'Reality tweaker' module
The long-awaited Reality Tweaker module is now available to all members of the Cosmo Riders guild! You can unlock it in the Research screen, and it will be automatically installed at the start of every Expedition. This powerful artifact is a must-have for conquering the most challenging galaxies.
During an expedition, you can use the Reality Tweaker from the Map screen to remove almost any stage condition or environmental effect, giving you control over the battlefield.
Rework 'Supplies' system
Supplies are no longer infinite—they are now limited by the capacity of the Warehouse module. However, you can upgrade your warehouse in the Research screen to increase its storage.
Additionally, any surplus Supplies will now be converted into RP when visiting the Map screen.
Other changes

Decrease 'mods refund' cost to 5 from 10.
Check and show 'not enough resources' message for Scouting operation.
Happy rides!
