Scavengers, it's time to track your legacy. Version 0.4.0 is one of our biggest technical updates yet, introducing long-term progression tracking and significant improvements to the game's core physical and biological systems.
Your progress is now being tracked across all missions. We've implemented a robust statistics engine that monitors your performance in the void:
Global Stats: Track your total scrap collected, hostiles neutralized, drones claimed, and even your "vacuum kills."
Achievements: Reach specific milestones to unlock achievements. Whether you're a master scavenger or a ruthless hunter, your progress is now permanent.
Persistence: All statistics are now saved and loaded with your profile.
We’ve gone back to the drawing board with the ship's decompression logic.
Vacuum 2.0: Depressurization is now more stable and predictable. The physical force exerted by the void has been refined for a more realistic (and dangerous) experience.
Internal Door Stress: The logic for how vacuum affects connected rooms has been polished to ensure seamless transitions between atmospheric and airless environments.
The biological infestation is evolving. The Insect Swarm is now much more reactive:
Light & Motion Sensitivity: Swarms will now react dynamically to your drone's flashlight and movement.
Tactical Disengage: Enemies now have a "disengage delay," meaning they won't immediately forget you once you break line of sight. They will search for you.
Version Tracking: Current game version (v0.4.0) is now clearly displayed in the bottom-right corner of the main menu.
Bugfixes: Multiple fixes for drone pathfinding and UI consistency.
