addedPatch 1.7.5 brings a new item and a shift to item spawns. This new item is the Throwable Syringe. We have received requests for a ranged weapon for Personoids for a very long time, but have struggled to find a safe and balanced way to implement it. We're hoping this is the correct solution, but we will be keeping a close eye on feedback to make sure.

changedVisually, the Throwable Syringe appears the same as a regular syringe. However, Throwable Syringes spawn randomly and not in Syringe Stands. When thrown at a healthy Resident, the Throwable Syringe will unfortunately cause immediate death so please handle with care. It is also not currently blocked by SIIC Shields, as the Shield Deployment System does not detect impacts from projectiles.

added[expand type="details"] NEW FEATURE: Throwable Syringe Personoids needed a well deserved buff so we added in this randomly spawning item that requires skill to execute, but used well it can certainly balance things out to your side.

removedRemoved the Feedback/Accolade system as it is becoming deprecated

removedRemoved Roadmap from main menu: The roadmap was not currently providing any extra information, so it is being removed to help minimize confusion

removedRemoved Leaderboards from main menu: The leaderboards were causing many errors that we have been unable to resolve, so we have removed them as a last resort. Progress is still tracked but display will not currently be available.
