This update further expands ship customization with balloon stripes and armor paints. You'll be able to choose your balloon stripe color from the cosmetic menu using any existing color you have already unlocked. The armor paints must be unlocked from the research menu and you'll be able to apply any of the shapes to the flat square surfaces of armor plates.
Oil is breaching bedrock in this update. Oil is required for the new armor paints and replaces cyprium as the major resource cost for pressure wells. Oil can only be found underwater, so keep an eye out for the black liquid floating to the surface.
1.11.1
Major Features
- Added armor paint parts. Armor paints can be applied to the flat square surfaces of armor plates. Armor plates require oil and their own research.
- Added balloon stripes. Your stripe color can be selected from the cosmetic menu and is unlocked with the same challenges used for canvas and sail color.
Minor Features
- At fort reputation 11, you can extract from the fort.
- Contracts of higher difficulty reward more reputation. The lowest difficulty rewards less.
- Extracting cargo from the fort rewards reputation.
- Added underwater oil deposits. Oil is found leaking from bedrock at the bottom of the sea. Oil is most easily seen from above when the waves above them dip down low.
- Pressure wells and their researches now require mostly oil instead of mostly cyprium.
- Changed all delivery points to the concrete sewer pipes around the contract fort and moved them all to be accessible for watercraft.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed ships not spawning in Escort.
- Added a backup check to help prevent the reconnect system from stalling indefinitely.
