Greetings, once again, to the WARDENS and the Drift Elite, and welcome to the second weekly update! This week has had a different flow than most, considering that our lead (and only) developer has been busy working on contract for a previous employer for most of the week. But we gave him extra carrots in exchange for using some of his spare time to get you some quality of life updates, bug fixes, and new functionality! We've also started on the visual design of the second chapter of FUNG: COLLAPSE, as shown in the screenshot below.
FUNG - Changelog:
Light shadows now update in real-time as you dig, making it much easier to tell when a light is properly blocked/unblocked
Lights now have a subtle halo showing at what distance their influence no longer applies
Dropdown lists now always show in the same order, rather than randomising upon startup
Made the _secret chapter_ just a _tiny_ bit easier to find...
Added a water amount limit to triggers, for water pressure puzzles
Please leave a comment on what you'd like to see next in Drift King and FUNG, and like this post if you enjoy these updates!
Weโve been elated to see so many positive reactions to the new content in Season 4. Weโve spent the last few days fixing bugs and examining what needs to be rebalanced. This weekโs update should take care of most friction points for players. Please hop on over to our Discord to let us know what you think about the changes!
Adjusted transmitter points for terrasite
Weโve increased the transmitterโs point reward for Superior Terrasite by 5x. Terrasite: 5 pts Fine Terrasite: 50 pts Superior Terrasite: 2500 pts
No More Enhancing Siege Weapons
The following weapons will no longer be able to be enhanced. They are still able to be repaired. DEMOLITION HAMMER IGX-1 DEMOLITION HAMMER IGXX-100 ENERGY ROCKET LAUNCHER EF83T ROCKET LAUNCHER UWR-102 ROCKET LAUNCHER FFM-202
More Broccoli!
You should now always find one (1) mutant broccoli inside Hyena Base fridges.
Changes to the Earthquake Facility Skill
To better balance the Earthquakeโs power with its wide radius, weโve halved its damage stats.
Clan Descriptions Can Be Edited
Added a feature allowing the clan leader and administrators to edit the clan description and labels.
Single-Player Save Safety
When saving a file in single-player mode, the existing file will be now backed up as an extra layer of protection for playersโ progress.
Catalyst Vault Changes
When attempting to use the entrance console for the Catalyst Vault, a notification may pop up alerting the user that they are not currently able to enter. Also, we have removed the expiration time for the Robotic Laser Lens quest item. You may leave and return at a different time if the portal is not currently active.
Fewer pistol drops
Pistols found inside of moldy crates will now spawn less frequently.
Reduced CS-01
The drop rate of the Compensator CS-01 from Hyena riflemen and shield soldiers has been changed from 15% to 5%.
Picking Up Your Pick-up Truck
We changed the materials youโll receive when โgatheringโ your broken down Stryder or Stryder EX. Stryder: 2x Lithium, 2x Cylinder, 16x Metal Stryder EX: 2x Fine Lithium, 2x Superior Cylinder, 2x Superior Metal
