V3.2.0 Stable

Heads-up, Survivors. You’ll be seeing more drops like this one - 3.1, 3.2, and beyond - coming your way more regularly.

We’ve built a dedicated team focused specifically on these smaller updates, with one goal in mind: delivering bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements more consistently between our major releases, alongside new cosmetic content.

Most importantly, this team is separate from the teams building our major releases. These updates aren’t taking resources or focus away from major development. Work on v4.0 continues in parallel and is moving along well, while this dedicated team focuses on improvements we can get into your hands sooner.

We know major versions take time to build right and don’t come around every week, so we want to keep delivering more improvements in the time between them. The open Trader doors and Combine Station UI rework are good examples of the kinds of improvements we want to deliver more regularly.

And we want you to help shape what comes next. Soon, we’ll be sending out a player survey where you’ll be able to tell us which quality-of-life improvements matter most to you. Make your voice heard - your feedback will directly help us prioritize what this team tackles next.

The goal is simple: more fixes, more quality-of-life improvements, more often.

And plenty more ahead.

Here's what changed since V3.1.0:

HONK HONK!!!

Trader doors can now be opened with your vehicle's horn. While all outer doors will react to them, not all of them will fit your vehicle! An onscreen text will let you know when you are close enough to interact with the trader's door by honking.

Better Combine Station Visuals

We have reworked the combine station UI to make it easier for players to see what their result will be and what the final stats it will have.

A plus will indicate that an item was combined in the combine station. Players will now have to hit a button to combine items.
