Nexus Construction

  • The Settlement - the Nexus now has a stretch of cleared ground between the relay towers, with plots to build on.

  • The Resonance Spire - the first construction project. One build for the whole server: every Nexus survivor can contribute materials, everything feeds a single progress total, and the structure rises on the map in real time through its construction phases.

  • Permanent contributions - every donation is recorded, and the top 10 contributors become part of the finished structure forever.

  • Nobody knows what happens when it stands. The readings coming off that ground are strange. Find the site in the Nexus.

Gifting

  • Personal gifts - gift a Supporter Pack directly to a specific survivor from their profile.

  • Steam support - the whole gifting system, personal gifts and Signal Boost both, now works on Steam through the Steam wallet, exactly like on web.

  • Chat alerts - gifts announced in chat now show the actual supply crate being sent, with a glow matching its tier.

Quality of Life

  • Audio controls moved to a speaker button in the top bar, with the same controls in a cleaner popover.

  • Forge odds - the legendary chance now updates live as a tier runs dry.

  • Badge privacy - supporter and founder badges can be hidden in chat and on your profile, same as the Support Ladder badge.

Fixes and Balance

  • Distress Relay bounty crates now follow your research progression instead of reaching past it.

  • Reawakening experience bonus now caps at plus 110 percent (eleven prestiges).

  • Offline yield - legendary tool effects that add extra yield now apply fully to offline progress, including crafting. If your overnight returns looked thinner than your live sessions, that was why.
