Hey!
Episode 7: Bone War is now available to download; please check your steam downloads queue for more details.
This Episode brings long-requested QOL improvement to the production UI, which automates the process of item queuing. You no longer need to check bandages regularly and can now designate how many items you want to maintain at any given moment.
Besides this significant QOL improvement, there is now a Narrative Event going on the planet ESMA-1 called Bone War. I don't want to spoil much, but you can find more about this event when you select ESMA-1 to colonize.
Additionally, i finally managed to fix the Memory Leak that was happening with big colonies; it should be much better now!
Each Episode alters Meta somehow and adds something goofy, and this Episode is no stranger to that. Now, flies will spawn from the Fly Hives, and they will seek Crap to suck. Once Crap is sucked, they will turn into Super Flies and start fighting you.
You can now construct Primitive Town Bell on the construction front, which allows you to gather all colonists around the Town Bell quickly. Besides this, there are now new Graves for colonists with a different variety.
Please. Check the patch notes above if you want to learn more.
