THE ZONE UPDATED 1/6/19

UPDATE 1/6/19 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1617060147 First off: IF YOU DO NOT USE SPY'S AND OPT FOR VANILLA, YOU WILL SEE MINIMAL TO MODERATE PROBLEMS. You can totally go without it, but there will be some floating things n stuff. Also anomalies such as "Circus" will basically be empty areas where you get hurt. 1986, Ukraine, The Chernobyl NPP melts down, and creates the biggest nuclear power disaster in history.
