Greetings fellow commanders, Deadnaut has just been patched to v1.3.1! We've been tinkering under the hood of Deadnaut and come up with a healthy batch of balance changes, fixes, optimisations and tweaks to make your experience in the depths of space even more doomed enjoyable!

• Balance: Ghosts enemies can no longer drag deadnauts. This fixes an issue where such enemies could drag characters into the void, resulting in them getting stuck.
• Balance: Hacking sentinels is now more effective (easier to hack, hacks last longer).
• Balance: Enemies can no longer hit each other with their own projectiles (blast weapons excluded). This matches the behaviour of deadnaut friendly fire.
• Balance: The amount of Knowledge stolen by the Siphon flaw has been reduced and capped.
• Balance: Mines are now significantly more effective, especially at higher gear levels, and take into account the wielder's combat skill.
• Balance: The image created by the projector now decays faster and takes more damage from all sources, however, the wielder's detection skill provides more of a benefit.
• Tweak: Stim use is now bound to the left ("[") and right ("]") bracket keys, representing the first and second slots respectively.
• Tweak: Deadnauts with melee primaries and ranged secondaries will now use their ranged weapons when appropriate.
• Tweak: Deadnauts with melee primaries, scanners and projectors no longer automatically shoot enemies unless they've been spotted or forced to attack.
• Tweak: Inter-mission exit game button now reads "Save & exit".
• Tweak: Grouped deadnauts are now smarter about spreading out work when a number of consecutive "Investigate" orders are given.
• Tweak: Grouped deadnauts will no longer wait for the best hacker to open a door if that hacker is far away.
• Fixed: End game debrief was reporting erroneous numbers for "Sentinels hacked".
• Fixed: An issue where the chat log would stop working. A side-effect of this change is that extremely large chat logs will have their oldest entries culled.
• Fixed: The Siphon flaw allowing a negative Knowledge balance.
• Fixed: A few issues when exiting the game.
• Fixed: The Selective Deafness flaw no longer allows deadnauts to open disabled (grey) doors.
• Fixed: Mines now once again apply critical hit effects.
• Fixed: Deadnauts will never attack hacked sentinels unless forced by the player.
• Fixed: A rare issue where saved games would fail to load.
• Fixed: Additional checks to make sure portals don't teleport deadnauts into the void.
• Performance: Updated SQLite library to 3.11.
• Performance: Game assemblies are now built with Microsoft's Roslyn compiler.
• Performance: Updated screen space ambient occlusion effect.
• Performance: Extensive optimisations to memory and CPU usage to reduce stuttering.
• Performance: Optimisations to sentinel AI to reduce stuttering in later levels.
