Zero Sievert Update 0.28 Patch Notes
New Features
Radioactive rain
- The whole map becomes radioactive based on rain intensity. During radioactive rain the usual “visual noise effect” for radiation is deactivated.
Emission
- Special weather event that creates a burst of radioactive waves. Players can stay behind certain covers to avoid damage. Human NPCs will try to flee. At the end of the emission radioactive rain at max intensity will start, so you are warned, hunters.
Keybinding overhaul
- Players can now re-bind keys for all keys and mouse buttons.
Gameplay Changes and Quality of Life Improvements
- Santa armour and weapon are removed from the crafting table, but lights can still be crafted.
- The user can pay the barman to refill hunger and thirst.
- Money spent for services provided by NPC (healing, repair etc.) are added to the global trader money in the bunker.
- Hovering over the weight indicator in the inventory shows a coloured overlay for each item based on its weight.
- Hovering over the roubles indicator in the inventory shows a coloured overlay for each item based on its value. (In Bunker only)
- Items needed for craft are now shown in green/red to indicator if the required number are met.
- Clicking on a recipe now shows the skill and module required.
- Looting interaction tooltip “Loot” will appear greyed-out if the user has already looted that container.

- Detailed numbers on character stats (hunger, thirst, fatigue, radiation) when hovering the cursor over the UI will no longer show up if players hold the right mouse button to extend the aim.
- Keys for “get out of a collision” prompt changed from arrow keys to WASD.
New Settings
