enough to throw hands in PvP, or just looking to yell at bots in new and exciting ways, Calm Before the Storm delivers another batch of improvements, reworks, and lovingly implemented chaos. All carefully tuned to ensure one thing: you\u2019re never truly safe beneath Europa\u2019s ice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to those new features, Calm Before the Storm also includes some fixes and quality of life updates like improved AI for bots and improved balancing for the radiation mechanic that may have been a bit too punishing before. Although, now there are creatures that <em>benefit<\/em> from radiation exposure, so don&#8217;t let yourself feel too safe.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the new modules for abandoned outposts were actually created by a fan of the game, a community modder by the name of NotWendy. They&#8217;ve also <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/workshop\/filedetails\/?id=3176326632\" target=\"_blank\">created custom submarines<\/a> you can access through the Barotrauma Workshop on Steam.<\/p>\n<p>For those who haven&#8217;t explored Barotrauma yet, it&#8217;s a bit like FTL crossed with Rimworld with a splash of Among Us, where you and your friends are tasked with keeping a submarine operating as you explore the perilous alien oceans beneath the ice of Jupiter&#8217;s moon Europa.
