In this update we're officially introducing the modding system into the game. While the base game was already a "mod" so to speak, we've now improved the system to be able to load multiple game configs and stack them together. We've also added a modding window in the main menu and reworked the updating and loading processes.
We also felt like we've had a lot of reports in the game that just notified the player that some resources were gained, resulting in a bit of a spam of reports. We wanted to put more emphasis on the reports that require the player to make a choice, so we introduced the option for report nodes, or even entire reports, to run invisibly in the background. Instead of having to click through a report to gain resources, the player will now just receive a notification, leaving only the important reports to be visible.
