v0.14.0 Patch Notes -💨 Speedup Just Got a Glow-Up

🌠 NEW: Meteor System on the Land HUD

Live meteor counter now displayed on the Land Map screen — shows remaining/total meteors for the current land at all times.

Updates in real time as meteors are consumed.

🌀 NEW: Speed-Up Radial Blur

Brand-new fullscreen post-process effect that triggers when you crank the time scale. Bound to X— instant, smooth, and shareable.

💸 Multiplayer Bidding Soft-Lock — FIXED

Squashed a long-standing soft-lock where players could get permanently stuck on the "complete fuel bidding" tooltip across lands in multiplayer. Root cause: stray bidding broadcasts from previous lands during result-screen transitions left stale data on the client.

Fix: Stale bidding entries stamped for a different land are now dropped, and the matching "ended" broadcast can recover from the previous-land race condition.

🪐 Planet Map QoL

Lands completed by other players now hide automatically from your planet map -no more clicking dead entries. Clicking a bidding land entry now properly deselects, instead of locking your map to it.

Land entries no longer become un-interactable when selected - you can change your mind freely.

🏙️ Town Flow Highlight Order Fixed

After completing a land, the highlight now correctly steers you to Fuel Bidding first, then Land Bidding. This fixes the "where do I go next?" confusion many players hit between lands.

💰 Economy Rebalance — Cost Increases

Level 3

🚛 Vehicle Buffs — Pickup & Dump

⚔️ Attack Tuning

Silo Lock duration

20 → 15 days (less oppressive against rivals)

Sonic Bomb duration

20 → 10 days (halved — vehicles bounce back faster)

🛢️ Drill Storage Tightened

Drill nuice cap reduced (1.2 → 1.0) -pushes players toward more frequent vehicle pickups and faster logistics chains.

🎁 More Loot Per Land

Singleplayer planet generation: lootbox count per land increased from 3 → 5. More rewards, more often.
