  • Ranged enemies no longer attack drones - expect this to return once drone repair is enabled

  • Harvester drone - increase capacitor stats/upgrades

  • Fix bug where upgrading drones could result in upgrades not progressing, but still costing power at player base

  • Reduce amount refineries earn by default to 25/sec

  • Map Changes - rover position moved up 1 grid so the un-buildable area around the rover is now 3×3, this allows enemies to properly encircle the rover

  • Some turret upgrades now include a cost per shot increase

  • Upgrades UI details panel now shows text for the upgrade type/value and the increased cost per shot if applicable

  • lower target points on some enemies to help with overshooting

  • reduce large enemy agent size to promote denser crowding around rover

  • increase rover default capacitor transfer rate (because there are no rover upgrades yet)
