A content update for Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop has just dropped – what a time to be alive!
Alongside the standard array of bug fixes and accessibility options, you’ll find seven brand-spankin’ new vending machines that will open up some fun and interesting playstyles. The Inflationator, for example, is all about quantity over quality, offering an escalating bonus for every job taken in the run. The Large Loss Nullifier, on the other hand, is all about scoring that one big fuck-up, turning your biggest penalty on the invoice to a positive number. You meant to do that, right? Rigggghhht.
In addition to these are five new Omen upgrades. Some are geared specifically to supporting the use of Vending Machines, others designed to soothe specific pains, like Fatal jobs (go on, have a go at repairing the Reactor, don’t be scared). You’ll also find a new ship type, and a jukebox in the Speakeasy, where you can choose the soundtrack to your work day.
As ever, thanks for all the support, keep the feedback coming, and feel encouraged but not at all pressured to join us on Discord.
