Secondly I’m going to introduce a small amber cost when equipping/unequipping these slots. Firstly I’m going to remove the visual override slots from the character window and move them into a new wardrobe machine specific for this task. To fix this problem I’m going to try introducing some extra friction into the system. Unfortunately this effectively punishes the player if they use the slots to wear items they think look cool instead of choosing to carry whatever makes sense stat wise to carry as a secondary gear piece you can swap in and out. Whilst I’ve been pretty happy with the variety of different looks I’ve been seeing out in the world (no more ‘Ronald McDonald’ syndrome), the visual override slots are currently too easy to use for their storage value alone and offer the player too much gameplay advantage by allowing them to easily carry a second set of gear. I’ve also been looking into exploits that abuse the vehicle crash system and am aiming to have these fixed up for a hotfix patch with the other changes later this week.Fixed null reference exception in item ammo storage on player disconnect.

Made binary effect sync for proxies much more efficient in terms of network traffic.Ragdolls no longer block interaction LOS check (can pick up loot ‘through’ a creature’s corpse).Fixing weapon attachment tooltips so they show item category (so you can see what weapon to attach them to).This blog I’m not going to talk so much about what I’ve been doing but rather what kind of changes we are planning on for the next experimental release, most of these are goals rather than implementation details at this stage so don’t take anything as a concrete promise but rather an idea of the direction we are headed. With this core part of gameplay in a much better place I believe there is one other core system that needs a similar rework: vehicles. I’ve been really happy with how the temperature changes have been working out and we are now doing a much better job of both gating the player from blasting through all the content and also communicating what is happening through the thermometer UI. Since last blog I’ve been working on getting 0.5.6.0 released, working on bugfixes and polish for upcoming 0.5.6.x minor releases and planning our next 0.5.7.0 major experimental release.
