Greetings Scavengers,
Today I've pushed a build with some misc fixes and balancing changes. Most significantly I've tweaked the stock market. Overall prices are likely to be somewhat lower, likely to vary less, and will not bug into the negative. It also should resolve the massive excess profit from Sensor 2 that some of you have reported.
There will be more stock market and price adjustment going forward. It's hard to get a read on this unless you start a new game. By all means, let me know what you find by hitting F1 in game.
Join the Experimental branch
Do you like this game? Do you want to see it grow and improve quickly? Then come join the Experimental branch!
For bug fixes, balance and quality of life work I tend to update the game frequently, sometimes on a daily basis, and push the updates to the Experimental (beta) branch.
I don't tend to post the changelogs for this work on the Steam, to avoid update spam. Instead I always post them on the SquarePlay Discord: https://discord.gg/squareplaygames
I need regular players to test the Experimental Beta Build before I can put it in the main branch.
Anyone who owns the game can help by opting into the Experimental Beta branch by right clicking the game in your library > Properties > Beta and select Beta from the drop down.
Then you simply play and file any bugs you find in game by pressing F1 in game as usual. But please come to Discord or include email so I can follow up if need be :)
Hope you can help out. It really improves the rate I can improve the game, plus (missteps aside) you will get a smoother experience, with more fixes, sooner.
Anyway here are the latest fixes (all of which have been in the experimental beta branch a while now... just saying!)
