The 15.6.1 patch will go live on Tuesday, July 14th at 10AM. This patch stretched out a bit longer than most as a result of the new tutorial needing quite a bit of testing. We will be looking for a quicker than usual turnaround on the next few patches as we want a chance to quickly respond to tutorial tweaks, and to have time to patch and react on some upcoming features in preparation for PAX Prime.

The largest addition this patch is a new tutorial. The Repopulation is a sandbox, and the open ended nature of the game is a contrast to what many MMO players have been used to. We found that many players left the previous tutorial and then entered into the world without being fully prepared for what to do next. Although there was one case of a mailed mission in that tutorial, it was for the most part a driven experience through the tutorial and there were no generated missions inside of it. Numerous uncovered topics became a point of confusion for players after leaving it. The new tutorial aims to tackle those problems. It takes place in a large new outdoor area. While the required portion of the tutorial is still very short, there are many optional offshoots to it, including generated missions, adversarial camps, harvesters, and other topics which were only briefly brushed through in the previous tutorial. There are also new mentor NPCs who are available to answer many common questions in the game. We also continued the process of adding more image based tips, and this will continue in future patches.

Interface improvements continue with the numerous improvements being made to the crafting and trading interfaces, as well as the in game database. Other highlights include visual upgrades, easier to obtain fittings, a new PvP engagement was added in the Shattered Heights, improved Pending Card rewards, and over 200 bug fixes. You can find a full list of improvements in the notes below.

Finally, we have started back up our Streaming and will have our weekly show on Friday at 3 PM EDT (7 PM GMT) on our Twitch Channel so join us for some discussion of the weekly progress, what is forthcoming, and a few giveaways.

Adversarial Camps

Added new small adversarial camps which are exclusive to the new tutorial. These are small and meant to introduce players to the notion of camps.

AI

Ranged NPCs should now do a better job of finding Line of Sight when players hide behind objects.
Made adjustments to NPC pathfinding to make them less likely to jump on top of things larger than you would expect them to.
Increased the chance that ranged NPCs will move around during combat by roughly 15%.
Improved threat detection code.

Animations

The human character's idle animation has been improved.
Improved the pistol/melee idle animation for the male and female characters.
Improved lurker walk animations.
Fixed the buckled mouth issue for both male and female fishing animations.

Auctions and Work Orders

Partially modified the layout of the Work Orders window, to make room for new search options. (Do not panic, the "Search Bags" feature is still there. Select "Search Bags" from the new options drop down, and then click the single "Search" button at the bottom of the window.)
Added a new search option to the Work Orders window, "Search by Source". This search feature will find all work orders for items that are created (or harvested) via the selected source skill.
The following work order options are now remembered from session to session: Last used Search/Create Option, "Search Bags" match choice, "Search by Source" source selection.
Modified auction search so that if the value in the "Component Type" or "Filter" field is an exact match, including case sensitivity, to one of the choices in the associated list, then the search will only include that one value. (e.g. searching with the component "ore" will also find Power Cores, but "Ore" will only find Ores. Note, if you type in "ore" and press Enter, the value will automatically change to "Ore", since it exactly matches one of the component choices.)
In the "Search Shops" window, right clicking on an item in the "Shop Inventory" list will now show an info card for that item.

Audio

Beam Sniper Rifles have new sound effects.
Added new racer sound effects.

Combat

The damage bonus cap from dual wielding has been increased from 30% to 50% but the rate at which you gain that bonus has been slowed down by roughly 25%. This means you will reach the cap more slowly, but have heavier bonuses at high skill levels.
Abilities using cone attacks use their longer cone distance, but properly check their attack range if setup to use weapon data (as most are). This should keep them from over reaching in some cases while still being able to hit NPCs with larger hit boxes (like hokfigs) as the distance checks obey hitboxes and the cone checks do not.
Melee Cone attack abilities had their cone angle increased slightly.
Crouch, Stand, and Prone abilities are now added to the first vertical ability bar when a new character is created. These abilities were always added to characters at creation but were not slotted previously. They are now slotted to make it easier for players to switch. Players who prefer not to have the vertical bar with these commands or the new Action Mode and RPG Mode commands can simply disable it.
New characters will now get a new RPG Mode and Action Mode ability icons. This allows players who do not like to switch using hotkeys or the middle mouse button to instead toggle modes from your action bars. These are added to a vertical bar on new characters.
Reduced the rate at which NPCs can dodge, block, or parry.
Reduced the duration of NPC paralysis.
Improved the Action Mode tip to make it more clear what the CTRL that the CTRL modifier is used to toggle defensive actions. In addition to this it also mentions that you can customize your deck through the Action Mode Editor.

Dens

Reduced the respawn rates of Fast Zone Wide dens, which are the most used outdoor spawners. These still spawns faster based on the number of players nearby, but the baseline spawn rate has been made slower. This should make things a little easier on solo harvesters.
Added dens specific to the new tutorial.

Engagements

Added six new engagements (two for each faction) centered around the battle for control of Fort Pharynx in the Shattered Heights. The engagements control the NPC spawns in the area. When one faction controls the base the other two factions have engagements that will reward them for conquering it.
Added a new battle engagement for the new tutorial. This features waves of enemies attempting to reach the wreckage site and is used as the players introduction to engagements.
Added a new three wave Vulture Infestation engagement to the Training Facilities.
The first time a player enters into an engagement they will receive a tip explaining how they work. This previously was only displayed in the training grounds engagement, and if players did not participate in it they would miss the tip.
Engagement now support faction specific messages for shared faction engagements.
The first time players an engagement (any engagement) they will now receive a tip explaining how engagement points and tracked and rewards automatically assigned.
Altered the way engagement rewards work in the new tutorial. They are still limited in comparison to real world engagements, but do now give some reward.
Decreased the duration of the Lull in the Action engagement.
Slighty increasd the amount of credits rewarded for each delivery in the "Freedomtown Needs Resources" engagement.
Amended wording of OWON Attacks engagement failure message to give a better description of what could have caused the failure.
You can now put out the fires from slightly further out when Freedomtown gets set ablaze.
Engagements can now add additional spawn points for a player who dies inside of the engagement area.
Reduced the buff bonus chances for each delivery for "Freedomtown Needs Resources" engagement.
Improved the description in the Sabotage engagement in Sept Falls.

Graphics

Improved grenade cloud textures.
Improved grenade cloud textures.
Updated some tent textures.
Updated the Lurker's texture map specular.

Housing

Removed trees and rocks from the Nimmerwald Housing area. This problem was created when Feldroon opened.
Using the /housing clear command will no longer clear out structure flagged as storage units.

Items and Fittings

Introduced a series of new low quality fittings that can be rewarded from easier missions and dropped from humanoid NPCs. These fittings are of the lowest quality, but are useful for starting characters.
Fittings can now affect the Momentum Cost of abilities.
Medical Scanners can now be dual wielded with other Melee weapons.
Rewrote most of the fitting activation code. It now supports more types of abilities, as well as supporting the use of prepped abilities.
The Ratliff Special Sniper Rifle no longer comes pre-configured with fittings, but instead is now more effective against light and medium armor than other sniper rifle variations, at the cost of being less effective against heavy armors. It is still more effective against heavier armors, just by a smaller margin.
Common Lesoo collectibles have been added to Lesoo loot drops. These can be given to certain lesoo item collectors in exchange for credits.
Item: "Gadgeteering for Cubs - The Manual". The Basic Crafting Tutorial explanations are too complex? The Tip window just keeps popping up when it shouldn't, and it's impossible to find when you need it most? Then "Crafting for Cubs", the complimentary manual the Crafting MentorBot will give you along with his explanations, is just your type of book: consult it anytime, any place, and right from the very same inventory window where you have all your crafting materials!
New tutorial items: Gizmos, Widget, and Gadgets. And the Crafting MentorBot will always be happy to give you more. Never again run out of tutorial crafting materials!
Changed the Beam Particle Accelerator fitting to Physical Penetration and tweaked the stats. They are still less than the normal. Also, changed it to an A socket to match the rest of the damage oriented fittings.
Toxinblock Injections, Dexterity Boosters, Confidence Boosters, and Thermalblock Injections had their vendor price reduced.
Adjusted stack size on Rocharus Tissue to 999.
Removed the Ability Enhancements that were removed from the system from the vendors so they were not selling deleted/broken enhancements.

Gurthnite can now stack up to 200 items in a slot.

Improved the locational FX system. The new system supports both client/server or client only, along with variable chances, and damage support.
Radio broadcasts now support faction variable text replacements.
Improved the loot code so players should not see the "That would be stealing" message if they were legitimate contributors on a kill.
Rest and Relaxation now gives a non-stackable 3% bonus to health, energy and endurance recovery. This is true for the rest and relaxation from both rest areas and player created camps.
Due to the additional size and functionality of the new tutorial, we have increased the maximum harvests of various species and maximum skill caps in the tutorial, in comparison to previous ones. Grades of harvests are capped though, and most missions are not repeatable.
Reduced the level of the Psychologist in Sept Falls so they can be tracked by entry level trackers.
In order to give lower skilled entertainers a better chance to achieve the "Plushroom Unknown" achievement, Lola Layetta has lowered her standards, making this easier.
Static Harvesters are now supported in instances and can be setup to work independently in each instance. This is primarily used in the new tutorial.
The OWON Trained and FPR Trained achievements now reward you with the title: Private rather than Recruit.

Missions now support some pre-requisites only being valid in certain areas.
Boosted rewards from combat missions.
Fittings are now a more common reward from missions.
Thicket Overwatch: Jeff Borromeo may deal with artifacts from the Dead City. Maybe. Or maybe not.

Plymouth: Steven Jackson will now offer loyal citizens the chance to experience a cop's life in Plymouth. Expands the Career Choices quest chain.

Across the seven quests of the "Leadership Mentor" mission chain, show your leadership skills by teaching your faction's soldier how to motivate, inspire, and utterly convince their squadmates that we've got this.

Banshee Hollow: Neegni Jinnd collects common lesoo item and does not deal with rare artifacts... but may know somebody who does. Or maybe not.
Kaavo Hold: Trader Robert O'Goobo tends to stay inside the city limits. But if you happen to go out there and bring back some crude lesoo weapons, or some of their quern stones, he'll be willing to buy them from you. Apparently some other people somewhere else like to collect them; Robert has no clue why, he is just the middleman.
Kaavo: word around is that Robert O'Goobo also trades in artifacts from the Dead City; or at least knows somebody that does.
Koleyna: bring crude lesoo weapons or lesoo domestic items to Lyle Vee and he'll take them from you for a good price.
Morale Boost, Big Morale Boost: two new Plymouth missions. OWON Morale would like you to improve the spirits of OWON citizens who are sad or depressed.
Along the seven quest of the "Protection Techniques" mission chain, show your faction soldier how to guard, protect, and shield their squadmates, or how to taunt and humilate their foes tobecome the focus of their aggression.

As Sam Hudson would say, 80 percent of success is not being there. In the four-quests "Acrobatics" mission chain, teach your faction's soldiers how to run, roll, regain balance and not be where the blow lands. Moods & dilemmas will swing based on sucess, failure, or refusal to train them.
Thicket Overwatch: Jeff Borromeo is now willing to buy common Lesoo objects like crude weapons and household items, if you have them for sale.

Tutorial: Bounty Hunter, Pond Lurkers. Lieutenant Kornwyle is willing to pay you in credits rather than tips, if you manage to get rid of some lurkers threatening the fishermen near the lakes. The missions is shareable, so if lurkers are a bit too tough, feel free to bring friends.
Tutorial: "Wanted: Wildo Rogan". Players that have accepted the Bandit job from Lieutenant Kornwyle may receive by mail and additional target: bandit leader Wildo Rogan.
Training Facilities: The Crafting MentorBot will gift you with your very own Rookie Starter Harvesting Tools Bundle, containing a saw, a machete, a mining drill, and a tiny water harvester.

The second part of the Harvesting and Crafting tutorial: "Harvesting and Crafting - Harvesting and Minerals": After completing the first part ("Wood and Water"), the Crafting MentorBot will offer the continuation. Another catch: some of these resources shoot back. A great teaching incentive, to get the wonderful Type A Firearms Fitting that you'll be able to craft as soon as you finish this tutorial!
Training Facilities: Dr. Peters wants bandits recloning as far away as possible... their DNA samples may make it easier to keep the undesirables away; bring him a batch of bandit DNA for a reward.
Training Facilities: added a Bastet Barca kill mission; generated, non-repeatable, requires the Tolley's Mesa exploration achievement (solely so it's a bit harder to receive, no other connection)
New tutorial book: "Crafting for Cubs - the Manual". Doesn't it irk you when NPCs babble and babble for babble's sake? Then this manual is just what you need: all what the Crafting MentorBot has to say in the "Harvesting and Crafting Tutorial", but only a third of the wordcount. Amazing time saver!
Tutorial: vulture numbers need to be kept in check; Lieutenant Kornwyle has the perfect seek and destroy mission for combat-oriented clones tired of drills and training, and in need of some real action... and a bit of creds.
Updated the Bandaging the Wounded tutorial. Removed the text message and updated his dialog to make it clear that you didn't need to keep bandaging him.

And, unlike the previuos stingy Workshop Supervisor (only willing to give you resources once), the Crafting MentorBot's endless supply of Gizmos and Widgets will allow you to practice as much as you need!

Introduced a new trap detection and removal tutorial for the new tutorial which has players clearing a minefield.
The Taming tutorial no longer gives you cards of Feed Animal and Tame Animal. It directly trains those abilities instead.
Tutorial Area: are your feet your only carriage? Talk to Nahuel Bismutt: he is willing to trade a large number of fitting modules, or an even larger quantity of calibrite, pyrite and hudson fir wood for one of his (slow) vehicles
Tutorial: Bounty Hunter, Bandits. Rather than a tons of tips, Lieutenant Kornwyle will give you good solid credits, after you get rid of some of those pesky bandits near the lakes. Bandits too tough to tackle alone? Then share the mission, of course!
Harvesting and Crafting tutorial: "Harvesting and Crafting - Advanced Tips" and "Harvesting and Crafting - Wood and Water". After completing the Basic Crafting tutorial, the Crafting MentorBot will be more than happy to offer this two-part tutorial. One catch, though: this time you'll have to get the materials yourself. That's what "harvesting" means, after all!
Training Facilities: Nahuel Bismutt has a gadget, gizmo and widget delivery job that won't require you to leave town.

The Investigate the Sewers mission now supports long range markers.

Gave NPC medics a new Biospray attack.
Gave new abilities to Ash Drakes.
NPCs with the profession of Robotics Engineer (there are about a dozen worldwide at this time) now have a special pickpocketing spec that includes many various robotics-related parts as well as the advanced robotics manual.

Kalazar: Stubborn Private Ajam Najazdour and gung-ho Private Nathaniel Ramirez are now stationed at Checkpoint Tolley in Nettle Patch; probably trying to make sure no drake from Shackleford decides to take a trip to Fort Bondsteel. Ajam says he holds Bondsteel record of 'most cloned'; Nathaniel likes axes, and dislikes those pesky cacti that give Nettle Patch its name.
Workshop Supervisor, Fort Bondsteel in Kalazar. Added to the Workshop.
Added a crafting mentor bot to the workshop of Fort Bondsteel in Kalazar.
Sergeant Tyler Osborne, Souza Spring in Kalazar. Commander of the Souza Patrol Tower; there to prove himself by protecting Fort Bondsteel's water supply.

Kalazar: Helpful Private Vickie Black and tough Specialist Paco Derbaud now patrol Checkpoint Rockwell in Nettle Patch, guarding the passage to Bleakburn. Paco spent several years in Scorched Gorge Outpost; if you ever get attacked by tumblers, this is the guy you want to last-stand with. Black is tough, fair and a pretty normal person for around here... wonder why she requested a transfer to here?
Crafting Supplies Bot, Fort Bondsteel in Kalazar. Added to the Workshop.
Private Jamondel Diome, Souza Spring in Kalazar. He is part of the Souza Tower Patrol; good guy, take him at face value.
Ludmilla Adamchuk, Fort Bondsteel in Kalazar. She's the FPR Hunting Rep for Kalazar.

Pets

Removed the genetically engineered pets from pet food vendors.
Corrected some issues with pets not attacking from long range.

Player vs. Player

New PvP engagements were added in the Shattered Heights. These center around Fort Pharynx and include controllable turrets. Each faction can fight for control of the base, but only one can control it at a time. Owning the base will spawn bounty collectors, vendors, and props which you can use, as well as friendly soldiers and turrets. It will also grant you access to missions.
Tweaked bounty military experience rewards to set them at the same rate of experience per insignia no matter how many you turn in. So 4 for 1, 100 for 25.
Added a new Fully Protected area type. This type is used to mark special case places like the new tutorial where PvP is completely protected no matter which faction you are a member of or your PvP flags. It is currently only used in the new tutorial.

Points of Intrigue

Added a new Point of Intrigue that is exclusive to the new tutorial. All that needs to be done is to clear it of NPCs and then it becomes a shrine that offers players buffs for venturing to it. It has a much shorter duration than other points of intrigue.
Corrected a bug which was preventing Conquest Points of Intrigue from working properly.

Resources

Surveying speed is now twice as fast (takes half the time so 5 seconds to 2.5 seconds) and increased the unit discovery distance 10-20%.
Adjusted the surveying math a little. It is a bit more friendlier toward lower skills while still giving good bonuses for those with higher skills. The increase for being closer to the resource was tweaked so it gave a bigger bonus for being nearly on top of it.
Adjusted enhancement and enrichment rates for whack-a-nodes (and corpse enhancement), slightly increasing the effect of high or low harvest skills. Adjusted the time to enhance/enrich, such that high skills will result in slightly quicker times, and low skills will result in slightly slower times.
Survey now displays the level/difficulty of a region.
Gain of Skill and Knowledge when extracting has been updated. It should be significantly harder now to gain past Grand Master in both and difficulty/level of the resource should now be properly referenced in the check.
You now are able to use a water harvester at 0 skill points. This means you get an extra water harvester to use as a result (so max 5 vs max 4 of other resources).
Adjusted the skill progression requirements for extra harvesters to better match the skill mastery levels. It is now 0 (water only), 200, 900, 2100, 6000.
Adjusted harvest enhance and enrich rates, to be more reasonable at the higher skill levels.
Improved the calculations for the extraction grade ranges of corpses. The ranges should be generally higher than before.
You will now receive an info message and a banner message if you are online and a harvester is full.
Auto equip of harvest tools will now work for tools in your inventory containers.
Although rare, generated Lumber and Plant resources can now spawn in Amiuyoi.
There is now a hint that pops up the first time you corpse extract or harvest a resource.
Added a hint the 1st time you try to extract something without a tool.
Crafting tutorial: added resource regions for Hudson Fir (2), Kupletskite, Calibrite (the resources needed in the Harvesting Tutorial)
There are now 10 static water harvesters placed near the Pond in the Training Facilities.
Reshaped the Falasium spawning region in Scorched Gorge.
Adjusted the resource regions in Fanshaw Hollow to elminate problems with resources spawning on hills or inside of rocks.
Made adjustments to the resource regions outside of Freedomtown's southern gate so they cover more area and can not get stuck underneath rocks or terrain.
Corrected the display of harvest and species skill bars on the extraction window, so that high skills (relative to the node's current grade) will properly fully fill the bars.

Skills and Abilities

In the event that a player logs out while having pending card rewards the rewards will be selectable when they log back into the game. This aids in situation where users accidentally close the card reward window, or need to close it quickly.
Improved stealth math to enhance its effectiveness. It should be easier to move around and near NPCs now.
Distance has a much larger effect on Stealth now than was previously the case.
You will no longer gain skill from immobile NPCs or objects when you are out of the range which they an affect you. This prevents a problem where players were exploiting these NPCs from out of range.

Bandage Wounds's effect was cleaned up. It now heals 40 HP every 3 seconds, before it had an uptick effect that healed more once the effect was getting closer to being up. Was a bit confusing so removed it.
Increased Bladed Weapon skill gain rates.
Warning Shot (Handguns) now requires a pistol to use.
Training Points were being given out on recipes based on the wrong numbers (they were fixed recently). The values were fixed and also fixed to properly work with the multiple gain code.

Scrounge for water now has a 0 skill requirement.

Crafting recipes can now have variations that depend on different quantities of the same ingredients, e.g. to make different sizes of a similar product.

Recycled Fitting recipes were broken into 2 recipes. The new tier 1 recipe requires refined metal, a recycled module, a pattern, and glue.

The initial Fitting recipes for melee/armor/firearms now starts at 200 points of 0 to steer players toward the recycled ones.

They do allow players to have access to vehicles more quickly and easily than was previously the case, however.
