Hello, Martians!
Quick Update: Patch 1.0.4 is Live! 🚀
As we mentioned before, our team is working around the clock to address the most pressing issues you've reported since the 1.0 launch. We’ve just deployed Patch 1.0.4, which focuses on stability and some of the more frustrating inventory bugs.
Here’s what’s new:
Inventory Restoration: We’ve fixed the bug that caused items to disappear from your Heavy Rover’s inventory when loading old saves.
Note: We are still investigating a separate issue where items may disappear from the container attached to the Rover and another one with Rover falling into the ground. Please be cautious with that specific storage for now.Chemistry Fixes: We’ve likely resolved the issue where Chemical Elements were not properly saving in their designated inventory boxes.
Campaign & Polish:
Fixed several blockers in the Campaign mode.
Note: There are still several other blockers, we are fixing them already.
Fixed various missing translations and tooltips.
Adjusted volume levels for certain voice messages and notifications that were either too loud or too quiet.
What’s next?
Our work doesn't stop here! We are already preparing another patch. We will release it ASAP. We want to ensure that fixing one thing doesn't accidentally break another—Mars is harsh enough as it is!
The upcoming hotfixes we're working on include a rebalance of the Chemistry Tech Tree (replacing nitrogen with chlorine in aluminum rocks, increasing element yields from drilling, and reducing construction costs). We are currently hard at work on implementing element extraction from crushers and miners, along with more campaign fixes and a solution for vehicles sinking into the ground. We realize chemistry isn't to everyone’s taste, but we’re doing our best to make the experience as smooth as possible.
Thank you for your patience and for constantly sending us your feedback. It helps us make the game better every single hour. Once again, we would like to sincerely apologize for any issues this major update has caused and assure you that we are doing everything in our power to address the reported issues. It means a lot to us that despite our mistakes, you are still with us.
See you on Mars!
