Hey everyone!

Yesterday, Beta 0.3 finally released for all $5+ ZR2 Patrons!

Today, I updated those download links for Beta 0.3.1.

Along with a bunch of bug fixes, including 2 potentially game breaking issues, there were also a few gameplay tweaks I wanted to briefly mention.

Now that the game is requiring more from the player, balancing resources to find that 'sweet-spot' in difficulty is important. It seems that water and to an extent, food were a bit starved in this update.

So, I reduced some of the daily water/food requirements and two of the new constructions require a little less.

Also, I added a bunch of one-time hidden resource spots like in ZR1 so you can find some extra food/water/brick/metal around the maps. This should help the early game be less reliant on good luck so be sure to interact with shelves, barrels, etc!

This is just the start of making sure the game feels good to play from start to finish so I'll bwe making more balance tweaks in the future based on feedback. I do intend to bring back Hardcore at some point but not until the core game is already balanced.

Thank you all so much for play testing and reporting these issues! I hope this update is a fun one!
