Very excited to bring you guys this update out! So what's new and what's changed? If you don't want to go through the lengthy list of patch notes, here's some major keystone changes in the update:
More realistic vehicle engine sounds
If you haven't seen my YouTube video showcasing them, here's the link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtXkaRH82MEIt's basically my attempt to make vehicles sound a bit better compared to the built in ingame sound support for adding sounds to all the vehicles.
New VehiclesWith this update I've introduced 4 new vehicles adding more diversity in selecting your next apocalypse vehicle!
PhantomRivals Old Coupe in speed, can hold 2 passengers, but eats decent amount of fuel.
Old VanWith decent cargo space, room for one passenger, this is a nice medium cargo hauling beast of a vehicle, comes in lots of different and interesting color variations, good luck hunting the one you like!
Police CruiserThis will probably be my favorite vehicle, because I've been wanting a classic looking police vehicle to bring some nostalgia back from the old movies right into the game. Holds 4 people and has decent cargo storage with balanced fuel consumption.
AmbulanceYou can now finally roleplay a doctor of the apocalypse with this one, second seat, which is the first passenger seat puts the player actually in the vehicles gurney, on top of that it can hold up to 6 passengers, but it's pretty terrible at off-roading and doesn't hold as much cargo as the Van.
More storage!For a long time storage solutions in Undead Legacy were all over the place with no clear path of progression, which I tried to address with this new update introducing storage solutions for all tiers, including ones craftable in the backpack and with spacious ones made out of titanium!
More signs!Added a small collection of some monitor screens as editable signs.
Workbench Tier 2 and 3Following the footsteps for the long term goal of having at least 3 tiers for all workstations, two new tiers for it has been added.
New vehicle mod - Shock AbsorberAllows for motorized vehicles to carry more storage, stacks with Vehicle Cargo Extension Mod
Timed charges in radial menuUse timed charges precisely to open high security locks through radial menu! Traders should sell more of these in the new update as well.
POI gas_station_01 updated.Updated this POI with inspiration on how I changed it in A19 with some new tweaks to it.
BalancingI'm aware that Undead Legacy feels very grindy, so I've tried to address some of the issues brought up by the community and adjusted a lot of crafting recipes, their times, where things are crafted as well as loosened up restrictions on lockpicking tiers and at what level containers can be picked. Research Data costs on many Schematics, Blueprints and Recipes have been reduced as well as researching time for most of them.
Hope you will enjoy this update of Undead Legacy!Huge shoutout to all of my Patrons, You are amazing and allow me to do what I do, I appreciate Your support very much, Thank You!
