Ocean Punk · published · build 19895230
Hello, players! I'm Qiuhe, the developer of "Ocean Current Punk". It's been a while since we last met. Today, we are going to release the 1.8 version update.
Last month, we restarted the update plan and launched the "Adventure" DLC. We are truly grateful for the experience and support from our friends. The upcoming updates will also include updates for the Adventure DLC. Please stay tuned.
In August, I redid several "neglected" characters. I hope you'll like them. At the same time, I have been continuously optimizing based on player feedback. Currently, the overall gameplay experience has been greatly improved. I'm looking forward to your experience. Without further ado, let's take a look at what has been done!
Character Changes
Change all the crew attacks to bullets to increase the playability.
Robot redo
Robots can be upgraded with gears to enhance their movement speed, strength, intelligence, and charm.
Robot removes the Lightning passive.
Robots gain the ability of electromagnetic wireless charging and slowly restore their stamina (energy points).
Robots remove hunger and thirst, only requiring energy points.
The negative leakage of the robot is changed to: leakage may occur only when the humidity value is reached.
Remove the special events of Schmel and the engineer
Redo Engineer Traits
Redo Milan's (Beggar) traits

Optimize the fog and collision barriers to prevent crew members from passing through directly.
Optimizing the wall should impede bullets.
Fix archive compatibility issues
Enemies generated in the room: zombies, spider nests, skeleton men, etc.
Relocate the old camp: Some food and traveler's diaries can be obtained from the previous camp, which has now been moved to the new house.
Recreate the magma fissures (as land masses), and the terrain will impede players.
Optimize the story-specific traits of the exclusive land: Abyss, Misty Mushroom Tree. Modify the land and remove some special effects.
Update
Optimize the Mod framework: Optimize the framework, support Harmony patches, and improve mod examples.

Redesign the nautical chart pointer: change it to a cursor and a floating tooltip panel.
Revised crew member falling overboard event: After a crew member falls overboard, they will only be wet, have a fear buff, and lose their equipment.
Improve the prompt for building consumable materials: for example, the consumable requirements for the Fungus Culture Dish (alcohol), and the same applies to other buildings.
Improve the resource view: Add a "All" button (magnifying glass icon): Clicking it will display the "All Resources Preview" panel at the lower left corner, and it supports star marking and search.
Newly added hotkeys for switching perspectives (T) and being on alert (Y).
Adjust the weights of islands (increase the weights of rare islands such as volcanic, glacial, and peat islands)
Adjust the role label block: Change the color block next to the role avatar to a color circle.

Optimized resource star marking: Even if the number of marked items is zero, it should still be permanently displayed.
Optimize the player feedback mechanism
Optimization Tutorial: If a fire breaks out, extinguish it immediately until the fire-fighting tutorial, similar to invincibility in battle.

The deck was repaired and not damaged, but the building on it still shows the bug of leakage.
Fix the bug that causes already launched satellites to become launch-ready when loading a saved game.
Remove the cutscenes. (It's better to be concise.)
Rename the project and assembly to "OceanPunk" and improve the archive patch program.
Remove the crew log (while keeping the character relationships intact)
(English localization seems unable to match the images. I'm sorry. I will pay attention to this issue.)
