Hi! I may be stating the obvious, but if you'd like to find a group to try it out with soon, you can always join our official Discord, discord.gg/undertow to find other people who are currently active. As we release in the European afternoon, with the majority of our players in the Americas, it will most likely take some time for the bulk of the servers to update to the new version.

Hope you get to play soon and like what you see!

Hi! I've seen a few of these "corrections" posted recently as well, and I think they've largely been posted by people who are active in editing the wiki and to whom it is thus an important detail ;)

To elaborate a little on what Blue said, the wiki is and always has been a player-driven effort first and foremost, and as such, when we were approached by our active wiki editors with a request to start and host a new wiki on our own domain, we were happy to oblige. Currently, we're still in the process of improving the new wiki and placing a redirect on the old one, and I believe it's this sense of "in progress" that also drives our wiki editors to redirect individual people. It's naturally not wrong to consult the old wiki on Gamepedia, and I am sure no one really means that by their redirects either! I've yet to post about the new wiki here in a more official capacity, because the official redirect is not yet up on the old wiki and there's generally still some work to be ... Read more

Hi everyone!

You may have seen that there are recently two Barotrauma wikis. The new one, hosted on our own barotraumagame.com domain came to be in the last weeks of last year – it's owned by the dev team but still largely maintained by our players. We will be focusing our editing efforts on the wiki on our own website from here on out, so eventually, the older Gamepedia wiki may become outdated.

Hi! As a general rule, we try to maintain backwards compatibility as much as possible and have only seriously broken old saves with one update throughout our early access period (the complete campaign overhaul we did last summer), as far as I recall. So the assumption is always that your existing saves should largely work just fine even as the game updates...however, with custom subs or mods, something breaking is much more likely, and as Knee wrote, when we make significant changes to something pretty basic that affects the whole game, such as the inventory, there's always a chance that there will be some adverse effects too.

We appreciate reports if anything goes unexpectedly wrong following an update so that we can better anticipate those adverse effects in the future and inform players – developing an early access title with a steady player base, we don't to cause undue annoyance to anyone with updates! With the update this week in particular, I don't believe you sho... Read more

Hi! You'll be happy to hear this is planned; the details are still a little hazy as to how or when exactly, but the feature has been requested over and over again, so we will certainly be adding it when we can. Here's the corresponding card on our Trello roadmap: https://trello.com/c/8zAKuIj0/344-personal-wallets

Hi everyone! This thread feels quite heated, so we're going to lock it to avoid any unnecessary unpleasantness on the forums. While everyone is free to express an opinion, please always be kind to others even if you disagree with them! Similarly, a post that is politely written is much nicer to read, for us and other players alike :)

As for the question itself, instead of rolling back any previous changes, we're continuing to work on streamlining inventory management with item stacking. We're going to write more about that on our blog in just a couple of days, but it will sadly be only in English, most likely. Here's a sneak peek about item stacking:

A lot of those items you typically have several of, such as ammo, oxygen or welding fuel tanks, or meds, can soon be stacked into a single inventory slot to save inventory space. This affects character inventories, containers like cabinets and toolboxes, weapon containers...basically anywhere there's an inven... Read more

Hi! You shouldn't need to make tweaks in the console because of this, at least not for much longer – we've made changes for the next update that should help with spineling-related lag spikes specifically. If you're still encountering the issue after the update (early February), please write back to let us know!

P.S. If you're anxious to get the fix now, you can play a test version of the next update already. More information ... Read more

Ah, I see! That shouldn't matter too much, unless you're using mods that override the same content. For example, if you had installed "Trick or Trauma", which replaces plasma cutters with chainsaws, and another mod that replaces those same plasma cutters with, let's say, an axe, then the mod that's lower on the list would override the previous one. So it could depend on whether you wanted axes or chainsaws.

Hi! Mods are loaded from the top to bottom in the order they're arranged in the settings, so the things you want loaded first you should place at the top.

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. You can find more information (in English) about this problem in this thread, where I wrote earlier: https://steamcommunity.com/app/602960/discussions/1/5174040687095188406/

The problem will be fixed in the next update, so it should stop bothering yo... Read more

Hi! We're aware this is a problem for players who play on bigger screens. We're looking into it, and if it proves to be a simple matter, we'll be making the text size adjustable soon, perhaps even in the next update. However, it's still a little too early to tell if we are able to do that. In any event, we wish to make this happen as soon as possible!

Unfortunately, having the log in a character inventory or anywhere on the sub also causes this (when there is an overly long message in it, that is). XML editing is not my specialty either, but this is what I was able to find, written by another player who was troubleshooting the issue with us on our issue tracker[github.com]:

The issue can be bypassed by opening up the save file in your favorite XML text editor and searching for "log", you'll know you found the right one if you find a terminal with a bunch of lore looking text. You can then just delete most of the content and the game will load normally again.

I believe we'll be releasing the fix for this issue into the "... Read more

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. It sounds like you've run into the issue described in more detail here: https://trello.com/c/Atq0Lj6E/342-fix-coming-items-falling-out-of-inventories-and-players-unable-to-interact-in-multiplayer

In short, it's about the logbook you picked up while salvaging. It can be worked around but that's a little finicky; details behind the link. A proper fix will be included in the next update, but that will still be a few weeks in the making. I hope it helps in the meantime to at least know what to avoid!

Hi! Sorry to hear you're having problems with Barotrauma. As a first measure, please go through this FAQ post and try things like validating game files and deleting mods (details in the post) to rule out the "likely suspects". Also, please make sure it isn't anything on your end (out... Read more

Hi! Sorry for the trouble, this is an actual bug and there's probably no easy way to work around it for the moment: currently, you need to descend the height of the level + 5000 meters, which probably isn't possible without modifying the levels because the sea floor is above that depth.

We'll fix it as soon as we're able to, and you can keep tabs on it via this GitHub ticket if you'd like to: https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues/4702

Hi! Thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble. It seems someone else has recently run into the same and reported the issue in our GitHub, so if you'd like to, you can follow our progress on the ticket there: https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues/4697

Hi everyone! I would like to clear up some things about the Trello roadmap: first off, something being in the hopes and dreams section does not by any means say that that thing will happen; it's more of a nod that the thought has crossed our minds and if it seems feasible, we may consider it. The long-term plans list is the end of actual plans – and the list is not exhaustive, or set in stone. It's only what we can say with some certainty right now.

Secondly, just like the Trello roadmap doesn't include a card like "fix the top 500 most annoying bugs", it also doesn't say "make the bot AI good enough that SP no longer drives new players crazy in less than half an hour". However, that doesn't mean it isn't one of our overarching goals to improve the singleplayer experience further – on the contrary, that is an important part of our development plans, but rather than there being big, easily identifiable milestones there, it's (for the time being, anyway!) work that we do w...
