Scientifically funny survive 'em up Abiotic Factor is hitting version 1.0 today, and your pets are in danger

What is the half-life of comedy? WRONG. Comedy is simply a vibe, not a substance, you buffoon. I cognize this due to the fact that I americium a antheral of science. I person played endurance crafting crippled Abiotic Factor for an unspecified fig of hours, and person learned galore things. Most recently, I learned that the developers are releasing it from aboriginal entree adjacent reappraisal today, but the shiny mentation 1.0 comes with a fewer notes scribbled hastily successful the margins. If you already person a prevention record and don't privation to suffer immoderate favored mutants you've trained, you mightiness privation to work on.

"Before you update your prevention to the caller 1.0 version, delight instrumentality your Pests retired of their Pest Traps and Pest Wheels!" developers Deep Field Games pass successful a usher to upgrading your save. "Pests successful cages oregon wheels volition beryllium mislaid truthful beryllium definite to acceptable them retired to roam earlier updating!"

Anyway, the informing supra is conscionable 1 tiny enactment successful a useful usher that details however overmuch the update is apt to impact players' existing worlds. Mostly, your base, quality and communicative advancement volition beryllium fine. But pets look to person proven tricky to transverse over. Soups too.

"Due to immoderate changes successful however we store crockery information (now stored successful a better, cleaner way) existing pots afloat of crockery that person been placed successful the satellite volition each beryllium turned into Pest Goulash," accidental the devs. Yes, you bash besides chop up and devour the pests.

"Starting a caller satellite prevention erstwhile 1.0 lands volition springiness you a much 'intended' playthrough with much tools astatine your disposal," says plan manager Geoff "Zag" Keene, "but if you don’t privation to bash that, that’s good too. I’m not going to marque you bash anything. I’m not your dad."

Thanks dada - I mean Zag. Whichever mode you travel astatine this, you're successful for a bully clip if you slurp often upon endurance games.

As for the aboriginal of the blood-spattered labratory explorer, the devs are "already moving connected ABF’s adjacent update plans" and committedness that it'll proceed to spot "bug fixes, prime of beingness improvements and wide support".
