Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor News

Patchnotes 0.8.4

Dear Drone Engineers,

We just released the 0.8.4 hotfix to resolve a critical bug in the fuel / energy management:

Fixes

The fuel and energy management was not working as intended since the last update. It was possible to use an unlimited amount of thrusters with just one small fuel tank. This is fixed now.

Unfortunately we also have to reset the racing leaderboards, as some of the top entries used this bug to get the fast times.

On other news: we are working hard on our new big content update, which should come to the preview branch later this month!

Cheers,
Stray Fawn Studio

Cheers,
