Welcome back Xenobusters. Originally this was just going to be a quick patch but had a few neat meta gameplay ideas to help mix up those runs. Also I had to make sure there was 67 achievements... :]
18 new meta unlocks...
- Brainal Xenoforms: Adds a new rare Xenoform called the Brainal who psychically shields nearby Xenos from harm.
- Beacon Room: Adds a new Hackable room which when hacked makes all current Convicts a Priority Convict and all Xenos a Bounty Xenos.
- Convict Compensation: Points from escaping Convicts are doubled until a certain amount of Convicts have been Abducted.
- Golden Ticket: Can be used to fully Level Up a chosen unlocked Action or Gadget.
- Extra Extra Left Action: You can now assign a third Action to the Left Button.
- Gadget Pocketeer: Adds another Gadget slot.
- Pong Bansheeed: Your sector Pong Balls can now even bust Banshees.
- Pong Manoeuvrer: You can steer your sector Pong Balls.
Other new stuff...
- The different sectors now have their own colours (so the sectors have more of their own flavour).
- 8 new Rewards/Achievements: Fully Actioned, Power Hackathon, Beacon Hackathon, VIP Spotter, Gigald Spotter, Braaains Spotter, Braaains Butcherer, Pong Enjoyer.
- 2 new Actions: Beacon Repair, Braaains Lure.
- 2 new Gadgets: Beacon Dominance, Brainified Xenoforms.
- 1 new Log: Specimen Brainal Xenoforms.
Misc changes...
- Escape Menu: When playing a research run there's now an option to quickly start a new run.
- Escape Menu: When opened repetitive sound loops will now mute themselves (eg Banshee, TV Anomaly, etc).
- Settings - Fullscreen: This has had some changes under the hood (to improve compatibility).
- Meta Screen: The top HUD elements have been rearranged (so there's less mouse work needed when changing tabs).
- Meta - Pongiphilia: The sector pong ball will now bounce off enemies when busting them (instead of just passing through).
- Meta - Pong Bump: The extra speed is now also given when the ball busts a Xenos.
- Meta - Priority Lift: The chance for the Convict to become a Priority Convict has been increased to 67% (from 25%).
- Meta - Anomalous Specialise: These now have their own chance of giving Special Points (instead of it replacing the regular Research Point gain).
- Reward - Marine Frag Party: This now gives Special Meta Points (instead of normal points).
- Action - Pongmaxxer: The health of the balls have been increased (so can bust more).
- Action - Flare Drop: This now drops a flare near to the cursor (instead of in a random position).
- Sector 2 - Special Xenos: Killing it by using the Static Bomb or Battery Room will now also instantly kill its offspring.
- Sector 5 - Anomaly Apple: It now can't be destroyed (eg by Marines).
Bug fixes...
- Meta Screen: The Confirm button tip wasn't showing when hovering over the unread message box.
- Meta - Meta Perusal: You could move the Meta Screen using the right mouse button even if you didn't have this meta unlocked.
- Meta - Fractal Banks: They could give too many Meta Points.
- Meta - Anomalous Research: Some of them were using Special Points to buy (instead of Research Points).
- Gadget - Convict Stim / Xenos Guts: It was wrongly having a 10% effect (instead of 5%).
- Gadget - Bodged Repair: The hackable rooms weren't renewing correctly.
- Apple - Anomaly_08: It was showing even if the cursor wasn't near the TV.
- Fixed a few typos.
Enjoy! :]
