October 13 PC update 1.010
PC 1.010 is the latest announcement checked October 14. It reports the named Jack/banner/basement/inspiration fixes, many collision blocks, Belt Master gears, five population-based order slots, and controller, pickup and Battle Operation Potato Part I crash fixes. These are publisher statements, not a tested universal recovery.
tinyBuild’s support list checked October 14 says fix availability varies by platform. It still lists Jack missing near the Twins’ boat on consoles, Xbox UI/camera scaling and inaccessible PlayStation Builder’s Bag items. Removed older support entries do not establish their repair or Nintendo rollout completion; no complete platform version table or universal save recovery is supplied.
October 6 update 1.009 — scoped follow-up
Official update 1.009 was published October 6. It reports a save-loading crash fix and zombie/gardener work-station freeze fixes, plus corrections for the Sauna energy penalty and tier 2 oven tech-tree visibility in existing saves. These are specific developer claims, not a guarantee of recovery for every save. Check the installed build; no per-platform rollout timetable is given.
The same note says bait inside bags is found when fishing and fixes gamepad storage navigation with an open bag, Son of a Butcher organ/pocket bonuses and incorrect grape juice/wine Study Table surveys. It also names HUD/day rollover, nun-base upgrade, collisions, sermon and translation fixes. It does not announce a missing-console-bonus fix. Chest item loss is covered separately by the current 1.007 support note, with a Switch exception.
Update 1.007: iron supply delivery
The September 28 official Steam note says iron supply delivery quests getting stuck were fixed. This is a developer-reported 1.007 change; it does not identify each platform rollout or say every already-stuck save recovers. Check the installed version and report a repeatable failure with the save and exact board state. Kingy has not reproduced the fix.
Update 1.006: confirmed patch claims
The September 25 announcement says kitchen zombies no longer consume or burn ingredients without making the dish, and fixes oven zombie placement blocking the millstone. It adds in-game bug reporting for the Steam PC build. Demo-save milestones now unlock Steam achievements retroactively in the full game, and Defender’s Emblems can no longer be destroyed to soft-lock zombie squad unlocks.
The same notes say extra bag slots work for pickups and vendor purchases with a full backpack; static-price goods no longer double on first purchase; intermittent crashes at ultrawide and other non-standard resolutions and permanently stuck crop beds were fixed. It also names workstation collision, zombie work sound, grass effect, cinematic VFX and flagpole sound fixes. The announcement does not specify a per-platform rollout timetable except that the in-game report feature is Steam PC only.
Update 1.005: confirmed patch claims
The September 24 Steam announcement says 1.005 fixed the Study Table lockup after inserting an item for Science, a corpse-stuck Crematorium, prepared-body state resetting at the Resurrection Table, an incorrect resurrected-zombie animation and cases where eligible zombies could not be resurrected. It restores demolition in the resurrection zone and improves zombie craft skill and queue indicators.
The notes also name more chunks per sawn tree log, rebalanced Kiln and Furnace craft/fuel costs, improved performance at the top of the alchemy tower, a PlayStation zombie-limit hint and a Switch wheat animation fix. Quest hint, alchemy book, Inquisition UI, combat stairs and idle oven sound fixes are also listed. The announcement does not give a rollout timetable for each platform; check the installed version before applying the advice to a console save.
Still open or unconfirmed
The October 8 support snapshot documented platform exceptions for 1.007 and frozen saves. The current October 14 list supplies no complete replacement version table; removed entries alone do not prove repair. Check the current platform support and installed version.

What players are asking now
September 23 threads ask about Steam Deck stutter, whether fishing has a usable cue for colorblind players, voice-over versus mumbling, and where the pre-order sauna becomes accessible. The developer FAQ now answers the Deck rating, audio choice and bridge requirement; support has PC troubleshooting steps. The performance and fishing limits remain player reports, not confirmed fixes.
Earlier questions about zombie mining, Albert’s corpse request, Writing Desk stories, Jack’s iron order and early money remain in their linked guides.
What belongs here after launch
Add official patch notes, developer announcements, store corrections, and reproducible findings with platform, game version, date, affected system, and fix status. Community reports can flag an issue for follow-up; keep them labeled as reports until support or a reproduction confirms the cause.
Launch verification order
Check installation and save creation first, then platform-specific loading, text readability, controller input, map travel, Town restoration, crafting, zombie automation, combat, and save persistence. Promote a finding to the public guide only after it can be reproduced or is confirmed by the developer.
Post-launch support
The October 2 development post gives specific plans for future updates. It does not date their delivery; keep the announced changes separate from the shipped patch notes below.
Rumours stay out of the article
Community reports can point the testing team toward useful checks, but speculation about release symbolism, unannounced DLC, exact trailer mechanics, or launch performance is not a fact record. Unconfirmed observations are kept in the internal launch checklist instead.
October 2 PC update 1.008
Update 1.008 reports fixes for conveyor-related infinite save loading, bedtime crashes, firewood-holder zombie stalls, farming production and two progression blocks: Inflation/mercenary and Linda’s Ball completed before Beautiful Dream. Fast Travel Points can no longer be used during battle; the over-cap zombie Panic debuff was corrected.
The balance changes increase likes from Orders and vendor trading, reduce delivery crate requirements, raise the Happy Supplier bonus and increase Town Gratitude from battle wins. No replacement numeric table is published, so check current requirements rather than budgeting with a demo or launch-day value.
October 2 plans: announced, not confirmed shipped
The developer plans more conveyor gears, more sermon Faith, movable constructed workstations, helpers collecting output and restarting Kiln/Furnace crafts, and farmers collecting Peat and restarting Compost Heaps.
It also plans a Panic Reduction rework, population-based order slots, simpler trader upgrades, Astrologer Hypno-device recharging and zombie cremation. Update 1.010 now implements population-based order slots up to five; its Belt Master change increases gears, without confirming all conveyor or helper plans, and the post gives no release dates.
