After a bit of a delay, the Q2 update is finally here! Some big ticket features have been added as well as a host of various other fixes and optimizations. There may be a few things that have slipped through the cracks due to the extent of the changes so be sure to keep your previous saves to fall back on if there are fairly serious issues popping up.

New Features

Injury System

A few injuries can now appear during the course of the game. A new tutorial task has been added to help explain the mechanics of the new system.

Generally for bleeding-based injuries you\'ll need to stop the bleeding with a bandage-type item, clean and sanitize the wound to fully treat the injury. Leaving injuries dirty risks infection and fever. Other injuries like fractures require splints to regain some use of the affected area.

Advanced Building System

Multi-story building is finally here! The next tier of building uses lumber sawed from tall trees to use as posts and beams. To ensure things stay level, you need to place down foundation pieces called Sole Plates to define where the posts and walls will go. These foundation require the terrain to be level before they can be fully built.

The system works mostly like before, but the roof and floor pieces are drawn from one beam to another rather than snapping to empty triangular or square areas.

Weather and Seasons

And lastly, seasons have arrive in the world of The Last Plague. New season progression and starting season options have been added for new games. New clothing items have also been added to help with the cold.

Given that days last around 2.4 real hours (1.6 with sleep), a faster season progression (2x speed, ~182 days/year) option was added so that Winter could actually be encountered and that it wouldn\'t last an overly long time. Otherwise each year takes 365 in-game days which would take around 650 real-world hours! Please let me know if these options make sense and if any others would be nice to have.
