EPISODE 36 / PS1 UPDATE 9
*NEW: ECR Relay Towers are now guarded by ECR Commandos, and Holy Crosses are guarded by Ark Old Guards. Before destroying Tower or Holy Cross, you have to defeat the guard who is quite strong but pacified at the start of the game and will only attack if you decide to do so.
*NEW: Debris Piles are now guarded by Junk Maidens; destroy them before you can harvest that juicy debris.
*NEW: Guard NPC's become hostile during the night and start scanning nearby areas for enemies; make sure to build colony away from them. This change effectively makes nights very dangerous. When the night ends, they will revert to the pacified state if they were not in combat.
*NEW: You can now mute Mini-Bosses and Guards within Context Menu.
*NEW: Guard NPC all have unique voice lines and Guard Badge above their heads.
*Bomb Pastor now has a voice line just like any other Mini-Boss.
*Small prop cactuses won't spawn anymore as they could confuse players sometimes with an actual cactus that yields water.
*Map Music no longer plays during the night on any map, and instead, there is dread ambiance or drone.
*Enemy Indicator sounds during the night are more menacing now.
*Fishing Spot Indicators are no longer shown while in spaceship flight mode.
*Harvest Markers are no longer shown while in spaceship flight mode.
*Balance: Debris Pile Spawn quantity reduced.
*Balance: Debris Pile Loot Table updated and buffed.
*Balance: Reduced amount of Water Canister events by 50%.

*Balance: Base Stagger increased to 20 from 18.
*Balance: Staggered Colonists or Enemies now take 50% increased damage rather than 100%,
*Fixed Typo/Miss naming inside BGM Player where there were two ALDON_BMG2 entries.
*Fixed Tooltip Bug where Cactus had two icon overlaps (Refill and Shake Indicator).
What can you expect from PS1 Updates?
Post-Season 1 Updates are intended for polishing the game and preparing the game for Season 2, which by the current pace would happen somewhere in 2022 Fall with the release of Episode 37. These PS1 updates don't have a schedule and will be happening randomly during the last months of EA and after the game is out of EA.
In detail, these updates include Bug fixing, polish of the current systems, balance and some light revamps, and localization. The goal is to perfect all the content that has been introduced during EA/Season 1 of Ragnorium and fill the gaps that might exist.
The best is yet to come.
