Hello Survivors! A new patch for Stranded: Alien Dawn has just landed on Steam. Thank you again for all your feedback and suggestions since launch. Keep on reading for the full changelog: [b]Stability and Performance[/b]

• Adjusted memory management/allocation to prevent crashes, especially when saving/loading and autosaving games
• Fixed a graphics issue that sometimes occurred during the opening landing sequence, after starting a new game
• Fixed rare freeze issue during which the sun disappears
• Optimised framerate stability, especially for Saltu

[b]Survivors[/b]

• Survivors can now climb carbon towers
• Survivors with activities set at priority level 1 or 2 are no longer prevented from relaxing, eating or sleeping during times when their schedule is also set to "Anything"
• The EM umbrella now activates even if equipped by a survivor after the rain has started
• Survivors now take the temperature outside into consideration, and can now venture outside during a Cold snap or Heat wave if the temperature is within their tolerance levels
• Adjusted pathfinding so plants don't obstruct access when they don't appear to do so

[b]Miscellaneous[/b]

• Production devices now have the option to 'Change Area', allowing them to be set to the Global area for example, so that survivors allocated to a different specific area would still then use them
• The alignment of the area flag to the construction grid has been revised to improve positioning/placement
• The Health bar for animals that were previously injured now disappears from the UI over time
• Increased the maximum temperature tolerance of the Dandelion Tree
• Minor adjustments to visual effects for the EM umbrella, the grenade, snow and rain
• Added the option on the main menu to opt-in to the Frontier Newsletter
• PC/Steam: Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the Mod Editor to freeze and not respond
