We’ve witnessed incredible results from your endeavors over the last six months - groundbreaking research and professional creativity of the highest order!

After paying meticulous attention to the fruits of your creative endeavors, we offer the following guidance to assist your scientific efforts going forward.

There’s a lot of speculation around IS numbers and how they operate, so below are a few rules we use at GATE for classification, lore-keeping, and remaining consistent within our universe.

• GATE assesses all potential subjects for official immurement. Until such time as an IS becomes official (let's call it “canon”) it is under a different designation: IC.
  
  
• This classification is: Immurement Candidate (IC) and is assigned a four-digit reference number, for example: IC-1234.
  
  
• If you’re writing about a hypothetical candidate, please use the IC numbering system, instead of the IS numbering system, to help differentiate “canon” entities from “community created” entities.
  
  
• Typically these numbers should avoid any already in use by an IS, and it is always possible that GATE will announce an IS designation in future using that number, at which point any IC that uses it will, presumably, have to change.
  
  
• A reference number is unique and can be used only once. Consult the (SPOILER WARNING) ABF Wiki Immurement Registry[abioticfactor.wiki.gg] for a list of known entities that GATE has cataloged.
  
  
• IC’s are given provisional designations depending on their qualities and behavior, itemized on the Immurement Registry[abioticfactor.wiki.gg] page.
  
  
• There are no current limits to what GATE may consider an IC: objects, artifacts, organisms, events, certain locations or anteverses – even ideas – may be considered an IC.
  
  
• However, if you are researching a location, independent from our own local universe, it will most likely be categorized as an Anteverse, rather than an IC.
  
  
• Your findings increase and expand our understanding of the universe and realms beyond. You can post your own findings in the community-led GATE Collective[abioticfactor.wiki.gg] section of the Abiotic Factor Wiki. Please remember to respect the rules and regulations of the Wiki, both in the community-created content sections, and all official Wiki pages.

• New Hair Color: Bronze

• The Splintered Crossbow can now be salvaged.
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause multi-ammo-type weapons to fire the wrong ammo type.
  
• Changed the text color on Small Signs to be slightly more white to improve legibility.
  
• Fixed a bug causing the Small Sign’s durability value to be overridden with an incorrect (and much smaller) number upon taking damage.
  
• Fixed a bug causing caught fish or other fished up items to spontaneously disappear if the player has no room in their inventory. Fish and fished up items now drop on the ground if the player’s inventory is full.
  
• Fixed a bug preventing turrets from reliably firing at enemies if placed at a sideways angle.
  
• Fixed a bug that made players fly when using a Cloth Rope and Plant Rope deployed close together.
  
• Fixed a bug preventing the radiation glyph from appearing on radioactive items and containers with radioactive items in them.
  
• Potential fix for Cauldron bubbles disappearing after rehosting a world.
  
• Reduced the size of grown pumpkins in Garden Plots so that the water level is visible again and scientists can properly interact with them.
  
• Fixed some subtitle timing and localization issues for Dr. Riggs.
  
• Fixed an issue with Niketas’ dialogue not being properly localized in French and Simplified Chinese.
