2. Different types and qualities of flowers, as well as other fruits and vegetables, will yield varying honey collection efficiencies and Honey types. Save up and upgrade your hive to significantly boost your honey-collecting efficiency! We look forward to the day when you all reap a bountiful Honey harvest!

[Area Operation]
New Daily Mission [Mystery Path] is here! A strong infection signal has suddenly appeared in the tranquil Mystery Path, suggesting infected creatures lurking within. The situation is urgent—brave Survivors are now called to assist!
1. Mystery Path will open the day after the version maintenance, with Crusade Mode also becoming available;
2. During the operation, the durability loss of gear will be reduced by 90%, ammo reload cost is reduced by 90%, and durability loss when unconscious is reduced by 90%.

[New Gear]
1. New SSR Core for Shotgun: Heart-Piercing Thunder. When equipped, the Shotgun will fire an EM Bullet containing all pellets. The EM Bullet enhances itself upon hitting targets within 60 distance and splits into pellets after traveling 60 distance.
2. At 5 stars, Piercing Thunder generates an electric field when enhancing itself, continuously striking shield-recovering Survivors within range. Ideal for prolonged close-quarters combat and PVP against enemies with healing abilities.

[Profession Co-creation Season Adjustments]
Thank you to all Survivors for participating in the Profession Co-Creation Season. After the update, all participants will receive a surprise reward. We will continue to regularly adjust and optimize Professions to provide all Survivors with rich and engaging gameplay experiences.
1. To make the Sniper's attacks more effective in suppressing opponents, we have increased the coefficient of the Core Talent "Precision Devastation" when it inflicts the Devastation effect on players.
2. The Warrior's Iron Wall Defense Faction was too fragile when the barrier was not active, sometimes forcing players to deactivate it. Therefore, we have adjusted the minor non-head damage reduction effect in the "Steady and Firm" trait to be permanent.
3. To make the Spore Hunter's traits "Binding Vines" and "Tree of Regeneration" more viable in various combat scenarios, we have reduced the number of spores required for their charges and also decreased the area of effect for Tree of Regeneration.
4. To allow the Ark Knight's Swift Weapon Assault Faction more freedom in weapon selection, the damage boost for both Light and Heavy Firearms within 5 seconds after triggering the "Quick Draw" trait will now apply based on the higher value.
5. Weakened the combined effects of control abilities from multiple profession traits when stacked.
6. Fixed an issue where the Rifle trait "Overloaded Magazine" sometimes caused an additional shot to be fired after reloading under certain conditions.
7. Fixed an issue where the Warrior's trait "Strike First" sometimes dealt no damage with the first strike under certain conditions.
8. Fixed an issue where the Ark Knight's "Quick Draw" in Resonance Bullet state could not trigger the reload effect and sometimes abnormally triggered reload animations.
9. Fixed an issue where the Virus Master sometimes caused abnormal slowdown effects on teammates under certain conditions.
10. Fixed an issue where control effects from certain profession traits could not be removed by the Spirit Dragon drone.

[Winter Break Manor Construction Improvements]
Further enhanced the freedom of manor construction: Added three types of collision toggle settings under "Manor Construction - More Features" to meet Survivors' diverse building needs. Also introduced drone hiding and speed adjustment functions, improving the usability of drone construction.
1. Added a toggle to allow furniture to intersect during placement. When enabled, most furniture can overlap with other furniture during placement. (To ensure farming and breeding experience, planting/breeding-related furniture and structural components are unaffected by this setting and cannot overlap)
2. Added a toggle to allow furniture and structural components to intersect during placement. When enabled, most furniture can overlap with other structural components when placed.
3. Added a toggle to allow certain structural components to intersect with others during placement. When enabled, some structural components can overlap with others when placed. Due to the complexity of structural connection rules, to ensure a smooth building experience for Survivors, we've initially enabled reasonable overlaps between curved structures, as well as between roof and floor structures. We will continue optimizing more overlapping rules based on Survivors' feedback.
4. Added a toggle to display drone models. When drone display is disabled, movement will ignore building collisions in the manor, making construction more convenient.
5. Added drone speed adjustment during construction, allowing drones to move faster or slower. The default initial speed is 50.
6. Optimized the blueprint feature: blueprints with different foundation types than the current manor can now be edited, but building them still requires matching the current foundation type.
7. Improved manor management convenience: Added a one-click toggle for furniture lighting effects under Manor Construction - More - Better Controls.

[Other Improvements]
1. Increased the Album capacity in Profiles: The maximum number of saved photos has been raised to 50!
2. Added a "No Scope" option for non-Sniper Rifles that support scope configuration. Survivors can set weapons they don’t need scopes on to "No Scope" to reduce accidental triggers.
3. The Auto-sprint button no longer stays displayed. Auto-sprint can now be activated by dragging the movement joystick upward a certain distance. The required drag distance can be adjusted in Settings - Custom Controls by selecting the movement joystick.
4. Fixed an issue where Tactical Gear and certain class traits were not properly restricted in gameplay modes with progression limits.
