The Infected Patch Notes – October 23, 2021
AI Additions and Changes
The basic Vambies within the game have undergone another update/change in V11; you’ll find some of the larger changes coming with this patch located below in list format. However! Players should keep in mind that the tweaks to the AI should increase the difficulty of fighting Vambies in a significant fashion. Their new attack animations are quicker/more fluid and may provide a new level of difficulty to adjust to/learn. In addition they will now move/sway more, making a headshot less of a sure thing.
Also please note that their ranged ability to throw a knife has been disabled, as the animation is undergoing some tweaks/improvements.
- New AI Vambie models added.
- Various new AI animations.
- New group behavior system. (2 to 5 AI roaming the map together)
- New group attack patterns. (Varied engagement behaviors- dodging, taunting, attacking, etc)
New Construction Pieces
Some new basic construction shapes will be added.
- Wooden Corner Wall section.
- Brick Corner Wall section.
- Wooden Corner Wall Window section.
- Brick Corner Wall Window section.
- Wooden Corner Foundation.
- Cement Corner Foundation.
- Wooden Corner Ceiling.
- Cement Corner Ceiling.
- Wooden Corner Roof section.
Building UI Changes
The construction tab now has a few filters to make finding pieces easier!
Sign Post
A wooden sign that players can craft and write upon.
Recipe:
5 x Planks
4 x Sticks
3 x Rope
Weapon based Game Markers
Players have often expressed that they lose track of thrown spears and fallen arrows- there will now be a marker for each object on landing so that they can be more easily found and picked up.
New Hunger System
There’s been an overhaul to the food stat system.
Previously, when each stat was at 0, health would slowly drop. In this new system, the 4 food stats (Carbs, Proteins, Fats and Vitamins) will all contribute to a newHunger Bar.
- If your hunger bar is less than 10%, a player will slowly lose health.
- If your hunger bar is less than 75%, your max stamina will be reduced. (Min Stamina capped at 50)
Example: If your max stamina is 100 and your hunger bar is 62%, your new Stamina Max will be:
100 * 0.62 = 62
Other Additions and Changes
ADDED– Take all Button to the Brick Drying Crate.
CHANGE– 65% chance at obtaining seeds and sprouts from harvesting Veggies and fruits. (Previously 100%)
BUGFIX– Upgrading the wooden pillar to cement was changing the location of the pillar.
CHANGE– Food(s) will no longer increase max caps on proteins, carbs, fats and vitamins. (Due to the new hunger system, this has become unnecessary)
CHANGE– On character death, players will now lose 1 max health rather than 5.
