Official Patch Notes

Waiting Room Update
v0.0.12 July 14, 2026
Added
  • Earlobe Humidity slider (per ear): Added to the character creator. Left and right earlobes may now be tuned independently. This is the feature you did not ask for and will spend ninety minutes on.
  • New achievement — "Begin the Game": Awarded for pressing Begin and exiting the character creator. Currently unlocked by 0.0% of testers. Steam has flagged it as possibly unobtainable.

Changed
  • Procedural NPC naming: All generated NPCs now spawn named "Preston" and inform you a settlement needs your help. This has been reclassified from a bug to the core gameplay loop. Reception internally is "unsettled but moved."
  • Loading screens now feature loading screens. The inner loading screen loads faster than the game and has become a fan favourite.

Known Issues
  • A producer has been inside the character creator since March. He has not been extracted. He is being catered. He says he is close. This is not a technical issue and cannot be resolved with a patch.
