Update v0.2.3: Fire Extinguishers, Electrical Hazards & Automated Defense
In the final push before our Early Access launch, we’ve added several critical systems to make derelict exploration more dangerous—and more rewarding.
🔥 Fire & Short Circuits
Derelicts are old and unstable. Restoring power now carries a risk!
- Electrical Fires: Damaged modules can now short-circuit and catch fire when the ship's power is turned on.
- Fire Extinguishers: A new essential tool! Drones can now equip and use fire extinguishers to put out fires before they destroy critical equipment or damage your robots.
- Visual Overhaul: Added new high-quality particle effects for electrical sparks, short-circuiting modules, and burning electronics.
🛡️ Defense Tower Activation
The automated defense systems on derelicts are no longer just scenery.
- Automated Protection: If you restore power to a room with a functional Defense Tower, it will now automatically target and attack any monsters within its range.
- Tactical Advantage: Use the ship's own security system to clear out infestations without risking your drones.
👾 Monster Intelligence & Fixes
- Door Navigation: Fixed a persistent bug where monsters and drones would occasionally get stuck in doorways. Navigation is now much smoother.
- Monster Pathfinding: Enemies are now better at tracking you through complex ship layouts.
- Game Over Refresh: The Game Over screen has been redesigned to provide a better breakdown of your mission performance.
The derelicts are more alive (and dangerous) than ever. Good luck out there!
