Today’s update focuses on gameplay changes, bug fixes, and presentation improvements to ensure that when players unlock a new gameplay system, difficulty level, or solar system, the game clearly highlights it and pulls them toward the new content.
During November, the One More Game team takes a four-day break for the US Thanksgiving holiday, so this update is a bit lighter than normal. Join us in Discord and let us know how the changes feel!
— Jamie Stormbreaker, Game Director
Gameplay
- Ice and Slime pistols are now less likely to trigger on-hit effects since they fire multiple projectiles.
- Increased meat drop rates by 2×.
- Franken Beans' stomp and super stomp now send out a jumpable shockwave instead of doing instant AoE damage.
Respawning
It is no longer required to have an alive player to exchange Hunter Time for a respawn.
If you are out of Respawn Tokens, you now automatically respawn at the cost of a Large Hunter Time reduction.
If you are out of Tokens and fighting a boss, you will not be able to respawn.
- Large Hunter Time Bonus: 120s → 90s
- Large Hunter Time Penalty: 90s → 120s
Meta Progression
- Updated visuals for Minerals & Ancient Tech to match standard rarity colors (Gray, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange). - Notably, Memerald and Amirite have been swapped. - Existing resources will automatically update.
- Added a new chain of 5 Carl side quests for completing 25/50/75/100/150 planets, rewarding minerals and ancient tech scaling by tier.
- Updated the Carl main quest "Miner Niner" to reward 10 Task Incentive Points, since the Weapon Terminal is unlocked from the beginning.
Animation
- Added new System Unlock presentations for unlocking System 2 and Random System after defeating their bosses.
- Reworked the Mutant Boss Outro for smoother flow with the birthday moment integrated.
- Mothership Terminals now play animations when they unlock.
UI / UX
- Current run info is now displayed in the Pause Menu.
- Your active Carl Quests are now tracked in the Pause Menu.
- "Attack Damage" has been renamed to "All Damage" (no functional changes).
Bug Fixes (Part 1)
- Fixed multiple visual bugs in cutscenes (Planet Intros/Outros, Birthdays, etc.), including: - Player appearing in shots where they should be hidden - Abrupt cuts from full system → single planet - Stray objects appearing unexpectedly
- Fixed audio for the Start Screen (Mode Select) starting too early during the loadscreen.
- Fixed an issue where Ponk was missing his Frozen VFX when Frozen.
- Added tracking and a potential fix for a bug causing Ultimate abilities to have incorrect recharge times.
- Fixed interactions missing their audio cues (mostly hold-to-interact terminals).
- Fixed floating Gobble Gazer head meat.
Known Issues
- The Pounding Father’s Referee HUD Indicator only appears for the host.
- No major performance tuning has been done yet. If graphics-bound, try lowering settings via Esc → Options → Video.
- Some input buttons/keys are missing glyph icons; text labels such as “J” or “Button West” will appear instead.
- When observing other players, some UI (e.g., reload HUD) may display incorrect information.
- All cutscenes and voiceover are WIP; many lines are not yet implemented.
