Update 10 brings major improvements to Guardians Frontline focused on stability, progression, and quality of life.
This update introduces a new Template System for saving grouped objects in the Map Editor, Weekly Missions to expand a welcomed feature, the Title System to showcase your accomplishments, and many more additions alongside numerous bug fixes, gameplay improvements, and quality-of-life enhancements.
As always, we'll be closely monitoring player feedback and game data to continue improving the experience.
Template System
Added a system that allows players to save groups of objects as templates for use in other maps. Those templates can be named and used in multiplayer so you can share them and use them in map editor lobbies.
Weekly Missions
We've observed that Daily Missions are a popular feature, so we're expanding the system with Weekly Missions.
Every week you will get a mission with larger conditions to fulfill rewarding 10% of your current level's XP requirement and 100 RP.
Like the Daily Missions we will be closely monitoring how players interact with it so we can expand and improve it in future updates with some ideas we have!
Title System
Added a title system where players can select a title to be displayed in their nametags, those titles will allow you to show off your merits!
Titles can be earned through leveling up, events or even unique feats!
PET companion!
Added a new Pet system where a harmless companion follows you around. You can find pets in the hangar and select one to accompany you into battle.
For now, all bug enemies are available as smaller, tamed versions that can be equipped as pets.
Item List
Added a list of all items in a map, allowing players to easily select, move, or delete placed objects. There will be no more lost items obscured by your wonderful creations!
10 New Levels
The level cap has been increased from 50 to 60. Each new level requires 10 million XP and unlocks additional progression rewards.

Major Fixes

Fixed a major issue where music did not play during the first launch after installation, which could give the impression that the game had frozen.
Fixed a major performance issue during the game’s first launch that caused unusually long loading times. On Quest 2, loading could sometimes take over 5 minutes; this has now been reduced to approximately 45 seconds.
Fixed a major issue where the scoreboard was not displayed correctly in some cases. All affected scores have now been restored.
Fixed a major issue where reporting a map could cause the game to crash.
Fixed a major issue where the initial server connection could fail during the first few minutes after launching the game. A load-balancing server has been added, and the “Server Not Available” error should now occur less frequently.
Fixed a major issue where the Social List would not populate correctly unless players forced a reconnection to the server by entering Galaxy Conquest panel.
Fixed several edge cases where the server connection could end prematurely, causing the Join Game list to not fully populate.
Fixed a major issue where matches would not end if the host changed while a larva created a new hive, making it appear as though no hives remained.
Fixed a major issue where some players with high XP would experience an overflow and be reverted to Cadet.
Fixed a major issue where some players with high XP would experience an overflow and be reverted back to Cadet.
Fixed an issue where a host change could create ghost nests, blocking the game from ending.
NOTE: There is now a 2-minute delay before a player’s online status is updated for others. During this window, a player may already have the game open but still appear offline in the Friends List.
Fixes

Fixed an issue where Domination bases started fully captured at the beginning of a match.
Fixed an issue where Domination bases could be damaged by player attacks.
Fixed an issue where players could place teleports through walls.
Fixed an issue where certain volume blocks incorrectly blocked projectiles from flying units.
Fixed an issue where applying a second damage boost did not reset the buff duration.
Fixed an issue where players were not properly centered at the start of the tutorial, preventing them from selecting the initial settings.
Fixed an issue where AK2 Stun explosions did not count toward the AK2 Daily Mission.
Fixed an issue causing PvP bots to aim at the ceiling.
Fixed an issue where the first trophy placed on a shelf could be duplicated.
Fixed an issue where Main Missions displayed 10/11 completed after all missions had been completed.
Fixed an issue where AK20 kills were not counting toward the corresponding Daily Mission.
Fixed an issue where Energy Sword skins would be rendered as square textures.
Fixed an issue where flying units could pass through assets from the Ancient Pack.

Note: overstretched assets may still cause collision issues.
Fixed an issue where a friendly unit destroying a nest could cause Domination mode to finish prematurely.
Fixed an issue where corrupted robot enemies would shoot the bug teleporter.
Fixed an issue where opening the player list in-game could cause a long lag spike.
Fixed an issue where the Join Game list would not load when first opening the game until navigating to the Campaign screen.
Fixed an issue where shooting a Queen Killer box with a shotgun would cause it to fall to the ground.
Fixed a performance issue affecting players with massive friend lists.
Fixed a strange collision issue while dual wielding an AK2.
Fixed an issue where a recent hangar purchase was not being saved after closing the game, forcing the player to rebuy it every time.
Fixed several edge cases where the server connection could end prematurely, causing the Join Game list to not fully populate.
Fixed an issue where shooting a Queen Killer box with a shotgun would cause it to fall to the ground.
Map Editor

Fixed an issue where Kill Volumes configured to affect enemies would also kill friendly units.
Fixed an issue where grouped objects could only be cloned once, requiring players to release and reselect the group before creating another clone.
Fixed an issue where three column assets were missing display names:

Basic_ConcreteColumn2mSciFi
Basic_ConcreteColumn2mDark
Basic_ConcreteColumn2m
Fixed an issue where a linked Spawnpoint and Enemy Spawner would spawn units in the center of the Enemy Spawner asset instead of the Spawnball.

Maps without Spawnballs should continue working normally.
Fixed an issue where the HP and Damage settings would reset back to 100% when modified.
That’s it for Update 10, Guardians!

Hello Everyone!
Update 9 is now available on Meta Quest, Steam, and Pico, and it’s a huge step forward for community content and progression:
You can now build campaigns, earn trophies, complete daily missions, and add narration to your maps, plus a lot more!
Community Campaigns
A new way for map makers to link maps and build their own campaigns! In this beta, you can try out the core system and share your feedback on features you’d like to see.
Map makers can now create a campaign, name it, and add maps to it before making it public.
For players, the Top Rated List has been replaced with the new Campaigns list. This follows our usage analysis of the Create Game lists, an area already in our sights, which showed that Top Rated was rarely used. Campaigns now take its place, giving you a dedicated space where player made campaigns are listed and ready to explore.
Text-to-Speech Implementation
With the introduction of Community Campaigns, we felt a new way to deliver narration was needed.
We’ve added a Text-to-Speech system with multiple voices to choose from. Your map description can now be narrated automatically.
We’ve also included a new asset called Voice Volume, which allows map makers to place narrative lines and custom texts directly in the world with its own configurations!
Trophies
As teased, Trophies are making their way to your ships! These stylish displays showcase your most prestigious Accolades, fully visible for friends, allies, and even rivals to admire.
Two dedicated trophy spots are now available in your Ship’s lobby area, pick your favorites and show them off!
There are 16 trophies in this release, with the possibility of more in the future. Here’s a preview of a few of them:
New Accolades
With the introduction of Trophies, we’ve added six new Accolades:
Map maker: Get Diamond rank with 5 of your maps
Veteran Guardian: Complete 200 maps!
The Bug Killer!: Kill 1,000,000 bugs!
Halloween Event: Log in during the Halloween event!
Summer Event: Log in during the Summer event!
Winter Event: Log in during the Winter event!
Missions System
We’ve added a new mission system to the game. Main and Daily Missions are now accessible from a new panel on the left side of the main menu.
Main Missions are designed to guide players through the early stages of the campaign, introducing key mechanics while granting bonus Crystals, XP, and Research Points.
Daily Missions assign one random mission every day, which must be completed within 24 hours.
There are currently 43 missions in the pool.
Each completed Daily Mission grants:
15 Research Points
5% of your current level XP requirement
We’re very excited about this feature and will be closely monitoring how players interact with it so we can expand and improve it in future updates.
Legacy Skin Equalization
We’ve added two new female skins as part of our ongoing effort to equalize all male and female versions. Due to the legacy backlog, we can’t update every skin in a single patch, so two new skins will be added in each update until full parity is reached.
Added Snow and Forest female skins, earned at Galaxy Rewards 1 and 2.
SAM, Tank, and Mech Skin Tech
You can now unlock cosmetic skins for your SAM, Tank, and Mech units by researching a new technology in the tech tree.
A selection of new skins is now available and can be unlocked using Crystals.
Additionally, we’ve added 3 optional cosmetic packs (each priced at $4.99) for those who wish to go the extra mile in supporting our development team:
Guardicorn Unit Pack 2
Brown Rebel Unit Pack 2
Blue Rebel Unit Pack 2
Map Report System
We’ve added a new system to report public maps. You’ll find the option inside the More Info section of any game. Reports do not affect ratings or map list placement — they simply help us review and address issues more efficiently.
Block User Improvement
We’ve improved the blocking system to make it more reliable. Blocking a user now persists until manually removed from the Social menu, and you’ll receive a warning before joining a match if a blocked player is present. Additionally, blocked players can no longer join games hosted by someone who has blocked them.
Key Beacon
Key behavior has been refined for better clarity and consistency. When keys are dropped from a belt with the player death, they now spawn a visible beacon above them. This beacon is only visible to the key holder and remains active until the keys are recovered, helping prevent lost objectives and confusion during combat.
NEW
Added a new dropdown widget to the game.
Added feedback messages when saving and publishing maps.
Adjusted the tag size in maps.
Added scrolling to the mission description and Start menus to prevent text overflow.
Added a two-step verification when generating terrain to avoid accidental loss of previous settings.
Added a beacon on top of the Active Nest in Thermogen, Zephyr Temple, and Zephyr Core to better guide players in this mode.
Added a new on-screen notification prompting players to spawn units during the campaign.
Added the Teleport Tutorial video to the Planetary Shield campaign map.
Added an extend button to the keyboard for writing longer text, such as map descriptions.
Added a reminder to the player during the Campaign to spawn units via notification and voice alert.
Changed the AI sphere to a miner in the Snow protect Mission.
QoL improvement to the Map Editor description field: expandable text area + cursor movement.
Changed the default difficulty from Advanced to Normal in the introduction mission selection.
Added 3 new Calm music tracks:Patrol Route After the Storm Federation at Rest
Added 3 new Combat music tracks:Holding The Line Critical Breach Into the Swarm
Added 4 new Skyboxes
Major Issues
Fixed a major issue that caused maps to get stuck loading at 10% in certain situations.
Fixed a major issue that prevented maps from saving correctly, resulting in lost progress.
Fixed a major issue causing games to end prematurely in the Elimination campaign maps when killing a nest in the first few seconds.
Fixed a major issue in the Elimination campaign maps where the game could end prematurely in the second and third stages.
Fixed a major issue where the map editor loading process could get stuck while loading terrain.
Fixes
Fixed an issue that prevented your ship configuration from replicating to other players in lobbies.
Fixed an issue where certain text boxes allowed more characters than intended, crashing the game.
Fixed a collision issue with two assets from the Ancient pack where the stairs could lose collision.
Fixed an issue preventing dropships and hoverbikes from shooting through fog volumes.
Fixed an issue preventing the teleport dropbox from spawning in the Thermogen campaign map.
Fixed an issue where three crystal deposits in Zephyr Temple could not be mined.
Fixed an issue preventing clients from activating bases in Domination games from the Campaign.
Fixed an issue where solo Campaign bases were not synchronized between host and clients.
Fixed an issue where all bases were marked as A to the host.
Fixed an issue where grouped objects could not be deleted unless moved first.
Fixed an issue with the localization of your rank if the player was more than level 21.
Fixed a localization issue where several Campaign map names did not match:Snow Caves is now Frozen Caves Protect is now Called Canyon
That’s it for this update, Guardians!
Now it’s your turn:
Create a Campaign
Try the new narration tools
Show off your Trophies
Play and rate Community Campaigns
Try out the new Mission System
If you build something cool, share it in Discord. If you find issues or have ideas, tell us. If you break something… definitely tell us.
We’ll be actively watching your campaigns, maps, and feedback to shape the next updates.
See you on the Frontlines, and keep up the bug killing!

Hi everyone!
A new free update for Guardians Frontline (Update 6) is now officially live on Meta Quest and Steam!
New stuff

The Queen: The Federation has found a new enemy on a remote planet, known as 'the Queen' because of her big size. This enemy has weak points that should be targeted for a quick death (head and tail), attacking other areas will take considerably longer
Bug’s Nydus Tunnels: The enemy has now built its own portals! They can navigate using these portals, from an entrance to an exit. These entrances and exits can be destroyed with explosives, but they regenerate. To permanently destroy the tunnel, you must destroy both the entrance and exit.
Support The Game: A new control panel in the spaceship allows you to support the developers by purchasing a package of interesting items (research point, minerals, and exclusive avatars). While this is completely optional, the developers will be very grateful for any support, as it helps sustain the game's development
18 New Weapon Skins!
Black Energy Sword Skin
Conquer Mode Time Limit: Map makers can now set a time limit for their Conquer maps. If the Guardians fail to win before this time runs out, they lose the game.
Squad only maps. Map makers can now configure the missions to be Squad mode only.
Medic Gun research. On the research panel, there's a new upgrade to the Medic Gun to double its capacity.
New PvP Accolades. Additional achievements have been added for PvP to help push this game mode (Win 5 PvP games, Kill 10 players in PvP, Win a supremacy game, Win a deathmatch game, Win a team Deathmatch game, Win a Destroy the Gate game).
New Squad Mode Accolade: Win a Squad mode game.
Improvements

Two new volume selectors have been added to the settings menu: Weapon's volume and Voice Chat Volume.
Friend lists are now stored on our servers to make sure they aren’t lost anymore when reinstalling the game or the progress from another account.
The Arack and the Queen are now available in Hangar to practice in the spaceship hangar.
Revive from player list: You can now revive other players directly from the player list menu, and when reviving the players, they will respawn at a player spawn point.
Added an option to reset the local progress on steam.
Fixes

Fixed being able to exchange magazines from other weapons endlessly increasing the bullet count.
Falling off the map in squad mode now will just respawn the player without killing them.
Teleport would stop working sometimes due to the angle between the player and the landing spot.
Fixed being able to get into some places with teleport locomotion
Fixed a rare issue where the galaxy conquest was shown as completed, causing the player to lose all their influence points in that galaxy.
Fixed an issue where the game occasionally failed to give the avatar at the end of the galaxy conquest if the player hadn't opened the galaxy tab and pressed Start.
Fixed pressing joystick while having a mission selected would make the game fail to load that map correctly
Fixed the Arack behaving incorrectly when dying while burrowing.
Fixed Arack sounds not being affected by the volume controls.
Fixed some cases where editor asset groups would not count towards the total asset number.
Editor

Standalone Enemy Spawner Volume: You can now add a volume that spawns the configured enemies when a player enters the volume.
Wave Tags: In Conquer games you can now tag any wave as defensive wave so any player attacking a nest will trigger this wave instead of the standard 2 Arthos defensive wave.
Added 10 new skyboxes in the map editor (they will be replaced with the winners on Discord)
That's it for now, fellow Guardians!! As always we hope you like this new update and please let us know what you think about the new features.
Time to kill some bugs!
Cheers!

Fixed the galaxy state not resetting sometimes.

Fixed several collider and navmesh issues in Thermogen.
Fixed if you go to join a private game, and you get the session full error (or even just cancel join) you will be prompted for that password on every menu change and panel selection until you play a different game.
Fixed if I press "Join Game" from a friend, but the friend is currently playing "offline" the game would get stuck in a loop.
Fixed Quest3 and PC not applying the global illumination correction in some maps making them much darker than they should.
Squad: Fixed the player can still take teleporter when dead and return their body to a place where a living player can revive. We used this to overcome ridiculously difficult spots like 6 sentinels some of which were firing in 0.2 seconds after taking damage.
Squad: Fixed the ending reward screen seemed to cap at reporting 32 influence for the team.
Balance (campaign):

Scorpions in Desert Protect will not show up until stage 4.
Removed bosses from the top left door in Outpost.
Added a bit more minerals per second in the campaign.
Editor:

Spawn point restrictors: A long requested feature from our map makers, you can now place regular spawn balls next to a Nest and they will override those nest’s spawn points. This allows you to change the location of the spawn point and set restrictors like “only bosses” to spawn from that nest.
Portals for players and units! You can now add teleport pads and connect them with a group id exactly like the occlusion volumes. When connected those portals will instantly teleport a player or any unit that enters the pad to the other end.
Repairable walls: You can now place repairable walls in your maps that will block the movement of any Guardian or Bug unit. The bugs will target and destroy the walls and be able to go through them once they are destroyed. You can repair the walls at any time, even if they are destroyed.
Custom damage and hp multipliers: you can now set very high or low damage and hp multipliers, to create super strong bugs. The bugs that are above 300% hp or damage will show up with a black skin and 20% bigger than regular bugs.
Added option to disable the collision of water assets so you can disable skying after landing on them with the jetpack.
Added a new water color picker!
Added the Cannon and the SAMs as corrupted standalone units (like the sentinels).
Added a new setting to kill volumes that will only kill players.
Added option to select the type of dropship supplies (e.g. only weapons, only units, etc. )
Added an option to instantly teleport dropship supplies to the drop point, very useful in interior maps
Survival: Added option to always use the regular spawn selection instead of the closest one
Fixed navigation issues in some buildings from the industrial pack
Fixed reward Boxes won't show the AK20 as an option
That's it for now, we hope you like this new update!
Cheers! VirtualAge Games Team

New stuff:

Quick Re-connect system: If you get disconnected during the game you can now quickly rejoin and recover all your units and score you had before disconnecting. To do it just press "Re-Join" in the disconnected from server pop-up. We are still investigating the cause of the disconnects, but at least this feature should reduce the impact if they happen.
Squad mode bonus: Playing in Squad mode now provides x2 more influence and research points to compensate for the extra difficulty.
Crystal door locks are now multiplied by x1.5 for each player. So a door that needs 100 crystals to open with one player, with two players will need 150.
(Editor) Survival: Added option to kill all bugs when ending the current stage (map editor)
Added a new Galaxy Avatar
Improvements

Improved the AK6 recoil
Reduced the size of the info panel that shows up when a player has bad connection with the host and also removed it after a few seconds.
(Editor) Changed procedural paint so it only uses 2 layers for ground and 1 for outlines
Improved performance of the new AK20 model
Capulue locomotion (beta): Improved several cases where capsule locomotion was not working like the current locomotion
Increased the HP of the first base in Nebula Mountains
Fixes:

Fixed survival games with bosses not spawning any enemies.
Fixed the pop up that shows up after reinstalling the game not restoring the progress, forcing the player to do a manual restore.
Fixed the network replication of weapons when grabbing them with two hands.
Fixed losing your friends list after restoring a game (sorry!)
Fixed weird collision issue with the AK20
Fixed the respawn timer in squad mode not working correctly.
Fixed non-hosts not being able to protect themselves from bug bomgs using the energy shield
Fixed a few errors that would potentially create disconnections from the server
Fixed players joining in-progress domination games not being able to capture a gate
Fixed in-progress games appearing as "game ended" in some domination games.
Fixed the galaxy appearing all blue sometimes
Fixed a case where the avatars would glitch and appear to float in the air.
Fixed navmesh issue in Perovskite

Hi everyone!
We have released a new update that comes with with a lot of graphics improvements, new weapons, new editor assets and fixes.
Graphics Improvements
Campaign levels:

Improved Decorations: We improved the decorations of all 13 campaign levels with extra vegetation, rocks, plants, decals, small props, etc.
Better reflections: Water now has special shaders that provide environment reflections and shorelines which gives it a much more natural look.
Improved ground shaders: All campaign and community levels now have custom PBR shaders and new textures which allow us for example to create specular reflections on the floor for greater realism.
Environmental Effects: We added dust effects, snow effects, volumetric fog, local dimming volumes (with automatic flashlights), and rain to different levels in the campaign.
Anisotropic filtering: Ground textures now have higher anisotropic filtering values to improve texture visualization at low angles which improves the terrain fidelity.
Metallic shaders: Created new metallic shaders that improve the scene realism over the standard Unity shader/reflection spheres.
Community Maps:

Realtime shadows: We added real-time shadows and automatic ambient lighting adjustments to all community maps.
More complex shaders and better texture resolutions:

We have added tri-planar shaders that auto-activate when players stretch assets too much along an axis.
Cliffs now have special shaders that increase the texture resolution when the player gets close to them.
Water planes have now tri-planar mapping, so they keep the same wave size independently of the mesh size.
Galaxy Changes:
Our secret service reports that the overmind has discovered an ancient weapon of mass destruction capable of destroying all life in the galaxy. The device needs enormous amounts of perovskite to set off which gives us some time to stop the enemy, but there’s no time to lose.

Guardians have to conquer all planets in less than 21 days to Win.
A counter with the days remaining will be displayed on the Galaxy tab.
New players will only need 100 influence points to get the reward (as they usually play on normal or hard).
Advanced players (>Master) will need 250 influence points (as it is now)
If Guardians don't win, nobody will get the reward of that Galaxy.
Friends List Improvements:

Join friend: You can now automatically join a friend’s game from the friends panel!
Custom Messages: Also send them messages even if they are offline.
Environment effects:

Added the possibility to procedurally activate effects such as dust, snow, and rain in all community maps. The game automatically places those effects on the map at runtime and controls their activation when the player is nearby.
Tech Tree:
We added two new tech improvements:

Mineral Collector LvL1: Extra HP
Mineral Collector LvL2: Extra Collection speed
New: Powerup - Double your unit HP for 2 minutes.
New weapon: Plasma Machine Gun:

We have added a powerful machine gun to the Guardian's arsenal. It has slightly more damage per bullet than the AK6 but fewer bullets per mag and a bit less recoil.
New avatars:

Added two new galaxy avatars:
Galactic Encyclopedia:

You can now find information about the bug race on the computer screens of the main menu.
Other improvements:

Added tooltips when selecting a conquered planet to explain which planets are available to attack.
New Improved spaceship hero props with much higher polycounts and details.
We now automatically remove the dying effect after a few seconds.
Capsule locomotion (beta): We are working on a new locomotion system that will let you fall off ledges. You can try it by going to the settings menu > controls and -enabling capsule locomotion.
Editor improvements:

New Asset pack! Industrial Assets: This pack comes with 60 new assets to create factories and perovskite refineries. Enjoy!

Color picker: We added a new color picker tool to make it easier to select colors.
Fog and Light color: Added the possibility to change the fog and light color of the scene.
Adjust warpgate HP option: You can now change the default HP value of the warp gate in any game modes.
Crystal door lock: Added a new lock option that allows you to lock doors by number of crystals.
Procedural vegetation: Map makers can now also enable procedural vegetation in their maps. When they do it the game automatically generates small vegetation on the map depending on the map’s biome (4 biomes).
Procedural Terrain painter: Automatically paints the terrain creating “shorelines” around any rocks or editor pieces for more natural transitions.
Fixes:

Fixed some cases where it was still possible to go through doors with teleport locomotion.
Fixed shotgun can go above 5 rounds if you pump it before firing.
Fixed joining domination games mid game would not let you capture bases.
Fixed the multitool getting stuck sometimes.
Fixed calibration screen not going away
Fixed not being able to shoot through the ship in the Nebula Mountains.
Fixed in Conquer games if you had the tactical view active and pressed start the player would appear below ground.
Fixed Survival not spawning enemies using the two closest spawn points when the spawn type was set to “even”
Fixed the Cannon tower not working well in multiplayer games sometimes.
Fixed the miner not having the correct rotation and moving sometimes
Fixed when joining other players in Snow Rescue their arms would appear glitched
Fixed LOD issues on some rocks
Fixed when claiming a galaxy reward the name of the avatar was not correct.
Fixed the editor not counting the number of items correctly when duplicating assets.

Hey everyone!
We have just pushed a new patch (v1.2.2)! If you want to connect directly with us and other fellow Guardians, join our Discord!
New Stuff

You can now claim the galaxy mission rewards in the lobby even if you are not the host, no need to go back to the main menu anymore!
Improved the saved game recovery system so we can change the save game in the backend and then players automatically get a notification to restore it
The warpgate teleport upgrade is now disabled on maps that don't allow teleport points.
Added a new tooltip to the Galaxy side missions explaining that they also contribute to influence points.
Added a new editor Text Feedback Asset with a discord link so map makers can put it in their maps for additional feedback.
Added a new system to download asset packs in-game. For now we just applied this to the bug lair assets, but we plan to add more if it works well.
Disabled mushrooms by default on all maps, but added a new switch in the map editor to enable them if the map maker wants to.
Added helper in snow rescue explaining how to open the arms to increase lift
Door improvements

Players now automatically drop the key when they die.
The key resets position to where first spawned if the player dies because of height limits.
Added distance grab to the key. You can now easily grab the key even if it's floating above or below you.
Fixed if the player holding the key leaves the room the key became ungrabbable
Made it much harder to glitch through the door when is closed
Added an option to the editor to make doors that never close
Balance

The Air Strike is now much more powerful and destroys nests lvl2 even with the energy shield active.
Reward boxes with 500 minerals in custom maps will not count towards adding player experience to avoid cheating.
Reduced melee damage on lvl2 spawners.
Added limitations to larvae spawn rates on Easy and Normal to make maps accessible to new players.
To reduce the effect of speedrunning in the galaxy we added number of bug kills to the influence formula. Now to get the all the influence points you now need to kill:

50 bugs on insane difficulty
25 bugs on hard difficulty
15 bugs on normal difficulty
Changes to map ratings
This update comes with several changes to how the map ratings work based on feedback we received from the community:

The player has to play more than 3 minutes to rate a map.
Changed the top rated and featured sections to update every day with a random list.
Changed how the ratings calculation works so potential initial negative ratings weigh less than the subsequent positive ratings.
We now recover the difficulty at which the player rated the map, we will make this information available to the map maker in the next update.
Badges now recalculate every time someone rates the map with this formula. From 10 to 25 ratings, the badge will be updated :

3.5-4 = Bronze
4-4.5 = Silver
>4.5 = Gold
At 25 votes, if rating > 4.5 = Platinum
At 50 votes, if rating > 4.5 = Diamond
Badges can only increase, never decrease.
Fixes

Fixed Mushrooms blinding players for an entire match if killed right after they spawned
Fixed being able to change the difficulty in the play again panel on single difficulty maps
Fixed some cases where larvae didn't have enough spots to spawn a nest creating disconnects from the server
Fixed double damage doesn't reset in the Bow, Shotgun and Missile launcher
Fixed an issue where if a player didn't claim the galaxy reward before the next galaxy started he would lose the reward
Fixed reward boxes giving red swords if the host had the red sword
Fixed In Zephyr temple there’s a ramp that is partly unwalkable
Improved fire performance of the dragons.
Fixes editor

Fixed damage over time not working on clients when playing from the editor
Fixed if you leave an occlusion volume (1 / detect groups only) and enter occlusion volume (2 / detect groups only) Through an occlusion trigger (1) Will result in: occlusion volume (2) not loading grouped assets.
Fixed Pico players with chinese keyboards not being able to publish maps
Fixed fire not getting hidden by occlusion volumes
Fixed fire killing the player in the editor
Fixed the warpgates getting included in box selection grouping
Cheers!

Added negative button to the scale keyboard
