Okay.

Don't forget to use 7z or WinRar for unpacking (I guess any program will do the trick as long as it's not windows default)

This update brings a lot of new stuff (read Changelog in attachments or Discord Server) so here some useful info:

There is short guide on how to play in the menu that may answer some of your questions. The new tabs with info are highlighted. Outdated tabs could be useful too.

The amount and variety of quests at the bar depends on your Reputation.

At the beginning, you’ll mostly get easy quests and a boss hunt quest (which is not easy).

If it’s hard to find loot or there’s too little of it, you need to upgrade the skill in the Engineering skill tree - the one that gives +5% to loot amount (this is a lot, because it increases the chance of loot appearing). Also amount and rarity of loot scales with Infection level. Infection level gets higher with every day. The difficulty you can choose on your save slot increases the amount of infection gained per day.

After Infection Level 3, It might be more efficient to use bartering with the Dog, as that level of Infection means you’ll start finding higher quality loot, including more blueprints and grade parts. And with enough Reputation, you’ll be able to trade your rare loot for good rates with the Dog. Or you can use that loot to craft mechanisms and sell those too.

Locations refresh after you sleep, but this moves you to a new day and increases the infection level.

If the game becomes too difficult, or your infection level gets too high, you can reset the days by pressing “Reset Days” in the save slot.

Some things are still very raw, like the NPCs - they need more work, and I will continue improving them.

But right now the conditions don’t allow me to develop the game at my normal pace because of blackouts, so I’ll take some time to rest, and as soon as I get the opportunity, I’ll continue working.

The next update will be released this year, unless the blackouts get worse - unfortunately, they probably will. In that case I’m not sure if I’ll be able to release one more update before the year ends, but will see how it goes.
