0.20.0.95 Full Patch Notes
Features
Text Highlighting: Items, technologies, and abilities now appear highlighted in objective descriptions with distinct colors
Tech Notifications: Added notifications when technologies are unlocked (can be disabled in settings)
Enemy Density Reduction: Significantly reduced enemy camp density across the map
Added a probability modifier to enemy camps that are supposed to defend POI's, so POI's will no longer be guarded 100% of the time, further reducing enemy density on the map (and allowing the player to get portals and orbs without fighting sometimes)
Ancient Treasures: Destroying enemy camps now always drops ancient treasure
Added visual support for curved connectors
Improvements
Made the player map icon easier to see and scale with map zoom level so you can see where you are easier
When mining ore with the player, you will be immediately rewarded with the ore instead of playing the pickup game that everyone seems to hate! (this also makes multiplayer implementation easier)
Help videos now automatically close when completing objectives
Added mining sound effect ("bloop" sound)
Power Distributors can now be selected from anywhere on the map
Mass Drivers no longer output items unless they have a valid destination
Improved map visibility - easier to see your position on the map
Power Distributors received a power buff
Better connector visualization updates (only relevant connectors update)
