Sandbox survival requires a home. This update adds two major items to the build hammer menu:
The headline feature of this patch is a complete rework of the Dynamic Fog System. Previously, the mist was a binary state: either it was clear, or you were about to be chomped by a "Rapidity" mutant. Mist Survival v20241230 Early Access

Players are reporting that staying outside during a Stage 3 event is now a death sentence unless you have the new Gas Mask MK-II (which requires rare rubber seals). The v20241230 update changed building collision
For the uninitiated, Mist Survival is a single-player, first-person survival sandbox. The world has been ravaged by a pandemic, but the virus is not just in the people—it rides on the Mist.

v20241230 introduces a "Macro & Micro Nutrient" system. You now need to balance Carbs (energy), Proteins (muscle repair), and Vitamins (immunity). If you eat only wild berries and mushrooms for three in-game days, your character will develop "Scurvy-Like Symptoms," causing random bleeding and blurry vision.
