Dead Rails Update Guide
We split our update guides into three main sections. The first section will cover major content changes. The second will discuss balance changes. The third will go over bug fixes and general QoL improvements.
Note: According to the official Discord, updates for Dead Rails are likely to switch to a bi-weekly schedule in order to give more substantive updates, with fewer bugs on launch.
