We're back with another list of changes! In particular, we've been looking into improving the Repair Desk with changes that should help make that station feel more enjoyable and less tedious with having to hop in and out for each repair Module. We were not 100% happy with the flow of how this used to work and at times could make the station feel a little slow.
We have now opted for a self contained problem per Module that should now be completable without having to refer to the repair manual every time! We have also replaced the Repair Manual with a more interactable and helpful Repair Terminal! This can be used to learn how each Module functions as well as displaying a handy video on how each one is solved! We hope this change will help with the feedback and understanding of this station moving forwards!
Without further ado, here are a list of changes to expect in v1.2.0!
