Armed with a massive truck and a handful of supplies, you will guide your crew through the hazards and obstacles, trying to make it away from the calamity that's...

Roll Out 1.1.3 Is Now Live!

25 Oct, 2017

Enhancements / New Features

Number of crew members can be configured when setting up difficulty on a new game.
Crew members can now be customized; escape the apocalypse as you and your friends!
The Road Train now lives up to its name with the addition of trailers!
- You must start with a trailer bed
- Trailer buildings are unlocked with research
- Trailer buildings can be built on top of a trailer bed. Each one gives powerful functionality and an advantage to the player.
  - Cargo trailers increase the Road Train's capacity.
  - Greenhouse trailers lower the food required per stop.
  - Raincatcher trailers will act as rain barrels, gathering water when it rains. They also lower the water requirement per stop.
  - Forge trailers act as forges, smelting ore into metal and making fasteners. They do not act as drop points however, nor add storage.
  - Medical trailers cause the crew to heal 10 HP at each roll out. Medical trailer effects do not stack.
  - Generator trailers produce a trickle of power constantly.
Melee weapons have been added! With baseball bats, tire irons, and swords, send your crew into battle!
To compliment the new melee lifestyle, body armor has also been added!
- It can be researched and crafted at a textile mill. Kevlar provides armor, which provides damage reduction against attacks.
- Each point of armor provides one percent of damage reduction from most damage types. This does not affect weather damage.
Actors can now have status effects applied to them. These status effects last for various amounts of time, and can provide a variety of effects (such as the militant's suppression ability).
- New effects can be registered in the dev tools!
New Crew Member abilities!
- At and above level 5, militants who attack at range now slow the target.
- At and above level 5, gatherers gather twice as much and do double melee damage.
- At and above level 5, engineers use 10% less materials when they start construction on a building.
New Difficulty Option: Hardcore Mode
- Prior to this, crew members were killed outright if their health was reduced to zero.
- Now, crew members taken to 0 will be knocked unconscious, and can be revived by another crew member using a medkit.
- Rolling out causes any unconscious crew members to be killed.
- The exception to this rule is during travel events; crew will still be killed if the difficulty is set to allow it.
- The game is still lost if all crew members are knocked unconscious.
- Hardcore mode replicates the initial functionality of the game, where a crew member irrevocably dies when their health reaches 0.
Camera Panning controls default to WASD instead of the Arrow Keys.
Borders around the map have been added.
Control Buttons at the bottom of the screen and crew frames now display their current hotkey.
Crafting items now displays a bar in the crafting queue (on the current item being made) indicating craft progress.
Crafting icons in the queue can now be canceled by clicking on them. This will refund materials on all items not started, and on an item that has less than 10% of its crafting time elapsed.
Added low ammo/no ammo notifications when using weapons that require ammunition.
The Roll Out preview window now shows a transparent bar as well as the solid bar. This transparent bar represents how much food/fuel/water exists in total in storage on the map, where the solid bar represents what is currently on the Road Train. Resources must be on the Road Train to count towards Roll Out conditions.
The area behind the Road Train can no longer have regular buildings placed there (as it is reserved for Trailers).
Inventory now has an option to display all items, including ones not researched and ones with 0 quantity.
Holding LSHIFT while over an building/resource on the map will show an expanded tooltip.
The loading screen has been re-done.
The progress screen has been updated. If you are loading an old save (from version 1.0.7 and prior), you may be missing some information that was not captured at that time.

Balance Changes

Scientists now receive their healing ability at level 5 (up from level 4).
Paper production has been re-balanced.
Ore deposits now contain slightly more ore.
Metal production from ore has been increased.
Metal requirement for fasteners has been lowered.
The research Engine Upgrade: Gasoline is now researched at the Fuel Refinery.
Crafting fasteners now produce more overall.

Bug Fixes

Fuel/food that has not been researched no longer counts towards satisfying roll out conditions, even if gathered.
The button to disable resource generators now functions properly.
The Road Train's inventory display in the UI now functions properly on all resolutions.
Fixed a bug in the dev tools where loaded dictionaries (resource costs,etc) and string arrays were not properly bound on project load.
The camera properly binds to the map region instead of going out of bounds.
The minimap camera area now correctly resembles the camera zoom level.
Fixed z-index of build previews so they are on top, as well as trailer z-indices
Build previews no longer remain in certain circumstances after canceling building placement.
Fixed certain instances where text would overflow the UI container instead of shrinking.
Certain buildings will no longer have incorrect properties when built (such as a bridge that becomes a dropoff point for ore).
The inventory screen now updates more regularly.
Fixed emergency rollout to work as intended, including an appropriate prompt.
Crew members no longer start at an offset position when loading a game.

Launcher

The bug reporter no longer requires an email client when submitting a bug report.

Roll Out

Looks interesting?

A few questions: 1) How long is a playthrough? 2) Is each playthrough different? 3) It looks interesting to me....why so little activity?

In Development: Upcoming Features

14 Aug, 2017

Roll Out development continues, with several new features in the pipes!

First and foremost, the Road Train will live up to its name with the addition of Trailers!

Trailer beds can be built at the end of the Road Train, currently with a maximum of 10. These trailer beds can have special trailer buildings added to them, which perform various functions including replicating the functionality of various buildings (for example, a Forge trailer).

They're more expensive, but have the benefit of following the Road Train from stop to stop, giving you a massive advantage based on planning.

Second, a new difficulty option for crew death

Crew members will have the option to, instead of dying when reduced to 0 HP, become knocked out. Knocked out crew members cannot be selected/given orders, and are killed if you roll out without saving them.

They can be saved by having a medkit somewhere in inventory, and ordering another crew member to interact with the fallen crew. After a brief period, the crew member will bandage the other and restore control.

Events will still be able to kill crew members with this enabled, however there is still the other difficulty option to prevent that.

Hardcore Mode

Hardcore mode will function as the game does now, where crew members reduced to 0 HP will be instantly killed.

New Gear

With body armor and melee weapons unlockable and craftable, your crew will stand a better chance against enemies in close quarters combat!

Crew Abilities

The Scientist already gets a healing aura at level 4, now the rest of the crew will have special abilities as well!

Bug Fixes

There have been some bugs reported, and they will be addressed in the upcoming patch.

Stay tuned for future updates!
