Jupiter Hell Classic 0.11 "Terminal" is jam packed full of new content! Callisto has a proper mechanical boss now, there are 9 new bot enemies, new terminal level features and several types of utility stations to be found and a Hacking trait allowing you to take a bigger benefit from all of that!
Also, this is a double release day, as Jupiter Hell has also received a big update - check out Jupiter Hell 1.9 "Heavy" announcement for more details on that!
As usual, the DRL mod and the Demo have also been updated to the newest version!
The traditional sectioned patch notes follow!
== New Enemies ==
GHJ#346 [new] -- Game - new boss - the Warden!
GHJ#343 [new] -- Game - new enemies - CalSec, security and military bot!
GHJ#344 [new] -- Game - new enemies - CalSec, security and military sentry!
GHJ#345 [new] -- Game - new enemies - CalSec, security and military drone!
GHJ#348 [mod] -- Game - Archreavers now a regular enemy (slightly buffed)
GHJ#347 [mod] -- Game - rework and rebalance of Callisto Spaceport ambush
That's a lot of new enemies! Drones are hostile versions of the Tech friend, sentries are quadruped mechanical enemies with a target tracking mechanism and bots bring to mind the evil bot from Robocop (anyone remember that? :P). The CalSec, security and military variants match Callisto, Europa and Io, but apart from stats can have some behavioral differences as well. Warden takes over Callisto, and the Archreavers can finally roam freely around as regular enemies (they got moved to the later moons and buffed a bit).
== Stations and Terminals ==
GHJ#351 [new] -- Game - new level feature - security terminals!
GHJ#352 [new] -- Game - new level features - technical and medical stations!
GHJ#353 [new] -- Game - new level features - ammo and manufacture stations!
GHJ#351 [mod] -- Game - locked vaults more common, might be unlocked from terminal
Jupiter Hell players know the drill - terminals allow you to get map info, unlock vaults and mass hack/disable robotic enemies. Stations provide resources and are fueled by multitools. Technical stations provide mods, medical stations provide healing and healing supplies, ammo allows printing ammo and grenades and manufacture allows you to print weapons that you weren't fortunate enough to find in the levels.
== Hacking ==
GHJ#350 [new] -- Traits - new trait - Hacking! (Tech/Scout)
GHJ#350 [new] -- Game - ability to hack and disable bots
GHJ#350 [new] -- Game - ability to give friendly bots commands (works with techdrone too)
GHJ#351 [mod] -- Traits - technicians passive changed to reveal of security terminals
GHJ#350 [mod] -- Traits - WIZARD L1, requires Hacking, doubles hacked bot health
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Traits - Tech skilled grants +2 drone accuracy at L1, +4 at L3
GHJ#350 [mod] -- Game - SHIFT-move on friendlies will swap position
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Game - tech drones (and only tech drones) can open doors
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Game - tech drone has its own sprites
We did mention Hacking, right? Scouts and Techs have access to the trait that allows you to make friends with most mechanical enemies in the game (no, the Warden won't be friends) and also provide a boost in charges for every encountered station. Several UX and utility improvements have been made to faciliate this and some buffs as well!
== Gameplay Changes ==
GHJ#356 [new] -- UI - targeting reticule size larger for larger enemies
GHJ#355 [mod] -- UI - you can now melee scenery on the gamepad/deck using fire command with melee weapons
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Traits - VAMPYRE - melee healing factor reduced to 2x instead of 3x
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Traits - BRUTALIZER - removed +25% L3 area buff, added straight melee +25% (+50% at L3)
GHJ#334 [new] -- Game - new weapon perk "Piercing"
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Game - pierce ammo assembly has same requirements as demo ammo
GHJ#346 [mod] -- Game - mechanical enemies take +50% damage from pierce damage
GHJ#357 [mod] -- Game - powerups refresh instead of stacking
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Game - envirosuit packs duration increased by more than 50%
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Game - increased the falloff of shotguns to compensate for range 1 buff (except combat)
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Game - speedloader and pierce on shotguns now increases falloff by +3
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Game - chainfire weapons will now be refered to as rotary weapons
GHJ#354 [mod] -- Game - medusas and variants are no longer armored
GHJ#346 [mod] -- Game - medusas no longer more resistant to shrapnel damage
The introduction of so many mechanical enemies that have specific resistances required some balance shifts and changes. Apart from that we buffed one underperforming master trait and nerfed the overperforming one. Take note of the powerup change - stacking multiple powerups won't work anymore (this has quite the impact on the DRL mod). Balance feedback always welcome on the forums and the discord!
== Fixes ==
GHJ#360 [fix] -- UI - mouse control now auto-reloads based on shotcost instead of only when ammo is zero
GHJ#359 [fix] -- Audio - mechs won't play splat sound on gib anymore
GHJ#350 [fix] -- Game - fix grenades triggering off-hand weapon shots
GHJ#237 [fix] -- Game - file I/O fixed, should fix rare corruption crashes
GHJ#358 [fix] -- Game - off-screen death sounds now distinguish mechanical enemies
GHJ#354 [fix] -- Game - friendlies firing beyond vision will no longer get a blind attack penalty
GHJ#354 [fix] -- Game - fixed Wall Hack perk not clearing markers on unequip
GHJ#361 [fix] -- Game - Asgard Forge levers only count once towards Gambler's Shield
