Alpha 14.6 Is Out!
Hey Survivalist,
We have a new build out for you with many fixes, optimizations and improvements.
Alpha 14.6 Official Release Notes.

Added: male cigarette slot for future cigarettes.

Changed: Updated drop behavior on rocketlauncher and shotguns.
Changed: Updated drop behavior of wooden bow and pistol.
Changed: Updated drop behavior of tools.
Changed: Reduced large first aid health amount per second
Changed: Zombie screamers now summon a “mini” horde every time they scream loudly. This puts pressure on the player to dispatch the screamer as soon as possible. The amount of zombies the screamer summons increases over weeks past, so a screamer on day 90 will summon some nasty zombies and lots of them. Screamers scream loudly about every 20 seconds so kill them quickly or you will have a large horde to deal with. Screamers also have a low chance to summon additional screamers.
Changed: Reduced food dropping as loot because players never had to worry about food.
Changed: Updated drop behavior of guns.
Changed: updated art on cotton plants

Known Issues
OSX: Default build crashes, use the latest_experimental_u52 build from Steam.
OSX with Intel GPU and most likely some Linux systems with Intel GPU: black terrain
Linux with AMD GPU and proprietary driver: Crash on launch. For some people running the game with “-force-gfx-direct” fixes this (add the parameter to the launch options in Steam). Alternatively if performance is good enough the open source driver should fix this too.
Windows with NVIDIA GPU: driver versions 34x.xx are reported to cause issues with Unity 5.3. If there are no newer drivers for your card try using latest_experimental_u52 build from Steam.
