Casualties: Unknown Release 1.0 adds layers 6-11, endings and two new characters

Casualties: Unknown has reached Release 1.0 on PC, and the patch notes are big. The headline additions are layers 6-11, endings, endless mode and two new playable characters.

The developer says the list is incomplete, with many smaller changes left out.

New content

• Layers 6-11, with new art for each layer on the worldgen screen
• Endings and two new playable characters
• Endless mode and dune mode
• Prosthetics, new traps, more plushies and some new items
• Item customisation, with colours and labelling (the crafting tutorial covers it)
• Lumalgae can now be boiled down into bio-chem
• Rewritten and expanded ePDAs, and their notes no longer repeat until you’ve seen them all
• More run settings and console commands, plus a switch between measurement units
• A wider hitbox for attacks, so you can still hit enemies you aren’t aiming directly at
• Opiate and venom readouts on the health panel, and an indicator for sound cannons

Balance and gameplay changes

• Adrenaline helps more: stamina regenerates slightly faster, high adrenaline stops energy hitting 0, and blood pressure is affected less
• Guns are more controllable, and solid buildings now stop bullets
• The amputation minigame is less punishing, works on non-infected limbs, and you can now have both legs amputated
• Antivenom and the soothing crystal shard are buffed, and digestion crystal shards also reduce toxicosis
• The drill repair kit recipe is simpler, and drill pods decrease player stats less
• A liquid safety area now surrounds you when you enter a new layer
• The lockpicking kit is used from anywhere in your inventory
• The material pouch only holds specific material items, but no longer has a small max weight restriction
• The campfire warms you up more, and the torch can now start fires
• The Elder no longer instantly retargets you if you hit it while it’s on cooldown
• Certain traps can now dismember

Fixes

• Stepping up blocks should be less buggy, and block effects more consistent
• The infection chance setting calculation is fixed
• Grabber plants no longer get stuck in the ground on spawn, and the player should no longer spawn inside liquids
• Trader dialogue no longer breaks when mindwiped
• Rich Presence timestamps are fixed
• Runtime now resets correctly between runs
• Double-clicking the tutorial no longer starts a normal run

Removals

The expanded default font was reverted due to issues. The developer also notes an attempt to remove Entity.
