As well as balance changes and bug fixes this update includes an overhaul of the Minimap and save/load system. The changes to saving mean that file sizes should be 80-90% smaller. However, saved games from previous versions will not be forward compatible.

• Increased panel size
  
• Redid the colors to make player units, resources and enemy locations easier to read
  
• Made the horde direction marker more prominent when set
  

Balance Changes

• Detonation Drone blast radius 1 -> 0.8
  
• Detonation Drone Effort and Ore costs 40 -> 50, 2 -> 3
  
• Detonation Drones will now lose control and explode/do damage in a random direction when destroyed
  

Other changes

• Significantly reduced the size of save files.
  
• Added a bar that tracks the cycle time under the effort resource
  
• Improved performance when units are selected
  
• Fixed lost colonies sometimes being claimed on map load
  
• Increased the size of various GUI elements
  
• If a skill is selected right clicking now cancels it instead of moving
  

Demo 1.001d

Balance changes
I have slightly increased the rate of effort gain as players found it difficult to manage this when juggling upkeep costs in the early game. I've also reduced the impact of Flappers, especially in the second wave as that was ending a lot of runs unexpectedly. Finally, the health of some buildings has been increased.

• Wall health 150 -> 180
  
• Well and Thumper health 40 -> 50
  
• Effort per professional 2 -> 2.5
  
• Workers per solar 4 -> 3
  
• Flapper health 30 -> 25
  
• Flapper damage 5 -> 4
  
• Flapper spawn chance in second wave reduced
  
• Reduced The Brain's Flapper spawn chance buff
  
• Gate health 150 -> 200
  
• Tower health 60 -> 80

• Fixed menus unpausing the game if the player manually paused
  
• Fixed Module levels carrying across incorrectly in saved games
  
• Cyborg and Centurion research should now unlock correctly

• Fixed the tile toggle overlay not updating if the game is paused
  
• Fixed robotics overlay displaying the incorrect amount of effort gained
