[h5][color=#33FFDD]Seasons greetings, esteemed colleagues![/color][/h5]
Come, gather round the fire and put some coffee in that coffee hole. Let’s get cozy as we wander into the magical world of Abiotic Factor’s winter update!

Firstly, the shortest ever vlog from Zag and Criss, who barely even talk about the update. Mainly wishing you a warm holiday. You don’t actually click on these vlogs to hear about the game, do you?

Step into this magical world and onto the train platform (DO NOT STEP OFF THE TRAIN PLATFORM) and into this snowy world and uncover the story behind these new Immurement Subjects. … And snag some furniture while you’re at it.

To begin this journey, you’ll need to wander around the Dirac Containment Wing in Cascade Laboratories, after you have finished the Helmholtz segment. We suspect you will figure it out from there. We’re not that good at keeping secrets.

There is also a new unlockable character head, but you’ll have to work for it.

Also, you have our permission to take out some holiday stress on your fellow scientists via a friendly snowball fight. And that’s about it, there’s definitely nothing else to find or discover in this place.

Once you’ve finished the new Portal World, you may find yourself with access to a new, cozy Home World. This frosty mountain cabin is really quite cozy, and available to all! Happy Holidays.

Is it actually a carrot? Where do you get it? These are all great questions. You’re a scientist. You’re an explorer! You can figure it out. (Hint: It’s probably related to the new cryosphere stuff.)

That’s right, the days of lugging around a barrel of soup in your fanny pack are over! We’ve added a bunch of new buffs for many of the baked foods, making them a lot more worthwhile. This is mostly centered on baked food that requires effort to create, so your pumpkin slices are still just pumpkin slices. … Or at least we hope they are. Oh god, has anyone checked on the pumpkin slices!?

There are some new hats you can find, all themed around this whole rigamaroll.

There’s a handful of new deployable items, ranging from furniture to tiny toys, and everyone’s favorite holiday tradition - the Arrival Bell! As you all know, these are lovely bells that sound off when a visitor arrives at your base! Hopefully this will keep Marion from–WHAT DO YOU SEEK?

Oh, and wall-mounted item stands are now an option for home decoration. There’s also a few more goodies, but shhhh, shhh-shh shhh, quiet. Get on out of here as we tussle your hair and call you sport. You won’t get your Wishing Shelf gifts if you don’t go to bed.

Take a look inside this comically overstuffed stocking to see the full patch notes.
