EdNote: Sorry for the lack of update, but I was with high fever yesterday (13/03). In the mean time, ElminsterAU is still working on bringing xedit to a state that it can read the new changes Bethesda did in their file format. We cannot bring you an ETA yet, but the update is really massive, so it will surely take some time.

14/03 Update: Just to give a scale of this patch…
The whole .esm file contains 4.330.797 records.
Patch v1.1.0.8 contains 290.980 edited records (changes/additions).
Patch v1.0.6.0 contained 628 edited records.
Biggest patch until now was v1.0.3.10 with 48.003 edited records.

You can see that this starts to go beyond the scope of a logical monolithic changelog. We are investigating alternatives and how we can process such a vast amount of edited records.

18/03 Update

/u/despotak: Due to family issues, I do not have the time to work on the community patch notes for some time. If anyone wants to take over and help /u/Roby65 with that, you are welcome to join our discord, and leave a message so I can give you push permissions to the repository.

Patch 7 Highlights

We’re gearing up to release Patch 7 next week, and it contains the first wave of Wild Appalachia game content—including the new Brewing and Distilling crafting system and quests we previewed last week—as well as balance and design changes, and a ton of bug fixes. Full patch notes will be available on patch day, but here are a few highlights we’re excited to share with you:

Energy and Heavy Weapon Balance: In Patch 7, we’re making some adjustments to greatly increase the durability of many energy and heavy weapons and increasing their damage so you can take down enemies more easily, spend less time repairing, and more time looting. Here are the details:

• Energy Weapons
  • For heavy and semi-auto energy weapons, we’ve greatly reduced the amount of condition damage they take per shot. Your heavy energy weapons should now last four to five times longer, and semi-auto energy weapons should last twice as long before needing repairs.
  • We’ve also given semi-auto energy weapons an additional damage boost of +10% so they have a little more bite.
• Heavy Weapons
  • We’ve reduced the fire-rate for high rate-of-fire automatic heavy weapons across the board and increased their damage by +10%. Adjusting these weapons’ fire-rates gave us more room for a damage increase, which will help them punch through armor more effectively without increasing their baseline damage per second too high.
  • Weapon damage for all other automatic heavy weapons has been increased by 10% to 20%.
  • Like energy weapons above, we’ve significantly reduced the condition damage that automatic ballistic heavy weapons take per shot, and they should now last about four times longer before they need to visit a weapons workbench.
• We know that many of you have also been asking for weight changes for heavy weapons. While we haven’t addressed this in Patch 7, we do plan to make improvements with a future update and we will let you know as soon as we have more details to share.

C.A.M.P. and Workshop Budget Adjustments: In Patch 7, we’re planning to make adjustments to the C.A.M.P. and Workshop budget system that should allow you to build even bigger and fancier Wasteland abodes.

• The amount of budget space that some buildable objects consume, such as Turrets and Lights, has been reduced, but they now also have a maximum amount that can be placed in your C.A.M.P. or Workshop. The build menu recipes for these objects will show you how many are already present in your C.A.M.P., including the ones you have stored, and the total amount of each you can place.
• There are several important aspects of C.A.M.P. and Workshop budgets we must keep in mind when making adjustments, including how objects are used by players, overall structure balance, and even game performance. While the above changes aren’t a direct increase to budget size, they should give you more overall budget space to build lots of cool stuff, while also allowing us the flexibility to further refine and improve balance and performance.

C.A.M.P. Placement Adjustments: Occasionally, when we bring new content to the game, it may need to be placed somewhere that was previously usable as a C.A.M.P. location. We can’t have C.A.M.P.s and quests occupying the same space and while we do our best to limit these cases, sometimes it’s unavoidable.

• Starting with Patch 7, and in future updates, we plan to add a few new “no-build zones” to the game world that will prevent players from constructing C.A.M.P.s in those areas.
• However, it’s possible some players may have already built in these locations before they became no-build zones. When this happens, affected players will be notified upon joining a world that their C.A.M.P.s can no longer be placed, and they will be given a free C.A.M.P. placement as a result. We don’t expect this will impact most players, but we hope this free move will help you find a new home for your home.

Challenge Tracking: With Patch 7, we want to make challenges easier to keep an eye on as you make progress toward completing them, so you always know when that next reward will be on its way into your pocket.

• We’re adding a new challenge tracking interface to the Map, which you can use to quickly access the challenges menu whenever you’d like.
• As you scroll through your available challenges, you can now select and add them to the tracker, which will update as you make progress toward completing each one.
• Additionally, you will also receive a notification in-game whenever you make progress toward one of the challenges you’ve added to the tracker.

Wild Appalachia

• New Questline – Wasted on Nukashine
  • Begin this questline by finding and reading one of the Party Invitation Posters that VTU students have plastered throughout Appalachia, including at Train Stations, to join in the revelry.
  • Party Invitation Posters are also available for free in the Atomic Shop until 9:00 a.m. EDT on April 9. Once claimed, you can place the poster in your C.A.M.P. and read it to begin the quest.
• New Crafting System – Brewing and Distilling
  • A new Brewing Workbench has been added that you’ll learn to build by completing the Wasted on Nukashine questline. Use it to craft a variety of new Wines, Spirits, Beers, and Mixed Drinks that will temporarily apply positive and negative effects when consumed.
  • Several Brewing and Distilling Daily and Weekly Challenges have also been added.
• New C.A.M.P. Object – Fermenter
  • Some drinks require fermentation time before they’re ready to be consumed. Wines and Spirits can also be aged further to gain additional, more powerful effects.
  • The Fermenter C.A.M.P. object has been added to aid in this process and can be unlocked by completing Wasted on Nukashine.
  • Brew up a new batch of drinks using the Brewing Workbench and then use the Fermenter to select those concoctions and age them twice as fast.
• New Daily Quests – Brewing and Distilling
  • Once per day, after you’ve completed the Wasted on Nukashine questline, you can speak to Biv to continue experimentation and occasionally learn new recipes.
  • Sometimes, you’ll be asked to imbibe various types of alcohol and perform specific tasks. Other times, you’ll learn a new recipe and will need to craft the brew to Biv’s satisfaction.
• New Seasonal Event Quest – Fasnacht Parade
  • This repeatable, limited-time event will be available for one week, from March 19 - 26.
  • Travel to the town of Helvetia to aid the local Protectrons as they prepare for the annual Fasnacht celebration and parade. Guide the bots to the end of their parade route to claim new loot, which may include new C.A.M.P. plans, and gain a chance to earn a fantastic Fasnacht mask.
  • There are many Fasnacht masks up for grabs, and some are exceedingly rare. Trade with your friends to acquire any particular mask that catches your eye.
• Check out our recent articles on Fallout.com to learn more about Brewing and Distilling and the Fasnacht Parade Seasonal Event.

General

• Server Maintenance: The messages displayed when servers are taken offline for maintenance have been updated:
  • The message displayed when an individual server is shut down for maintenance is now: “Please join another World. This World will be undergoing maintenance soon.”
  • The message displayed when Fallout 76 is brought offline for maintenance is now: “Game Services are shutting down for maintenance soon.”

Atomic Shop

• Change Appearance: Players can now preview Atomic Shop items while navigating the in-game Change Appearance menu.
  • After entering Change Appearance from the menu on the Map, Atomic Shop items such as hairstyles and tattoos will now populate the list of appearance changes that players can preview.
  • Select an item and then choose “View in Atomic Shop” to open the Atomic Shop and unlock that item using Atoms.
• Workbenches: Players can now also preview Atomic Shop items, such as paints, headwear, and outfits, from the list of craftable items that appears after entering a Workbench.
  • This functions much like previewing Atomic Shop items in a Workshop, or in the Change Appearance menu as mentioned above.
  • Additionally, a toggle has been added that players can use to show or hide unowned Atomic Shop items in a Workbench’s craftable item list.

Balance Changes

• Energy Weapons: The amount of condition damage heavy energy weapons take per shot has been greatly reduced, and they should now last 4 to 5 times longer before needing repairs.
• Energy Weapons: The amount of condition damage semi-auto energy weapons take per shot has been reduced by half, and they should last twice as long before needing repairs.
• Energy Weapons: Base damage for semi-auto energy weapons has been increased by 10%.
• Heavy Weapons: High rate-of-fire automatic heavy weapons have had their fire-rates reduced across the board, and weapon damage has been increased by +10% to maintain their original damage per second.
  • Dev Note: For high rate-of-fire heavy weapons, we wanted to drastically increase their effective damage per second against armor without pushing their baseline damage per second too high. This change in fire-rate provided room for a damage increase to help punch through armor more effectively.
• Heavy Weapons: Weapon damage for all other automatic heavy weapons has been increased by 10% to 20%.
• Heavy Weapons: The amount of condition damage automatic ballistic heavy weapons take per shot has been reduced by 75%.
  • Dev Note: We hope that some of these adjustments for energy and heavy weapons will help your guns feel more useful, from their durability to their ammo consumption rates. We know that some in the community have also been asking for weight changes for heavy weapons. While we haven’t addressed that in today’s patch, we do plan to make improvements with a future update and we will let you know as soon as we’re ready to share more details.
• Flux: Different types of Flux have had their weights and sell values adjusted:
  • Stable Flux: Base value increased to 100 Caps.
  • Raw Flux: Base value reduced to 10 Caps.
  • Inert Flux: Weight reduced to 0.2 pounds, base value reduced to 0 Caps, and can no longer be sold to Vendors.

C.A.M.P., Crafting, and Workshops

• Budget Adjustments: Some C.A.M.P. objects, such as Turrets and Lights, now consume far less budget, but also have a maximum amount that can be placed in a C.A.M.P. or Workshop.
  • These object recipes in the crafting menu now display how many of that item have already been built by the player in a C.A.M.P. or Workshop, including how many they have stored, as well as the maximum amount that can be placed.
  • Dev Note: Adding a max count to certain objects allows us to reduce those objects’ budget costs, while allowing us to keep an eye on their specific usage, as well as balance and performance. As a result, you’ll be able to build more stuff, and we’ll have more flexibility to refine and adjust C.A.M.P. and Workshop structure balance and performance.
• C.A.M.P. Placement Adjustments: Occasionally, new game content may need to occupy a space in the world that was previously usable as a C.A.M.P. location. When this occurs, a new no-build zone will be placed in that spot, preventing players from building there in the future.
  • If a player’s pre-existing C.A.M.P. location would overlap a new no-build zone on joining a world, a notification will now inform them that their C.A.M.P. cannot be placed, and they will be given one free C.A.M.P. placement.
• C.A.M.P.: Several additional environment objects, such as grasses, ferns, and swamp fungus, will now disappear when the player builds C.A.M.P. objects on top of them.
• Radios: Classical and Appalachia Radios can now be crafted and placed in C.A.M.P.s and Workshops.

Design and Gameplay

• AFK Timer: The timer that disconnects players after a period of inactivity is now 25% longer when sitting or sleeping.
• Carry Weight Limit: A new “Destroy” option will now appear in place of the “Drop” option when a player who has exceeded the absolute maximum weight limit of 1,500 pounds plus the character’s current carry weight views items in their inventory.
  • Selecting this option will destroy the selected item. This can be repeated with additional items until the player’s total weight meets or falls below the absolute limit.
  • While above the absolute weight limit, items can no longer be dropped, traded, or consumed. They can only be kept or destroyed.
  • Dev Note: As part of our ongoing quest to improve the game’s overall economy, performance, and address items created as a result of exploit abuse, we’ve decided to implement a “Destroy” option for players who have surpassed the absolute weight limit. This should also help reduce cases of excessive item hoarding, as well as prevent duped items from being dropped and making their way into unsuspecting players’ hands.

User Interface

• Challenge Tracking: A tracker has been added to the Map to help players take note of their current active Challenges at a glance, and enable them to monitor progress on the Challenges they choose to track.
  • Players can now access the Challenges menu directly from the Map and selecting a Challenge from the list will add it to the tracker.
  • Open the Map at any time to view any tracked Challenges, as well as progress toward Challenge completion.
  • Notifications will now display whenever progress is made toward a tracked Challenge.
• Player Reporting System: A new “Report Player” option has been added, and will appear below the “Block” option upon clicking a player’s name in the Social Menu.
  • Clicking “Report Player” will open a reporting menu that features several reporting options, including: Cheating/Exploiting, Harassment, Offensive Name, and Real-World Threat.
  • Some reportable behaviors may fall under one of these categories. For example, offensive language can be reported using the Harassment category, and scamming or using bots can be reported as Cheating/Exploiting.
  • Selecting one of the above reporting options will send a report to the Bethesda Customer Service team for further investigation.
• Main Menu: The background video that plays while viewing the Main Menu has been updated with a new Wild Appalachia themed video.
• Main Menu: The Atomic Shop option on the Main Menu will now appear greyed-out with a loading spinner until the Shop is fully loaded.
• Chat Volume Setting: A new Chat slider has been added to the Audio Settings menu and can be adjusted to increase or decrease the volume of incoming voice chat.
• World Radios Setting: A new World Radios slider has been added to the Audio Settings menu and can be adjusted to increase or decrease the volume of all in-world radios. The existing Radio Volume slider has been renamed Pip-Boy Radio, and both settings can be adjusted independently of one another.
