• Nvidia 4000 series card crash resolved with Birds
  
• Added the Ability for the TUGS to detect Levi and Tunnel networks passively
  
• Fixed to Levi tunneling to make them not choose "stupid" locations to place them (We will be revising this into the next few days to improve it further into next week)
  
• Increased health of birds by double
  
• Increased Birds resistance to bullets
  
• Small fix to targeting issue with tunnel entrances
  
• Fixed 'unit clearing due to reasons other than death' not properly clearing their Population count (which seems related to at least one source of 'extra pop cost when loading saves')
  
• Added more safeties to hopefully stop Leviathans from tunneling 'above ground' as much
  
• Added a new tag-check to the Guard Tower to prevent non-Tower Guards from manning them (if the tower's current guard should die without the tower itself falling)
  
• Updated Gates to have 'CanCharacterStepUpOn' to be no for the various subcomponents on it that had this set to 'yes' (hopefully stops Juggernaut gate climbing)
  
• Updated Grenade throw trace to also ignore enemy units (the mouse will still 'hit' them but the grenade itself will go through)
  
• Bunker Buster weapon added in early-state to the Charon
  
• Removes unit carry capacity (aside from the pilot)
  
• Adds a tunnel-scanner (with scanner widget toggle on the Charon in the world)
  
• Bunker Buster can be fired via Command Window (bottom right of screen) for $2500 (30 sec cooldown)
  
• Bunker Buster deals no damage unless target is below ground!
  
• Destroys tunnels that 'connect' tunnel entrances that Leviathans build
  
• If you hit a Leviathan that's underground with this, it'll take a good chunk out of his health
  
• Fixed the SPAS-12 not having an AimSource socket
  
• BunkerBusterMissile minimum damage adjusted
  
• Progress commit on making Cooldown visible for command widget
  
• Updated Charon bunker buster to 'aim' the ability when the button is pressed, akin to the Fast Rope aim circle
  
• Improvements to Weapon Market display
  
• Shows 'APS' (attacks/actions per second') instead of 'RPS' for melee weapons
  
• Stats display is hidden if weapon is not conventional (i.e. Scientist Scanner, Charon Bunker Buster)
  
• Added description to Scientist Scanner and Riot Shields
  
• Improved overhead ammo display widget for units to not be shown for weapons that do not use ammo (such as Scanner, Bunker Buster, etc.)
  
• Fixed the Charon 'ground scanner widget' not getting cleared if you unequip the Bunker Buster from it
  
• Added Raven options to the difficulty adjuster. Active, Start Day, Health Multiplier
  
• Improved save/load for World Buildings to report duplicate World Building BuildingDevNames (which mess with save/load)
  
• Fixed a bug that causes civilians to be removed improperly from a zone (which was causing the population to increase over time if you evacuated civilians between zones)
  
• Crit multiplier set to x2 max for all guns
  
• Speed standards set on all classes to be the same
  
• Added a placeholder 'BunkerBuster' variant of the Charon class icon
  

Please note the following going forward (Restart your game/steam to get the update if needed

[h3]New Roadmap system [/h3]
We now have a new system for our community to follow along on development. This website will break down all the major systems that are coming each patch. It will not include hotfixes/bug fixes. Sections inside TBD can be included randomly if we are ahead of schedule
Trello and the old picture Roadmap system will be removed going into the future.
