Hello!

If you’re interested in testing out this patch head on over to the Preview branch! You can gain access using the secret passcode “OPERATIONMAPLELEAF” in the Betas tab.

Additions:

• Added crafting level requirements:

  Level 1: Improvised Items

  Level 2: Metal Structures

  Level 3: Complex Buildables

• Added cooking level requirements:

  Level 1: Ingredients

  Level 2: Snack Meals

  Level 3: Formal Meals

• Added fire requirement to cooking. For now this means campfires.

• Added quality to food and water. Lower quality reduces the amount of food/water gained. Anything below 50% is unhealthy and causes sickness.
• Added ability to purify liquids with tablets under the repair tab.
• Added bread. (ID 460)
• Added tuna sandwich. (ID 461)

Improvements:

• Improved skills to only improve, not gating access to repair and healing others. [Right click on another player to heal them.]
• Improved skills death balance.
• Improved quality icons on small items.

Tweaks:

• Tweaked ingredient healthyness a bit lower.
• Tweaked snayperskya recoil a bit lower.

Fixes:

• Fixed flares in mechanic spawns.
• Fixed vaccine description length.
• Fixed a naming convention issue with stats.
• Fixed crafted items to start with 100% quality.

Now that healing others is more open hopefully more people will see their silly animations. [Check them out!]

Next update you can expect more food crafting items such as milk and cheese, for right now a lot of recipes would not make sense.

Sorry about the lack of progress the last few days, with the release of GTA V on PC I got very sidetracked. On that note with the April roadmap I did not take into account my AP exams coming up very soon, so rather than a huge undertaking like overhauling the networking quite yet I’ll be focusing on more features such as hunting and fishing!

Thanks for reading!
