Intuitive Update Part 1 – Seeing Red

Today I have uploaded a new update for Siberian Dawn, this update is the first of the intuitive updates, aimed at making the game clearer, and presenting vital information in an easier to access way. Below I go through what is in this update, and I hope these additions help players enjoy the game more, and there are still several other improvements on the way, to make Siberian Dawn a more intuitive experience. Thank you to those who have provided the useful feedback that has helped with this.


Previously when you selected a card or another item in the game it would show you the actions currently available for it on the 6 Pods of the Control Hub, it wouldn’t show you any actions that were currently unavailable for the item due to something like not having enough Command or no Burn actions left.

Now the Control Hub will show the unavailable actions as red Pods and if you click one of these a screen will show why you can’t currently perform the action, giving you more feedback now on what you could do with an item.


You can only purchase cards in a Market if they have a lower Rank than yours, and previously if a card didn’t have a lower Rank this Rank was shown on the Information Display as red. Now if a card in a Market doesn’t have a lower Rank the Rank of that card is shown as red on the card itself as well as on the Information Display, making it clearer at a glance what can be brought due to Rank.


If there are no actions to be resolved by the Resolve Button it will now show a “?” during the Resource and Tactics phases, if you click this it will bring up the Help overlay that shows what all the elements on the Hub are, along with some vital points about each one to help you understand what they do or to give a helpful reminder during a Mission.


The Bond selection section on the Mission menu now also contains the speciality of the Bond you are picking so you can easily see what area the benefits of the Bond are, and what sort of resources it affects.


The Options menu has now been expanded to contain the Help menu. This is where you can turn on or off the first 3 additions above depending on how you like your Hub to look. The Influence Display option has now also been moved there.


Before you could click on the Information Display to get a recap of the current Event, this has now moved to the Vitae Pod [V] as clicking on the Information Display will soon do something else, which is mentioned on the Help Overlay.


A small update was made previous to this one that fixed a bug where performing the requirement for the final Objective of Mission 1-2 didn’t trigger the completion of that Objective, this has now been fixed.
