Broadcasting on all frequencies, it’s time for another Hatch Notes!
One of the features of this update that we’re really excited about is the new functionality of the Radio Transmitter. You can now use it to find new quests and search for new recruits and traders out in the wasteland for those times when a Gas Mask is nowhere to be seen. We also added two new quests and a host of bug fixes and changes. To hear more about the update check out the Hatch Notes video https://youtu.be/2eUy0SQQiN0

As usual we do our best to make sure that the new update works with previous saves so you can continue the battle to survive.
We’re also releasing a hotfix patch today for the infamous Sam Smith bug. Unfortunately those that experienced it will have all their characters remain as Sam Smith and their characters will be white, but that should be the only lasting effect. Everything else can be upgraded again, stats can be increased and objects can be moved. Thanks for your patience with this one!
Keep the feedback coming and we’ll continue to do our best to make Sheltered even better. And if you like the update then please give it a thumbs up!
Love Dean, Sonny & Team17
