Hello Survivors!
On this Saturday we have a EXP build for you available to test.
We recommend starting a new save game, but do not expect any issues to occur with continued saves during EXP.
The world corruption issue is only able to prevent this issue from occurring, it cannot restore saves it happened to.

TFP wishes an enjoyable rest of your weekend!



Here is how you participate:

1. Right click on the game in steam

2. Click on properties

3. Click the “betas” tab

4. The drop down menu will have latest_experimental available <— you want THAT

5. Select that and wait for the game to download
