Update V1.2.5 introduces a series of refinements aimed at improving stability, player convenience, and backend systems within Escape From Duckov. The auto save policy has been adjusted to reduce stuttering inside the base, the number of save slots has been increased, and several item and interface updates enhance usability. Wolves now deal less psionic damage, depleted items appear in trading menus, and some vendor stocks have been expanded. A few targeted fixes address display issues and missing drops to ensure smoother overall play.
This update also brings important improvements for mod creators and users. The load order system is now more reliable, save data tracks enabled mods, and warnings appear when configurations do not match. Enhanced mod recovery logic helps prevent item loss, while a new ItemBuilder API streamlines the creation of custom prefabs. Further adjustments to initialization and parsing systems reinforce the game’s commitment to robust modding support as the community continues to grow.
