To opt into experimental install "Cepheus Protocol Experimental" in your steam library.
It is no longer a beta opt in but an entirely new game granted when you purchase the base game.
As we work to wrap up 1.2 in the coming weeks our goals will be working out bug and balance issues introduced with this patch. The next goal for 1.2 will be to add more "Ambient" civilians in the form of cars/people that litter/populate the cities regardless of their faction and then we will conclude with modernizing the "look" of the ROE tab. Then its the Police Faction and Anarchist time in 1.3 We we will spend 1-2 months (developing 1.3 on experimental) on completely redoing the Factions and deprecating the "Zone" capture circles they use in the experimental "Factions" opt in. The current capture truck method wil be standardized and their AI will know how to properly interact and seek them out

[h3]New Versioning Number system[/h3]
[expand]
We are changing the way we do version numbers to simplify them going into the future. The one will represent a "release" version and the octet following it will the title update or major patch version we are on.
1.2.1
1 = Release version
2 = Title Update (Major Update)
1 = Minior Fix/bug fixes etc

[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.

Patch Notes
(Click Show details for a full breakdown of the changes)[expand]
- Set the starting supply for the faction archetypes to 0
- New Faction based resource added Supply which is created by a conversion rate of Cash to Supply for factions in the Diplomacy options.
- Trade Widget added for transferring supply to Dynamic Civilian groups. These groups can now be "fed" to cause them to expand quicker.
- At the moment they are limited to 2 Dynamic Civilian camps per zone but we will be expanding this to three and adding Strongholds this coming week.
- Added a fix to scaling issues when civvies prefabs spawn walls that do not have a scale of 1.0
- Reputation can be bought with factions by trading cash to convert into this universal resource supply
- Quick fix to an instance of a building in PI_G01 which had an exit door that led inside of another building (causing civvies to 'bunch up' in an area where they couldn't escape)
- Dynamic Civilian camps now have 1 defense team at all times
- Dynamic Civilian camps now can recruit up to 3 squads and use them to gather supply passively in the world or task them to Attack/Defense missions.
