Content Pack #3: Patch Notes for version 0.8.250721

[h3]Ahoy, Sailors![/h3][p]For July's patch we have our third content pack, which features a new mobile outpost, lasers, snails, fragile deliveries, and more![/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Notes[/h2][p]Outposts[/p]
  • [p]✨New Outpost: The Trader. A mobile outpost that sells weapons, stats, cargo extensions and repair kits, magnets and promotion stars. The Trader will also be interested in purchasing your weapons, in case there are some you want to get rid of.[/p]
  • [p]Post Office: ✨Fragile Deliveries. They give the same amount of coins as the crates and only take one slot, but upon getting hit their value plummets to 25%[/p]
[p]Weapons[/p]
