Regular Update

Hello Operators,

Over the past weeks, multiple updates have been available on the Experimental branch, where many of you helped us test and shape them with your feedback.

We’ve now bundled all of these changes together, and they’re rolling out to the Main branch.

Thank you so much for your incredible support, especially around 1.0 launch, and for all the reviews you’ve already shared. It truly means a lot to us and helps the game reach more players.

If you haven’t left a review yet, we’d really appreciate it if you took a moment to share your thoughts on Steam.

• Support pause button and space bar during replay playback

• Added button to add integrated component on robot units

• Show extra popup button on logistics network button for unit selection

• With multiple units selected, show count of each component and also list components without registers

• Add hotkey to step one tick of the game simulation (bound by default to Ctrl+SpaceBar)

• Add "Charge Time" to tooltips for various components (weapons, repair, scan/hack tools)

• Add consumed item to tooltips for various components (Crystal Power and alike)

• For every equipped Item Transporter component a unit/building can transfer an additional stack of items in the same tick

• Support mouse wheel and add +/- buttons to coordinate fields in the "World" tab of the register selection

• Allow inputting multi-line descriptions on behaviors and blueprints (the editor still only shows the first line, but the tooltip when selecting a behavior/blueprint shows the full description)

• When dragging from a register over an object on the map while holding Alt, store the coordinate into the register not the object's reference (similar to how Alt+right-click puts the coordinate into the Goto register)

• Add hotkey for Relocate (bound to Period . by default)

• Added missing image to Registers codex page

• Show icon row with socket and item slot information on building/unit tooltips even without holding shift

Changes

• Prevent Component Recycler component from consuming Deployers (to avoid losing Deployer content)

• Make hacked explorable buildings get attacked by enemies instead of them getting ignored

• Allow a unit/building that has "Supply Items" disabled to pick up items of a recurring order from another unit/building that also has a recurring order of the same item (possible because having "Supply Items" disabled means the items won't forever be passed back-and-forth)

• Update links for wiki/discord/QQ based on language

• Increased default LOD for Ultra Video Settings

• Include component overclocking and efficiency drops in calculation of remaining research duration

• Change "Cancel Research" to "Remove from Queue" to remove the implication of losing research progress

• Move the "Pause Research" button out of the details panel next to the research queue to better indicate that it pauses the entire queue

• Prevent hacked human explorables from creating foundations around them when being relocated

• Improve "Request Item" with multiple units selected to allow requesting amounts larger than one stack, allow selection of channel and creation of recurring requests

• Blight Power Generator component: Order 1 ahead so it can immediately be consumed, allow power generation while docked, clear orders when a bot moves and is not in the blight anymore

• Make a relocation request that only changes the rotation of a building apply immediately

• Prevent relocating a Drop Pod from creating foundations around it

• Increase bug spawn cap limit based on number of factions

• Alien unit Sentinel Tower starts disconnected from logistics network

• Make terraformer components stop using power when not terraforming

• Increased terraforming target values (so reverse terraforming takes longer afterwards)
