Penkura News

Another batch of fixes and improvements. With the addition of a few new items.

At the release of Merging Patch part 8 we mention that we are adding a two-way communication between the player and the dev-duo. We would like to inform that this system is now finished and fully operating.

We planned to implement a small UI text scaling system in this patch, but it will be pushed a day or two, to fix UI size adjustment for 4k screens.

◈ Improved base Magnetic Wind Turbine power production from 5-16 to 6-19.

◈ Added new item to the game.
- Data Storage - Magnetic Wind Turbine Optimization.

- Gorecoil Coil Chunk (Small)

◈ Improved description of Data Storage - Solar Panel Optimization T-1.

◈ Two way communication between the player and the developer is now fully implemented, and active.

Another batch of fixes and improvements. Also an update to the fix made in the previous patch. Specifically Mining Outpost. This fix may have reset the trigger for activating the solar panels and ore extractors, which will require a second activation from the player.

We are also making a minor change to the Ore Refinery, from now on it will accept 500.5 on each ore slot. This is a temporary solution to a near future quality of life feature, which will allow the player to set the slot to a specific ore. This will help with swiftly moving the ore from inventory to ore refinery.

In this patch we are fixing a lot of issues reported by our community, we are also starting to slowly implementing Quality of Life changes, one of which is the Immersive UI disable button.

In-case someone wants to remove special effects from handheld items or intractable screens such as MMC or CCC, now it is possible to do so in the main menu > options > Game & UI.



For the moment, this system affects all of the intractable items in the game, but there are a few none intractable objects that will be added to the list at a later date.

Upcoming Accessibility Update: Special Effects Toggle Options

Some players have reported that certain special effects on-screen can be too strong or distracting. To improve accessibility and provide a more comfortable experience, we are working on implementing new options to allow players to adjust these effects to their preference.

In an upcoming update, we will be adding two separate toggle options in the UI section of the Player Options menu:

1. Hand-Held Effects Toggle – This option will allow players to disable special effects on hand-held items, such as tools, weapons, and scanners.

2. Text-Interactive Effects Toggle – This will disable special effects on all intractable objects that display text, including terminals, holographic displays, and data logs.

These additions will provide more flexibility in customizing your visual experience, while keeping the core atmosphere of the game intact.
