    Mod the Apocalypse: Terminus: Zombie Survivors Gets Steam Workshop Support in Free 1.3 Update

    Longplay Studios has officially launched the highly anticipated 1.3 update for its award-winning turn-based survival roguelike, Terminus: Zombie Survivors. Having surpassed 150,000 copies sold on Steam, the hit indie game is giving back to its thriving community by delivering one of its most frequently requested features: full Steam Workshop mod support.

    Best of all? The update is completely free for all existing owners of the game.

    Endlessly Customizable Survival

    Since its initial release, Terminus: Zombie Survivors has captivated players with its deeply tactical turn-based grid movement and unforgiving mechanics. Every step in its procedurally generated, 150+ location cityscape demands careful planning—forcing survivors to strictly manage hunger, hydration, morale, warmth, and energy while dodging hordes of the undead.

    With Update 1.3, the power to shape the end of the world is now directly in the hands of the players. With full Steam Workshop integration, modifying the apocalypse requires nothing more than a single click to subscribe.

    Mods can modify or extend nearly every system in the game using simple JSON files, including:

    • Occupations, Traits & Perks: Craft custom survivor archetypes or tweak existing traits.
    • Weapons, Armour & Items: Adjust durability, damage, weight, or introduce entirely new gear into the pool.
    • Recipes & Crafting: Expand cooking, crafting, and survival mechanics with new blueprints.
    • Enemies & World Balance: Alter zombie drop rates, spawn stats, or make global adjustments to trait points and stat limits.
    • Custom Visuals & Localisation: Swap out in-game sprite art or create complete fan translations with custom fonts.

    The update also ships with a dedicated standalone Workshop Uploader tool and bundled example mods, making it easy for aspiring creators to package, validate, and upload their own creations.

    Over 50 Mods Already Live

    The community hasn’t waited around to start tinkering. Thanks to a busy beta testing period, over 50 player-created mods are already live on the Steam Workshop right now.

    Interestingly, early modders aren’t just making the game easier—many are aiming to make the post-apocalyptic nightmare even more brutally realistic.

    “The first thing beta modders did was make the game harder: tougher zombies and a crueler balance than we ever shipped. That told us we were right to open everything up,” said Shin In-geon, lead developer at Longplay Studios.

    How to Get In on the Action

    Whether you’re looking to turn up the difficulty, download custom survival gear, or build your own post-apocalyptic scenarios, Update 1.3 offers endless replayability to an already rich roguelike experience.

    If you haven’t yet taken your first steps toward safety in Terminus: Zombie Survivors, now is an ideal time to jump in. The game is currently discounted by 40% on Steam as part of Steam’s PvE Survival Crafting Fest (running through September 14).

  • Survive Longer, Build Better: Project Zomboid’s Massive New Update Drops July 29th!

    Survive Longer, Build Better: Project Zomboid’s Massive New Update Drops July 29th!

    Attention, survivors! If you thought staying alive in Knox Country was already a heart-pounding challenge, it’s time to gear up for a whole new world of apocalyptic chaos. On July 29th, Project Zomboid is launching one of its most highly anticipated major updates ever.

    Whether you’re a veteran zombie slayer who has survived through winter or a fresh spawn just trying to figure out how to open a can of beans, this update is set to completely revolutionise how you play the game.

    Here at TechMash, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the development of this massive patch. From finally bringing wildlife to the wasteland to completely overhauling how you build and survive, here is everything you need to know about the July 29th update!

    Welcome to the Farm: Animals Have Arrived!

    For years, the only moving things in Project Zomboid were you, your fellow survivors, and the relentless undead. Not anymore! The July 29th update officially introduces animals into the game.

    This isn’t just for background scenery; it’s a complete game-changer for long-term survival.

    • Livestock: Players can now find, domesticate, and breed animals like cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. This opens up a brand-new, sustainable food source—meaning you won’t have to risk your life looting a grocery store for stale cereal.
    • Wild Animals: Expect to see wildlife roaming the expanded forests, providing new opportunities for hunting and trapping.
    • The Catch: Remember, animals make noise. A mooing cow or a clucking chicken might just be the dinner bell the local zombie horde was waiting for. You’ll need to protect your livestock as fiercely as you protect yourself!

    Expanding Knox Country: A Bigger Map to Explore

    If you thought you knew every safehouse, gun store, and hardware shop in the game, think again. The map is receiving a massive expansion, pushing the boundaries of the Knox Event further than ever before.

    Expect to explore entirely new towns, dense wilderness areas, and sprawling rural landscapes. With the addition of animals and deeper crafting, the map expansion gives players the perfect excuse to flee the zombie-infested city centres and attempt to build a self-sustaining homestead out in the deep woods. New locations mean new loot, new base-building spots, and, of course, new dangers hiding around every corner.

    Deeper Crafting: Survive the End of the World

    Eventually, the power goes out, the water stops running, and all the pre-apocalypse loot runs dry. What then?

    The new update answers this by introducing a much deeper, post-apocalyptic crafting system. The developers are pushing the game into a true “survivalist” era.

    • Advanced Tech Trees: You’ll be able to create much more complex items from scratch, relying on primitive technologies like blacksmithing, metalworking, and pottery.
    • Self-Sufficiency: The goal is to allow players to truly live off the land. Instead of just surviving until the canned food runs out, dedicated players will be able to forge their own tools, create their own building materials, and build a thriving post-collapse settlement.

    Are You Ready for July 29th?

    This update is shaping up to be a monumental leap forward for Project Zomboid, transforming it from a mere zombie survival simulator into a deeply complex post-apocalyptic society builder.

    Mark your calendars, round up your multiplayer crew, and start planning your new base. Will you try to become a post-apocalyptic farmer, a master blacksmith, or a wilderness hunter? Let us know in the comments below!
