The Forever Winter - Water System Updates

23 Dec, 2024

Hey scavs, the FDS team has released Water 2.0, maintaining the challenge but shifting focus to rewarding strategic planning. Players now have multiple opportunities to prevent loss of everything. Now available:

-Thief-Proof Vault: Store items and credits in a water pirate proof vault, thus preventing a water death from taking your hardest earned gear and credits. You will NEVER lose anything stored in this vault. The vault is automatically available to all players.
-Water Bots: Hire Water Bots to collect water for you when you are offline
-Base Defense: Increase base defenses with turrets in your innards

We will continue to evolve the system so it stays as in-world as possible. As such, we're adding these optional tools to support players as they navigate the horrors of the world. The team is constantly working on adding to as well as reinventing current game mechanics and are thankful for your constant feedback and support!

We know we have work to do and we are not backing down from the challenge. In 2025 the war continues> Happy holidays scavs!
Stay warm.

Hot-Fix 0.2.02 Release Notes 12/20/24

20 Dec, 2024

Hi scavs - Hotfix 0.2.02 is now live. Please see below for details.

-Fix for custom rig container being lost after extraction. (If your save existed before this hot fix, you should see a one-time gift of a large supply of rig customization containers the next time you enter the Innards from the main menu, after downloading the fix. This gift is only given if you have a pre hot fix save and will only be given once. Jeff Gregg couldn't..CONTAIN the rage that the rig customization bug must have cause. His sincerest apologies.)
-Fix for soft lock that can occur if player presses the "move to stash" button or "open boxes" button after returning from battle
-Fix for enemy dropped weaponry still showing their location marker after a player picks them up
-Fix for entry points in Frozen Swamp not unlocking based on faction score
