You can now change settings in custom worlds - save a game to apply.

• ALT fix - 3 September 2026

• Electricity and gamepad hotfix - 3 September 2026

  Fixed problems with the electricity system. Maybe not all of them, but the most critical ones. Improved gamepad support on PC: the game now picks up a gamepad automatically when you connect it. Fixed a gamepad bug where the compass wouldn't go away. Added a virtual cursor so you can control the cursor with a gamepad in the inventory. Added key bindings for quick drop and quick move in the settings. Added the option to rebind the LootAll button. You can now put up wallpaper on all walls with doorways and windows.

• More optimization and bugfixes - 2 September 2026

  Optimization and bugfix. This is what changed in the Zone: Another major update on optimization. Global rework of how shadows and physics work in the Zone, resulting in a significant FPS boost, up to 300% in some of the areas and hardware configurations where the CPU was a bottleneck. The work is not done yet, and we continue improving performance, especially on heavy locations like the Megafactory in future updates. Now you can change difficulty and custom parameters for your world, no need to start a new game. Please note, there is no way back if you change the difficulty from Hardcore to any other.Electricity fix: now combiner should work properly. Please report any anomalies, and our electrical team will deploy and fix them. Anomalies fix: some anomalies had extremely high damage and no sound, which caused seemingly random instakills, especially the static shock anomaly. Now fixed.…

• Optimization and bugfixes - 26 August 2026

  Dear survivors, in this intermediate technical update, we focused on optimization improvements and bug fixes. Here is what changed in the Zone: Major asset optimizations: LODs, draw distance, navigation, etc. DX is back to 11, as we found out many players use hardware that does not support DX12. You can still use DX12 if you would like to by running the game with the -dx12 parameter. Melee weapon collisions fixed. Incoming damage flinch significantly reduced, now you can shoot more accurately under fire. Sprinting on Steam Deck fixed + general sprinting interruptions fixed. Microfreezes when opening the menu fixed. Camera clipping in 3rd-person view fixed. Show/hide HUD hotkey changed to "Alt+1" to work on any keyboard layout. Wild dwarf behavior improved. Domesticated dwarf AI bugs fixed. Large bunkers optimization improved. Anomaly animations improved. Enemy AI optimizations improved.…

• Minor changes and bug fixes - 19 August 2026

  * More loot in UN and military crates in the Factory biome. * Increased inventory space in the Butcher Workbench. * Advanced Splitter and Combiner recipes fixed. * Exoskeleton armor fixed. If you have an integrated graphic card or old PC in general and experience crashes and VRAM errors after the latest update - launch the game with the "-dx11" attribute and it will fix it. We are working on a more convenient solution.

• Factory Hotfix #3 - 18 August 2026

  Citizens of Zaslavie, please read what was changed in the Factory Hotfix #3All jackets\\uniforms now have some minimum armor, and rigs/armor vests provide armor for the whole body except the head. The logic here is that jackets provide inventory space, while vests provide armor as a primary utility. You will also suffer fewer random crits: in the previous update, hits to your legs or arms ignored armor, causing mortal damage. Wearing a jacket now provides some minimum armor, but do not rely solely on it for protection, wear helmets and vests!Artifacts' selling price increased.Bread price increased to 10.Ash efficiency increased 5 times. What was the logic behind the bread farming economy changes? We noticed that many players found a loophole in the economy by farming and selling bread and then burning cash for ash. That created an infinite money glitch and let people get rich with no ri…

  Bugs fixed: * Deer trophy crafting fixed. * Now you can buy plastic from the resource trader. * Additional box loot spawning fixed. * Pooping bug fixed: you can poop again! * Sewing Kit and Gun Cleaning Kit spawns fixed. * Text plates crafting price reduced. * Minor fixes and improvements.

• Factory Hotfix - 14 August 2026

  Comrades, Hotfix is here. Bugs fixed: * Bunker spawn glitch fixed. You will no longer get stuck in textures during your Bunker expeditions. * Radio telescope getting stuck fixed. * Winter texture glitch fixed. * Door gaps fixed. * Code locks fixed. * Invisible rain bug fixed. * Clothes and gear desyncs fixed. * Invisible HUD bug fixed - remember, you can turn the HUD on and off in Settings or with the “~” hotkey. * Military box spawn exploit fixed. * Placement UI elements getting stuck in building mode fixed. * Minor fixes and improvements. Thank you for your patience and for all the bug reports. Please keep them coming! We will continue fixing and improving the game, including optimization improvements coming in the next update. For Zaslavie!

• WELCOME TO THE MEGAFACTORY - 13 August 2026

  Citizens of Zaslavie, dear comrades, please listen to the important message from the Commissary!The long-promised new update is here. Please welcome FACTORY, a brutal industrial biome.The factory district is the metal heart of Zaslavie, pumping milk and diesel for the glory of our beautiful motherland. At least it was, while it lasted… Now it lies in ruins but is far from dead. It is the most inhabited (or should we say infested?) region. So oil up your guns, comrades.And we are talking not just about new mutants. United North forces have been spotted there, and that can’t be a good sign. What are these rats doing there?The Factory is huge, spreading far and deep into the underground and full of haunting beauty. It is a new standard for content in MISERY, and we will soon update and refresh all locations to meet this standard and add new locations and POIs across all biomes.The new biom…
