Survivor Micronesia Upgraded & Saved Simulation Reminder
Brant 
The Survivor Micronesia Update has been released.
This season features 2 tribes of 10 along with an Immunity Idol hidden on Exile Island. If this idol is rehidden after the episode 13 tribal council, it will instead be hidden at the merge tribe camp. Thank you for those who tested the season and provided feedback. New features are gradually being introduced to Survivor such as stamina adjustments and the ability for players to join existing alliances in events, and all feedback on these changes is welcome.
Reminder: For those of you who want to preserve your existing saved simulations, here is a description of the current deletion policies. These policies will be more strictly enforced in the near future. Please ask if you have any questions.
– Saved simulations will be cleared 3 months after the last view by default.
– Saved simulations will remain available for 1 year after the last view if the ‘Keep Longer’ option is selected in the Advanced Options page.
– Once a saved simulation is deleted, it is not possible to recover it.
– Just because your code isn’t listed on the ‘Your Seasons’ page, it does not necessarily mean your saved simulation was deleted. Your internet connection may have changed, and it could still be possible to recover it.

Survivor Fiji Upgraded & Stamina Added to All .com Survivor Seasons
The Survivor Fiji Update has been released.
Survivor Fiji is the next Survivor season to be updated. This season features a Have and a Have Not camp twist, and the idols function differently based on the twist.
In addition, all .com Survivor seasons now have the new Profile attribute called Stamina activated. Stamina controls how well a player maintains their energy level throughout a season, which can range from 0% to 100%. Energy allows a player to do well on challenges and perform other actions such as finding idols. Merge feasts and winning reward challenges can increase a player’s energy while exile island and poor camp conditions can decrease it. A player with low energy is more likely to be medically evacuated. There are new stamina-based events, but these are only enabled by default for Fiji and China until more testing is done to make sure the balance is correct.
Thank you to everyone who has been testing and reporting bugs. I’m also gathering feedback in the following Google Doc: Feedback Survey
Edit: The following bugs were also fixed with AU Survivor 2018:
– Beggar’s table auction winner can no longer bid on more items
– Tribe history colors spoiled colors the Save/Send twist
– Merge idol was being hidden a round late
You can keep reading for more details on Fiji’s idol.

Survivor Panama & Cook Islands Upgraded
The Survivor Panama Update and Survivor Cook Islands Update have been released. This involves a lot of new code to handle the unique hidden immunity idol for these seasons.
During the past week, a bug was fixed with Profile attributes sometimes not working properly in the .com simulators. This bug was due to a function that was originally made for Total Drama Island not translating the 5-attribute to the 8-attribute profiles that these other simulators use correctly. This has now been fixed.
Thank you to everyone who has been testing and reporting bugs. I’m also gathering feedback in the following Google Doc. Before the next season upgrade, this feedback will be analyzed, and some quality of life updates may be made to all of the Survivor seasons: Feedback Survey

Survivor Palau & Guatemala Upgraded
The Survivor Palau Update and Survivor Guatemala Update have been released.
One of the most requested features in Palau was the ability to use the tribes from the show. Similarly to Thailand, this can now be done through Edit Cast – along with choosing the starting tribes if you’d prefer. There are a few different options for visually and/or functionally excluding Episode 1, Part 1.
Guatemala features one of the most unique tribe swaps in Survivor history and the introduction of the Hidden Immunity Idol. It is also programmed using the newest version of the algorithm. Please leave feedback on whether you prefer the changes – such as the immunity winner listed each tribal council and more realistic quit/medevac probabilities and rock drawing chances – and would like these to be applied to the other seasons.
Thanks to bwburke94 for providing specific details that went into the planning of these simulator and Brandon for testing.
You can also use the Feedback Survey to provide your thoughts on how these early season upgrades are progressing. Thank you.
