The old build has been archived for those looking to finish their games on the old smaller Treasure Island map but we dont recommend carrying over saves into this build.
Looking for more feedback from our userbase on what we plan on doing with civilians

Change list
Show details
- Improved UI scaling to fix issues where Translations would tread off the UI buttons
- Added Portuguese - Brazil & Spanish - Spain
- Updated collision presets for the SpawnNode and Landscaping Collision Meshes, so they no longer will intercept long-range mouse clicks (Was messing w/ double clicks)
- Updated SeenList logic to properly 'eject' targets that share the same Faction Manager Initial test indicates that this works very well even when trying to 'place' a pod right next to a building.
- Added a fix for the 'Halt' command not fully working for units who were moving in formation
- Overhauled clicking+double clicking:No longer relies on UE4's double-click implementation
- Avoids the 'CurrentclickablePrimitive' logic which seems unreliable at long range (sometimes 'missing' the ground, for example)
- Uses a new 'just double-clicked' timer to prevent 'over-clicking' resulting in a canceled double-click Result: Double clicks feel massively more reliable in-engine.
- Updated 'SetTarget' logic: No longer 'clears' the SeenList, which was useful for the old 'sight' system. On our new PerceptionSystem, this can result in units completely ignoring things that are already within sight range. Rather, it simply increases the threat level of the target if it is already in the SeenList: if it's not, then it's added with a high threat.
- Additionally, SetTarget now properly will leave 'NoStructures' fire mode alone if you're not telling something to shoot at a Structure, instead of forcing the FireMode to 'OpenFire' no matter what.
- Finally, if the unit's Current Target has more threat than SetTarget would normally give, then the New Target receives the Current Target's threat on top of the boost
- Improved the 'dynamic pod trace' logic from yesterday:
- Now can filter out actor classes and maintain an 'ignore list', as well, to reduce number of 're-traces' on hitting invalid classes
- Created a new C++ class parent for the Car landscape actors, just for filtering's sake
- Dynamic pod traces (for the upcoming Chelsey early game revamp) now allow for pod construction where they'd clear out trees/cars like the pre-placed pods can
- Blow up guy health increased to 850
- Spitter increased to 600
- Gas tower starting health is 6000
- Spine turrets increased to 4000
- All special infected are now more resistant to small/mid caliber rounds
- Spine turrets health is now 6000
- Pod structures increased to 8000
More Operators adjustments will be forth coming as we work to polish it amongst the RTS aspects to get back on civilian management. We expect to wrap up polish and be back on civilian management very soon
Please note the following going forward (Restart your game/steam to get the update if needed
Cepheus Protocol Anthology
We will be launching a new weekly series that will see several chapters added every Friday after release and will cover the chapters of the Novelization with 5 chapters added to expand upon the story and give more value to those itching for more lore/story information. It will delve into and show more about a secret new faction that will become the Anti-CERC in the Cepheus Protocol universe.
Don't forget to wishlist!
