Hey survivors, We hope you're all enjoying Sheltered's newest scenario, Stasis! Following the release of the Stasis update, the team have been working on some bug and quality of life fixes for the game. We're pleased to say that the following changes are now in effect:

• Surrounded - The boss avatars sprites have been corrected in Surrounded.
• Surrounded - Fixed a crash that could happen at the end of combat when finishing a fight with a full inventory.
• Fixed an issue regarding hazmat suits not being removed correctly.
• Avatar sprites now updates correctly when you change your appearance with the wardrobe whilst wearing a hazmat suit.
• Items within the item bin will no longer duplicate.
• Stasis - The suits within the hazmat suit bay will now correctly save and load its stats.
• The item grid present within item transfer menus will now refresh correctly when altered.

New Game Mode – Stasis

Sheltered: Stasis - Objectives

New Features

• The planter now has a new added state - ‘Wilting’, before it dies.
• The planter can now use fertiliser to increase the yield of harvest.
• The planter can now be harvested at any time (so long as there is something to harvest)

• This also tells the player which equipment they’ll need to unlock a hidden item (Stasis AND Survival).

• There is a second tab on the clipboard panel. It shows the family stats and needs.

Locations with hidden items now show a question mark icon, which tells the player what they need to do to unlock the hidden items. The player can come back with appropriate equipment to unlock it.

• Other items harvested (leather) at that time will go into storage like normal

• -1 health will appear above their head as floating text

• We display ammo in the clip and ammo in party storage

• The item bin is a new addition to the main survival mode. It is a solution to a problem we’ve had with player’s having to lose items when they return, and their storage is full. Now, any excess items not added to the main storage are added to the item bin on the surface. When it contains items, the lid appears off. When it’s empty the lid is on. Items contained are essentially an extended storage for the player, but items are regularly taken by passing people on the surface. The more items in the bin, when the bin men arrive, the more items they take.

Bug Fixes

• Fix for missing child quest locking the game up when finding the child.
• Fix for gas masks not showing up on character sprites during encounters (if equipped).
• Fix for items going missing when an expedition returns if their inventory was full and they equipped a gas mask.
• Fix for crash sites re-spawning at the same location when completed.
• Characters permanently becoming sideways when deconstructing a bed that is being slept in.
• Glitch where a single frame of the climbing out of the hatch animation would disappear.
• Fix for weapons going missing when equipping them mid-expedition (using the map screen) if the player has full inventory and already has a weapon equipped.
• Fix for NPC's weapons not appearing at the feet of the character who dropped them when disarmed in combat.
• Hidden items should now work as expected when using a controller.
• Journal/ Family status panel full controller support added.
• Updated the planter’s hover-over text to have “plant condition” & “soil condition”
• Fixed an issue with the planter where un-fertilised seeds would give less food/seeds/plants on stage 3 than stage 2
• Fixed a bug where you wouldn’t be able to search a location which only had hidden items in it
• Other minor bug fixes and improvements

One Last Thing…

Hello Survivors, Thank you to everyone who has been playing and sharing their feedback with us in regards to the Sheltered: Stasis Beta! The team have been working hard taking on board your feedback.

Earth is no longer a home, you must reach out to the stars and find a new one…

Survivors, When Stasis arrives in a future update you'll emerge in a world you won't recognise, a world of even greater decay and ruin than you would of ever experienced in an original Sheltered play through. Nothing rebuilt - it just got worse. The Unicube team have had some fun reworking some of the distinct locations that you've encountered so far. The main design point around the reworks being "how would they appear years after the original game". Below you'll be able to see a few examples of some of the backgrounds you'll be encountering in Stasis, with plenty more to come...

Survivors, When Stasis arrives in a future update you'll emerge in a world you won't recognise, a world of even greater decay and ruin than you would of ever experienced in an original Sheltered play through. Nothing rebuilt - it just got worse. The Unicube team have had some fun reworking some of the distinct locations that you've encountered so far. The main design point around the reworks being "how would they appear years after the original game". Below you'll be able to see a few examples of some of the backgrounds you'll be encountering in Stasis, with plenty more to come...

The next update will now include shelter inhabitants entering a brief period of unconsciousness before they die. This state is reached when the character takes damage that would normally kill them, either from combat or illnesses. In order to revive the unconscious member before they slip away into the eternal abyss you will need a fully charged defibrillator ready to zap them back to life. The defibrillator can be unlocked by playing through the new surrounded game mode, so giving it a play through will be extremely beneficial as you can now avoid the death of your characters. Also there’s no need to worry about power being out as the defibrillator will hold its charge for a brief period, this is handy when you are in a sticky situation. For more updates follow our blog at: http://unicube.net/blog/

Hey Survivors, As you are aware Sheltered has a large array of items for you to scavenge and craft, which can lead to players having to memorise what specific items they should look for an expedition. This adds another unintentional layer of challenge when you know, you’re trying to keep everyone in your shelter alive. To address this the team have started working on a pinning system to both the crafting and upgrade panels, thus allowing you to pin a recipe or upgrade that will display a marker on the items you require to craft it. If/when you’ve acquired the correct number of items the market will disappear. If you have two recipes or upgrades that both require the same item, the marker on the specific item will not disappear until you have enough of it to satisfy for requirements for both. All going well this feature should be added into Sheltered when update 1.7 launches and will work on Surrounded, Stasis and the original Survival game mode. As always, thank you for your continued feedback and support, we look forward to hearing what you think of this feature when it goes live.

Hey Survivors, We're dropping by with a hotfix to avoid some pesky bugs. Thank you all for your patience whilst we addressed this. Bug Fixes

• Achievements should now be functioning as normal. Progress toward achievements shouldn't be lost.
• Fix for characters in Linux version appearing pink.
• Vsyncing improvements - certain GPUs should no longer run hot.
• Input fix: controller hot-swapping has been replaced with a switch in the options menu. Users experiencing issues with peripherals should be able to use keyboard and mouse without issues now.

Hey Community, Firstly, a big shout out and thank you to everyone who took part in our recent patch beta and provided feedback. Thanks to your efforts not only have we made a few tweaks but weâ

Calling all survivors!

Hey Survivors, You’ve been enduring the apocalyptic wasteland for quite some time now. Some of you have flourished and created a future for your family. Many however, have perished and been claimed by the apocalypse. Now, the next stage of Sheltered is nearly upon you! Whether you’re a diehard player looking for even greater challenges or someone who wants a less harsh experience this update is for you! Now ask yourselves this...dare you take on the new Hardcore mode? Due to the size and scope of this update we’ll be launching it as a BETA today to ensure everything added runs smoothly. We plan to run this BETA for 10 days, starting today. This is subject to change. The Beta is open to everyone who owns Sheltered and you can access it by following these instructions:

• Right click on Sheltered in Steam > Properties.
• Head to Betas > input password “BetaForUpdate4” > select check code.
• Select the “beta” branch from the drop-down box in the Betas tab.
• Allow the title to update. You may need to verify the game cache by heading to Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache…
• Launch the game!

• Head to Local Files > Browse Local Files.
• Copy contents of folder “saves” to a secure location.
• Once you’ve finished playing the beta, you can replace the newer “saves” folder with the older one.

• 3 brand new difficulty settings: Easy, Hard and Hardcore. The difficulty settings allow users to change the frequency of rain, resources, breaches, factions. It also defines how aggressive or docile expedition encounters are, the size of the map and whether fog of war is enabled or not. Players also have the option to create their own custom difficulty settings. This brings the total amount of difficulty settings to four, two of which have their own leaderboards. (Easy & Custom does not have leaderboards)
• Updated the menu system to incorporate difficulty settings.
• Fixed bug where the dog (and party) may not return from expeditions (this may not fix pre-existing issues in old saves)
• Fixed bed covers layering issue
• Fixed an issue where objects could be crafted on top of one another, or in places they should not be allowed (by the front doors)
• Stopped paint eroding on walls
• Removed some rogue pixels from a shelter door sprite
• Updated breach tutorial popup text
• Fixed bookshelf bug where it wouldn’t decrease the amount of books when deconstructed
• Updated Horse Stable sprite
• Stopped the family stating “the pet is hungry” hints when they are away from the shelter (Dog/Horse)
• Stopped automated characters from repeatedly trying to use a bed which is at 0% integrity Stopped pets getting stuck in partially constructed rooms
• Fixed a bug where two deconstruction panels opening at the same time would cause the game to pause until ESC/B is pressed
• Fixed bug where breachers would not enter if there was a dead body blocking the door
• Updated encounter summary “victory” panel artwork
• Unity updated to fix input issues

So we’re happy to announce that there is now a Simplified Chinese language option available to select in Sheltered! Here’s the list of changes:

Survivors, We’ve been supporting Sheltered with updates since launch and we’ve been monitoring the feedback after each update to find out what the Sheltered community thinks. We discovered our latest update introduced a bug that affected a small percentage of Sheltered players, causing issues with the map and crafting bench. Here’s a list of changes: • Fixed an issue with map icons disappearing on both new and existing saves. • Fixed an issue with expedition members not returning to the Shelter when affected by the map issue. • Fixed an issue where the crafting bench panel would not scroll down for tier 2. For those that were affected by the issues, we thank you for your patience whilst we worked on a fix.

We’ve got plenty more planned for Sheltered so stay tuned for more news! Love Sonny, Dean & Team17

Survivors!

Here’s a list of changes:

• Reduced the chance of encountering wildlife outside of the forest and mountain areas.
• Changed the accuracy of the crowbar and pistol when meleeing.
• Increased the amount of time between encounters by 100%.
• Changed the strength values of bears and wolves in the early game.

And there’s even bears…yep you heard it right….bears.

Bug Fixes

Survivors, You may notice a small update to Sheltered. We managed to fix an issue with save data not loading correctly if the game was saved whilst a character was crafting at the Laboratory or Ammunition Press. As this was an important fix we didn’t want to wait for the next big update. And while we were at it we made a change to the way you craft flashbangs, which are now constructed at the Ammunition Press instead of the Work Bench. If you missed the last update to Sheltered you should check out the Hatch Notes video to find more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eUy0SQQiN0 That’s all for now! Love Sonny, Dean & Team17

It’s time for Hatch Notes #2!

Survivors! As we explained in the last announcement, we’ve changed the way that we deliver you updates. We’ve now got to a stage where Steam and Xbox One updates will hit at the same time, with the same content. We’re also splitting our updates into two types, ‘Hatch notes’ and bigger themed updates like this one! The Combat and Quest update shakes things up in a number of ways. We’ve changed the way the combat looks, with a new interface and new options. You can now steal from enemies, disarm them or even inflict a bleeding status effect on them. There are now quests where NPC’s in the wasteland will give you tasks, so look out for yellow markers on your map. And if you hear a knock on your door, it may be the beginning of a new scenario, a different form of quests with new tasks and challenges. [img= http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/392169906048559375/9B2F6BC5C672C98E616A0DF5B5DC7E6603311679/] Alongside the work we’ve been doing on making new features, we’ve been targeting bugs and tweaking the game to make it an overall better experience. For instance selecting one of the female heads will no longer create an avatar with two heads anymore (not that we discriminate against that kind of thing!) Right, it’s time to close the hatch and get comfy, you’ve got a big read ahead of you…
