Barotrauma Dev Tracker

You shan't, this time, I'm afraid. We did not have the time to make two posts, so there will only be one proper announcement on the day of the update (we like to translate our Steam announcements into a couple of different languages, and that takes time).

You can play all the new things in the ... Read more

Hi! You're correct that the actual anniversary date already passed, but we needed a bit more time to get everything ready for the update. Look forward to it next week!

The radiation is explained quite poorly in the game at the moment (a lot of the lore we've written about it has currently only been published in the DLC Magazines), but that's going to change in future updates.

The radiation fields around Jupiter are a real-life phenomena caused by Jupiter's immense magnetic field. Because of it, the level of radiation on Europa's surface is high enough to be deadly (which explains why the colonists settled under the ice in Barotrauma).

The part made up for the game is that the intensity of that radiation is somehow increasing, and has already gotten so intense that it's affecting the outposts under the ice. Why exactly it's increasing is a mystery to the Europans as well. The reason why the society is not in a state of panic is that people don't know for sure how bad the situation is - they don't know how long it's going to keep increasing, or whether it's going to reach a level where shielding the outposts and/or migrating dee...

Hi, the hotfix was announced today via patchnotes as always. You can see it, including the full changelog, here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/602960/announcements/detail/3174484827448050640

Or, if you mean the actual update and not today's patch, that was announced the week before! You can browse earlier news posts under the ... Read more

Hi, this thread seems unrelated to Barotrauma, so I am locking it. It is unclear to me whether OP or anyone else wished to provoke anyone with the topic, but as the weekend approaches and we may not be here to keep an eye on it, I think it might be in everyone's best interest to avoid further conversation here – since none of it so far seems to yield much discussion about the game itself.

Wish everyone a nice weekend!

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. This is unfortunately an actual problem in the game which somehow managed to go unnoticed all the way until release, and as such you cannot work around it. It seems to affect about half of all colony modules. We are aware of the problem now, though, and will fix it as soon as we are able to!

Originally posted by moikka434: What happens to the crew member's money if he disconnects and the rest of the crew continue playing? Does the money get returned to the bank or does it remain on the crew member till he rejoins?

The money stays on the disconnected character once they rejoin (If you really want to access their money you can kill them after they have disconnected and loot the money by grabbing them)

Forgot to mention that we are going to do a update which allows hosts to directly use the money stored in the bank again, so just like it used to work. Sadly that change didn't make it into this update.

You have to use the new wallet system in order to access the money stored in the bank, you can access the wallet by pressing Tab key and selecting a character from the crew list. On the right hand side you can adjust that characters salary and from the drop down under the salary you can transfer/request money from the bank.

Server hosts and players who has permission to manage money can transfer money from the bank freely and they can adjust every players salaries as well (which is recommended).

You can also give other players money by selecting them in the crew list and moving money to their wallet, or as a host you can move other players money back to the bank if needed.
