Update 25


Updated reactor formulas and components for two types
  • External circuit - withstands heavy damage, increases resistance to external heat.
  • Internal circuit - reduces heat from firing/reloading

Reduced the resource accrual multiplier for underground bases
Increased the effect of the number of modules on the weight of additional armor
Reduced temperature resistance for all mechs
The heatsink module now only affects the cooling of the reactor after overheating
Temperature resistance now affects the heating of the reactor from the environment
Increased reactor heating from weapon reloading by ~20%
Ammo module now affects reload speed
Added power circuits effect on reactor heating
Added display of potential reactor heating
  • Base Calculated Cooling Per Second
  • Maximum cooling per second
  • Heating from recharge per second
  • Heating from shots per second
  • External heating resistance

Updated description of additional reactor modules
Updated icons for nuclear reactor modules
Redesign the system for saving mech paints for the system of save slots.
Fixed crash when changing mech to the reactor while modifying electronic circuits
Fixed display of pilot relationship label
Fixed crash when one of the pilots is lost during a mission.
Minor manual updates

Old saves will not work.
Found a small problem with a memory read error after starting a new game. It doesn't really affect anything, but it's better to create a new save after it.
Hope saves now will work properly.

Update 24



Added display of used resistances on maps
Added save and load slot system
Added display of the current order of mechs to the monitor in battle
Fixed a game crash when a mech touches a stone in the tornado
Added muted battle sounds during pilot conversations
Added sounds of firearms
Added sounds of explosions
Added sounds of flamethrower
Added sounds of radio noises
Changed the frequency of the pilot's conversations
Changed some of the phrases of the pilots
Changed the priority of conversation topics
Slowed down the flight speed of flamethrower projectiles

Hotfix


The game crashed when installing the city in the last update for everyone except me. I found out that all this time the old version (early 2020) of the world map seed was loaded into the steam in which only four types of the terrain map were used.
Now everything is fixed.

Old saves will most likely not work.
But you can try new cards that I thought everyone had already seen.

Update 23



Added interactivity for weapon upgrade buttons
Added sounds from pressing buttons in additional menus
Added an ability to create a decoy on the global map with a delayed activation option.
Changed how the enemy force field works. Now it protects only from artillery and does not break mech's pathfinding.
Increased the influence of weather conditions
Added one object in a tornado that does damage.
Increased heating of the reactor from the orbital beam. The slowdown has been removed.
Increased the effect of underwater currents
Added new special map
  • The survived nuclear power plant
  • Destruction of a large base with strong defenses
  • Reward in the form of nuclear reactors and components for them

Railgun research
Tesla Cannon Research
Added a new weapon. Plasma Railgun.


Didn't really test it. There may be bugs.
Old saves may work not well.
Recommend to start a new game or use oneversionback branch.

Update 22



Added display of pilot abilities in the hangar menu
Added transparent to buttons in the power menu when they are not active
Fixed pause problems
Increased the number of monsters in different phases
Reduced the number of monsters in the early game
Increased difficulty in the middle of the game on the day 40
  • Enemy turrets near resources
  • Swarm spawners near resources

Reduced durability of snake parts
Reduced snake damage
Reduced impact of energy on motors
Increased price of increasing power of modules
Fixed collecting weapon reload time statistics
Increased borders for flipping book pages
Fixed statistics output
Added animation to installation module to the construction table
Corrected display of the weight of the motors
Improved wire rendering
Added output of component values ​​to reactor build menu
Improved display of current resources on the selected map
Added crater texture to the map with a fallen sputnik

Old saves may work not well.
I recommend to start a new game or use oneversionback branch.
