G'day Scrappers!

Thanks so much for diving into v0.38 and sharing your feedback — it’s been awesome to see so many of you back in-game. As to be expected with such a large update, a few bugs slipped through the cracks. This hotfix addresses the most urgent issues affecting gameplay and stability.

✅ Hotfix Changes & Fixes: WorldTimeAPI Errors Resolved

  • The game will now abort time-related setup if the external WorldTimeAPI service is down, preventing log spam and unexpected behaviour.

[M] Key Interference During Name Setup Fixed

  • Pressing [M] during the start-up tutorial no longer opens the Map UI.

→ If your name was never properly set, you can use [F9] to change it at any time (when not 'Busy').

Tutorial Panel Text Rewritten

  • Most tutorial messages have been reworded to be more compact and clear.

  • Key terms and input prompts now appear highlighted in colour for better visibility.

Cash Text Sync Fix

  • Resolved an issue where player cash wasn't updating correctly when starting a New Game or Tutorial.

Disassembly Queue Soft Lock Workaround

  • A temporary interaction lockout has been added during disassembly transitions to prevent rare soft locks when switching between components and queued items.

  • While not ideal, this small delay ensures stability and avoids full lockouts that could cost minutes of progress.

  • Far to many hours have gone into debugging this issue and this is the best I can come up with for now — this is a temporary fix while a better solution is found.

NPC Footstep Sound Optimization

  • NPC footstep audio now has reduced travel distance and falloff, helping to declutter the soundscape and improve performance.

Randomized SFX Variations

  • Scrapping, drill, and clicking sounds now play with subtle pitch variation to reduce repetitiveness.

Dummy RNG E-Waste Save Fix

  • Resolved an issue where Dummy RNG-based E-Waste items were not being saved correctly.

Removed Excess Log Spam

  • Cleared out several redundant log messages to reduce console clutter and improve performance tracking.
