when their body is near the floor.
- Fixed bots equipping diving gear too eagerly when the oxygen level drops in the room.
- Fixed all npcs and bots using the "Passive" idle behavior. Changed the guard idling so that they now more and prefer longer distances. Also other crew members should now move slightly more than previously.
- Increase combat priority of some tools so that the bots prefer those to toy hammer.
- More descriptive bot dialog when they can't find items they're looking for.
- Diving suits the bots have dropped in an outpost are automatically moved to the cargo bay when departing from the outpost.
- Outpost security allows "stealing" diving masks and suits if the outpost is flooding.
- Bots keep more distance to the player while following underwater and outside the sub.
- Fixed a rare crash in AIObjectiveIdle.Wander method.
- Bots now defend themselves (if possible) also when they are being attacked outside of the submarine.
- Bots should no longer hoard fuel rods.
- Fixed bots getting stuck while swimming near the submarine, because they kept switching between different steering modes.
- Fixed bots not avoiding other submarines connected to the submarine they are heading to while swimming around the submarine using waypoints.
- Fixed broken walls near hatches/doors sometimes preventing characters from entering the sub/outpost through the hatch/door.
- Fixed security or bots that have been ordered to fight enemies first fleeing from the enemies.
- Fixed bots sometimes failing to put out fires in multi-hull rooms.
- Fixed bots not being able to clean up items that occupy both hands (like the fire extinguisher).
- Fixed bots having issues with empty items while operating the reactor or the turrets, causing them e.g. to not knowing how to load the target item.
- Fixed outpost NPCs sometimes "cleaning up" the spawned toolbox in the event "clownrelations1".
- Fixed bots loading more rods to the reactor when the load is too high, even if the current amount of fuel is already enough to maximize the output.

Modding:
- Added "IgnoreWhileInside" and "IgnoreWhileOutside" parameters on character targeting parameters.
- Added ranged projectile attacks for monsters. See Spineling for an example. Note that there are five different rotation modes for the projectile aiming: Fixed, Target, Limb, MainLimb, and Collider.
- Added a "sweep attack", which makes the creature sinuate while closing to the target instead of moving straight towards it. Used on Spineling.
- Added limb hiding (permanent or temporary) with status effects. Used on Spineling.
- Added limb breaking with status effects.
- Allow characters to move full speed after attacking, when the cooldown is active. The property is found in the attack definition.
- Allow to use the idle behavior (wandering) after attacking, during the cooldown.
- Added "OnlyOutside" and "OnlyInside" attributes for status effects. Affects only the targets of the effect.
- Fixed particle's "LoopAnim" property doing nothing.

Bugfixes:
- Fixed occasional "missing entity" errors caused by the server failing to write an ID card's data in a network message.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused power to desync in multiplayer: when connecting the second end of a wire to a device other than a junction box, the server would sometimes not register the wire as being connected.
- Fixed previous messages disappearing from terminals and logbooks when transitioning to a new level in the campaign.
- Fixed sprite depths in dockingmodule 2, should prevent z-fighting.
- Fixed crashing when a bot abandons AIObjectiveCombat due to the target being in a different sub (e.g. if a character the outpost security is chasing moves from the outpost to the sub).
- Fixed undocking enabling all disabled nodes instead of just those that were connected to the docking port in question.
- Fixed EventManager to always choosing the same events from identical event sets in a given level. Meaning that if a level for example had 3 monster spawns that spawn either a crawler or a mudraptor, and the first event spawned a crawler, the rest would as well. In practice this lead to there being less variation in monster spawns than intended.
- Kastrull: Added more waypoints around the drone so that bots know how to get around it when it's docked to the main sub. Also fixed the airlock waypoints not being linked to the doors, causing the bots not being able to operate them.
- Fixed Health Scanner HUD showing a disguised character's true identity.
- Fixed health interface showing the original face and occupation of disguised characters.
- Fixed changelog layout getting messed up in the main menu after changing the resolution.
- Fixed some structures turning into wrecked versions when reloading the core content package with the "reloadcorepackage" console command.
- Fixed vent output being calculated incorrectly in multi-hull rooms.
- Fixed switch state being toggled when selecting them in the sub editor's wiring mode.
- Fixed engine not being affected by low power unless the voltage is low enough to turn it off completely (in practice meaning that there's not benefit to supplying the engine more than 50% of it's power consumption).
- Fixed characters getting healed between campaign rounds in single player.
- Fixed atan component output being inconsistent: the output was only correct if the y input was received after the x input during the same frame.
- Fixed crashing if a character's hands get severed while repairing something.
- Fixed stored non-shadow-casting lights being subtracted from the shadow-casting light count in the sub editor.
- Fixed autocalculated submarine price not being saved if the player doesn't touch the price field in the sub editor's save dialog.
- Fixed OnContained/OnNotContained StatusEffects not running if the itemcomponent is not active. In practice prevented oxygenite shards from supplying power until someone moves them. May have caused some other issues as well.
- Fixed console error when deconstruction Bufotoxin.
- Fixed reputation loss when "stealing" fire extinguishers from outposts when there's a fire.
- Fixed periscopes outputting rotation values incorrectly when connected to something else than a turret (e.g. camera).
- Fixed resetting game settings reloading content packages, causing items to disappear if the settings are reset when a round is running.
- Fixed pet's hunger/happiness values and inventories not getting saved between rounds.
- Fixed pet name tags disappearing client-side between rounds.
- Fixed empty oxygen tank not triggering the warning sound of a diving suit's oxygen supply.
- Fixed StatusEffects targeting "NearbyItems" only being able to target the Item instance, not the ItemComponents.
- Fixed "deceased" text wrapping in the health interface on small resolutions.
- Fixed open subinventories remaining visible on screen when using a railgun, coilgun or periscope.
- Fixed zoom getting stuck whenever exiting a railgun, coilgun or periscope and instantly hovering on an inventory slot.
- Fixed turret range upgrades not increasing the range of the turret's spotlight.
- Fixed all monsters spawned by the same monster event having the same sets of items.
- Fixed disconnected, hanging wires sometimes appearing at the wrong end of the wire.
- Fixed progress bar saying "welding" instead of "cutting" when cutting open a welded door.
- Fixed explosion damage to items not being diminished if there are obstacles between the explosion and the item.
- Fixes to flamer particles going through walls.
- Fixed items that are included in multiple categories (e.g. oxygen tanks, battery cells) not appearing in the sub editor's entity list unless using the search bar.
- Fixed psychosis sounds affecting all players.
- Fixed fabricators and deconstructors deteriorating even if they're not running.
- Fixed crashing when selecting a fabricator linked to a deconstructor or vice versa.
- Fixed "hide offensive server names" tickbox working the wrong way around in the server browser.
- Fixed console errors when setting an engine's max force to 0.
- Fixed in ability to damage huskified crew members if friendly fire is disabled.
- Fixed prototype steam cannon particles going through walls.
- Fixed "engineers are special" outpost event not giving XP when successfully helping the NPC.
- Fixed "propaganda" and "clown outbreak" outpost events not triggering.
- Fixed wires not appearing in some item assemblies placed in the sub editor until the sub is saved.
- Fixed decorative sprites being positioned incorrectly on mirrored items (such as pumps and fabricators).
- Fixed rotation limits being incorrect on turrets that have been mirrored before saving the sub.
- Fixed crashing when a bot is left to idle inside ruins.
- Fixed deconstructing an SMG magazine causing an SMG round to drop on the ground.
- Fixed empty SMG magazines not deconstructing to plastic.
- Fixed SMG magazines in character's inventories spawning SMG rounds at the start of a round (again).
- Fixed console errors in StatusEffect.GetPosition when applying a delayed status effect on a removed character.
- Fixed the latching behavior on Crawlers.
- Fixed latched creatures not releasing the sub when the submarine moves fast enough (defined in the latching behavior definition).
- Fixed outpost events sometimes triggering on dead/unconscious players.
- Fixed wifi component accepting input from chat regardless of the "link to chat" setting (the setting only determined if the component outputs the messages to the chat of the player holding the item, making it only useful for headsets).
- Fixed an issue that caused freezes when opening the server browser.
- Fixed "there is not enough room in the input inventory" error when placing a legacy medical fabricator in the sub editor.
- Fixed picking up a captain's pipe selecting it, preventing aiming until the item is deselected.
- Fixed hitscan projectiles briefly dropping out of the weapon client-side when fired.
- Fixed inability to play the campaign from the same local network when hosting with the dedicated server.
- Fixed crashing when clicking "spectate" in the server lobby after connection has been lost.
- Fixed occasional "too much data in network event" error messages.
- Fixed clients assigning different initial location reputations than the server, causing the round summary to display random reputation loss/gain when leaving the first outpost.
- Fixed "No AI Target" property not working properly.
- Fixed a rare crash when crawlers latch to a submarine.
- Fixed the vanilla submarines not always having any wrenches, which causes the bots not being able to fix mechanical items if they don't have a wrench in their inventory. Also made sure that all engineers have a wrench when they spawn.
- Fixed recovering and repairing a shuttle not removing the wall damage client-side.
- Fixed crashing when a hull smaller than 16x16px is painted or becomes dirty.
- Fixed characters not being visible when viewing an area far away from the player with a drone in multiplayer.

Ahoy!

The last Barotrauma update of the year, Uncharted Depths, is coming next week. It will feature a complete environment overhaul, new missions and new monsters that all add to the sense of progression and greater variety that we’ve been working towards this whole year. Here’s what you’ll find in it:

New environments. From caves to level generation improvements and new environment art, there are big changes on the horizon. Read more about the environment overhaul in this earlier post!

New missions. In the next update, you get to go clear out a cave, scout for mineral deposits and repair and activate beacon stations to guide civilization further down into Europa’s ocean. Let us know which new mission you like the best! We’ll continue adding more mission variety with following updates.

New monsters. We’re adding two new enemies with completely new behaviors. First, say hello to Europa’s first enemy with a ranged attack: the spineling shoots armor-piercing spikes that can impale both you and your submarine. And then, the ballast flora that we’ve been working on for so long is finally here, ready to infest your sub’s electrical grid – enjoy.

Read more about the update on our blog, and stay tuned for its release next week!

Hello captains, clowns and submariners of all kinds!

Steam Awards are once more being bestowed on games soon and you can now nominate Barotrauma for an award.

We've chosen the Labor of Love category, made for games that have been out for a while and continue to be worked on – as we're closing in on the fourth big update this year, we thought this category sounded like us. We hope more than anything that you've enjoyed the direction we've developed Barotrauma in, and that you'll continue to enjoy our future updates. If you'd like to nominate us for this award as well, we'd be doubly happy.

Best wishes from our team, and many honks!

Hello everyone!

The end of the year is getting closer, and so is our next update. It’s all about the world outside your submarine – from level generation to new environment art, many things are getting more variety and polish. Read a bit more below and check out this blog post on our website for more details!

Explore caves: This update adds caves that are too small to fit a submarine into, so you’ll have to go out for a swim to see what awaits inside. They come in many shapes and styles, and we’ll be adding even more in the future!

Navigate more complex maps: Level generation has been improved in many ways, and in the next update, you’ll see branching paths, obstacles that you’ll have to destroy or go around to reach your destination, and multiple possible paths through a level.

Discover new areas: The environment itself has been overhauled and now consists of five areas, or biomes, that are distinct in appearance, environmental hazards and enemies. From the icy Cold Caverns through the temperate Europan Ridge and the mushroom gardens of the Aphotic Plateau, be ready for the crushing depths of the Great Sea and the fiery views of the Hydrothermal Wastes! We’ll see you on the other side.

Related to these new environments, the update will add a couple of new mission types, and there will be new enemies as well. Find out more about those when we release the update – in the first half of December.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

To celebrate the spooky season, we’ve just released a game update and a DLC update for Barotrauma. Read on to find out more!



This update brings a selection of creepy creatures, with a few other additions and improvements. Here are the highlights, and you’ll find the full changelog at the end of this post.

• Remade watcher, an old legacy creature born anew. While suitably spooky for Halloween, this one is a permanent addition. Avoid eye contact!
  
• Pets. Did you already try your hand at the downtime activities that the previous update added? Taking care of your onboard pet is the next level of “things to keep you busy when it’s not too busy”. Enjoy!
  
• As a temporary bonus, the pets come in Halloween costumes, and there is one pet that is Halloween-only. Can you guess which one?
  
• Undo/redo for the submarine editor – for many, this is probably the real treat in the update, and we’re very happy to finally have this functionality!
  
• Server browser profanity filter. Tired of bad words in server names? You can now choose not to see those servers at all, and customize your list of unwanted words.
  
• AI gets new skills: bots can now be ordered to put items back into cabinets.
  
• New lights and animations to indicate device states, such as when a pump or a fabricator is running.
  
• Several new sounds and music tracks.

As always, be sure to update your game to the latest version to be able to host and join multiplayer servers!



The Barotrauma Supporter Pack has been updated: there is a brand new volume of “The Europan” newspaper now available! We’ve also updated the soundtrack included in the DLC, and there are a couple of new wallpapers too. Which one do you like best?



For some extra Halloween textures, don’t forget the Trick or Trauma mod that we made for Halloween last year! It’s still available on Barotrauma’s Steam workshop and compatible with the most recent version of the game.



We wish you all a peaceful Hallowtide!

- Changes to the Tigertherthresher's main collider that should improve the overall movement.
- Option to make particle emitters modify the color of the particles.
- Set a limit to how many bots you can hire in the campaign (currently 16).

- Pumps and relays placed in the sub editor are on by default.
- Added sounds for the nausea affliction.
- Nausea now inflicts a minor stun and internal damage when the character throws up.
- Monsters now stop fleeing after a while, if they are not being chased and can't perceive the target anymore.

- Don't draw turret range indicators in the sub editor when the turret isn't selected.
- Adjusted Hammerhead's posture.
- Minor adjustments to Mudraptor's animations.

- Added some unarmored mudraptors to low-difficulty levels.

Modding improvements:
- Added Scale and Offset to Light Sprite's parameters.
- Fixed the Constant Torque parameter not working right.
- Allow to enable/disable tail angles per limb. Previously the angle was only applied to the first limb of type Tail.
- Added per limb multipliers for sine animations (fish tail movement).
- Exposed the fleeing and avoiding times on the monster AI parameters.
- The Light Sources on characters can now be defined with conditionals.
- Added HealthMultiplier parameter that can be used in StatusEffects like SpeedMultiplier.

Character Editor improvements:

- Reworked the contextual "Wait" order: the order now targets a position instead of an entity.
- Bots are now allowed to more things even they are not inside the player sub. For example they can be told to extinguish fires in the outpost or rescue crew members inside a wreck (when they are at the same place). WIP.
- Bots now try to put oxygen tanks to oxygen tank containers, before the oxygen generator or supplycab.
- Bots now re-equip hats, helmets, and other clothing that they have unequipped for being able to wear diving gear.
- Bots now use the underwater scooter when they have one in the inventory.
- Bots should now be slightly smarter when putting off fires.
- Bots don't anymore retaliate if they are being shot while there is an enemy around.
- Fixed a number of cases where bots would get stuck or fail to fix a leak.
- Fixed bots with steering order targeting the shuttle nav terminal instead of the main nav terminal.
- Fixed NPCs getting aggroed by certain drugs (e.g. anaparalyzant).
- Fixed bots not prioritizing the wall mounts for containing the extinguishers.
- Fixed monsters targeting inner doors when they shouldn't.
- Fixed outpost guards attacking the player for defending themselves against the aggressors on the event "mediator".
- Fixed NPCs not reacting when the player is attacked.
- Fixed AI considering characters on the opposing combat mission team as friendly.
- Fixed some steering issues where bots would return to the last waypoint instead of continuing with their current path when they should.
- Test changing the assignment logic for maintenance/operate orders: if the player doesn't specify the target character, use the bot who already is following the same order. The intention is to make it easier to change the target item of the order. The draw back is that ordering multiple bots to man the turrets now requires an extra step: specify the target character.

Misc fixes:
- Fixed clients always getting the generic "could not connect" error message when connecting to a server fails, even if there's a specific reason to the connection failing (e.g. disallowed symbols in the player's name, mismatching content packages or game version).
- Fixed yet another cause for "missing entity" errors. Occasionally happened in monster missions when a monster happened to get assigned the same ID as an item in a player's inventory.
- Fixed clients spawning a respawn shuttle in non-campaign missions even if the server has disabled respawning, leading to "missing entity" errors.
- Fixed planters dropping removed seeds after a save is reloaded.
- Fixed plants not updating the health after being fully grown in multiplayer.
- Fixed decal syncing working unreliably in multiplayer.
- Fixed "level doesn't match" errors after leaving a shuttle/drone behind in the multiplayer campaign.
- Fixed painted/dirty walls going to full opacity when transitioning to a new level in the campaign.
- Fixed crashing when trying to render a light whose range is less than 1 pixel.
- Fixed crashing when using a repair tool causes an explosion (e.g. when killing a terminal cell with a plasma cutter).
- Mudraptor: Adjusted and fixed the animations.
- Fixed irrelevant damage modifiers (like bleeding) affecting the damageemitter's particles. In practice, this caused damagemodifiers with bleeding modifier 0 not spawn any particle effects when the limb was hit.
- Fixed extinguish fires not working with extinguish fire orders if the room has not enough oxygen.
- Fixed the user set state of the crew list not being respected; autohiding/showing shouldn't change the state set by the player.
- Fixed significant lag spikes at outposts with many NPCs. Caused by too frequent pathfinding calls, when an NPC can't find a path to the target.
- Fixed AIState.Protect throwing exceptions when an attacker has been removed.
- Fixed status effects targeting nearby characters/items failing to launch, unless they used the "Active" effect type.
- Fixed crashing when trying to crouch while swimming in the character editor.
- Fixed pause menu being togglable during level transitions, causing errors if quitting the game during a transition.
- Fixed wire disappearing from the character's inventory and from the walls when getting shocked from attaching the 2nd end of a wire in multiplayer.
- Kastrull: Fixed the airlock waypoints not being linked to the doors, causing the bots not being able to operate them.
- Fixed airlock warning light in Kastrull not turning off when the airlock door is closed.
- Made plants non-combineable.
- Fixed random submarine selection setting for servers occasionally selecting non-submarines.
- Fixed dedicated servers still showing up as "playstyle-less" in the server browser.
- Fixed sounds defined in affliction status effects not working.
- Require at least 1 kick vote before kicking someone, no matter how low KickVoteRequiredRatio is set to.
- Fixed gaps being misplaced on certain wall structures, preventing certain walls from leaking in some subs (for example the wall above Typhon's junction compartment).
- Fixed "Select Matching Items" crashing in the editor when used with submarines with a linked submarine.
- Fixed hull above Kastrull's drone not being connected to the rest of the hulls, preventing oxygen from flowing between the drone and the sub when docked.
- Fixed junction boxes' signal connections passing power/load information.
- Fixed crash when trying to clone a linked sub that you don't have the submarine file for in the sub editor.
- Fixed incorrectly scaled items in the diving gear cabinet/locker assemblies.
- Fixed inability to sell faraday artifacts when the condition of the artifact is 0.
- Fixed monsters not fleeing if the attacker is a bot.
- Fixed OnImpact statuseffects not launching if the impact was negative (e.g. when a moving sub hits an item that's below the sub).
- OnDamaged status effects now launch only when there's any damage. Not when the damage is zero.
- Fixed health bar pulsating even when no damage is done by an attack/status effect.
- Fixed affliction probability not having any effect when used in status effects.
- Fixed event intensity going down immediately when the situation gets less intense instead of gradually returning to normal. Should make it happen less that more monsters are spawned soon after the player survives the previous wave of monsters.
- Fixed EventManager crashing if there are no event sets configured for the current location type (only affected mods that add new location types without adding any events for them).
- Fixed items held in the left hand being drawn in front of the characters.
- Fixed ability to drag and drop items into outpost reactors.
- Set terminal's maximum message length to match maximum chat message length (otherwise chat-linked terminals work differently in multiplayer).

Hello everyone!

Now that we've settled back into business as usual, it’s time to take a look ahead – and behind.

Next up in Barotrauma's development is a Halloween update, a compactly sized content update. You should expect to see it pretty soon, and we'll write more about it once it's out!

After that, we plot a course toward...

We've got one more big content update planned for this year, and it's going to include some highly wishlisted additions, including but not limited to the environment overhaul, ballast flora and new mission types. This update will round off the major developments we've made this year, with the Rusted Remnants and New Frontiers updates, to bring diversity, content, and a real sense of progression to Barotrauma. We're excited to be delivering this "part 3" content update before the year is out, and we hope you'll like it too!

Tomorrow marks five years since our first playable build. Back then, Barotrauma was a solo developer's hobby project with a different name, and if you'd like to see what that looked like for yourself, you can do that now on our blog. (We think you'll agree that we've come a long way since then, but you can probably still tell it's the same game!)

We're proud to be five already and happy to have so many of you following our progress – stay tuned for more news about the coming updates!

Hello everyone!

We’ve now released a minor update to address issues in the New Frontiers update and to bring new downtime activities to Europan submariners – some purely optional fun and games to balance the darkness of the ocean (and to keep idle hands from messing with the boat’s wires unnecessarily), and perhaps to yield some moderate rewards, too.

For now, the new activities we’ve added are limited to gardening and cleaning, but if these prove a hit, there are more planned! So let us know what you think – are you enjoying the fruits of your labor? What activities would you most like to see added in the future?

Find a quick summary of the most important changes below and be sure to update your game to the latest version to be able to host and join multiplayer games. Scroll further down for the full changelog.

• Gardening and cleaning. Bored? The plants need watering and the sub isn’t going to clean itself, so get to work!
  
• New submarine, the heavy transportation ship R-29 designed by "Rav2n". At a long last, we’re ready to add the winner of the Big Rig design competition to the game!
  
• Headset channel switching. Now you can dedicate different channels to different purposes.
  
• Mudraptor overhaul – Europa’s meanest biped gets improved looks, added armor and new attack variations.
  
• Fixed bots, upgrades and subs disappearing in the campaign after dying or quitting the round immediately after purchasing them.
  
• Fixed a wide variety of networking errors, like “index out of bounds”, or “missing entity”.
  
• Several other fixes and improvements; more details in the changelog below.

We wish you smooth sailing!


v0.10.5.0

Changes and additions:
- Added gardening: four different growable plants that produce specialized fruits which can be crafted into different items, or just thrown about and splattered on the hulls of the sub.
- Added cleaning: decals are now persistent and water gradually dirties up the submarine's walls. The dirt and the decals can be cleaned with a special tool that can also be used to paint the walls.
- New submarine, the heavy transportation ship R-29. Original design by "Rav2n".
- Overhauled mudraptor: new sprites, more varied attacks and heavier armor.
- Option to change the channel on the headset, making it possible to do things like secret communication on another channel or devices that react to commands sent on a specific channel.
- Added a verification prompt when trying to handcuff yourself.
- The inventory of handcuffed players isn't hidden completely, just locked (with a tooltip that explains why it's locked). Hiding the inventory was confusing to many new players, and it was easy to mistake it for a bug.
- Added directional markers that show the locations of the interactable NPCs in outposts.
- User's helm skill affects engine output.
- The game is paused when the campaign map is open in the single player campaign.
- The campaign map is automatically closed if the submarine gets too far from the end of the level while the map is open in multiplayer.
- Clients are allowed to view the campaign map even if they don't have the permissions to select the destination or the mission.
- The docking confirmation prompt is only shown when attempting to redock to the outpost you just left from.
- Wrecks are now properly initialized when spawned with "spawnsub" console command.
- Readjusted the attacks for the Husk and the Humanhusk.
- Added the option to select the minimum number of players required on the server for traitors to become active to the server settings menu.
- Log when clients modify the properties of an item (e.g. light colors, signal component settings).
- Allow selling items as long as their condition is over 90%.
- ID cards can be sold (as long as they're not in the player's own ID card slot).
- Disallowed selling items in equipment slots.
- Added cancel button to the "reconnecting to server" message box.
- DockingPort, Turret and LightComponent toggle connections ignore 0 signals.
- Traitor victims get a message saying they were killed by a traitor.
- Stack chat message popups when the chatbox is hidden instead of just showing one at a time.
- Switches now have lights that indicate whether they're on or off.
- Added "fuel_out" output to reactors.
- Added "set_light" connection to turrets.
- Made stun gun darts craftable from any type of wire.
- Outpost generator uses the first module type defined in the outpost config as the 1st module instead of forcing it to "airlock" (making it possible for modders to create outposts with another type of entrance module).
- Mission rounds end automatically if there are more living players inside the outpost than outside it, even if the sub is not at the end of the level.
- Made togglehud command usable in the sub editor for nicer screenshots.
- Characters don't gain helm skill when the sub isn't moving. Prevents grinding the helm skill when the sub is docked or maintaining position.
- Improved the way solid obstacles reduce explosion damage. Non-broken doors and walls nullify the damage almost completely.
- Fabricator continues fabricating when transitioning to a new level while it's running.
- Hid movement orders from the contextual command interface when there are orders of another type available.
- Made improvements to store interface tooltips. They now include the item name and should be displayed more consistently.
- Disabled automatic crew list sorting. The order now remains the same throughout the round.
- Added a second previous order icon to the crew list.
- Added character godmode, renamed mainsub godmode command to 'godmode_mainsub'.
- Increased sub editor auto save slots from one to 8 by default.
- Made logbooks sellable.
- Equipping a weapon activates it's reload time (capped to a maximum of 1 second), preventing bypassing the reload times by swapping between multiple weapons.
- Hide campaign NPC icon when the NPC is dead or incapacitated.
- Bots now prioritize stunning melee weapons based on their damage if they run out of battery.
- Made antidotes cheaper and easier to fabricate.
- Location reputations are shown when overing the cursor over a location in the campaign map screen.

Modding improvements and fixes:
- The order of all installed mods (not just the enabled ones) is now saved into the config file.
- Workshop mods can now be downloaded and installed automatically before joining a modded server.
- Disabled the Executable content type due to issues with cross-platform support.
- Fixed Unsubscribe button sometimes failing to delete mod content.
- Fixed a crash when attempting to modify the currently selected core package when other core packages aren't available.
- Fixed a modding-related crash at startup.
- Increased the "SeverLimbsProbability" cap (for items) from 1 to 10. The value is multiplied together with the joint setting "SeveranceProbabilityModifier", and limiting the value to 1 makes it impossible to boost the probability of some weapons/attacks.
- Fixed negative rotation speeds not working on decorative sprites.
- Fixed ItemPrefabs loading after AfflictionPrefabs.
- Previous enabled mods are restored when leaving a server.
- Added support for "periodic effects" (effects that execute every x seconds) to Afflictions. See the new "nausea" affliction for a usage example.

AI improvements:
- Using the fire extinguisher when there is a fire is no longer considered stealing by the NPCs.
- NPCs now spawn an oxygen tank if they can't find any. They don't spawn diving gear though.
- NPC guards now spawn more handcuffs if they don't have any and are trying to arrest a target.
- NPCs now spawn a welding fuel tank, if they can't find any. They don't spawn welding tools.
- Some adjustments to the logic on when a diving gear is required and when it's not.

- Bots should now avoid idling in flooding hulls even when they have proper equipment.
- Medics don't anymore try to rescue targets that are fixing leaks.
- Medics now try to replace empty oxygen tanks for their targets before dragging them into safety. They should also take the suit off when it's not needed.
- Security officers and those who are ordered to fight intruders now actively seek new weapons if they have a poor weapon or run out of ammo.
- Bots don't try to move while grabbed by a friendly character.
- Bots now detect and ignore leaks that other bots are targeting.
- Bots don't anymore try to decontain diving suits when the path to the cabinets is flooding.
- All crew members now try to keep the reactor running, unless the player orders someone to shut if down or turns it off manually.
- Bots shouldn't anymore try to operate items that other bots are targeting (previously they used to walk next to the device and only then continue).
- Removed the following autonomous objectives from medic and the security officer: fix leaks, repair systems, and pump water.
- Bots should now give a high priority on items that they are currently repairing, no matter if the decision to repair that item was made by them or the player controlling the character.
- Bots that operate/fix should now wait a few seconds before heading on their business (previously only in idle state). They are not allowed to wait in some circumstances, like when they are underwater or when there's a threat around.

Bugfixes:
- Fixed items that are added outside hulls not getting saved in the sub editor.
- Fixed "missing entity" errors in multiplayer if the respawn shuttle despawns after its walls have started leaking.

- Fixed outpost events repeating more often than they should.
- Fixed dedicated servers always being public.

- Fixed Husks trying to target floors/ceilings.
- Fixed the security not reacting when being attacked by a friendly character with the husk stinger.
- Fixed the Husk infection not progressing properly in multiplayer (#3673.)

- Fixed creatures in the group "human" not being considered friendly, which prevented creating friendly non-human characters.
- Fixed bots not always prioritizing the selected (contextual) targets first when ordered.
- Fixed incorrect priority calculations for repair objectives that causes bots to make weird decisions on what to repair.
- Fixed latched monsters ignoring decoys. Also changed the latching logic a bit, which has some minor implications on the gameplay.

- Fixed bots insisting on equipping the diving suit before accessing Kastrull's drone.
- Fixed bots rapidly turning left and right when they are positioned between a wall and another bot in the idle state.
- Fixed one of the Thalamus spawn organs always dying because the hull was not flooding in Wreck1.
- Fixed bots failing to take account all the items in the inventory. Addresses cases where bots are confused because there are some empty/broken items and some full/functional items in their inventory.

- Fixed bots avoiding lethal pressure in some cases even when they have a diving suit.
- Fixed bots being unable to get the diving gear when some of the hulls in the path are flooding.
