42.1 UNSTABLE Released
Tue, 21 January 2025



Old saves are compatible but a new savegame is required for all of these changes to take full effect.


NEW

- Added Firearm Chance To Damage sandbox option, an experimental new method to calculate firearm hits, now based on the chance to damage. It is defaulted to be on, but the previous method remains available in Sandbox. Feedback is welcome on both for future balance.
- Chance-to-Damage: Each successfully aimed shot hits. The previous chance-to-hit calculation then determines if damage is dealt. This change aims to eliminate the frustration of ?missed shots? and attempts to make every ranged attack feel more rewarding.
