Alien Update
[h2]Alien Update now live in Desynced![/h2]
[h3]Greetings, Operators![/h3]
Over the past few weeks this update has been cooking on the Experimental branch, and we want to give a big thank you to everyone who tested it early and shared feedback with us!
Today everything we built, tweaked and polished there is going live on the Main branch, so even those of you who prefer a more stable experience can now enjoy all the changes. Your existing save files will work just fine. You can pick up right where you left off after the last update.
[h2]Patch Highlights at a Glance[/h2]
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1450900/Desynced/
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h3] 🖥️ A Fresh Unit Interface[/h3]
The main interface is now centered in the screen combining both inventory and component sockets for a more streamlined experience. A new foldout link editor was added to support complex register connections for example with a large number of behavior parameters. The link editor can even be quickly accessed by just pressing E while having nothing selected and hovering over a unit.
[h3] 🤖 Order System Improvements[/h3]
Up until now any idle bot could pick up any available order and do it, even if it meant the target was on the other side of the base. Now with the improved system another bot can decide that it is better positioned to do an order and it will take over, as long as the first bot in line hasn't gone and picked up the ingredients from the source already. This results in a drastic improvement
of efficiency for both big and small bases. So next time you marvel at your grand city, take a look at your bots and how they've just gotten a lot smarter!
[h3] 📘 System Index[/h3]
A new hotkey was added to the I key which will open the System Index. Additionally, while having the mouse over any item which shows the details next to the mouse cursor, pressing I will transform the detail view into the new and intractable System Index where details can be browsed just by clicking on icons. There even is a "Go to Control Center" button to quickly see details of owned units and items. Very handy!
[h3] 📚 Library Upgrades[/h3]
The library window now has been simplified to just show two tabs. Library and Favorites. If you're a veteran you might be confused where the "Faction things" or the "My things" are but rest assured, they have just been renamed to make their use more clear.
So Faction Blueprints and Faction Behaviors are now just listed under the Library tab. My Blueprints and My Behaviors are now called Favorites and they come with a short info text that they are to be used to transfer Blueprints and Behaviors into other save games and multiplayer sessions. Under the tab you will find filters for showing only Blueprints or Behaviors, and there is
also a new icon view besides the standard list view to show more items. The text search next to the filter now looks recursive into all folders and subfolders. Blueprints can be given a detailed description besides just the name (like behaviors!) and behaviors can be given an icon (like blueprints!).
A big improvement is that your Favorites are now available everywhere, you can load them into a behavior controller, set them on bot production components or select them in the build menu with a handy "Load from Favorites" button.
[h3] 💡 Behavior Editor Improvements[/h3]
The behavior editor finally got a large makeover. Parameters can now be reordered by dragging them around, local variables can be given a name. Zooming and drag selections have been improved to feel more natural to use. Copy (by pressing the C key) and Paste (with the V key) has been added. There is now infinite undo and redo and keyboard support has been added (WASD to scroll, C/V to copy/paste, Z/Y for undo/redo, Del to delete). While not yet a tutorial for behaviors, the help pages have been made accessible via a "Help" button in the behavior editor.
A potentially breaking change was to make behaviors clear the values of local variables when the behavior ends (and automatically restarts). The old behavior of keeping values in local variables is still available but now needs to have the "Keep variables" in the behavior start box checked. If you rely on this behavior, be sure to go and check that box!
A simple debug mode with breakpoints has been added, which will pause the behavior when it reaches an instruction that has been marked with a breakpoint to figure out and hopefully resolve any issues you have with complex behaviors.
Lastly, instructions can now be added with a new quick access menu, right-click anywhere on the node graph and a menu will list all instructions. Immediately you can type into the search filter, use down and up keys to select your desired instruction and press Enter to add the instruction. If right-clicking on a pin connection, the new instruction will even automatically get connected to it. Making behaviors is now faster and easier than ever!
[h3] 🚀 Mothership Mission[/h3]
A bunch of missions, goals and text popups have been combined into a new main story mission called "Repair the mothership" which will guide a player from the start of the game. If you're the player that looks for something to do, checking the next step of this mission will always have a good suggestion for the next goal to work towards.
[h3] 👽 The Alien Story[/h3]
A new large story mission revealing the Alien History has been added, connecting directly to the Human story arch which was closed in the Space/Time update. In tandem, the new alien technology tree called "Energetics" provides plenty of new technology and units to research and create.
[h3] ✨ We hope you're as excited as we are to learn more than ever about the world of Desynced![/h3]
