V3.1.0 Henpocalypse Experimental Update!

The version 3.1.0 Henpocalypse update is available in experimental form on Steam. The stable version will follow after critical bug fixes during the experimental phase.

Important notes:

• Sandbox options for enemy and animal density and respawn rates have been split into day and night settings. Check preset codes for validity; invalid codes may default settings. Official presets have been updated.
• A late localization update to the chicken coop input tooltip mistakenly mentioned chickens as an input value (the coop does require chickens for production). A localization update for additional languages will come in a future update.
• Game saves should be compatible, though new games are recommended. Saves can be backed up via the Manage Saves function.

• Chicken farming: Capture chickens by sneaking up or chasing, defend them from zombies back to base, place in Chicken Coop workstation for eggs and feathers.
• Chicken Coop tool slots:
  - Brooding Lamp: Speeds up production and chicken maturation
  - Chicken Run: Lets chickens hunt bugs, cutting feed cost by 50%
  - Nesting Box: Unlocks chicken breeding and adds nesting slots
• Feed chickens with crafted ‘Rekt’s Chicken Feed’ (Corn and Rotting Flesh).
• Chicken Stress event mechanic: At 100% stress, you drop the chicken and a special event triggers based on game stage (e.g., angered zombies or angry chickens). Sandbox option available.
• Four new chicken-centric recipes:
  - Chicken Nuggets: Grilled meat, feathers, corn meal, animal fat – temporarily removes encumbrance
  - Chicken Wings: Domesticated chickens, corn meal, eggs, oil, honey – temporarily boosted melee damage and infection immunity
  - Ash Chicken Stew: Domesticated chickens, mushrooms, corn, coal, water – no smell to zombies
  - Roadrunner Chicken Jerky: Domesticated chickens, yucca fruit, nitrate powder, beer – temporarily boosts run speed
• The Big Beak cosmetic outfit will come with the stable release.
• New Sandbox Settings (existing custom presets may require updating):
  - Chicken Coop Time (speed of production)
  - Chicken Coop Yield (amount per cycle)
  - Chicken Coop Input (feed per production cycle)
  - Chicken Stress Event (controls events)
  - Density and Respawn rates split into day/night options
  - Density and Respawn types split into enemy/animal
  - Infection Chance
  - Hunger Multiplier
  - Thirst Multiplier
