Update 1.0.9 — Four Bug Reports, Answered

## 🛠️ Update 1.0.9 — Four Bug Reports, Answered

Every fix in this update came directly from player reports. One player managed to uncover four of them in a single afternoon. Thank you — you basically wrote this patch.

### 🏕️ Camp Tasks Fixed After Settling

Camp tasks were carrying their old production targets into newly settled camps.

That meant a fresh camp producing almost nothing could inherit a task based on billions-per-second production and become permanently stuck.

Tasks now reset correctly when you settle. If your save is already stuck behind one, **1.0.9 will repair it automatically on your next load while preserving your existing progress.**

### ⚡ “Swift Return” Fixed

The **-5 minute expedition bonus** was only affecting your first expedition slot.

It now correctly shortens **every expedition currently in progress**.

The Ark Fall debris salvage reward had the same issue and has been fixed as well.

### 🗺️ Deep Exploration Works Again

Recent map generation changes could create more branching routes than the exploration screen expected, causing the entire map interface to disappear.

Parties could reach a fork and wait forever for a decision the game was unable to display.

The exploration system now properly handles missing routes, markers, prompts, timers, and party information.

### 🔬 Bulk Researcher Assignment

Researcher +/- controls now obey the same **x1 / x10 / x100 / MAX** selector used throughout the rest of the game.

Yes, **MAX works too.**

### 🔤 Smaller Text Options

Requested by a French-language player whose translated text was overflowing some panels.

Text scaling now includes **50% and 75%**, and all six available sizes have been moved into one clean dropdown.

### 💾 Saves

No save changes or resets.

**Everything from previous versions continues to load normally.**

Thanks again to everyone reporting bugs. These reports genuinely help make the game better. ❤️
