0.3.2 — Carts, Shoulders & Metro Fixes

Another round straight from your reports.

Bodies go on your shoulder


Carrying a teammate no longer means holding them in front of your face. They're folded over your right shoulder — legs down to your right where you can see them, and in third person your carrier's arm is actually holding them in place.

Loot carts do a lot more

  • Ride in one. Press use at the back of an empty cart and hop in; a teammate can push you around. Take a hard enough hit and you're thrown out of it.
  • Two bodies fit, seated facing each other.
  • Psi cells and the emitter can be carted — the emitter takes up the whole cart on its own.
  • Parking a cart on top of a corpse no longer launches it into the air.
  • A creature caught in a doorway by a cart gets shoved aside, and passes through it after a moment instead of being trapped forever.

Metro floors were too small — and broke the flood job

  • Metro levels used to come out as a line with one dead-end room off it, and every one felt the same. Now the lift has a second way out, stations grow side rooms up to two deep, and there are shortcuts between branches.
  • Because the metro had so few valid floor spots, the flood job could spawn with no leaks at all — the order counted itself complete the moment you stepped out of the lift. Leaks now find their wall properly, and an order can never close itself without work.

Psi emitter is cargo now


The emitter and its cells used to vanish when you rode up. They're cargo: haul them to the van and the job pays out there, in money and materials. The emitter is lighter to carry than it is to price, and out in the yard a cell won't make you sick.

Other fixes

  • Shop: pressing use repeatedly no longer spends your money twice. The clear button stays put instead of vanishing and handing focus to confirm, and the server will never charge more than the total you were looking at.
  • Orders are lighter: only the main job is required now. On a Core or flood shift, the fetch-and-carry tasks are optional extras.
  • F4 writes a level report in the release build too, so if a floor comes out broken you can send us the file.
