Maintenance

• Memory leak: since 1.30 the server slowly eats memory until the host shuts it down, even when empty. That's why restarts are every 4 hours. I'm testing one suspect at a time; animals and motorbikes are already ruled out.
• Mod cleanup: several small mods are being folded into our own mod. We go from 32 mods to about 29, so less to download and less to break on DayZ updates.
• Leftovers from the old PripyatGamma map are being cleaned out.

World overhaul

• Radiation zones replace the vanilla toxic gas, from light doses to areas you won't survive without a full NBC suit. Treat sickness with anti-radiation tablets and injectors, and use dosimeters, decontamination showers, and soap.
• Medicine: new medical supplies, a medical-only first aid kit, a belt or vest med kit, and pouches for your gas mask and NBC gear.
• Base fortifications: a new mod with reinforced doors, shutters, barricades, fort walls, gates, and a watchtower.
• New mutants around the radiation zones.
• Earplugs: a key to turn game sounds down. Voice chat and radio stay at full volume.

Wipe

• The new mods need a fresh start, so the server will be wiped when it reopens. Characters, bases, stashes, and vehicles will all be reset.

I'll make another post when the server is ready for survivors.

New mods

• I switched the map to Pripyat Delta. It's the same terrain with all the same buildings.
• Motorbikes: The new vanilla mopeds and dirtbikes are now in the server.
• Acoustic guitars: Working guitars that let you play music and tab sheets.

What you need to do

• Join through the DZSA Launcher and let it download the new mods.
• You can unsubscribe from PripyatGamma since we don't use it anymore.
• No wipe was necessary. Characters, bases, stashes, and vehicles are all where you left them.

If something is broken, let me know on Discord.

Fix incoming

• I'm switching to Pripyat Delta. Same author's new version of the map, built for 1.30.
• Before the switch I'll check that our custom changes work with the new terrain.
• I'll make another post with a date, what you need to download, and whether we need a wipe.

Expected downtime

• The server is now locked while I work on it.
• I hope to have the changes tuned and tested by Saturday, October 24 so we can playtest during the weekend.
• Playtest will be password-protected and the password shared on Discord.

Joining

• Join through the DZSA Launcher and let it update your mods. The auto-run mod has a new name, UnlimitedALe.
• You don't need the Badlands DLC. None of its content is used on this server.

What's new

• The Apocalypse Mustang is out there somewhere. Only two exist at a time.
• New vehicles now spawn with manual gearboxes. The Humvee is the only exception.
• New weapon colors from 1.30: CZ527, SKS and Mosin variants, a tan Mlock, plus the police baton.
• Melee attacks cost stamina again. Running, sprinting and climbing stay unlimited.

News from my bunker

• From now on I post the news myself on the website and to our Discord.
• You can follow in any feed reader with the RSS feed.
