Hello everyone!
Summer is here, and our team will be taking some time off. While we are away from our desks and slower to respond for a few weeks, you can already begin sneak peeking at the next update in the Unstable test version.
A notable change coming in the next update has to do with item stack sizes and storage containers. As you may know, storage containers can be placed inside cabinets to amass huge numbers of items on board a submarine. This results in a poor user experience, because its hard to find the items you need using this storage method. The large item counts also hurt game balance and performance.
This is why we are going to remove storage containers from the game, but to compensate for the loss, well increase stack sizes for materials and meds stored inside cabinets. You can find more details about the upcoming storage changes on our blog.
We believe this change should make inventory management much better on the whole, and help with balance and performance issues at the same time, but we understand some of you may still view the storage cutback negatively. To make sure we hear from you and can still adjust these changes before their public release, you can now test them in the Unstable version and give us feedback over the summer!
Another part of the next update which is already available for testing is the first iteration of the new traitor mode. Well write more about the traitor system changes later in the summer, and the update is planned to be released in the autumn.
Stay tuned for more news later, and have a great summer!
