Thank you for the support thus far, we are so close to 10 reviews on Steam which will give us a rating (positive, mixed, negative, etc). Hoping for that last one to come, I'm sure it will in time! It's been a good positive journey so far!

Thank you and back to working on the next big update!

Thanks for the support and positivity thus far! It's been great, another thanks to those who have also purchased the soundtrack, I hope you are enjoying it as I worked very hard on the music alongside the game, getting better as time went on.

The next update will be the Hazards 1 Update. Which introduces damage and you can be knocked out which will for now just cost some credits/money.

This will be focused on lava and fire! But may include some forest hazards (though this is not final and may come later).

Also the basics of the Forests will be coming as well - it's been empty for too long.

Another feature that was requested a while ago that is coming is camera zoom. This unfortunately took a while as some systems had to be rewritten, as they spawned icons based on camera size and when changing the zoom it could spawn icons off the UI. With the update it will handle camera sizes better.


Some screenshots of the lava area (Work in progress)

So there will be lava blocks that can cause damage and you can temporarily put out with water to walk over safely. Also totems that spray fire. Obsidian is a new mineable resource that is being introduced. And more to come!

Please note these are work in progress so may look a bit empty still.

Thank you and hope you have been enjoying so far and will remain excited for the upcoming content!

Small change for returning resources cancelled from machines production. No idea why I thought it was a good idea to just lose all the ingredients, but your feedback made me realize it was too punishing. Thank you!

Gameplay
- Ingredients in machines will be returned when cancelling/reducing output targets

Technical
- Improved machines craft info and fixed it being wrong in rare cases

Thank you and enjoy!

Another small update. Don't worry, I am working on the big updates while working on these, I just think these are sometimes more important and pushing them quicker to get a stable experience.

Some of you might've noticed this new area blocked off, this is where the lava area will be. With new resources and burning rocks, cracks and lava, some of them can harm you - these might operate like simple puzzle gameplay that you can turn them off for a short time to get past. Stay tuned!



So for this we have rain working more consistently. It was a bit weird and inconsistent, sometimes rarely showing up. It also rained in the mines, which was silly. The rain audio is much more improved, its almost ASMR-like now and will be muffled when entering a building or the mines.

Then some other bugs with the dronehub losing targets sometimes. And other small fixes and cleanups.

Technical:
- Fixed rain scheduling
- Removed rain appearing in mines
- Dronehub fixed, sometimes could lose its targets in mines
- Other small bug fixes

Gameplay
- Rain audio improvement

Thank you!

This time we had an issue with transmitters getting stuck, automatically
reported by the error reporting and I immediately jumped on it to fix it.

Also finally solved the issue reported by a user of specific crop missions being completed by the wrong crops

Technical:
- Fixed issue with wrong crops completing wrong missions
- Fixed issue with transmitters


Happy to see the error reporting has shown it's worth already.

Thank you for the support and patience thus far
