Update notes for September 15th, 2024

First update here we go!! ːsteamhappyː Game jumps from v1.20 to v1.24 today.

Bug squashing

• Issue

  With damaged (1 to 3) systems, repairing on habitable planets, hovering over the "repair" button, the game would freeze.

  Cause

  Infinite loop executing on the damaged systems blue notification effect.

  Solution

  Loop closed, no execution till infinity ^^'.

• Issue

  With arsenal lvl3, it's possible to pay ransom without money.

  Cause

  Code error in resource verification for action.

  Solution

  Condition correction for action validation.

• Spying 1 to 3 jumps away, arriving with 0 invisibility, spying doesn't consume the other actions possible on that spot, which the player can still perform if the conditions are met.

• Sound FX made to overlap instead of the new one playing cutting the previous.

• Master warning/master caution blinking again with the new random failure system (see below)

• Map reticle made to disappear with the entity that the player engaged with (see new topography reticle below)

• Autonomy overshooting corrected (capped at 32 jumps)
