Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for your patience while I put out fixes and updates for the game!
If you've played the game, you might've encountered a bug that causes deployed drones to not load in while continuing an existing save file. I've been trying to fix it for a while now and have found another potential fix, which I've pushed to the latest version v1.0.5 of the game. Here's some quick notes/instructions about the fix:
- The drones will start saving AFTER YOUR NEXT PRESTIGE OR NEW GAME after you've updated to v1.0.5! The way that the save system works in the game, if you've already encountered the bug, your drones will have been unfortunately wiped already before you update the game.
- If you load in and find that you've lost your drones, they unfortunately won't be able to be retrieved... I recommend prestiging and starting a new run. If you're updated to v1.0.5, the drones should start saving normally from then onwards.
- While exiting the game, I highly recommend Exiting to Main Menu first using the button in the Settings menu! This will save your progress manually, and will ensure your drones will be present when you load in next time.
Other than this fix, v1.0.5 also has:
- [BUG FIX] Energy boost from Maxed planets on Ceryx now adds the amount correctly
- [BALANCING] Triton's Eye Scrap Speed upgrade has been expanded and rebalanced to reduce idle time
I want to apologize for the delay with the update and reduced communication. I've been mostly focused on trying to solve this drone-loss bug since the last update. It's kind of stumped me, as the game didn't have this issue before launch, and only got worse as I tried to fix it. I was also quite burnt out leading up to launch and had to take a few days break to rest. Eventually, I had to rewrite the save system (being careful not to delete any previous saves) and also rewrite some of the button objects that were part of the issue.
I hope this has solved the issue, but please let me know as usual if you're still encountering the bug after your next prestige or new game (in v1.0.5)!
I know there are other fixes and suggestions to work on, so I'll get back to it and see you all with the next one!
