Quick answer

The latest update we have is 1.0.0.6 from October 31, 2026, a modding security update that may break some mods. The biggest balance change so far is 1.0.0.2, which made water trading much cheaper to start.

On this page

1.0.0.6: Modding security (October 31)

  • Changes the modding system to improve security. Some mods may break until their authors update them.
  • Adds a "Menu / Back" key binding that does everything Esc does.

If your game misbehaves after this patch, disable your mods first.

1.0.0.5: Hotfix and bell hotkey (October 30)

Useful changes

  • New rebindable hotkey for the counter bell, set to B by default. Hold it to dismiss the current customer.
  • Water Purifier price cut from 300 to 250.
  • The Merchant now keeps visiting every Sunday after you buy the store.
  • You can drag any bandage onto a Glass Shard to make a Glass Shiv, and the bandage isn't used up.
  • The Scavenger's Token can now be kept in the Dossier.
  • The Inventor now stocks the Gene Scanner once Rat Ranching is unlocked.

Display

  • The frame rate cap now uses VSync and follows your monitor, which fixes stuttering and tearing. You can turn it off in Options.
  • Better fullscreen support on non-16:9 monitors.

Worth knowing

  • Opened crate contents are now final. They no longer change when you reload after your luck increases.
  • A store with its power cut now stays dark until the next night's power check.
  • Water customers now tell you to remove the filter from a Water Pitcher instead of silently refusing it.

1.0.0.2: Water balance (October 28)

This patch makes water a much better early business:

Moisture Farm650350
Water Filter5025
Dr. Jackson's markup (Normal)25%15%

It also reworks the Water Purifier so it's easier to use, and Lou can no longer be shot during her visits.

1.0.0.1: First hotfix (October 28)

  • Reporting Lou to Security no longer lowers your Black Market reputation.
  • Items in a Smuggler Bay are no longer confiscated in two edge cases: when the bay is in the trash can, or when a Mini Smuggler Bay was kept behind the poster.
  • The Merchant now states the discount he actually takes on your difficulty.

1.0: Launch (October 28)

The full release added nine starting scenarios, four difficulty options, the store buyout ending, completed character storylines, Steam Workshop support, vending machines, new starting perks, a UI overhaul and 21 achievements.

What's next

The developers plan regular free updates. They've named Junker, Organ Trader and Street Food Vendor starts, Expeditions, new appraisal items and a main story expansion.
