    Buildables:

    To help make the world feel more alive you can now place buildables from the level editor! This opens up several options such as fortifying a location for part of a map's story, while still keeping it available to destroy and build a custom base. While building in-game if you have the camera tools available you can now use the editor tools [F6] to get precise snapping and alignment just right, and work on creations that would usually be blocked. Pro tip: use Ctrl+B and Ctrl+N to copy paste positions/rotations to perfectly line up items like kitchen counters.

    NPCs:

    Yesterday I finally got started with NPCs! Right now the plan is to have a safezone out of the way on some maps where you can choose to visit and interact with the them - i.e. it's completely optional and you won't be running into AI bandits in the wild. I think it might also be a good reason to bring back the reputation system, where keeping a good rep is required for getting quests/trading (not offloading junk, more like the gunsmith is looking for high tier attachments/weapons) with most NPCs, and others a bad rep. Rewards for quests I'm thinking would include things like specially boosted weapons, otherwise unobtainable items and blueprints to craft modified items. Definitely this is very different for the genre, so I'll be keeping an extra close eye out for your suggestions/feedback. Personally I'm hopeful it will provide a lot more singleplayer and PvE content.
