[h2]Welcome![/h2]
We hope everything is going well for you and that you haven't caught any viruses!
We are preparing to introduce the virus mechanics for computers, so soon you’ll have a chance to catch one ːsteamfacepalmː. We’ve already prepared several new websites under this mechanic to mislead players. These websites will primarily come from emails.
[h2]Control Panel[/h2]
The control panel has already been added to the game, and one of its categories is fully operational. Specifically, we’re talking about the Network and Sharing Center. From now on, you can change IPv4 addressing on the computer, view active network cards, and check network data (if the computer is connected to a network).

We’ve also added the ability to track network data sent and received in KB, which is displayed in GB in the settings. This is only for troubleshooting network issues, as the data resets every time the connection is lost—just like in real life.

[h2]USB Ports on the Computer[/h2]
We’ve introduced the ability to insert appropriate devices into USB ports, including pendrives and disks. After inserting a disk or pendrive, corresponding folders will appear in the file explorer. Disk and pendrive names will eventually match specific device types, such as "Pendrive OScypek (E:/)." With this option, system installation will function correctly and will only be possible via pendrive. As for network-based system installation, we plan to add this feature later, for higher levels when players want to specialize.

[h2]Changes to the RACK Cabinet[/h2]
We’ve added the option to reset settings to factory defaults. Thanks to this, if players mess up something, they can completely break the network ːsteamhappyː. On a serious note, this option allows players to rebuild the network entirely from scratch. Of course, they’ll need to reconfigure the computer’s addressing, among other things, to make it all work again.
[h2]New Devices[/h2]
Access Points have been added to the game and can now be seen in three locations. They’ll be configured via a website (connecting through an IP address). APs can only be turned off by disconnecting the patch cord from the switch (PoE port). Connecting the device to a regular port will prevent the AP from starting. Another new device is the RCP, or work registration reader. This device has a screen where players can modify a few options, including the addressing. The RCP also operates on PoE ports. Its configuration is partly handled via a website and partly through on-device settings that can’t be changed remotely. Additionally, repair procedures for both devices will be included in the game, accessible on the computer. We also plan to add cameras and their configuration.

[h2]Picking Up Items[/h2]
We’ve implemented the ability to pick up items into the inventory. Currently, you can pick up patch cords, pendrives, and disks. In addition, several other items will become collectible. Besides this, we plan to introduce a mechanic for carrying items without adding them to the inventory. These will mostly be cosmetic items like food, sheets of paper, etc.

[h2]Inventory Changes[/h2]
We’ve made several improvements to the inventory and its functionality. First and foremost, every trash can in the game is now functional, and players can throw away unnecessary items. Items in the trash will disappear the next day.
