thank you so much for playing Rogue Voltage in Early Access. We are almost at the version 1.0 and it's only because of your support.
Only 41 Steam reviews left (!!) until we can push for "Overwhelmingly Positive". If you're reading this and you've been enjoying the game and you haven't left a review yet, it would be incredibly helpful if you took a minute and wrote a couple of lines!
Lots of new content this update as I'm continuing to analyze the pick statistics and see what designs are fun, powerful and easy to understand.
Turbines are an all-new passive module subtype that trigger on end of turn and charge storage cells, a process that now has the new keyword Induction.
Many of the turbines replace obsolete modules that used to be self-charging cells. Now you can get yourself a proper accumulator or condensator and have it charged by the turbines.
I am quite happy with the new design and I think it works great!
Turbine (Rare, replaces Passive Storage Inductor)
Turbine: Environmental (Common, replaces Austerity Cell)
Turbine: Pacifist (Common, replaces Pacifist Sensor, Pacifist Cell)
Turbine: Chromatic (Common, replaces Tricolor Sensor, Tricolor Cell)
Turbine: Dissipation (Common, replaces Dissipation Cell)
This one works a bit differently from the other ones but it's still quite useful
Inflatable Shroom (Toggled, Rare)
Rubber Ducky (Passive, Uncommon)
Exhaust Pipe (Passive, Common)
Coffee Pot (Common)
Smog Trap (Uncommon)
Storage Magnet (Uncommon)
Nitrous Bottle: Grav+ (Uncommon)
New module template similar to the turbine that performs its effect - the freshly templated Random Boost - on beginning of turn.
Nitrous Bottle: Proximity (Passive, Common) - Replaces Proximity Cell
Exploiting Generator (Rare) - Replaces Singulary Generator
This one is strong as hell, i'll keep my eyes on it
Friendship Cell (Rare) - Replaces Friendship Sensor
Monster Cell (Uncommon) - Replaces Monster Sensor
Grease Canister
New Templating: Elemental Debuff
Grease has become more powerful in that blocking a debuff also applies Turbo now.
This is quite strong and fun, try to play around it with Crust or Pollution Generators!
Shower Head - Uses new Elemental Debuff Templating and also applies Turbo +1 now
Sponge (Common) - Replaces the Huge Metal Fan, new visuals and elemental debuff templating
Coil lost the -1 and has been bumped up to rare
Windup Modules now only trigger on end of turn, and not on beginning and end of turn
Fracture Sensor is now in rare (from uncommon)
Factory Sensor is now called Construction Sensor and is in uncommon (from rare)
Toggled Storage Charger is now in rare (from uncommon)
Toggled Nitro Bottle is now in rare (from uncommon)
Time Travel Mech is now called Mecha Slopper and is a character that plays alone!
Activate the integration in the settings, put your channel name and a quick authentification check and hey-presto!
Fixed crash when clicking on the Blizzard in Asian languages
Fixed crash when wiring circular
I'm working hard on a final final boss challenge for the endgame, we'll have another final set of new modules dropping for 1.0 and an all-new character - Nana Slopper will join the squad!
The 1.0 will launch in a couple of months, i'll make a proper announcement beforehand.
As usual, huge thanks to the amazing Discord-Community, who is extremely helpful and creative to give feedback, post ideas, help brainstorming for new content and report bugs. Everybody is invited, come nerd out with us!
Enjoy wiring up the new version. Let me know what you think in the comments or on the Discord!
All the best from springtime Berlin,
