Now, you can spin yourself dizzy, and they should be much more adept at crossing uneven terrain! ##### Trees New tree models (version 3?) balancing the older vanilla art style with the (recently-removed) SpeedTree models. With these replaced, we're planning to run a new screenshot contest at the start of 2025! But first, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the models: [Steam Discussions Trees Feedback Thread](https://steamcommunity.com/app/304930/discussions/2/592883860567535985/) [SDG Forum Trees Feedback Thread](https://forum.smartlydressedgames.com/t/3-24-7-0-tree-feedback/25493) Credit for the new tree models goes to Toothy Deeryte! Contracting her to upgrade the trees was my first experience sharing the game's Unity project with a member of the modding community. She's a lovely, kind person and was patient with me as we experimented with collaborating this way. I'm feeling optimistic to work further with community members to upgrade the game in 2025! Huge thanks as well to Flodo for providing tons of helpful feedback to Toothy - I'll go more in depth about the story here in a "behind the scenes" blog post later. ##### Gameplay Changes This update **restores** the grip to the Maplestrike! The previous change was intended to help other weapons keep up, as the Maplestrike has dominated PvP since its addition. However, many players felt this change detracted from its identity, and it felt worse for non-PvP players than simply tweaking the base recoil. We only slightly increased the recoil in consideration of the other recoil-related changes in this update. Other notable changes to balance and gameplay include: - LMGs are now more effective at suppression, shooting 3-4x as many bullets at a time. We'd previously been considering specializing LMGs into suppression with near-miss effects, but are curious to see whether this is a more fun alternative. - Vanilla sentry guns are now "ammo efficient", with only a 25% chance (was 100%) to actually consume ammo/quality when firing. Hostile sentries gained an additional use, now being able to directly target enemy vehicles. We're hoping these changes will further encourage their use. - Explosions were rewritten to be more reliable and consistent. Small explosions like precision charges and explosive bullets in particular should see noticeable improvement. As above, we've started dedicated feedback threads to hear what you think of the gameplay changes: [Steam Discussions Balance Feedback Thread](https://steamcommunity.com/app/304930/discussions/2/592883860567536011/) [SDG Forum Balance Feedback Thread](https://forum.smartlydressedgames.com/t/3-24-7-0-balance-feedback/25494) ##### Server Browser Curation Players, server hosts, and modders now have much more control over the server list! Anyone can create a curation list for everything from sharing recommendations, to regional filtering, to protecting your network against spoofing. We'll be curious to see the novel uses published to the workshop! [Read Documentation](https://docs.smartlydressedgames.com/en/stable/servers/server-browser-curation.html) ##### Combo Crate Event The items chosen from the Combo Crate 2024 Workshop Event are now available. There were quite a few new creators with lots of great submissions - thank you to everyone who entered! All of the items are available in a box or complete set bundle: the Business Briefcase through the Stockpile, and the Artisan's Makeshift Mystery Box through crafting. ##### Winter Sale By popular request, the new items are releasing with the classic pricing, and the bundles are launching at a 25% discount. Additionally, items that we don't typically put on sale (like boxes) are discounted to the classic pricing, and if it's well-received we will revert the newer pricing! ##### Changelog **Added** - Improved physics for the Explorer and T _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/304930/view/658185520169354709]_
