New Key Mapping Options
You can now customize your controls directly in the menu. This is especially helpful for streamlining frequent tasks:
- Food Delivery: Assign a specific key to handle deliveries without diving into sub-menus.
- Inventory Access: Rebind the default “I” key if you prefer a different layout.
- Survival & Difficulty Balancing
The update gives you granular control over how punishing the game feels: - Depletion Rates: Manually adjust how fast your character gets hungry or thirsty
- Difficulty Presets: Choose from pre-made configurations if you don’t want to tweak individual sliders.
The Time Scale Safety Net
This is the “anti-frustration” feature. Previously, fast-forwarding time often meant your character would starve or dehydrate before you could react.
- Time Scale Toggle: You can now turn this On or Off.
- The Cap: When active, your depletion rates are capped at x15.
- Why it matters: Even if you are running the game world at x360 speed, your character’s vitals won’t plummet instantly, giving you a safety buffer while skipping time.
