Patch Notes
The following is a list of changes pushed to the experimental branch. While changes are usually tested beforehand, please note that some may require further testing to validate.
QUALITY OF LIFE:
Added a range display to the Status Chamber to help visualize the enemy spawn range
Updated the "Close" button on the Discovered pop-up to always show immediately
Skipping the tutorial now unlocks all discoveries, and no longer plays them
BALANCE CHANGES:
Increased the number of hives in the starting area of the Abyss from 1 to 3
Increased spawn chance on Status Chambers from 10% to 20%
Changed Marksman cost from 10 Stabilized Flux to 10 Stabilized Hex
BUG FIXES:
Fixed resource painter tool from showing up in the palette designer
Fixed filter bug caused by legacy unlock conditions, making it impossible to take certain resources out of the hub or pickup certain resources from shared containers
Fixed the Hex Spawn recipe from outputting Stabilized Nitrium
Fixed heat level UI from collapsing on itself, making it unreadable
Fixed delayed entity destruction on outposts; destroying the core is now instant
KNOWN ISSUES:
Bullets sometimes enter a state of limbo when hitting a hive; I may have fixed this by adding a secondary guard to the collision state, but it is unconfirmed as I have been unable to produce this bug in the editor.
Faction switching is enabled, will be disabled in the next build.
