Instructions for NPC CATs are composed by AI during the command phase, just as they are when controlled by a player. Each CAT has its own distinct behavior policy, and we improved processing because some CATs were failing to respond appropriately to certain situations.
Additions
- Prevented CATs with Lone Cat from intruding battle and added dedicated CATs for intrusion instead.
- Added extra effects to M.Core - Dream and M.Core - General.
Modifications
- Changed the behavior of drones for reconnaissance purposes to prevent them from engaging in combat excessively.
- Improved how CPU-controlled CATs react to environmental heat levels.
- Adjusted the in-combat movement of CATs equipped with a Guideless Light or a Bullet Timer.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed: Compressed Explosion fails to function when weapons with an AoE radius of 1 are combined with Compressed Explosion and Blast Radius +1.
- Fixed: CATs equipped with storage modules can leave a playfield under unintended conditions.
- Fixed: CPU-controlled CATs in a dangerous area might stop moving.
