Well Hello there…
I know, you could barely blink and were dropping another great update.
This time we were very focused on fixing all the smaller items we found during testing in the last build and also some smaller tweaks to balancing and cleanup. It was awesome to take some time and just play the game and now mold it into a masterpiece.
Solar Map Updates
The Solar Map menu was the last menu to get the higher resolution update. We finished this up for this build. Much larger so you can see more of the planets around you. A much needed update. We added a completed planet marker so you can easily see which planets you have completed on the solar map as well as a current planet marker that leads you back to your current planet if you scrolled away from it. We also added coordinates on the solar map.
Translucent Orb Updates
Now the Translucent Orbs will light up more area and stay lit longer. These are super useful when mining in the dark.
We are so lucky to have you reading this. Thanks for your interest and time. Here is the full list of what was done in the 2.5 update.
