(Midway Branch) Penkura Patch 0.1.9.3 MW 4

In this Midway patch, we made drastic changes to the CCC UI. Not only we refresh it to adjust it to the new in-game model, but we also added a lot of new functionality. Some that were requested by the community, and a few that we planned to add since the beginning.



Players will be able to change the base name, read operations logs, check base stats, and more.



We also put a lot of care into increasing the quality of environmental effects such as gasses clouds created by spores from new foliage added in patch 0.1.9.2.



The entire area surrounding new gasses clouds should see a massive performance boost by up to 74% as we created our own material based emitters. Those emitters will drastically increase quality and performance in the upcoming new levels (that focus more on swamps and marshes).

A small tutorial on how to access the Midway branch is available in the link below.
