Howdy Folks!

Update 36.3 is another smaller update, but includes some great quality of life additions and a few fixes. A huge thanks for all the great feedback. If you’re enjoying Mercury Fallen certainly leave a review as it helps with the Steam algorithm. Also be sure to spread the word about Mercury Fallen.

[h2]Controlled Edibles[/h2]

Set allowed edibles section in colonist info panel
You can now control what a colonist will and will not eat, but setting their allowed edibles in the settings tab of their info panel. Allowed edibles can be copied and pasted to better control your colony food intake.

[h2]Wind Turbine Hover Info[/h2]

Hover info showing wind turbine efficiency and elevation during placement
The wind turbine generates more or less power depending on elevation. This efficiency information is now displayed while placing the wind turbine so that you can ensure you place it in a good spot.

[h2]Job Role Assignments Overview[/h2]

Job role assignments list showing how many colonists are assigned to each job based on priority
A new section on the colonist management screen has been added which gives a quick breakdown of how many colonists are assigned to each job role and at what priority.

Check out the release notes below for the full list of changes, fixes and additions. There are more smaller updates coming. Let me know what you like, what you don’t and what you would want to see in Mercury Fallen.

Thanks everyone and stay safe out there!

Howdy Folks!

Another week and, I’m quite excited to say, a minor update is now available. Thanks everyone for the amazing feedback and support. This minor update focuses on some quality of life changes as well as some bug fixes.

Moving forward, I will be releasing additional smaller updates to sprinkle in various changes and additions before focusing on the next major content update. The next developer log will cover some of the smaller changes and, of course, what to expect for the next and final major content update leading to the 1.0 release of the game.

[h2]Dimension Info[/h2]

When dragging out walls, floors and selecting areas there is now a dimension label that will show the width and height of the dragged out area.

[h2]HUD Inventory Info[/h2]
When displaying items counts in the HUD inventory list and pinned items, the count will now also include items that are being carried by colonists. Previously items may have looked like they “disappear”, but were, in fact, just being carried by colonists. This should provide a clearer and more consistent picture of what items are available to your colony.

• Width/height info is now displayed when dragging out mining/harvesting/deconstruction selection
  
• Colonists will now go for medical treatment if between 80% and 100%, but at a much lower priority

• Double craft chance on crafting machines is now 0% with no equipment items installed instead of a very small chance to occur.
