Hotfix - 1.1.8.4

The next Hotfix is ready, and this time it includes much more than just a few bug fixes. To make the game experience more enjoyable for new players, we are introducing several new features aimed at making the learning curve less steep during the first playthroughs. However, experienced players can still choose to play in the old “ironman” style.

• Government grants are a new mechanic that has been added to the game. With this new feature, each time you approach bankruptcy, the government will step in and subsidize your company with a certain amount of money. The amount and number of subsidies are limited and depend on the selected difficulty level. Note that for any difficulty level, you can always choose the “Ironman” mode, effectively deactivating this “grant” mechanic if you want to play without any compromises or “second chances.”

  

• Another new addition is a useful hint added to the tank role assistant. Now, when you select a tank role in the Assistance tool, your engineers will advise you on which tank hull they recommend as a base for your tank design. Note that there is usually more than one way to create a successful design for any given tank role, so make sure to experiment until you find your best design!

  

• Following the feedback, we have revised the compatibility of alloy and assembly type. From this moment on, you are no longer limited to using contemporary alloy and assembly modifications for your structural components. Moreover, we have revisited the UI, hopefully making it easier and more user-friendly.

  

• We also added multiple QoL changes that were requested or voted on by the community. These include new s orting options for the Contract Centre, the possibility to archive rival designs in Reverse Engineering, limiting tank fame to avoid fame exploits in contracts, and others

  

• Finally, we are very happy to add another language to the game. Now the game can be experienced in simplified Chinese as well!

  

Thank you for your continued support! FunGI Team
