Patch Notes

Steam/Epic - 1.10.230712

Adjusted memory management/allocation to prevent crashes, especially when saving/loading and autosaving games
Fixed a graphics issue that sometimes occurred during the opening landing sequence, after starting a new game
Fixed rare freeze issue during which the sun disappears
Optimised framerate stability, especially for Saltu

Survivors can now climb carbon towers
Survivors with activities set at priority level 1 or 2 are no longer prevented from relaxing, eating or sleeping during times when their schedule is also set to "Anything"
The EM umbrella now activates even if equipped by a survivor after the rain has started
Survivors now take the temperature outside into consideration, and can now venture outside during a Cold snap or Heat wave if the temperature is within their tolerance levels
Adjusted pathfinding so plants don't obstruct access when they don't appear to do so

Production devices now have the option to 'Change Area', allowing them to be set to the Global area for example, so that survivors allocated to a different specific area would still then use them
The alignment of the area flag to the construction grid has been revised to improve positioning/placement
The Health bar for animals that were previously injured now disappears from the UI over time
Increased the maximum temperature tolerance of the Dandelion Tree
Minor adjustments to visual effects for the EM umbrella, the grenade, snow and rain
Added the option on the main menu to opt-in to the Frontier Newsletter
