As developers, we’re constantly inspired by the resilience of our community, your feedback, and your stories of survival. Every line of code, every design tweak, and every bug fix is done with one goal in mind: making this world a better (and slightly less apocalyptic) place to explore. With [b]Patch v0.5.43[/b], we're proud to introduce a suite of updates that not only enhance the quality of life for our survivors but also aim to foster a more immersive and balanced experience. Here's what we've been working on to make your journey through the wasteland even better: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43308742/370edce93c9536532cd373866b4204235580c5bd.jpg[/img] [h2]What's New?[/h2] [h2]Safe Zones for Multiplayer[/h2] [list] [*][b]Safe Zones[/b] are here!
