New & Improved
- Added voice line for starting Panic Attack
- Added Trap tutorial near the Rabbit Quest (Traps are single use at the moment. After it's used or broken by an animal you can loot it for extra resources but can not pick it up again. We are considering this to be changed in the future.)
Balance
We rebalanced the Weather System:
- There should no longer be situations where multiple weather areas overlap causing extreme drop in temperature in a small area.
For Story:
- Act 1 location ambient temperature is set to -10 (-8 for the first night),
- Act 2 locations are set to -13. Of course, different weathers add to ambient temperature,
- Cloudy weather can appear after the first night
- Snowy weather can appear after "The Survival Instinct" quest (Rabbit Hunting)
- Snowy and windy weather can appear after the "Hunting" quest (Deer Hunting Act 2)
- Blizzard weather can appear after picking up the lever from "Echoes of Sabotage II"
For Survival:
- Every area is set to -10 with all weathers possible from the start.
For Story and Survival:
- Area 3 (Mountain in Act 2) - always blizzard, and near the mountain, there is always snow
- Area 6 (Behind the Act 2 final gate) - Possible weather is snowy, snowy and windy or blizzard (temp. Story -13 for Endless -10)
- Shelter buff now gives an additional 5 cold protection (was 10)
- Cave buff now gives an additional 2 cold protection (was 6) but retains the coldness from the weather outside, so in net it will now usually be a bit colder in caves.
- Hot springs now give +10 to ambient temperature (was +15) and in addition, increase the wetness by +4
Campfire changes to ambient temperature:
- Basic campfire gives +8
- A proper campfire gives +10
- Platform campfire gives +13
- Long campfire gives +14
- Tepee campfire gives + 18
- Shelter campfires +13 (also campfires in hunters' and woodcutters' huts in Story)
Weather changes to ambient temperature and wetness:
- Clear weather is from 0 to -2 (was 0 to -1), for wetness it is -1 (was -2 to -4)
- Cloudy weather is from -2.5 to -3.5 (was -2 to -3), wetness 1
- Snowy weather is from -4 to -6 (was -3 to -4), wetness from 2 to 4
- Snowy and windy weather is from -5 to -7 (was -5 to -6), wetness from 4 to 6
- Blizzard stays -8, wetness 8
- Main heat multiplier increased by 20% (will be getting cold and warm 20% faster)
Story Specific:

- Added Bone Axe schematic to Hunting Book but removed it from the start of Act 2
