New stuff
- 2 new model skins available, Diamond and Flower
- 3 new paints. I heard you like dark skins so here are 3 new ones
- When using a controller it will now rumble when taking damage
Drones - They now have a small energy bar that shows how long they can continue
- Drones teleport back to the ship when they run out of energy instead of chasing your ship
- Shield Drones now communicate a little bit so they don’t cover the same enemy at the same time, making multiple shield drones a lot more effective
- Mining drones can now mine twice instead of once before having to recharge
Balancing
- Bodies recycle crystal gain reduced from 5->3
- Crystals for buying skins can no longer be earned in Swarm mode.
- Increased Swarm mode difficulty curve
- Now has reduced crystal gain per loop
- Increased ammo usage of machine gun
Bug fixes
- After the last update’s camera changes the screenshake was behaving a bit strange. It has been fixed
- Shield Drones would sometimes be rotated strangely where the drone would not be positioned over the shield as expected.
- Fixed Gas flowers jerky movement
- Adjusted how the camera follows planet exploration to solve a bug where it would sometimes not stop focusing the planet
- Fixed Laser shotgun size issue where it was treated like a half module in certain positions.
Other
- The rotate instruction in build mode will no longer show up for modules where rotation does not matter, like bodies, thrusters etc.
- Minor color adjustments to Tubes and Bubble model skins
Please enjoy!
