Titan Outpost News

This is a big one. New features, a new item, a new model for the rover. Also many improvements, minor fixes and quality of life changes. A game-breaking bug that was rare and hard to reproduce has finally been fixed. Many thanks for all your feedback and I hope you continue to enjoy the game.

[h2]Changelog[/h2]
[h3]Major Fixes[/h3]

• Time advancement bug fixed. For some people, time would no longer advance correctly after a rare drone-related issue.
  

[h3]New Features[/h3]

• Default Run Mode - You can turn on the 'run/walk' toggle in the gameplay options menu. This will allow you to switch between clicking-to-walk and double-clicking to run or vice versa by clicking a button in the lower-left corner or hitting the '/' key.
  
• Static camera has two zoom levels you can cycle between using + en - keys or the scroll wheel. Right now, this only works at the Outpost vicinity, the Command Center, the Cryovolcano, Polely Macula and Tuxing Liu.
  
• Jeng Boots - You can find these boots in the footlocker underneath the screen showing the painting of Taikonaut children on the third floor of Tuxing Liu. They provide -1 thermal conduction.
  
• New Rover Model - Why? The old one was only designed to look good from certain angles. Free Cam Mode wasn't kind on it. The new one looks solid from all angles and is easier on your GPU. It's also just a little bit chunkier and more in line with the overall aesthetics. It's seen in the header image for this update. Locations where it was not an issue still have the old model in place but this will gradually change. Here it is without any upgrades:
  

[h3]Improvements[/h3]

• Tuxing Liu has had some pathfinding improvements.
  
• NPCs will bump into each other less often and try to resolve their pathfinding when they do so.
  
• Some new NPC work animations.
  
• Maximum skills increased to six at level 12. Nothing is gated beyond 5, skill level six will only get mechanical bonuses.
  
• Improved character names layout for save/load panels in the main menu.
  
• Search panel is now left-justified.
  
• Using an item that was previously selected can no longer be transferred after being removed from inventory while the inventory panel is still open.
  
• The new logo is now shown in the start window.
  
• Characters models will no longer show their hands slightly clipping through the wall when moving towards the elevator room.
  
• Power calculations more accurate.
  
• All Herschel research will take immediate effect.
  
• ICE XI nucleation research nerfed.
  
• Herschel Thermal conversion bonus nerfed to 15%, base modules still draw 5% less power
  
• Pathfinding for clicking on shipments improved
  

[h3]Minor Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed some objects not occluding when you jump down at the Throat of Kraken.
  
• Can no longer wiggle through wall to get to the plutonium stash at Tuxing Liu.
  
• Can now search tier 3 exploration at the TSSM site 'rover' searchable area.
  
• Third Herschel research 'Thermal Conversion' will work as intended.
  
• IPMS relation value will show as neutral in dialogue
  
• Temperature goes back to nominal after turning the heating back even if cutting it close
  
• Herschel exploration questline is shown as succesful after talking to Horst about it when complete
  

[h3]1.151 Changes[/h3]

• The update is properly committed. (1.15 had version control errors)
  
• Being on the sleep panel during certain special events will no longer influence the timeline
  

[h3]1.152 Changes[/h3]

• Applying your science skill at the Cryovolcano after researching Volcanic Tap will no longer allow you to research it again.
  
• Fixed a bug where the EMP parts would not become available in the Table builder after a conversation with Van Hoorn.
  
• You can now ask Val how long she thinks it will be until the Fungus reaches the threshold and a progress report is shown in the Outpost stock tab.
  
• Fixed some ending slides not showing for one of the Ecofront endings.
  
• Added an ending slide for an unlikely combination of events that is nevertheless a valid way to play.
  

[h3]1.153 Changes[/h3]

• Camera in the basement fixed for the new zoom function.
  
• Basement no longer defaults to always run.
  
• Talking to Ling again after Daxia finishes work will no longer restart 'For The Republic'
  
• You can report to Ling after finishing the nitrogen quest without going to Mars for all the completionists out there.

This update improves support for 4K resolutions, tweaks the interface and has some minor fixes.

Important: Left-click to move is now enforced. Right-click moves the camera when in free mode. This prevents accidentally moving the character when rotating the free camera. Right-click still works on interactables.

[h2]Changelog[/h2]

[h3]Improvements[/h3]

• Estimated timeline for constructions and research more accurately reflected when a system is surged.
  
• Surge indicator added to construction station and research stations.
  
• Left-Click to move is now default. Right-click rotates the camera when in free mode. Interactables can still be clicked with the right mouse button.
  
• Overall better support for 4K resolution.
  
• Warping to other stations from the construction station disabled.
  
• Syaoran will interrupt his schedule and always wait by the door after the first conversation with Ling.
  

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed the pump hookup screen layout for 4K and 720p resolutions.
  
• Comms buttons no longer disappear off screen when highlighted on 4K res.
  
• Trait panel alignment fixed in the main menu for 4K.
  
• You can no longer tell Karen about Val's kill-switch if you learned about the sabotage from Karl but haven't spoken to Val yet.
