Iceflake Studios released Surviving the Aftermath: Rebirth DLC not long ago. This update not only brought new threats but also implemented significant changes, including one that prevents specialists from attacking too quickly via stutter-stepping.
Blighted Creatures are a menace in Surviving the Aftermath: Rebirth. The company wants to ensure that players utilize new buildings to deal with these threats. Previously, players relied heavily on specialists and guards as they could attack enemies very quickly by stutter-stepping. So, adjustments were made to their shooting and reload times so that they could no longer attack repeatedly.
In terms of improvements, the Society Trade UI now shows every resource the society has to offer instead of just displaying six resources at a time. The color red when placing buildings has been made brighter so players can easily tell if they can put the structure down in a particular area or not.
