Titan Outpost News

A very happy 2021 to all.

Here's another Titan Outpost update with a few fixes and some requested QoL features. Big announcement soon!



[h2]Improvements[/h2]

• Befriending the construction bot with the 'On the Spectrum Trait' has more benefits.
  
• Rover Suit charge toggle maintains its setting.
  
• When you pick up the coffee and spare parts from the outpost inventory before the tutorial tells you to, you can now proceed without ending the tutorial entirely.
  
• Bribe value allows for manual input again.
  
• Landing site description improved.
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Savegame names limited to alphanumeric characters to prevent issues on some systems.
  
• Current research difficulty is now always stored in save, using a low difficulty research to jumpstart a high difficulty research exploit no longer works.
  
• Applied Science exploit fixed.
  
• Awareness Exploit for the Herschel Nexus fixed.
  
• Ara Fluctus searchable description typo fixed.
  
• Discovering stranded rover by walking in and out when you crash will no longer put the rover in another spot on the world map.
  
• Clipping camera issue at the Outpost fixed.
  
• Changed execution order of Rover starting point in Shangri-La. This should fix the issue were the Rover moves extremely slowly on entry. Unconfirmed.
  
• Tuxing Liu water now shows up on all graphics settings and you can no longer walk through some of it.
  
• Rare tank/pump bug fixed.
  
• Herschel exploration mission XP exploit fixed.
  
• Tasking Val to exploration will now show the proper amount of minerals gathered.
  

Some requested QoL features didn't make it into this update, but there are a few that will be implemented in a future update.

A few fixes and a much requested feature: Interactable highlighting!

Once again, thanks for all the feedback and kind words. Special mention to Technomancer for being an exceptional bug hunter.

Coming up soon: News about a new game in development.



[h2]Improvements[/h2]

• Interactable highlighting added. A big arrow is displayed above the interactable. Default key is Tab and can be altered in the Input settings. Only highlights interactables, not searchable areas.
  
• You can now acquire a piece of the cryovolcano ice sculpture with your pick axe.
  
• Character generation sliders no longer reset when switching between attributes.
  
• Can no longer get stacked discounts from Horst. You can still get a higher discount later when you improve relations or increase your negotiation skill.
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Can no longer deploy a pump at the satellite crash site.
  
• Can no longer exploit reporting Magnus to Ling in different ways to farm XP.
  
• Can no longer farm dispisition points with Jade by asking her how she's doing multiple times in a row.
  
• Sand at Shangri-La digsite appears when it should.
  
• Shangri-La rock formation no longer has some rocks floating in the air.
  
• Third search tier in Menvra Cistern now yields 10 minerals as intended.
  
• Fixed stat check for an early altercation.
  
• Fixed 'Set by Karen' tag showing up for spaceships that don't carry methane.
  
• Fixed bug where character stats wouldn't always refresh when using the hotkey to open the sheet.
  
• Antagonising Karl in an early conversation will no longer have his face utter lines that are actually said by Karen.
  
• Referring to the science of the radio tower in an early conversation will no longer skip a node.
  
• Skipping the introduction cutscenes by hitting ESC rapidly will no longer prevent the fatigue level from being stuck until the first conversation.
  

QoL improvements, minor fixes.

[h2]1.222 Changelog[/h2]

[h3]Improvements[/h3]

• IPMS will provide a hint about the tholin mound near the space elevator if you ask it about polymers.
  

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Finishing a pump hookup while dying would show the hookup finished box in death.
  
• Fixed an issue for when you get stranded. Clicking on the rover door and clicking on the construction skill button to repair the rover just before you enter would show the 'relevant items' box.
  
• Fixed thermocouple XP exploit that would still work if you het ESC at the right time.
  

[h2]1.221 Changelog[/h2]

[h3]Improvements[/h3]

• Can now delete characters from the load game panel.
  
• Saving a new game puts focus on inputfield automatically.
  
• Can confirm new save name with enter/return key.
  

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Compass will no longer show the first search entry number after finishing a survey search.
  
• Fixed a few dialogue inconsistencies.
  

Some more fixes and improvements.

Again, thanks for the input, everyone.

[h2]Changelog[/h2]

[h3]Improvements[/h3]

• Esc and Space skip cutscenes rather than any key. Useful if you want to make screenshots during a cutscene.
  
• Free camera position now restored after cutscenes, not just after loading.
  
• Asking the Helene Ambassador for assistance with the final showdown has one less prerequisite (you can still change the goal to 'sue for world peace' to get a 10 difficulty negotiation like before).

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Drone bug fixed where Tank 1 could get stuck on multiple locations if it went to Bolsena Lacus and then spread.
  
• Containers wouldn't reset after restarting a new game after finishing it under certain circumstances. The game should now reset universally when creating a new character no matter how you end it or if you die.
  
• EMP cannon at Doom Mons will appear if you place it, leave, restore and go back.
  
• Player character turn radius decreased at Doom Mons so smaller characters will trigger the exit interaction more easily.
  
• Coming back to Doom Mons after placing the EMP cannon will get the morale boost from the beautiful view, but acknowledge that the cannon is there.
  
• Can now tell Karl what IPMS tells you in the very first conversation even if you skip that conversation right after.
  
• Added missing dialogue audio for Karen (Chinese email).
  
• Ling acknowledges that Daxia has finished her nitrogen modifications at the Outpost no matter what path she took.
  
• Bolsena Lacus total methane content fixed.
  
• Vaenern Lacus group total methane content fixed.
  
• Opening and canceling a pump hookup action will no longer block ESC key
  
• Extra surge button removed. Surge buttons conform to the new UI.
  

Quite a few new players around, hope you're all enjoying the game!

Once again, thanks for the feedback and don't hesitate to get in touch.
