Steamworks achievements stuff

Patch to Scrap Warden (Version 1.03):
Added "Sound Options" to the game's main menu. Users can now adjust the volume for music and sound effects (technical: settings saved to and loaded from player preferences). Thanks for all the support and feedback!

We caught some bugs while playtesting in stream:

• Found a bug when a solicitor attempts to apply specific debuffs to enemies - We found a temp way to fix this with further code efficiency in the future

Ok that was the only bug but we have some improvements as well!

• The dodge chance from a Poltergeist contract (Solicitor class) couldn't stack. We've modified how this contract works to make it a stackable contract.
  
• It felt bad as a player to get a contract that gives you a debuff on hit, then later get that same contract again since there was not tangible benefit to having that kind of contract multiple times. We've adjusted the way contracts are generated so that if you have a contract that gives you a debuff on hit, that contract cannot be generated again unless you lose it due to a void clause canceling the contract.

We will have more improvements to this as we explore and playtest with all of you!

Hey everyone here is the first patch with a good chunk of performance improvements in it, I have not gotten to every bug reported yet but this patch does also contain several major bug fixes. The next patch will be out in a few days and will continue with performance improvements, bug fixes and a big improvement will be finally fixing the weather effects going through buildings (I have come up with a good solution for this internally and will begin properly implementing it very soon!).

Greetings, Spacemen!

We have pushed an update that is relevant to those hosting dedicated servers.

Going forward, Unfortunate Spacemen servers will require Steam Game Server Login Tokens (GSLT) for hosting dedicated servers.

As of the latest game update, dedicated servers not using GSLT will not be visible in the server browser.


You will need to set up a GSLT token for your server. It's quite easy to do.

You can register GSLT tokens here:
https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers
(You must log into your Steam account before doing so)

After you have your GSLT token, all you have to do is to add the following to your server start up procedure or launch shortcut:
-SetSteamAccount=<your token here>

All servers require a unique GSLT meaning you will need a token for each server if you run multiple. Do not share your tokens with anyone!


To host a dedicated server, you can follow the original guide which has been updated to reflect this change.


Nope! The only change might be that some dedicated servers may no longer appear in the server browser, meaning the dedicated server owner has not set up a token yet.

The latest update also decreases the game's size on disk by about 2 GB.

See you in space!
