Infection Free Zone Patch Notes – June 6, 2024
- Gear System has been added to the game, including Sport Protector, Riot Gear and Plate Armor. Those will allow extra protection for your squad members.
- Two new types of POI have been added – Museums and Sports Shops where you can find the Gear.
- Emblem customization has been added. Now you can both change your zone’s name and its emblem. It’s also possible to upload custom images to the Infection Free Zone_Data\StreamingAssets\Emblem\Logo folder and use them as emblems in the game.
- A tree regrowth system has been added. The trees will grow back by themself now.
- Greenhouses have been added to the game. They cost 4 wood, 8 metal, and 1 tool to build, but are immune to negative modifiers from the weather.
- The Citizen Reproduction System has been added. When specific conditions are met (enough food, available housing, proper mood level), children will appear in the Zone. Children consume 50% as much as adults, use the house/shelter living slots, and take 12 in-game days to grow up.
- A resource discard feature has been added (right-click on the resource in your storage to discard the resources).
- Additional entrances have been added to the buildings to improve the overall scavenging experience.
- A new Megastorm and Supermoon music themes have been added.
- The Citizen Housing logic has been reworked. The citizens will now get back to sleep at the closest shelter/house, which should help with running outposts.
- The Building System has been improved to allow structures to be placed on gatherable objects. The workers will remove the gatherable object first and then proceed with the original task.
