Build InDev 30 Unstable 2 Released


The corruption has arrived! InDev 30 Unstable 2 has been released. Like Unstable 1, this patch has massive sweeping changes to the fundamental balance of the entire game. Make sure to read over the change logs carefully!


Because the corruption system has made such a large impact on the game balance, I'm asking everyone to provide some feedback. Let me know what you think. Is it too hard, too easy, just right? If you want to go the extra mile, hop into custom mode and make up your own brand of what you think survival and nightmare mode should be, and share your settings!

You can report bugs over at the official website's Support and Bugs Forum, or on the Steam Discussion Board. :)

InDev 30 Unstable 2 Change Log

Corruption System

  • Now, the game will randomly corrupt your save files. The chance this happens increases the longer you survive, in an attempt to increase end game difficulty.

Better Corruption System

  • Due to overwhelming negative feedback, the game no longer will randomly corrupt your save files the longer you survive in an attempt to increase difficulty.
  • The entire spawn system has been completely replaced with the new corruption system. Now, a corrupted area will spawn on the map once you place your camp, slowly consuming the world around you.
  • A new mob has been added, the "Drone". Drones are mostly harmless, but will build corrupted buildings and maintain roads inside the corruption.
  • Monsters no longer spawn or attack during the day time. They now start attacking at dusk, ramp up at night, and return back to the corruption during the day.
  • A large majority of the monsters inside the corruption will despawn during the day. (Note: Boosted monsters never despawn.)
  • Monster spawn rates are now tied to how many days you have survived, the size of the corruption, and how many buildings are in the corruption.
  • Several new corrupted buildings have been added, including hostile towers inside the corruption that will fire on villagers and golems.
  • You can not cast spells inside the corruption.

Miscellaneous Changes

  • Doubled the length of a day.
  • All of the delivery and construction harvest AI branches have been reworked and rearranged to better manage resources and make sure buildings get completed in the correct priority order if the resources are available to do so.

  • There is now a 1 in 50 chance that a fire elemental will spawn when a meteor hits.

Optimizing and Big Fixes

  • Fixed a rare crash when a mob is harvesting a resource and it the tile decays before he completes his work.
  • Fixed crash when casting mend on walls that were completely blocked on all sides.
  • Fixed a minor bug that would make laborers leave the marketplace too quickly sometimes.
  • Fixed a crash when the delivery or selling AI would fail and try to repeat itself, sometimes returning incorrect values for the new assignment.
  • Fixed a minor shadow generation glitch on the construction phase of the rain catcher.
  • Fixed a few minor errors in the water artwork.
  • Fixed a bug where you could not hide the camp placement panel in sandbox.

InDev 30 Unstable 1 Change Log

Multi-Carry

  • All villagers can now hold between 3 and 8 resources at a time based on their strength. They will gain 1 additional resource per 100 strength, and always be able to carry a minimum of at least 3. This applies to labor golems as well.
