Hotfix 27

[p]Just a few things I wanted to get out to players sooner than later. I had not even noticed the inconsistency in hotkeys between androids and vehicles/mechs, but after it was pointed out to me, I wanted to solve it right away![/p]

[h2]Hotfix 27 Changelog[/h2]
[h3]Quality Of Life[/h3]
  • Item Use Button Consistency: Mechs and vehicles now have their "shields up" (or cloaking) swapped with their "use items" ability bar entry so that they're consistent with androids.
  • Standby Button Consistency: All androids now have "force conversation" in their slot 2, and "stand by" in slot 9. This makes them consistent with mechs and vehicles in terms of standby, and allows slot 2 in both cases to be "the thing that is unique but frequently useful" (more so for mechs and vehicles, but still).
  • Tweaks When Not A Landlord: If you don't have any sheltered humans, then "Shelter Coordinators are Slow" and "Homeless People Are Scattered Around" won't show up, since they're not yet relevant.
[h3]Bugfixes[/h3]
  • Solo Extraction: Extraction drones no longer give double resources (once on the actual extraction and once a turn later). This was a relic of how they used to work.
  • Fear For Captured Troops: Fixed an issue where captured troops could not get fear or argument attack power properly.
  • Chief Branch Managers Stop Hanging Around You Awkwardly: In Civil Spycraft, the Chief Branch Managers now properly leave after you talk to them, or after the final doom, whichever comes first.
  • Extra Sprinkles Text Correction: Corrected the "Extra Sprinkles" description to no longer incorrectly state that if you buy donuts from Hudson it is invalid.
  • Invisible Furniture Fixed: In the "Improved Apartments" project, it now shows the amount of furniture you need to build correctly from the start, rather than only after you select the furniture option.
