AN UNOFFICIAL CHANGE LOG

 

Hey folks, I'm gonna be super nice and do this for you all because I know most players are ignorant of the incoming changes. This list is meant to be comprehensive but it will surely lack detail and info.

 

If you know of a change that is not listed, PM it to me and I will edit this post to add the info. The only way this list can be complete is if people with knowledge contribute the missing information. I cannot gather it all on my own. I have included very few details about map changes as I am mostly ignorant of them. If someone could make a list of map changes and pm them to me I would happily update the map change section!

 

Objects:

 

Weapons:

 

SVD is a sniper rifle that can be found at military sites. It's a very bad assed gun.

 

VSS Vintores another bad ass gun. This one is an assault rifle.

 

UMP 45 yet another bad ass gun. This one is an SMG.

 

Mauser C96 Red 9 is a continuation of gun badassery. This one is a pistol.

 

IZH-18 Rifle... When will it end?... Can have shortened barrel with hacksaw for all your sawed off needs...

 

MISC:

 

Hand Drill made craftable from oak wood and a stick. Provides one time use fire by friction to replace matches for fire lighting.

 

Long Wooden Stick can be gathered from most trees with knife variant. Supplements ashwood stick functionality for crafting bows, fishing rods, and cooking meat on a stick.

 

Oil Barrel can be found and used as a large placable workd object used for storage and other functions. Can be used to dye clothing, create garden lime, tan leather with greater efficiency, and probably much much more!

 

Hunting Scope a 12x scope that can fit on most long rifles.

 

Mess tin. A tactical tin container with dinnerware and a skillet.

 

Radios can be found which can connect to the radio and play loud sounds and music for all to hear. (I have not found one of these either)

 

Candle can be found and apparantly turned on.

 

Clothes... Medical scrubs and a whole host of jackets and hunting clothes can be found.

 

Kashtan 2.8x Scope for AK variant rcan now be found.

 

Butane Canister can be found, probably blown up in a fire too. Purpose unknown.

 

Torch is in. Made form sticks and rags. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out

 

 

Mechanics:

 

The Eastern Suppressor now fits on an AKM, previously it only worked on the 74's and the 10. (information thanks to Barnabus)

 

Loot spawning mechanics are in constant change as the devs look to improve loot distribution

 

You can get food poisoning from eating raw or overcooked food again.

 

You can cook food over the open fire.

 

You can sprain your ankle

 

Objects take damage in the world now if struck (or shot?), and not just when they are on your person.

 

Bone Hooks can be used to CREATE LEATHER CLOTHING instead of the leather sewing kit.

 

Ovens appear to be bugged. Cannot create them. Perhaps removed in lieu of something better

 

Sharpening stacks of sticks all at once. Similar functions may exist for other item processing mechanics.

 

 

 

Map:

 

Foxes have been spotted, nobody is sure what they say just yet.

 

North Berezino updated, a School added which is complete with basketball courts and everything!

 

Stary Sobor updates include military tents and a survivor zone

 

A few random other changes like new buildings and a W.I.P town have been added as well

 

Removed some buildings from and and changed Chapaevsk (info thanks to Scarcifer)

That list certainly has more than what my list has. It seems pretty good.

 

I didn't know that the wiki had been updated. I've had some back luck with it in the past. Thanks very much though this is a great source. I'll update my own list here using their information soon-ish.

 

In the meantime everyone should check out that link, it is exhaustive.

I wouldn't call a VSS an Assault rifle, It's used as a DMR and behaves more like a carbine than a full sized rifle. Is it restricted to crash sites?

Also does the PSO-1 scope still fit AK rifles? I would be disappointed if it was coded to not be compatible any more.

The different variants of the PSO-1 are still compatible with the AKs, as is the C-1 scope on the VSS/SVD. They're just supposedly less useful now because they're actually built for 7.62x54mmR and 9x39 SP-6 rounds rather than general use as before. The only reason it would've been made incompatible is if they decided to have them permanently attached to the VSS and SVD and just removed it from the game as a separate item. Otherwise all compatible attachments will be usable, even if not useful (see BUIS on MP5K.)

 

And yeah, the VSS is more of a precision marksman rifle if anything. If it were the AS VAL then assault rifle would be appropriate but I don't think it describes the VSS very well.

You have to listen more carefully ;)

 

interesting list, thanks for compiling.

I try and keep it updated. Keyword: try. So does another regular contributor. I certainly can't know everything though ;)

First day of Patch... Fox...

[Kirov (DayZ) 585]

I have two questions about the above list:

 

1) How do you cure sprained ankle and in what circumstances does it get sprained?

 

2) What does it mean exactly about oil barrels used to 'created garden lime', 'tan with more efficiency'? And the wikipedia mentions dying clothes, does it apply to that leather DYI stuff as well?

1. It's just a "minor" injury version of a broken leg as I understand it. Not sure how it happens to people, seeing as I've been on 0.56/0.57 for months thanks to Experimental and never encountered this issue. Perhaps I'm overly careful... I dunno.

 

2. Oil barrels are multi-purposed in crafting. You can now put garden lime in the barrel and tan leather IN the barrel, but I'm not sure if it's actually required to use a barrel? I haven't tried yet in 0.57 without a barrel. As for dying clothes: you can dye basic (cotton) t-shirts, that I'm certain of -- they have to be bleached first, then they can be dyed using berries, bark, etc. I'll include the link to Peter's video below explaining how the basics work. Crafted leather items are able to be dyed, but I'm not totally sure what combinations work just yet; I know oak bark is used to dye leather "black" (more like really dark brown).

Thanks, that's actually really neat. As for crafting leather clothes - I did that in 0.57 without a barrel, like it used to be (lime + leather sewing kit). Maybe a barrel would streamline this, now you need like 7 cows' worth leather to craft the full set. Which is even not that extremely useful now, as the pants have only 2 slots, the jacket is not water proof and the entire set is in anti-camo colour. :)
