ADDITIONS
- You can now protect yourself in the base bunker to better resist the waves of Nocturnes in the dark of night. You'll find turrets, a device to char anything that comes near, and a device to slow down the Nocturnes.
- The text area when you are in the base on the UI have new elements write "Shelter" when you are in the 1st floor.
- The door of the shelter have now indicators (like the other doors) if the door is locked or not, but this is one is destroy so the indicators are black.
- 2 gray outlines have been added to the slider, which appears in the center of the screen when the constants are critical, to make it easier to see the UI when it's dark.
- A main objective that progresses or is completed will be displayed differently with a specific SFX than secondary objectives.
- An additional CECLON Spring has been added, each of which now yields 4% additional max health rather than 5% (an identical total of 20% if you've found all 5).
- A new information text has been added when Jensen unlocks the complete knowledge to harvest the acid.
- Flashlight batteries have been added near all underground checkpoints once activated.
- A flashlight battery has been added near the last base entrance added.
- 20 crystals have been added to the underground and 1 to the surface.
- Added a "Colorblind" option to the "Visual" menu, allowing users to choose from 8 configurations.

- The time trial paths (the "doors") have been redesigned.
- When a force field is damaged, the solid part of the shield flashes briefly white before fading back to black.
- Some staircase embankments, fences and screens are no longer detected by the camera's adaptation, which means there's less replacement of the camera, which is more pleasant in game.
- The automatic camera replacement system (if ticked in the menu) is now only activated after a 2 second delay without having manually moved the camera to an angle of +45 and -45 degrees from the player's direction.
- One of the spaceship's parts is now in the onboarding depot, to give players a better context for their main objectives.
- The dimensions of doors triggers has been resized.
- Some texts in the workshop, interface window inventory and interface window skills have been shortened.
- Shadows are less black.
- Slight increase in the walking animation when injured.
- The roll now provides a slight propulsion when executed.
- Heat wave trigger zones have been rescaled, and one moved.
- An asteroid rain trigger zone has been relocated.
- The UI of interaction texts has been redesigned in terms of size and placement.
- Some arrows on the beacons have been removed to match the logic of: one arrow = the objective.

- Grass moves faster.
- The white vertical lines have been removed from the guidance system objectives.
- The text "Collecting dark energy condensed" in guidance system step 10 is now aligned with the text above, as it is independent, and the white arrow has been removed.
- The weariness proficiency icon and its +10% text are smaller and the text has been placed on top. The bump indication UI system has been added to avoid being superimposed on bumps.
- Health and mental health loss due to acid, miasm area, sand tornado and electric platforms are no longer based on the number of FPS, but linearly and damage has been revised.
- After being defeated, when you come back, if you had sand blocked in your suit or a stimulant activated, they are now reset and no longer active. The Protector 2, Rudimentary 3 and Survival Book 3 skills have also been reset.
- The flashlight battery located in the underground camp has been moved near the first underground checkpoint to match the logic of the other underground checkpoints.
- The radar's Nocturnes detection sound is only activated when in combat (and not in boss battles).
- Trap activation has been reduced in width but slightly increased in depth to achieve a similar proportion. What's more, once activated, the range of effect has been greatly increased.
- The weariness proficiency could activate every second before. Now, it will only be able to activate every 5 seconds at minimum. Additionally, it will take longer to improve weariness proficiency up to a 20% chance. The text in the interface window character has been updated accordingly.
- The most north-westerly acid basin has been raised slightly in height.
- The Nocturne sample has been moved to the undergrounds, replacing the data beacon. An icon has been added to the inventory. It no longer provides miscellaneous materials but enhances the inventory, preventing the loss of crystals upon defeat.
- The data beacon has been relocated to the surface, replacing the Nocturne sample. An icon has been added to the inventory. It now optimizes the harvesting of dark energy and dark energy condensed, increasing the yield.
- The gain of dark energy is now generally faster, as is the gain of dark energy condensed.
- On the primordial original, the boosted sweep (red circle) is now slower.
- The overall damage and loss of mental health caused by the different miasms (green, yellow, red) has been standardized and rebalanced. Green does light damage, yellow medium and red high. What's more, they are no longer based on the number of FPS, but linearly.
- The red miasms of the following attacks: primordial 3's “miasm explosion” and primordial 4's “contaminated miasm” didn't cause a loss of mental health, but do now.

- On the primordial original, the rotation of the protection zone in phase 3 is slower.
- On the primordial original, in phase 4 goes from 55,000 health to 70,000.

BUG FIXES
- Some open doors were not compensated for in the SAS system of the infrasctructures when at the same time there was a problem with the oxygen trapped in the suit, which meant that we could still be in a “Pressurised zone” when we shouldn't have been.
- The doors would not close if a Nocturne was defeated within the perimeter of the door.
- On the treatment kit, the interaction feedback has been put back in the right order in French, German and Russian.
- The keyboard inputs on the special weapon switch and use UI were reversed.
- The energy capacitor to be obtained from the sales robot did not update the objective, Steam achievements or give experience if the other 2 were found first.
- When a main objective that progresses or is completed and several things were needed, it would show 1 / 1 on the objective window.
- Disarming the spaceship didn't update the objective or Steam achievements, and didn't give experience if the spaceship was repaired first.
- If the spaceship was repaired, it would show 1 / 1 on the objective window, whereas it must also be disarmed, which should show 1 / 2 or 2 / 2.

- Gamepad configuration 4 would not deactivate if configuration 3 was activated in the main menu and pause menu.
- Disarming the Z-Two team's ship was not supported in the window objective interface, so you could validate the objective just by repairing the ship and leaving the planet. The warning text also appeared, stating that leaving the planet was irreversible.
- The survival station could sometimes, depending on remaining health, restore as much health as a treatment kit. Now, however, it restores 75% of health, taking into account the spring ceclons found.
- In English, when you activate a CECLON spring for the first time, it says now in the dialog “survival station” instead of “life station”.

- In the window interface objective, the objective "36. Find the destroyed rock in the north underground" was not validated when completed.
