SCUM developer, Gamepires, recently released a new update that fixed tons of known issues and improved the game with new QoL additions. For players who would spawn beneath the world after joining the game, expect to join next time with less worry after the patch added the fix. You can now move around normally upon joining.
Small tweaks for the crafting and repairing system may make your gameplay a little easier. You can now craft improvised rods with any rope and repair your melee weapons at improvised workbenches. Read the other changes introduced by this update.
