Greeting fellow UMFers,

We're pleased as porridge to announce that the first major content update for Utopia Must Fall is live.

Read the full changelog here.

Highlights:

New upgrade: Graphene Tipped Rods, cobalt projectiles are slowed and become superheated on contact with nuke fireballs, passing through enemies and dealing damage multiple times (hot bullets)
New upgrade: Full Graphene Coating (hermit only), hot cobalt bullets melt through 50% more enemies

Nullifiers now absorb a limited amount of nuke fireball energy before collapsing into a temporary wormhole releasing a swarm of Anemones
Anemones congregate above the city leeching shield energy. If the shield is offline, life force is drained directly from citizens

All unshielded enemies (except Nullifiers) can now be killed with nukes, those previously fully immune are now between 80% and 98% resistant
All enemy shields are now destructible with bullets, lasers or flail strikes
Cobalt Coil Gun deals 2x damage to enemy shields
Two rare attack wave variants added (Mini Rebel Centipede, Contracting Nuclear Polygon Squad)

There are also scads of balance adjustments, engine improvements, new sound effects, new music, and a few new achievements as well:

Gonnahavemesomefun - destroy a cloaking enemy before it had the chance to use its cloaking ability (enemies that enter already cloaked don’t count)
Hard Boiled - break an enemy shield using superheated projectiles
Seafood Platter - destroy an entire swarm of inter-dimensional Anemones
Blissful Ignorance - survive 14 days without taking any shield damage
Pretty Decent Innit? - suffer 3 shield breaks in one day
Bookworm & Bohemian rewards / achievements brought back
