Hello Ascenders,
Another day, another update, another round of bugs to resolve!
We will continue to fix things up as quickly as possible and continue to shape the best Ascend to ZERO experience. A lot of this has been possible due to the community providing reports and flagging up potential issues. Please continue to letting us know how we can improve the game via the CS forms found here, on Discord in the appropriate channels, or in the Steam discussions. Thank you!
