This week the game was updated to version 0.3.172.
 

Changelog:
 
— Resource gathering reworked. Harvesting now better matches how it is obtained: from creatures, ore veins, snowy biomes, and mountains of tech scrap.
— Added hidden stashes: a full-fledged exploration mechanic. Finding them depends on the right abilities and bonuses.
— First major implementation of the companion system: some NPCs can now be led around, told to stay put, and have their inventory opened through dialogue.
— You can now keep up to 5 characters on a single account.
— Personal storage is now shared across the account, letting you move items between your own characters.
— The explosives branch expanded with pressure mines, remote charges, flashbang and breaching charges.
— Improved AI and combat movement. Enemies and companions now pursue targets and reposition in combat more naturally.
— Optimized transitions through personal rooms and between locations, as well as group transfers.
— Improved Android controls and clipboard handling in the web client, making the game more convenient on other platforms.
— On the Radar map, a personal-room entrance was added closer to the spawn.
— The PDA now shows faction reputation.
