Hello everyone! The Rusted Remnants update is here. For a quick summary of what you're going to find in it, check this earlier news post, and see the full changelog below. Because of the networking changes in the update, servers on the old version of Barotrauma will be incompatible with clients on the new version and vice versa, so server hosts, please be sure to update your servers. Dont let the things inside the wrecks get you! v0.9.9.0 - Added wrecked submarines to levels. - Reimplemented carrier (now called Thalamus). - New submarine, Azimuth. - Miscellaneous performance optimizations. - Improvements to traitor missions (slightly simpler, with clearer instructions). - Reduced the skill requirements for mechanical repairs. - Reduced the damage when a mechanical repair fails. - Rebalanced mission rewards. - New water ambience sounds. - Speed up despawning when there are lots of bodies inside the sub, enemies despawn x2 faster. - Salvage missions can be completed by taking the artifact to the start outpost (the descriptions don't specify which outpost to return it to). - Characters with insufficient skills can fail at mechanical repairs, causing minor injuries. - Gaps that are inside a hull don't flood the sub, a warning icon is displayed on those gaps in the sub editor. - Added submarine test mode to the sub editor. - Moved the entity filter panel and "previously used" panel in the sub editor to the top left corner of the screen. - Pressing enter after modifying the value of a text field in the sub editor is no longer required. - "teleportsub" console command can be used to teleport the sub to the position of the cursor. - The engine vibrates and plays a loud sound when it's damaged to indicate more clearly that it needs repairs. - Added animated lights to alarm buzzers and sirens. - Sonar beacon's label can be edited in-game. - Assistants gain skills faster than other characters. - Skills increase faster during non-campaign rounds. - More noticeable particle effects on damaged devices. - Added "itemdamage" parameter to the explosion command. - Huskified characters turn to the final stage faster. - Using the "dumptofile" and "findentityids" commands doesn't require a permission from the server. - Added Scale and Color properties to DecorativeSprites. - Added OnDamaged status effect type. - Added lights that indicate the state of a docking port. - Significantly increased the item damages of all explosives. - Replaced the old husk stinger with tentacles (similar to Husked Crawler). - Minor adjustments to Husk, Human Husk, and Husked Crawler. - Modding: Added "probabilitymultiplier" attribute for damagemodifiers. Can be used to make items/armor affect the probability of getting an affliction. - Diving suits now give some protection against husk infections. - Light components can be set to flicker in the sub editor. - Fixed odd movements when pressing the ragdoll button while stunned. - Made it easier to interact with doors that are overlapping with a docking port/hatch. - Option to disable bot conversations in multiplayer in the server config file. Submarine editor improvements: - Removed character mode. All the functionality of the character mode is now supported in the default mode. - It's possible to modify the properties of multiple selected entities at the same time. - Autosaving (the submarine is automatically saved to a temporary file which can be recovered if the game crashes). - Added hotkeys for a bunch of actions (the hotkeys are visible in the tooltips). - Pressing F focuses the camera on the selected entities. - Control + A to select/deselect everything. - Hold shift to ignore the grid when placing / resizing. - The outlines of all wires are shown in wiring mode. - Orphaned wires are deleted automatically. - The content of the search box isn't reset when switching entity categories. - Mouse middle mouse dragging is now 1:1, previously the view moved too fast. - Linked submarines now have visuals when dragging. - Holding down arrow keys now continues to move the entity after a small delay. - Changing the background color by shift right clicking. Antigriefing improvements: - Players can be kicked/banned/muted/votekicked and their ranks changed by right clicking the name in the crew list or chat. - Karma penalty for stunning: gets progressively more severe the more stuns a player causes. - Stealing weapons or ID cards from stunned/unconscious characters reduces karma. - Added karma category to server log.

Command interface improvements: - Contextual commands: characters can be ordered to operate/repair/use specific items by holding shift while enabling the command interface. - Job icons are shown in the command interface to make it a little faster to differentiate between characters. - Added separate orders for repairing electrical and mechanical devices. VOIP improvements: - Added a keybind for local voice chat (= it's possible to only speak to players next to you without everyone within headset range hearing it). - Added an adjustable delay for cutting audio capture after the push-to-talk key has been released. - Fixed audio being suppressed when someone speaks even if VOIP volume is low or completely muted. Workshop improvements: - "Enabling" a mod through the ingame Workshop screen is no longer a thing; subscribing to a mod is all you need to do for the game to install it once it's downloaded. - Loading preview images and installing mods is done asynchronously (= no lag spikes). - Added notifications to the main menu to indicate when mods are being downloaded and have been installed. - Files are automatically added to the Workshop item publish menu as they're added to a to-be-published content package's directory.
