Survivors!
Today, we released a Regular Update packed with new features, quality-of-life improvements, and a large number of fixes.
This update introduces new trading mechanics, enhanced electricity management, and UI refinements to improve your gameplay experience. Traders missions can be completed directly in the trading post UI now, and resource flow calculations have been improved. Electricity management sees major upgrades, including power poles that can now be built on streets and better visualization of the energy network. The camera system has been refined, with zooming via keyboard and smoother fixed-camera movements.
We’ve also addressed a variety of bugs across expeditions, buildings, vehicles, and UI elements, improving overall stability. Tweaks to settler behaviors, trade routes, and statistics ensure a smoother and more intuitive gameplay experience.
