Research Story News

After learning that Steam cloud saves can sometimes go wrong, the game now creates local backups as well. The next time you save a file, local backups will be created in the Backups_Local folder. They can be accessed via %LOCALAPPDATA%\ResearchStory\Backups_Local. Older saves prior to this update do not have local backups.

• Added local backup files.

A few more fixes and minor balancing changes:
Fixes
- Fixed a crash that happens when clicking in a specific spot before Snowball Frenzy starts.

Balancing Changes
- Achievement requirement for 'Baller' reduced from 65 to 55 points.
- Composting soil modifiers now drops 2 items instead of 1.
- Soil modifier selling prices reduced from 15G to 8G.

Controller QOL
- When opening chests while moving upwards, further inputs are locked until joystick is released or when another input is detected. This is to prevent players from unintentionally moving up to the chest inventory.

Thank you for playing!

Fixes:
- Fixed disappearing Start Menu buttons for larger screen resolutions.
- [CN Localisation] Fixed freezing when talking to Luke sometimes.

Thanks for the reports!
