Survivalist: Invisible Strain

Hello, it's just another small patch in publicbeta. This is mainly to fix a crash when you try pickpocketing someone but your character is too moral or likes them too much to want to hurt them, which disables stuff like chokehold. But I didn't realise it was happening with pickpocketing, and the warning message caused a crash. There's also a fix for characters getting stuck in a loop finding wood to replenish a fire. And the Polish translation is getting close to being finished! Here's the full change list:Fix for mods with recipes that create liquid and containers not working unless you already have enough containers for the liquidFix for characters occasionally getting stuck in a loop getting wood to replenish a fire but then auto-depositing itSmall translation and text fixesCrash fixesUpdated Brazilian Portuguese, Polish and Russian translationsWhat's this publicbeta thing?v284 will be in the "publicbeta" branch on Steam for a while, before pushing it to the main game and to XBox.

Hello, just a small publicbeta update with a fix for an occasional crash if something gets deleted while you are repairing it, and a fix for the SIS Move Props mod, which it seems got broken by a change I made back in 2025.Also a tweak to how the Dark Past and Loyalty quests select a landmark for a meeting place, they've often been using vehicles along the roads which wasn't the original intention for those quests. They should prioritise "countryside props", i.e. crashed aircraft, weather or fire towers, log cabins and tanks, which tend to sit out in the open country and should mostly keep them away from towns. And in Story Mode they should mostly avoid the red and white strain areas.Here's the full list:Fix for crash when a building someone is repairing gets destroyed and then the game saved and reloadedFix for Dark Past and Loyalty quests often spawning the group you have to negotiate with near roads and towns (should be near props in open countryside)Fixes for SIS Move Props modFixes for dative and possessive functions for translatorsUpdated Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and Japanese translationsWhat's this publicbeta thing?v283 will be in the "

Hello everyone, got kind of a bigger patch for you today as I've added pickpocketing and TAA (Temporal Anti-aliasing). The TAA is on a checkbox in the Settings/Graphics menu, it makes the black outlines look a lot smoother and more stable. Unfortunately it can make some other things a bit blurry when in motion so it's off by default. I prefer it despite the blur but your mileage may vary.The motivation for adding pickpocketing was that one quest in Story Mode where you have to plant a necklace on someone - using choke hold felt overly difficult for an early game quest. I think it will also come in useful for the fetch quests where you have to get "the Doc's old labcoat" or something off someone. Maybe it'll make surviving the early stages a little easier as well.. hopefully not too easy but the consensus from new players still seems to be that the game is pretty difficult.You can use it by creeping up behind someone and selecting Pickpocket underneath Choke Hold. You'll see a bar in the middle of the inventory screen which shows their awareness of being pickpocketed - if it reaches the top you'll be discovered when transferring something (and

Hello I've released a new small patch in publicbeta, mainly because I discovered the last one broke a couple of important things.
