Patch #003 - Early Access - Fixes & Tweaks

Endzone - A World Apart - Assemble | Kizzle

Hey there survivors!

We know, we just shipped a new major patch yesterday, but there were a few more things we urgently wanted to be fixed or adjusted, so your gaming experience gets even better.

The changes are mainly some "Quality of Life"-changes that were either necessary or just some feedback from our dear community, we decided to implement.

Fixed an error in the TaskService when clicking “Build next” or “Repair next”.
Fixed radioactive rain not irradiating the environment.
Market no longer stocks weed as the Pub needs it in its inventory.
Scrap and wood can no longer be irradiated by the environment. This fixes the issue that tools, neckscarfs, etc. could be radioactive.
Expeditions, from which you can find a random field/plantation seed, will no longer spawn seeds that the player already owns.
Players can now try to get into the Endzone Story multiple times.
Expeditions now take the right equipment with them when they are sent to loot a resource deposit.
Swapping resources between the expedition and the location they are looting now works more reliable while swapping different amounts.
Fixed settler badges being displayed wrong sometimes.
Fixed stats not being displayed in production buildings.
Unique story expeditions are now only spawned once per map.

A Market will no longer “steal” resources from another Market.
Increased max. worker amount of Medical Facility: 1 -> 3.
If you are playing from a savegame, only newly built Medical Facilities will be affected.
Increased max. worker amount of Workshop: 1 -> 2.
If you are playing from a savegame, only newly built Workshops will be affected.
Changed threshold until settlers achieve a badge: 5 -> 4 seasons
Improved various tooltips for buildings and tasks.
Large Scrap Piles now provide more scrap and therefore need a Scrapyard to collect them.
There will now always be a rainy season after a drought season
There will now always be a rainy season after a no-rain season, if the upcoming season is not a drought.
Remastered and improved ingame music.
Settlers spawned by a story expedition now walk to the Expedition Station after "Loot & Return".

The Forester Lodge and its work mode: “Cut & Reforest” is currently unbalanced. Trees are cut down faster than the time it takes to replant and regrow them.
Settlers currently do not get the protection clothing with the best protection value but simply the one that is the closest.

We know that there are a few more things we need to address and we are listening to your feedback. We're trying to address all the important issues in a timely manner and make the game as a whole more understandable and fair. However, it is important to remember that Endzone - A World Apart is a survival game, so we have made it challenging with full intention.

Update #76 for more Stay-At-Home-Fun

Rainbow Reactor - grooviak

Hello Everyone,

times are a bit crazy with Coronavirus running rampant in many countries so many of us have to stay at home. For us as a small indie team from Finland and Germany, not much has changed on our game development, as we collaborate using the internet anyway. Still, it's kind of bad for us that we lost a bunch of paid jobs to the situation, but things could be much worse. At least now we have time to get to work on some deeper layers of the game – a lot of work has been done "under the hood" so the latest dowload is 789 MB, which is almost the size of the entire game.

A lot of this stuff is meant for future features and collaborations we're currently working on with some 3rd parties and we may not speak about those yet. Still, you can see a lot has changed as the game is much more physics-based now. VR games evolve in a breathtaking manner and after playing stuff like Boneworks or Half-Life: Alyx, it's clear that we needed some updated physics. You will notice that your hands collide with the reactor railings for example, and also the chroma balls of course - so you can stop them in their tracks just by holding your hand in the way, or if you feel adventurous, you could do volleyball-like serves and pitch those balls into the pool. We wouldn't advise it though, as the chroma balls are a bit too heavy for that ;-)

The biggest changes are meant to give you more rewards for playing while self-isolating. For the first time, all of the game's work shifts which you have not previously completed will be locked. By beating shifts, no matter in which game mode, the next higher one will be unlocked, along with its teleport points. Newly unlocked Museum Tour Stations are now indicated by a fancy, flashing beacon. And from tour point #6 onwards, you also unlock pedestals with new looks for Dottie, which swap out the actual in-game model. In addition to the colors that existed before, there are now to new ones to be discovered!

Also we added some new sounds to the game – the game's menu now has interface sound and if you press the button to make Dottie skip her line, she has new reaction sounds.

So check out these new features and if you like, tell your friends about the Steam Sale taking place at the moment where the game is 75% off :D

But most important of all – Stay Safe Everyone!

All the best from
The Rainbow Reactor Team

ps: if you experience any control issues, please make sure in the Steam VR overlay menu that you have the "official controller bindings from developers" activated by clicking on that little gear in the lower right corner of the SteamVR menu and then going to "Controller Bindings"
