Update 1.0.0.12 changes and the free update roadmap

The current version is update 1.0.0.12 (6 November 2026) with the 100-Rev13 hotfix (8 November). Patch 1.0.0.12 is mainly quality of life and story fixes; its economy changes are narrower than “rebalance” suggests: Disposable Battery prices, energy cells counting as Material in the display case, a better fountain, ±15 luck perks, cheaper Current Converters with Power Line Hijack, and a 99.01% purifier cap. Water prices were rebalanced earlier, in hotfixes 1.0.0.2 and 1.0.0.5. The next content update is planned for mid-December with the Junker scenario and Expeditions.

Other 1.0.0.12 changes

• Options: click dialogue bubbles to advance; dialogue bubble size 50–150%; Move Bought Items to Inventory (on by default); Disable Pop Culture Characters removes the Case Enjoyer and the Foodie Tourist.
• Store: energy cells in the display case count as Material for attracting buyers but do not carry the Material tag; the fountain earns more at most upgrade levels; the vending machine no longer sells hoppers placed inside it; a Lower Levels Power Outage no longer counts as a blackout.
• Machines: the alarm shows as unpowered and the Nightly Report warns when its cell cannot cover the night; machine tooltips warn under Required Energy; Intake Hoppers in a full output grid carry the overflow away; the Current Converter counts as a Tool.
• Shotgun: kept longer before Security collects it; with a revoked Weapon Permit 1 it is kept indefinitely and always returned.
• Story: most story characters can be shot to end their storyline; the Gambler’s Coin can go in the dossier; Sentinel Collapse Disorder warns the night before it deals lasting damage.
• Fixes: sales slowing down and items left on the counter after many sales in a day; variety buyers and tourists now apply their bonus to items already on the counter; store unclickable after closing the destination screen; alt-tab and Proton display problems.

Hotfix 100-Rev13 (8 November)

Chinese item, dialogue and UI names were restored to the previous translation; items in Lou’s locker are counted correctly, which had wrongly led to players being bombed (the fix applies to existing saves). A major modding security update will be merged on 10 December; mod authors need to update before then.

Earlier hotfixes

• 1.0.0.1 (28 Oct): reporting Lou no longer lowers Black Market reputation; Smuggler’s Bay contents are no longer confiscated when the bay is in the trash can or behind the poster; the Merchant states his real discount.
• 1.0.0.5 (30 Oct): a rebindable counter bell key (B); the Inventor stocks the Gene Scanner once Rat Ranching is unlocked; the Merchant keeps visiting on Sundays after you buy the store; the Scavenger’s Token fits in the dossier.
• 1.0.0.6 (31 Oct): modding security and a second Menu/Back key binding.

Roadmap (announced 12 November)

Window	Planned content
Mid-December	Junker starting scenario with its own perk and items; Expeditions (hire, equip and send scavs); a minor Fence expansion. Likely: shotgun shells, 25mm grenade rounds, a tier 3 handmade SMG and armor.
Late January (very likely)	Organ Dealer scenario: buying organs for requests, later growing or printing them; blood filtering and blood-type value modifiers; expeditions for black market thugs; new machines.
April (very likely)	Street Food Vendor scenario: customers eat in the shop; fresh food including Chinese dishes, drinks and desserts; Aquaculture and Hydroponics expansions.

The developer says all roadmap updates are free, plans may change, and November is reserved for bug fixes and quality of life.
