6/24/23 - Chaos Chain Update 1.10.0

Salutations, dwellers...

Hey everyone!

I put together this update over the course of the week based on some community feedback. I'm still working on other stuff for the next major update, but this stuff here in the change log should be all set for everyone to enjoy.


(New higher contrast UI - Ignore the version number in the image, that was just for my development build)

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

[h2]BETA Update 1.10.0 Change Log:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a few typos
  

Changes & Additions:

• Added some new Steam Achievements
  
• The first time you enter a new district/zone and the intro text for the location is displayed, the game will autosave immediately after
  
• Added a free memory chip to The Eclipse: Basement area
  
• After talking to Tara in the main storyline, you will get access to a useable couch which will allow you to rest and save just like a bed whenever you want
  
• All enemy drones now have a 5% chance to drop memory chips
  
• Increased chance of ambush event happening slightly when moving between districts on foot
  
• Added "Deja Vu" world modifier (Gain a free memory chip automatically each new game day)
  
• You can now only rest a maximum of 3 times each game day (This has been added to first avoid exploiting the new Deja Vu modifier, but also to prevent exploiting the gambling system by repeatedly just resting and then going and racking up a ton of Cred)
  
• Added a special new random travel event for metro and foot travel between districts based on community feedback (Memory chip seller)
  
• Added another special new random travel event for metro and foot travel between districts based on community feedback (Memory Chip Finders Keepers)
  
• Fast traveling will now turn ON the main HUD overlay regardless of the setting in the menu so that you can see your most important stats (Health, Mettle, Cred, etc) during random events (To make more informed choices during those events)
  
• Added a check to the beginning of the random travel events roller which will prevent the same exact event from happening twice in a row
  
• Added Scavenger Backpack (+90 Inv Size, -9 Initiative, 135 cost)
  
• Added some new randomized dialogue lines for generic NPCs
  
• Updated some item descriptions to be more explained for what they do
  
• Added some new dialogue with plot related characters
  
• Improved the contrast colors of the ui
  
• Added a very faint edge glow effect to the ui where the appearance shifts from the border to the "screen"
  
• Updated some main plot related dialogues
  
• Updated some shop listings
  
• Added some new icon art
  
• Various other minor tweaks and changes
  

Please let me know of any bugs or issues you may encounter so I can fix them. This update will be available shortly.
