Plains of Pain

QoL Update v0.8.20.28We are not stopping.Just a few days after the Major Update, we are already bringing another quick patch based on the community feedback we have been gathering since release.This update focuses on several fixes, small improvements, and a couple of new quality of life features to make everyday gameplay smoother.Main Highlight Inventory LockingYou can now click the Lock icon on the right side of each inventory container to lock it.Locked inventories will be ignored when transferring all items or filtered items between containers.Looted items will also not be automatically placed into locked inventories.This gives you much better control over backpacks, belts, Deathproof Pockets, and other inventory containers.In upcoming updates, we also plan to expand this system with the ability to lock individual items inside inventories.Smarter Melee Survival BehaviorLowlifes and other melee units will now retreat from players or enemies who are actively firing loud firearms at them.This should make melee encounters feel more reactive and give these units a stronger sense of self preservation when facing heavy gunfire. Production System Update and a Small Settlements 2.0 Spoil

Major Update v0.8.20 Production Reworked, Relic Traders and New FoundationsThere is a point in development where an update stops being just a collection of new features and starts changing what future updates can become.For us, v0.8.20 is one of those updates.We have worked extremely hard over the past weeks to make this release rich in new content, but also to rebuild some of the systems underneath Plains of Pain so we can take much bigger steps soon.Some days were spent creating things you immediately see. New traders, items, weapons, characters, locations.Other days disappeared into worker logic, production queues, UI, world generation, loot tables, settlement resources, and all those invisible gears that make the wasteland actually work.Both matter.Because the world we want to build cannot just look alive.It needs to work like one.And this update brings us another big step closer.Plains of Pain: From Nothing to Power | Gameplay TrailerAbout This TrailerThis trailer follows one possible journey through Plains of Pain, from starting with almost nothing to building, trading, producing, travelling and eventually taking on some of the most dangerous threats in the wasteland.The game
