0.7.6: Controller Support
Hey Drifters,
Controller Support is finally here!
We've been hard at work implementing controller support to bring you the most optimal joystick experience. We will continue to improve this in future patches, so give it a spin and share your thoughts!
In addition, we've taken a look at the entire User Interface. Lots of the UI was either temporary or quickly built-up during Early Access. This is no longer the case as all of it has been reworked and mostly finalized :)
What's next?
Next up is the Farmer! The food pipeline has been lacking for a while. In the early game, food often came with the downside of pollution. Not being able to fix this doesn't feel great. In the late game, making yummy food is notoriously hard to keep up. At that point, there's a clear need for a farming setup. Thus, we're aiming to fix these aspects with our newest specialist.
