[h2]Hi there![/h2] I'm excited to release an update that adds a new area to the map and brings several quality of life features. [h3][Map] Outskirts[/h3] The Outskirts District is a new area west of the Residential District. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40663423/bb12136c1542472a91d0318314ef1b92cceb7d47.jpg[/img] Here you will find a burger restaurant, supermarket, ambulance and a military area. Have fun exploring and looting!

[*] Once they are cleared, you can access previously blocked off areas. [*] The salvage faster ability also increases the speed a survivor will clear objects. [/list] [h3][Quality of Life] Automated Actions[/h3] [list] [*] Survivors will automatically progress actions to completion when scavenging, salvaging, or clearing objects. [*] You can see that a survivor is automated as they have different action point icons. [*] You can cancel the automation by moving the survivor or by using equipment. [*] You will still see all regular camera events while automated, so for example, if a zombie gets too close, you can move away or attack it as you normally would. [*] This setting can be disabled in the options menu under 'Options => Game => Automate Survivor Actions' [*] In future updates, this will also be applied to healing in the Medical Bay and completing tasks in the Workshop. [/list] [h3]Patch Notes[/h3] [list] [*] [b][Audio][/b] Added sound effects to looting. [*] [b][Audio][/b] Added a new night-time music track 'Shadows and Dust' from Scott Buckley. [*] [b][Quality of Life][/b] The inventory menu will automatically open when a survivor has finished scavenging or salvaging a container and it is still their turn. [*] [b][Quality of Life][/b] Added a warning when loading saves which are potentially too old for the current version of the game. [*] [b][Balance][/b] Reduced the spawn rate of putrid zombies outside of the Putrid Den. (12% => 8%) [*] [b][Bug][/b] Fixed a bug where salvage faster would not apply its benefit in some cases. [*] [b][Bug][/b] Fixed a bug where multiple hazards of the same type could incorrectly be added to a unit in some cases.
