Hi there, We've just rolled out a small update to fix an issue with the cooks, which sometimes could lead to a starvation of the entire bunker. A big thanks to Sophie for submitting the bug! Devs

Hey all, We've released a small patch today to address one very frustrating bug. Sometimes the HUD in the top left corner could show you the number of power/water consumption which wasn't pretty accurate. You might think that you have enough power/water to build something new, but in fact you have just a few spare units of electricity. So, this bug is fixed now and shouldn't cause any trouble, but if you find anything new please report it. By the way, we are trying to make a community hub on reddit to respond more swiftly to the comments, bug reports and share new stuff. You can sub here https://www.reddit.com/r/FLOX/ Cheers, Alex (satori4)

Hi there, It took a bit longer that expected but the localisations have been finished now. Huge thanks to everyone for the help. The bug with ageing has been fixed too. The update was released in the beta branch. If everything is OK, we will transfer it into the main branch in a few days. Thank you, Devs

Hi there, Despite that some people might think that the game is abandoned we keep reading your comments and make improvements where it's possible. We've uploaded a small update to the beta branch. In this patch you can disable the population cap and ageing in the sandbox mod. You can also kill any resident you like for example to make room for a new batch. But please be mindful creating large populations may slow the game. There is no exact number after which you might notice that, as it hugely depends on your hardware, but if you start noticing some sluggishness try to reduce the population. If you play the game in German, Spanish or Italian localisation the new options has not been translated from English yet. But it will be done soon. There have been several comments that some structures do not get power or water even though you have plenty of both and everything seems to be connected. If you have a save with this bug please send it to us. Thank you, Devs

Hi guys and gals As we promised, today the update from beta is going into the default branch and will be available for everyone. If you have the auto-update turned off, don’t forget to update the game manually. We have fixed a few serious bugs and if you missed the last update, here is the full changelog: -Changes in the UI (resources counters) -Ore and buildings materials will be dropped on the floor upon disassembling a storage container -New, cool music tracks -Camera controls in the UI
-Hotkeys for the layers ( ground, power, water) -Water and Power counters are shown on the panel with the layers ( easier to track power/water production) -Hotkeys for the game speed buttons -Objects in the Fundamental structures have been grouped together
-Icon of the broken object is now flashing red -Main menu has changed, it now has three modes (tutorial, scenarios, sandbox) -Sandbox mode with an option to opt out building materials and ore -More accurate adjustment of the events ( disease outbreaks, breakages) -Option to turn off the caverns generation -Destructible walls -Engineers can repair damaged walls -Guard bot ( a special unit which can be controlled directly)
-Costs of the researches have been rebalanced -Frequency of the random events has been reduced -Molemen can attack and destroy walls and other structures -No resources penalty for dismantling the structures. You get 100% building materials back -New structure - Big Water Pump
-New enemy - Fat Slug
-Ability to opt out the types of notification you don’t want to receive while playing -Enemies will switch on the entity who deals the damage -Sandbox mode will always have the basic layout with the most essential structures -Decorative flowers -The recycler has now the option to recycle the wastes into building materials -Ability to empty the storage/waste containers and fridges, all resources will be dropped on the floor
-Profession specialisations - you can specify and prioritize certain tasks for each profession. For example, you can opt certain workers to dig only the ground or build fundamental structures like floors and walls. -You can directly move residents. You cannot however give them an order to perform a certain task, but they will walk where you tell them to. It’s very handy if you need to bring a resident back to the bunker or save her from a moleman. -Decorative floor tiles
-Performance improvement -Re-balancing ( some of the objects have become cheaper, especially reactors and water pumps) If you liked the music in Life in Bunker, you can now buy it from steam just for 1.99$. http://store.steampowered.com//app/436460 Have a great weekend! Devs

Hey all, It’s been a month since LiB was released on Steam, and we’d like to thank everyone for playing our game. I know, it may seem a little quiet, but it’s because we are deeply burrowed in work. Instead of making small patches and release them frequently, it's been decided to focus on one big patch. Obviously it will take longer, but on the other hand it will help us focus on the game as a whole, rather then just constantly tweaking separates parts. Here is a quick update on the progress that has been already made: -Changes in the UI (resources counters)
-Ore and buildings materials will be dropped on the floor upon disassembling a storage container -New music tracks -Camera controls in the UI -Hotkeys for the layers ( ground, power, water) -Water and Power counters are shown on the panel with the layers ( easier to track power/water production)
-Hotkeys for the game speed buttons -Objects in the Fundamental structures have been grouped together -Icon of the broken object is now flashing red -Main menu has changed, it now has three modes (tutorial, scenarios, sandbox) -Sandbox mode with an option to opt out building materials and ore -More accurate adjustment of the events ( disease outbreaks, breakages) -Option to turn off the caverns generation -Destructible walls
-Engineers can repair damaged walls -Guard bot ( a special unit which can be controlled directly) -Costs of the researches have been re-balanced -Frequency of the random events has been reduced -Molemen can attack and destroy walls and other structures -No resources penalty for dismantling the structures. You get 100% building materials back -New structure - Big Water Pump
-New enemy - Fat Slug
-Better overall performance -Ability to opt out the types of notification you don’t want to receive while playing -Enemies will switch on the entity who deals the damage -Sandbox mode will always have the basic layout with the most essential structures -Waste recycler slowly recycles garbage into the building materials -Decorative flowers
-Ability to empty storage containers, all resources will be dropped on the floor -more things are in work …
Thank you , Devs

Hi all, Thank you all for sharing your ideas and suggestions and they’re coming so quickly I barely can add them to the list. Who would be surprised looking at our mixed reviews?))) At first I wanted to make one big list and then discuss each idea separately, but today, discussing some of them with the programmer I realised, it would take a great deal of time and would not be super productive. Besides some of the ideas, despite being very cool, would be really hard to implement within the current game boundaries. So, to maximise the efficiency, I decided to post those ideas that we have talked through and are feasible from the technical point of view. 1) Sandbox mode = no cycle limits with an option to add infinite building materials 2) Scenarios - ala Experiments (I’ll make a separate forum for this one) 3)The Recycler must produce small quantities of the building material. (Either add as a research or make it a default thing from the start, must be discussed. ) 3) Destroying ground should give a small amount of ore. 1 ore per block. 4) Destructible walls - can be destroyed by the molemen. 5) Add more decorative/vanity objects 6) Add more achievements 7) Make new icons for some of the events notifications 8) Re-balance the cost of the upgrades 9)Automatically show pipes/cable when the corresponding layer is selected. 10)Rework some of the icons ( event notifications) 11)Make broken objects more apparent. 12) Add button “Empty Storage” to relocate the resources from one storage container/fridge to another. 13) Probably add some defensive objects against the molemen ( still in discussion) I’m going to post more as we go throw them. Today was a small patch that contains several fixes: -rift generation bug (FIXED) -residents conversation bug (FIXED) -residents' occasional freezes (FIXED) Thank you, Devs

Hey all, Want to thank everyone for playing the game, and providing your feedback and constructive criticism. The latter is most important because it shows where we've made mistakes and how the game can be improved. We are going to start working on a big patch on Monday. But for now I need a day to recover from my first mental brake down, never thought it's going to happen to me, but yesterday I had a fever and my body just shut down. I'm more or less fine now, but I'm afraid it can repeat, if I jump back to work right now. I'll start replying to the comments and emails tomorrow, I really hope for your understanding. Meanwhile, please keep posting your ideas and suggestions to the Suggestion thread. Cheers, Alex

Hey guys, A very quick update. We've made a new build to fix some tiny bugs. Don't forget to download it from Steam. The number of the build is 1192. Have a great weekend! Devs

HOOORAY!!!!! Life in Bunker just been released!!!!! Enjoy the game guys!!! If you have any issues or you found a bug, please drop us a line at info@floxstudios.com Cheers, Devs

HEY!!! Life in Bunker is going to be released just in a few hours!

Hi there, And again a new batch of changes: 1) you can attach a resident to a level, thus she will do the assigned tasks only on that selected level. 2) autosave ( disabled by default) 3) bug with highlighting (fixed) 4) several new animations for the residents 5) tiny fixes Thank you, Devs

Hello ladies and gents, The biggest change of this update is that we decided to allow to connect two and more Reactors/Water Pumps together. Obviously, it makes the game slightly easier, but on the other hand you'll have more freedom in planning and building your dream bunker. Besides it also has a positive effect on performance.

There also has been a number of small changes, like planning the floor on the tiles obstructed by the debris and rubbish. Corrected a few tiny typos in the English version. Did you know that we made some awesome avatars you can use in you steam profile? If not, you should check them out ;) http://steamcommunity.com/games/401690/Avatar/List Thank you, Devs
