We've added bot support to Foobar! Now you can enable auto bot fill in your room, which will fill the empty slots automatically, upon starting the game. It will still let in players, who can take a bot's place, and when people leave, bots get filled in. This is the first iteration of bot support so we would love to hear your feedback about this feature! Please do note that bots cannot use every weapon and every skills. They can handle sword only too, but their logic is not designed with that rule in mind, so they might get stuck at some point. For now they can only play DM, TDM and TD. Added a new category to room creation panel called "VS AI". Here you can play against bots in single player mode, even when roomcreation is disabled (when there is no running playtest).
Spectator support
We've finally added spectator support! Spectators do not take up player slots, can join even if the room is full. Every room has 4 spectator slot available, unless spectators are disabled in the room settings.
Character skin tone
We've added skin tones to the characters! You can now select a skin tone when creating a character. We would love to hear your feedback about these colors!

This hotfix contains the first batch of fixes for Milestone 5. It fixes two serious bugs - the first being that alien Mind Control effectively never fails, and the second being a crash linked to mind-controlled civilians.
Please let us know if you're experiencing bugs or major gameplay issues as we'll do our best to hotfix any problems as they arise! (We'll be releasing another hotfix with additional fixes onto the Experimental branch on Monday.)
Changes:
The ARES now moves as though it is equipped with a jetpack, and it no longer suffers fall damage.
Alien Mind Control should now not attack the same soldier more than once per turn.
Bugfixes:
Fixed a crash after ordering a mind-controlled civilian to evacuate.
Fixed a bug where a failed alien Mind Control attempt would cause a successful Mind Control attack on the same target immediately afterwards.
Fixed vehicles suffering instant death from fall damage if the roof they were standing on was destroyed.
Fixed hovering vehicles (ARES, Servitor, Cyberdrone) incorrectly suffering fall damage.
Fixed the MARS / ARES not properly playing their destruction animation if destroyed by fall damage.
The shot information panel (in the bottom right of the tactical UI) no longer incorrectly displays some lines in light grey rather than the normal dark grey, and the +10% Crouching hit chance bonus is now displayed in a consistent manner with the other multipliers.
A requested addition which makes a lot of sense was to set permissions for traders automatically. This has been added and can be found on the ships comms window. You'll see a little ship icon at the top right, clicking this brings up a window where you can set permissions for different factions and unaffiliated traders. Traders will now have these permissions automatically when they appear.
I've also expanded trading, so that you can buy and sell droids. I'm not sure why i hadn't added this before. Note you can only sell idle droids, so turn off their job roles if there are lots of jobs going on and you want to sell.
With the ability to buy/sell droids, i've now added this to faction contracts, so you can now have droids as the resource part of the deal. I've also added droids as part of the commerce scenario, so your task might be to sell x number of droids.
Patch notes:-
Default trader permissions window added.
Droids added to trading.
Droid selling added to commerce scenario.
Droid buy/sell added to contracts.
Fix: Missing translation for name in factions.
Fix: Droid construction - created droid appears in correct maintenance space.
Fix: First seed settings not updating customise difficulty menu.
Improved equipment upgrade instructions: 2 kind of equipment upgrade discription add. (1) Same equipment x 3,to upgrade equipment (2) equipment + gold coin exchange to (same rare)(same level) equipment
Bug fix about some countries window will trigger Decimal calculate error, such as 0.75 got error output 75. Such as you use window(USA) version, 0.75 is 0.75 in calculate, but when you use window(Germany) version, 0.75 will calculate as 75. Thanks for player reporting.
