Nexus Construction
- The Settlement - the Nexus now has a stretch of cleared ground between the relay towers, with plots to build on.
- The Resonance Spire - the first construction project. One build for the whole server: every Nexus survivor can contribute materials, everything feeds a single progress total, and the structure rises on the map in real time through its construction phases.
- Permanent contributions - every donation is recorded, and the top 10 contributors become part of the finished structure forever.
- Nobody knows what happens when it stands. The readings coming off that ground are strange. Find the site in the Nexus.
Gifting
- Personal gifts - gift a Supporter Pack directly to a specific survivor from their profile.
- Steam support - the whole gifting system, personal gifts and Signal Boost both, now works on Steam through the Steam wallet, exactly like on web.
- Chat alerts - gifts announced in chat now show the actual supply crate being sent, with a glow matching its tier.
Quality of Life
- Audio controls moved to a speaker button in the top bar, with the same controls in a cleaner popover.
- Forge odds - the legendary chance now updates live as a tier runs dry.
- Badge privacy - supporter and founder badges can be hidden in chat and on your profile, same as the Support Ladder badge.
Fixes and Balance
- Distress Relay bounty crates now follow your research progression instead of reaching past it.
- Reawakening experience bonus now caps at plus 110 percent (eleven prestiges).
- Offline yield - legendary tool effects that add extra yield now apply fully to offline progress, including crafting. If your overnight returns looked thinner than your live sessions, that was why.
