Finding the cure
There is a now a way to cure the Zims and get fresh survivors!
There is a three step approach to each cure trial. After researching and building a mixer and a creature vat you will unlock the cure menu.
You first must capture and analyze a zim. After this you must then pick ingredients you want to use to test a potential cure. After creating a potential cure and loading it into the vat, you will get chances to cure the Zim inside! Be careful however as a wrong cure has the potential to spawn in a very strong zim out of your vat!
Zim changes
Animals can now contract ZTD!!
Zims will now attack nearby animals that they hear. If the animals survive the encounter they have a chance to also turn into a Zim.
Zims as well can now live during the day if they are inside a building. This also applies to Zim animals. Be careful with animal pens as you could very well have a horde waiting in your base!
Planning
You can now plan out things before you place them! Want to make sure a space near your base is kept free for a future building? Set down some planning!
Research balance
Research was way too easy in previous updates. Survivors could rapidly get science skill and research a late game research very quickly. This allowed people to get full research tree completion by day 14. We have significantly increased the time to research as well as reduced the amount of experience you get when researching.
