A21.2 B14 EXP Update Brings Perma Death Setting

Alpha 21.2 b14 Experimental is out!

Today The Fun Pimps bring to you A21.2 with an all new “Death Penalty” setting, allowing you to choose between different penalties for someone’s demise, including a total wipe of your character.

For dedicated servers you will need to have this line in the serverconfig to start fresh or continue an old save:
<property name=”DeathPenalty” value=”1″ /> <!– Penalty after dying. 0 = Nothing. 1 = Default: Classic XP Penalty. 2 = Injured: You keep most of your debuffs. Food and Water is set to 50% on respawn. 3 = Permanent Death: Your character is completely reset. You will respawn with a fresh start within the saved game. –>

To opt in and give feedback follow these steps:

Right click on the game in steam
Click on properties
Click the “betas” tab
The drop down menu will have latest_experimental available <— you want THAT
Select that and wait for the game to download

They wish everyone a lot of fun with this experimental version!
