v0.2.104 — Hotfix: counts, softlocks, achievements, and event-text fixes

Dead Reckoning v0.2.104 — Hotfix

Thanks for the flood of reports today — a fast batch of fixes.

Fixes

• Crew counts now show your living colonists. The register and roster were still counting colonists who had died, so your totals read high (e.g. register 1023 vs. a true 998). (bug-1551)

• Landfall and First Refusal achievements now unlock on Steam, and any you already earned are granted automatically the next time you launch. (bug-2076)

• Fixed a Year-100 softlock. When an information event arrived right after a decision, the game could lock on "Directive Required" with no directive to issue. The same fix covers a probe report arriving after fast-forward. (bug-2077 — thanks rand, avocadotoast2021)

• Fixed a softlock where a recurring power or food shortage could starve your ship's arrival at a system and leave it drifting forever. The arrival now resurfaces once the crisis clears. (bug-2078 — thanks Caelum)

• Setting course for a probe-scouted world now works — the ship no longer sails past it with no chance to arrive, and turning around no longer hits the same wall. (bug-1556)

• The "last founder has died" event no longer fires while founders are still a large part of the colony. (bug-2079 — thanks kikocrespillo2)

• Research events no longer cite impossible timeframes (e.g. "twenty years ago" early in the voyage). (thanks Caelum)

• Colony ending text no longer ignores your build choices or contradicts itself about who remembers Earth. (thanks 555strat)

• The Mars flyby no longer overstates how many colonists are awake to see it.

• First-night and other early events no longer repeat a line of text.

Under the hood

Each fix ships with a regression test, and the release gate now hard-fails on any of these classes recurring (including event text that cites an impossible elapsed time).
