Patch notes

  • Fixed MacOS skill tree bug, where you cannot upgrade skills or move the tree around using the mouse.

  • Fixed an issue where the 'windowed' settings option would not save

  • Added 'no cash' and 'no damage' options to settings. Turn these on if you find the cash or damage markers too annoying, and want a cleaner game!

We see there are a few other, minor bugs people have discovered, and we will be looking into those in the coming days!

New Skills

We're going to release a few new skills across the coming days, in particular to enhance the late-game experience. We are taking suggestions you might have for fun skills, so be sure to reply to this with any great ideas for skills you would like to see implemented in the game and you might see them added.

We are also planning to release some branches to the incremental mode that will lock other skill options, meaning you have to select wisely from a set of skills (this won't impact any existing skills). Get involved and let us know what you want to see!

Keep those planets save,

Matt
