POI Localization

• Merging highways between gateway tiles and township rural tiles has been added
  
• A new scoring system for prefab pick ordering, xml entries to help control overall placement, spawn weights, and min max counts ensure POI’s don’t repeat too often.

• Road smoothing has been greatly improved.
  
• A new street tile system that uses an overworld grid to allow for more concise placement of wilderness, towns, and highways.
  
• A “New Game” button has been added to the Advanced Generation screen to allow players to immediately play the map they have generated without having to remember the map name.
  

Chunk Reset System

Survival Rebalance

• To enhance the survival experience, water collection has been rebalanced by removing empty jars and cans.
  
• Boiled water now requires a cooking pot to craft in the campfire.
  
• Most “clean” water and drinks have been extremely lowered in loot.
  
• A new Dew Collector workstation has been added to provide clean drinking water.
  
  
  • Crafted in the player backpack, players will need to visit a trader to obtain a key component: a water filter.
    
  • Water is slowly accumulated over time at a rate of approximately 3 jars every 24 game hours.
    
  • Players can place multiple Dew Collectors
    
  • DewCollectors must have a clear view of the sky.
    
    
    • Bars and other “see-through” shapes are acceptable to be placed above.
  
  
• Drink Vending machines have had quantities increased including specialized drinks.
  
• Due to water used in crafting, glue has been increased in loot, quest rewards, and trader inventories.

Crafting Skills System

• Previously, players could max out a perk’s crafting quality unlock with primitive tools and weapons and then instantly craft higher tiers once the materials were found or unlocked. A good example of this would be a stone ax that could be crafted at quality 5, but then iron and steel pickaxes could be crafted at that same quality level.
  

• Players are no longer required to perk into various classes to obtain the unlocks. All crafting skills can be unlocked by all players.
  
• The unlocks are removed from perks, however, each level of a perk will give a probability boost to certain magazines. An example would be the perk Boomstick giving a boost to finding more of the Shotgun Weekly magazines. Boomstick will also boost shotguns, shotgun parts, and the various types of shotgun ammo found in loot.
  

Perk Overhaul

• Sexual Tyrannosaurus has been moved to each weapon perk. Players no longer have to perk into Strength to get the stamina benefits of ole Sexy T. Want better stamina with clubs? Put perk points into Pummel Pete and keep from getting winded too soon.
  

• Flurry of Blows has been moved into each Attribute as a new perk.
  
  
  • Perception: Quick and Perceptive – Increases the attack speed of spears
    
  • Strength: Big and Fast – Increases the attack speed of clubs and sledges
    
  • Fortitude: Lightning Hands – Increases the attack speed of fists and fist weapons
    
  • Agility: Whirlwind – Increases the attack speed of knives
    
  • Intellect: Calculated Attack – Increases the attack speed of batons
    
  
  

• Physician perk has gained the ability to treat sprains and give more XP when using healing items. Dismemberment gets a boost with batons on level 4 while level 5 has a chance to instantly kill the target with a stun baton.
  

• Master Chef allows players to cook faster with each level.
  
• Lock Picking moved to Intellect
  

• Grease Monkey grants the ability to use fewer repair kits when repairing vehicles
  
  
  • Zombies and animals are now killed nearly instantly when hit by a vehicle, but the vehicle takes more damage than previous versions.
    
  • Vehicles also take more damage when hitting objects or taking hard landings.

Performance & Optimizations

• Unity version update
  
• Window block optimizations
  
  
  • All Windows have been converted to shapes which are more performant.
    
  • Full windows downgrade to broken.
    
  • Broken and Empty windows upgrade to Full.
    
  • Only Full windows can upgrade material.
  
  
• Improved prop LOD transition values by adding LOD categories so similar props cross fade at the same distances. They also cull at more relevant distances which improves performance.
  
• Trees (adjustments to meshes and settings for better performance)
  
• AI can handle more zombies by throttling their activity based on distance to player
  
• AI pathing can handle many more paths per second
  
• Less memory use
  
• A variety of other small performance optimizations
  

Networking Improvements

• Greatly reduced network traffic
  
• Entities have variable update rate based on distance
  

Server Administration and Multiplayer

WebDashboard

• Normally you define API tokens in the serveradmin.xml or via the ‘webtokens’ command, but you can also define one API token on the command line with the ‘-webapitokenname=x’ and ‘-webapitokensecret=y’ arguments which will define a single token with permission level 0
  
• The API endpoint to issue commands is ‘/api/command’. The token name and secret need to be passed as HTTP headers ‘X-SDTD-API-TOKENNAME’ and ‘X-SDTD-API-SECRET’. The request needs to use the POST method and contain a JSON body consisting of ‘{“command”: “command to execute”}’
  

• ‘WebDashboardEnabled’ toggles the whole system on or off
  
• ‘WebDashboardPort’ specifies the TCP port to run the interface on
  
• ‘WebDashboardUrl’ should contain the full URL that points to the dashboard, e.g. to a reverse proxy forwarding to the internal dashboard, like ‘https://proxydomain:8000/’. If the server can be reached with its public IP directly this value can be left empty
  
• ‘EnableMapRendering’ decides whether the game renders the map tiles to corresponding images that can be seen on the Web Dashboard or used with other tools to get a full view of the discovered game map.
