NEW: MOTHER'S HOME

Added a CUSTOM EXPEDITION machine with a dedicated interface for setting up the Expedition (or Replaying an Adventure). This replaces the menu that appeared after talking to Mother.

Added a QUICK PLAY machine which allows you to browse through all the available Expeditions that you can join. This replaces the platform that was next to Mother.

Added a dedicated button to Join Friends. This appears when your friends are in a Lobby or Expedition that you can join. Pressing it will give you a list of all the Expeditions and which friends are in them.

Added 56 new Cosmetics options as part of the Cosmetics Pack DLC.

Added the option to not have any Ears

NEW: CAVES

In splitscreen, added the option to have one player use Mouse & Keyboard and the other use Controller

Added options for limiting frame rate

Added new sign posts that point towards the Satellite

Added some animation variations when Deprinting

CHANGED

Replaced "Puke Glowing Fruit" with "Puke Sticky Fruit" in the tutorial mutation selection

Critter Spawners in Harvest runs wait a short while before starting to spawn new critters after they are killed

Edible objects spawning from critters are a bit tougher to prevent them being immediately destroyed during combat

You can now hold items while holding on to a rope

You can now destroy dripping acid plants without getting damaged. Also their spawned object is harder to break

FIXES

Many optimizations to improve performance, especially in larger caves

Fixed sometimes falling through the floor and getting stuck

Fixed getting stuck in a black screen after going through a door

Fixed mutations that get interrupted before they fully activate still costing Belly

Fixed caves not showing as 100% explored when they should be

Fixed not getting story mission progress when you should if joining a friend's cave

Fixed some characters not being displayed correctly for player names

Fixed destroyed crystals sometimes leaving behind some visual effects

Fixed bad player movement during printing sequence

Fixed portal spiral effect sometimes getting stuck on the player

Fixed bombs exploding when they shouldn't

Fixed sometimes joining another player's lobby only to find yourself alone

Fixed Biomass Shredder values being shown incorrectly sometimes

Fixed acid drops from the dripping acid plants not breaking on balloons

Fixed not being able to spectate other players after Deprinting

Fixed the hug emote not always playing both animations properly

Fixed an area in Mother's Home where you could get stuck under some stairs

Fixed some critters being destroyed immediately after the cave spawns

As always, our Discord server is the best place to chat with us, share your funky chaos gremlins, and suggest improvements to make Mother Machine the best it can be!
