Hello, Pioneers!

We’ve just released a new build update for Brave New Wonders. This update focuses on improving the overall game feel, making early gameplay smoother, and adding several new features, fixes, and polish passes.

✨ New Features & Quality of Life Improvements

New sound effects: We added to improve feedback and make interactions feel more responsive.
More signal types: New colours, including Orange, Black and White, which can be used when setting up instructions.
Quick Deposit: The quick deposit feature has been added. You can now click a button to quickly deposit required materials for Airship construction, Construction sites and Research. As long as you have the relevant materials in your nearby Monowheel, the game will help deposit them automatically.
New Enemy Type: Roller: The Roller is small, fast-moving, and dangerous at short range. Watch out when exploring, especially if you let it get too close.
Factory Animation Updates: We updated animations for several factory buildings, including: General Factory, Power Factory and Advanced Factory. It should be more obvious when they are operating vs not.
Economy View Update: Mining and research materials have now been added to the Economy View.

More general UI updates across the game.
Further improved tutorial based on player feedback.
Polished in-game copywriting to make instructions clearer and easier to follow.

🛠️ Fixes

This build also includes several important fixes:

Fixed Airship position sometimes not loading properly.
Reduced overlapping item signals flickering.
Fixed mine nodes not showing remaining contents in the Inspector.
Fixed Tech Tree shortcuts sometimes not working.
Fixed camera position issues when returning from Remote Mode.
Fixed Recycler relocation issues.
