As always, these changes are based on your feedback, so keep it coming! The Sky Gun is now locked for a shorter time, as the Deep Dive mission where it gets repaired has been moved earlier, also making it clearer that it is broken and how to fix it.

Last patch had some stability issues, I'm so sorry about that. Hopefully this patch will be more stable. Remember to enable "Send Analytics Data" if you want to help out, that way I will get the crash logs. I was actually working on endgame balancing before knowing about the crashes, so this patch also includes a lot of end game balancing. The current loop count is now displayed.

This update brings an in-game Achievement Tracker, so you can keep track of those that are not on Steam and it will help finding out why certain Steam achievements aren't triggering for some players. The two late game missions, Gulch and Spiral, are now Refinery missions with new random challenges every time they are started. Long range heroes and turrets are now really good at hitting fast moving distant targets.

• In-Game Achievement Tracker. See all achievements and their progress, including those not on Steam (Steam has a 100-achievement limit for smaller games).
  
• The missions Gulch & Spiral's challenges are randomized each time they load.

• Rayn’s Special now has the same range as his base weapon (significantly increased).
  
• Bride starts using her electric ability from further away.
  
• Circle Selection (Neoteric) hold delay reduced from 0.4s → 0.3s.

As always, your feedback is what shapes the game, keep it coming!

Last patch shipped with a bug related to Steam Overlay, so I needed a fix out ASAP. But I took this opportunity to get in some other requested quick fixes in and the resource tracker I have been working on.

• Resources are now shown on the map when hovering over the resource bar, and rooms appear when hovering over the station button, making it easier to find what you need.
  

• Drop Pod impact liquid removal strength reduced from 10 → 2.
  
• Mech Health Upgrade cost increased from 75 → 150.
  
• Ray Turret fire rate increased from 0.5 → 0.75.
  

• Preferred difficulty is now set to Easy by default.
  
• Improved the Turret Targe Prioritization. Added some gifs to show what is happening under the hood. The green line is the decided target. Blue is what the old system would have found. Red is blocked. Yellow is the search position and the cyan is the enemy that the position found. Hope you like this even though it is a bit nerdy. : )
  
  • Tank Main Gun, Cannon, Shotgun & Flamer Turrets now also compares dot products (angle difference) when finding a target.
    
  • Sniper & Ray Turrets are looking in many directions trying to find the enemy with the highest health.
    
  • Howitzers and Rocket Artillery looks for shortest distance from each search point.
    
  • Miniguns and the rest just targets the closest enemy.
    

• Trader Resource Tracker now updates correctly after transactions.
  
• Planet View music will no longer stop playing unexpectedly.
  
• Blade Turret unlock path now correctly updates when unlocking Walls or Flamer Turrets.
  
• Hardware cursor will not be crazy big on some Linux machines.
  
• Worms and Deposits will no longer try to block pathing, it caused units already inside the area to stop moving.

• SHIFT Selection is stuck after closing Steam Overlay using the close button. I can't for the life of me fix this. So the official solution until Steam or Unity changes their API is to just press SHIFT again when back in the game.

Stay tuned for the next patch and keep that feedback flowing!

Turrets just got a bit smarter. They now prioritize targets more effectively. Dragged out missions just got more intense as loop events have been refactored. Each loop adds new and more enemies. Bans now apply across all item tiers. Oh, and no more friendly fire from turrets (probably).

• Cursor Size Adjustment: Change your cursor size in settings. Any value above 1 switches to a software cursor.

After the official launch of our game, we’ve received attention from players all over the world. Many players from certain regions have expressed a strong desire for localized versions in their native languages. To address this, we are actively working with new translation companies to make this happen. In the first phase, we will be adding Korean, Russian, and other localized languages.

We’re excited about the possibility of more players around the world enjoying the game in their native language. If you’d like to see your language added, please let us know in the comments so we can carefully evaluate the demand—your feedback is invaluable!

As an indie team, our resources are limited, so if you’re interested in contributing as a volunteer translator, your help would be greatly appreciated in speeding up the process. If you’d like to get involved, feel free to leave a comment or join our Discord[discord.com] to discuss this with us. Thank you!!!

Hope you enjoy the update! Your feedback keeps making the game better, so keep it coming! 🚀
