SURVIVE! 1.8.2 [The Last Broadcast Update]

• Introducing Wasteland Jockies!

• Once you fix the Communications Tower, you’ll hear new broadcasts over the waves.

• You’ll hear either Dustwave, a post-apocalyptic radio jockey, Brother Static, a raving mad pastor, or a defunct Civil Notices broadcast (Municipal Alert Channel). These will trigger randomly in the form of notification.

• You can choose to opt out of The Last Broadcast notifications if you’d prefer not to have them, by choosing ‘Mute Last Broadcast’ in the pie menu on your sim.

• There are plenty of new flavour notifications for these broadcasts so you’ll rarely hear them twice!

• New radio channel! Comes with several custom made tracks from pre-existing EA assets, from pre-apocalyptic news broadcasts to Brother Static’s rants and Dustwaves chatter! Requires https://lot51.cc/mods/custom-channel-injector

• Dustwave, Brother Static & the MAC follow a loose storyline to add some extra fun little bits of lore to the mod. Dustwave & Brother Static will also reference the other in-mod characters, Doc The Wasteland Medic, Longshot & Marsh the Trader.

• You can also hear their broadcasts from any in game radio.

• I’ve also added the option of your own sim becoming a wasteland jockey! They can work their way up the new Wasteland Jockey skill by broadcasting once a day, reading the new ‘Broadcasting for Dummies’ skill book which can be scavenged (or bought pre-apocalypse from bookshelves), or practicing your broadcasting on the radio device.
  (Everything for Wasteland Jockies is available on the [LN] Radio Device which can be bought from B/B mode.)

• Pick your own Callsign and all notifications of your broadcasts will use it.

• As you work up the skill, you unlock the options to broadcast about different things, such as tips for survival and weather broadcasts which use the real in game weather forecast.

• Most exciting, once you reach level 5 you can write your own broadcasts! And they have a 25% chance of popping up as a notification when you next enter another household in the save.

• New Perk - Wasteland DJ. Find the perk book ('Mic Check or Die Trying’) or buy from the rewards store, this perk skill reduces the cooldown time between broadcasts.

• New milestone notifications when checking days survived on 10, 25, 50 & 100 days.

• Cheats:

  • survive.empty_streets toggle (Turns the empty streets on/off)

  • Added ‘Summon Necros’ interaction to the survive cheats pie menu to summon Feral Necros to the lot.

Bug Fixes

• Tuned down the chance of injury from scavenging/hunting

• Stopped washing in sink from autonomy completely, as it wouldn’t behave.

• Walkby sims & bills are now handled/prevented via cleaner python (less likely to break on updates)

• Phone calls & texts also handled/prevented via python now which means new EA ones don’t need to be patched out every time.

• Added ‘The Last Broadcast’ upon fixing comms tower

• Fixed an issue where rad puddles caused LE

• Sims should no longer want to go outside and play in rad puddles when rad storm is active

• Dramanodes are now also handled by python. This feature is still in testing, so please report if you get any festival notifications or things of that nature.

• Fixed the percentages of the chances to get injured when out scavving/hunting and chance of infection. (EA’s percentages are so complicated, jeez.)

• Fixed the thirst moodlet icons.
