[h1]Greetings, Martians! ๐[/h1]
Itโs been a few weeks since we launched update v0.160.2 to the [i]public_testing[/i] branch on Steam. We wanted to collect your feedback and opinions before spreading it to a wider audience, but there it is!๐
[h3]Nuclear Update | Changelog v0.154.4 -> v0.160.2[/h3]
[b]For a full list of v0.160.2 fixes read the previous devlog #87:[/b]

[b]๐[/b] As we mentioned in one of the latest devlogs, v0.160.2 is the last patch for the [b]Nuclear Update[/b] โข๏ธ and the next one will be the (quite revolutionary) [b]Anniversary Update[/b] ๐ Our devs are doing their best to deliver it as soon as possible, so leave them a dose of encouragement in the comments below! ๐
[b]The Anniversary Update[/b] will bring a lot of changes in the core gameplay aspects, survival mechanics, building and repairing aspects, player animations and much more. For this reason please remember that there will be no save compatibility after v0.160.2, but we will (as always) first put the Anniversary Update on the public_testing branch to let you test it and have a choice before it goes live for everyone.๐
[b]โ ๏ธ [u]Keep in mind that there are some known bugs in the version v0.160.2[/u] โ ๏ธ[/b]
Although they are not very serious, we wanted to let you know about two of the issues that were reported by the players and possible ways to go around them โก๏ธ
[b][u]Bug #1[/u][/b]:
Rover's crane with a grabber sometimes doesn't react to player's commands to be opened or closed.
[b]Temporary workaround[/b]: Change crane's tip to drill and change back to grabber.
[b][u]Bug #2[/u][/b]:
Rover inventory containerโs UI is not showing the last three rows and itโs impossible to scroll down to see them using a mouse.
[b]Temporary workaround[/b]: itโs possible to access those items from the invisible part of the inventory with arrows of your keyboard. Navigate to the bottom with the arrow down, press ENTER on the chosen slot and navigate back up with arrows to move the item from there. Press ENTER once again to place the item in the desired slot.

We're already working on fixes as part of the Upcoming Update so those shouldn't occur in the future!๐ค
[b]Branch changes[/b]
We have also reorganized Steam Beta Branches. With more updates it was becoming more and more difficult to track which version is on which "previous" branch. So now every important version is labeled as a separate Steam Beta Branch so you can always go back to the one you want ๐
