Changes
New artwork for Fred.
Chapter 2
- Fixed Parker, Lyle, and Jillian conversations missing dialogue options for teenage characters who had already learned their parents were dead.
Chapter 13
- Fixed the player’s pet not appearing in the return-to-junkyard scene after the Kevin rescue mission.
Chapter 14
- Fixed Missy being incorrectly referred to as “he” during Allison’s paint-set gift scene when she was the only child in the group.
- Fixed an error in the leadership checks where having stronger relationships with group members and higher group loyalty was making it harder to take over leadership or be offered the second-in-command position.
Chapter 15
- Fixed a narrative continuity error in Chapter 15 where, during a hidden ambush on the Forest Rats, the target-selection text described the Rats reacting as if they had already spotted your group.
General
- Fixed the SKS Carbine failing to register correctly as a ranged weapon during combat.
- Fixed the DNA Sequencer not appearing in your inventory on the stats screen.
- Added the gas-mask entry to the gear section of the stat menu.
- Fixed Base Building skill bonuses not stacking correctly when multiple skilled workers were assigned to a construction project. Previously, assigning two or more skilled workers to a building task would count the bonus only once. Skilled workers now each contribute their full bonus independently.
- Fixed the CarbonLite Bow not being recognized as a ranged weapon after selecting it through the weapon menu.
- Fixed the Camera Security System consuming cameras twice — once when construction started and again when workers finished.
- Fixed an inconsistency in the Camera Security System where the build menu and stats screen listed a requirement of 3 cameras.
- Fixed the Perimeter Alarm appearing as a buildable option in the reinforcements menu even after it had already been constructed.
- Fixed being unable to build a second Vegetable Garden at the junkyard.
