Hello everyone!

The next power rework patch (v0.1.4) has been tested on experimental and all changes have been confirmed to go live. This update is largely comprised of many small changes, in addition to back-end improvements or reworks in preparation for Multiplayer. (v0.1.5)

NOTE: While many of the new features in v0.1.4 have been tested, some may require further testing. Expect a follow-up patch early next week to address any remaining bugs or balancing issues.

Questions? Comments? Concerns?
Let me know below or on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/vectorio





Below is a compiled list of all changes throughout the experimental phase on the changes that have made it in for v0.1.4 live. Next weeks patch will tie up some of the changes mentioned here, as they require a larger testing audience to obtain good data and feedback on them.

• Complete refactor of the power and heat system. Power only affects defenses, while heat only affects logistics. This will heavily affect how the game is played, so I am looking for feedback on it!
  
• New generator mechanics. Now requires either resources or a resource node to produce power.
  
• Removed collection mode and collector drones from the game, in place of having cargo drones unlocked from the get-go, and improving the overall control-flow of the game. This change is not final, and I'll be looking at feedback from it very closely.
  
• New UI designs for many of the interface elements that were out-of-date due to the power rework. Should improve overall clarity and readability on many of the interface panels.
  
• The ability to repair entities with one button press, in exchange for resources.
  
• Two new music tracks for the in-game OST, Gridspace & Horizons.
  
• New menu music track for the menu, with a new menu scene for power rework.
  
• Complete new heat tree, including new heat levels 11 - 15 that add more challenge with new units later in the game. (NOTE: Some of these units are currently not finished)
  
• New tutorial screen, and the ability to replay tutorials through the pause menu
  
• New material for drone route previewing to enhance clarity at a longer distance
  
• New construction sound effect that plays when a building is placed
  
• A variety of other smaller changes to certain notification windows, to again help with the actual information being presented to you due to things happening in-game.

• Multiple hotbars, and the ability to quick scroll through them using left-control.
  
• New entity tooltip panel that shows info without needing to click on the entity.
  
• Quick-edit keybind that enables the ability to edit certain entities in one click.
  
• Defenses and reclaimers will now auto-reconstruct themselves if they get blown up.
  
• Holding shift to move faster will also increase the speed of camera scrolling.
  
• A variety of smaller QOL improvements to the overall control-flow of the game.

• Majorly buffed all turret stats, in turn for not being able to build as many now.
  
• Improved the default drone speed and storage, to help with early-game automation.
  
• Increased the cost of many of the earlier research techs, as well as the actual cost to build them after unlocking them. These changes were made in correlation to the power rework.
  
• Lowered the health pool of larger units signficantly (dropships & spectors)
  
• Lowered the power cost of many defensive structures
  
• Various tweaks to resource costs for certain buildings that were too expensive
  
• Lowered cargo drone cost from 50 gold to 20 gold
  
• Increased cargo drone speed from 35m/s to 45m/s
  
• A variety of smaller balance changes to improve the overall flow of the game.
  
• Final heat values are still being tested and balanced, but will be in next weeks build

• Fixed an issue with power generators disappearing after reloading a save
  
• Fixed cargo drones deploying to previous routes after the route was changed.
  
• Fixed cargo drones being able to deliver to buildings of different factions
  
• Fixed region boosters causing negative values on certain multipliers
  
• Fixed Quantum Decryptors causing all sorts of strange artifacts when activating
  
• Fixed burners miscalculating power values when being deleted
  
• Fixed an issue with the new research complete event that was causing labs to disappear when finishing a research tech due to an unassigned variable in the interface component.
  
• Fixed entity tooltip not disappearing when hovering over blueprints
  
• Fixed old tutorial showing up when disabled
  
• Fixed labs causing a "Bug Reported" error when certain resources were put in them.
  
• Fixed cargo drones sometimes going to the wrong target after being object pooled.
  
• Many smaller bugs have been fixed from the core system improvements listed below.

• Refactored the screen activity detection for entities, which now calculates screen space orientation during setup. This will fix instances where on-screen entities would simulate as off-screen entities.
  
• Completely changed the way gamemodes are handled. Everything now runs through a central scene which is constructed based on the provided modes data, instead of having separate scenes for each mode. This may cause short-term issues with creative while the kinks are worked out, but will enable extensive support for custom gamemodes in the future.
  
• New backend stat system for handling entity stats that will open the door for levels and upgrades in the future, as well as improve the reliability and accessibility of stats in the game now.
  
• Multiple refactors to many of the manager scripts, that should help to improve their overall reliability and help support the new content coming in v0.2.0, which will have new unique mechanics to it.

The patch 1.0.9 introduce goods feature in Square City Builder!

• Add goods feature to gameplay;
  
• Change gameplay of farms and fisherman industry;
  
• Adds amount goods value to profit each year;

Before we get to this update's changelog, we have a very special music feature offering for you, from the one and only iNi, the composer of INCISION's OST. Enjoy the full playlist of the Episode 2 music, right here and on YouTube:



And now, on to the...

• Episode E2M1 has been split into 2 seperate levels: Harvest Vivarium and Parasitic Relations.
  
• Parasitic Relations has been updated with new area.
  
• New level E2M3 has been added "Death-Filth Medicine"
  
• New enemies appeared - Sympaths, Flocks and The Favoured.
  
• Alt-Fire for Jawbreaker added.
  
• Level Select screens now have corresponding backgrounds.
  
• New Enemies now can spawn in Randomizer.
  
• E1M4 level secrets updated and fixed.
  
• Min. projectile speed set to 100%.
  
• Tweaks for Feral Armament bossfight.
  
• Multiple cosmetic fixes and additions like growth parts of level bleeding on hit.

• E2M3 music has a *very rare* chance of not playing in properly. If the music does not start playing immediately in the very first room, restart the level. Otherwise music will play out of order and may sound very odd.
  
• Health count does not update during slow motion after losing a life.
  
• "Use" hand very rarely remains on screen. Workaround is to look at an usable button again.
  
• In E1M4 "Filth Pit" music may rarely stop permanently.

ENJOY!

Finger Trees, the fifth project of BRYGUYSTUDIOS will be releasing this month, very soon.

More experiences are planned in the future. This game has come a long way.

Servers for Midair 2 Playtest are live until early morning Tuesday NA, December 19th (~6 am EST)

We are extending Playtest this weekend to include Monday! We found a bunch of users were, for one reason or another, missing out on weekend availability. In light of this, we felt it was best to extend :)

Not quite enough for a patch notes this week, but here's the changes we've got for this weekend:

• Outpost biome change, relight, post and fog.
  
• Exhumed, Minora and Ingo very mild Post updates with LUT and chromatic aberration.

Let us know what you think. This is part of a bigger process of giving our most-played maps a bit of a refresh, as can be seen in recent changes to: CTF-Brynhildr, CTF-Elite, CTF-TwilightGrove, TDM-Blitz, TDM-Nightward, and TDM-SunsetYolandi.

We also recently posted a blog update about our development status and plans for the near future. Check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/midair-playtest-94382914

To the slopes and to the skies!

Have a great weekend,

The game client has mod support.

Mods can completely overhaul the look, animation, or sounds of any object in the game.

To install a mod, simply drop an .oxz file into your mods folder. Multiple mods can be installed together by putting multiple files in there (but if they overlap in terms of which objects they change, one of the mods will override the other according to some kind of mysterious filesystem ordering).

When you launch the game client again, your mods will be loaded. Note that they don't change the game content permanently. Simply remove a mod file from the mods folder and re-launch the game client---the game will go back to normal.

Mods can be made using the Editor, which is now included on Steam. No programming required.

To make a mod, in the Editor, use the Objects tab to edit various objects. Be sure to use the "Replace" button when saving them inside the Editor. You can also use the Anim tab to edit animations. I'm pretty sure that live sound recording isn't working in Windows, but you can experiment with it.

If you want to add new sprites, you can import them using the Sprites tab. Note that you will need to change settings/editorImportPath.ini to the location of the sprite sheet that you want to import. Sprites should be on white backgrounds with black outlines (though you can get fuzzy edges by also importing a separate Line Import layer). I draw the sprites in the game on paper and scan them in, and my scanner puts the scanned page in default.png in my home directory, so that's why the import path is set the way that it is by default.

After you get your objects looking the way that you want them to look (remembering to Replace existing objects, not add new ones---your edited objects should appear mixed into the list on the Object Picker, not at the top of the list), you're ready to export them as a bundle. Use the Export tab to pick a set of objects. Give it a name Tag, then press the Export button to save the bundle. Look in your exports folder for your exported bundles.

Note that any mods in your mods folder will be loaded into the editor for further editing and exporting. You actually need to load each modded object in the Editor and press Replace at least once before trying to export them. Whatever is actually saved on disk is what's exported (the live RAM-only data is only temporary, and not saved on disk by default).

However, whatever changes you actually make while creating mods are permanent in your game data folder. It's usually a good idea to make a working copy of the game data when modding. Just copy your OneLife folder somewhere else, and run EditOneLife from inside that copied folder.
