Here is the changelog for May 2023: [h3][b]I[/b]:\Interface[/h3] [list] [*] The Bestiary is now available - review intel on enemy alien forces by clicking the monster icon next to the Hangar tab [*] The construction table in the Engineering tab now lights up to better indicate where to drag and drop a mech, weapon, or reactor [*] Toggle the tutorial on or off inside the game in the Escape menu [*] Additional information in the tutorial popup will inform you about weapon customization when installing a mech into the construction table for the first time [*] One of the battle screen filters now reduces the sensitivity of lighting in battle, which stops the screen from being washed out when firing strong energy weapons [/list] [h3][b]S[/b]:\Sound[/h3] [list] [*] Added sounds for the railgun, teslagun, plasmagun and corrosive gun [/list] [h3][b]B[/b]:\Balance[/h3] [list] [*]///[b]Buffs[/b] [*] Increased enemy turret rate of fire by 80% [*] Increased enemy turret ammo capacity by 100% [*] Increased Ovum's health from 1000 to 3000 [*] Increased Ovum spawner (from labyrinths) armor from 7 to 22 [*] Increased Titanus Araneus damage from 10 to 24 [*] Increased railgun armor penetration from 3 to 4 [*] Increased railgun rate of fire from 150 to 200 [*] Increased resource cost of deploying Kinetic weapons in combat (Bjorn from 6 to 8, Skalaknit from 3 to 4) [*] Increased Kinetic shell duration by 1% for every 5 damage [*] Increased resource cost of deploying Explosive weapons in combat (Bjorn from 11 to 15, Skalaknit from 6 to 8) [*] Increased resource cost of deploying Thermal weapons in combat (Bjorn from 12 to 20) [*] Increased penalty for sending mechs into battle from District 62 from 20 to 25 for every level the district remains unupgraded (zero penalty at max level) [*] Increased the maximum number of city repair brigades from 3 to 5 [*]///[b]Nerfs[/b] [*] Lowered Titanus Araneus claw damage to systems from 15 to 10 per attack (its armor penetration is still infinite) [*] Area of effect for Titanus Araneus claw attack has moved slightly - you should no longer take damage when behind its back [*] Reduced Colubra's starting damage to shields [*] Reduced Colubra's additional damage over time to shields [*] Reduced Ovum's armor from 22 to 0 [*] Reduced Gammarus damage from 24 to 15 [*] Flos now have 0 armor when attacking [*] Reduced enemy turret armor penetration from 8 to 6 [*] Halved the reload speed of enemy artillery [*] Increased the minimum distance for the enemy's artillery to shoot [*] Reduced increased duration for the reactive projectile mod from 3 to 2 [*] Kinetic projectiles will slowly lose speed and duration for each second spent inside enemies [*] Reduced the total amount of all Explosive ammo by ~15 % [*] Reduced system damage from the sunbeam weather effect from 2 to 1 [*] Reduced number of damaged districts from a giant's attack from 10 to 5 [/list] [h3][b]E[/b]:\Engineering[/h3] [list] [*] The [b]Particle Emitter[/b] has been added to the arsenal. It launches a self-guided projectile that creates bolts of lightning along its trajectory that deal massive damage. Its damage also depends on supplied energy. Uses the Explosive ammo type. [*] Energy weapons have been reworked - now all weapons that depend on supplied energy heat up the reactor with shots [*] Processor programs saved to a mech punch card will no longer be forgotten [*] Adjust the available ammo ratio for a mech by clicking the shield icon when a mech is on your construction table [*] Damaged text on mechs will now no longer overlap with the program numbers [*] The power circuits switch is now more visible in a mech's electricity menu [/list] [h3][b]H[/b]:\Hangar[/h3] [list] [*] Open the whole research tree by fully upgrading District 17 in the city menu [*] Tutorial now highlights the pilot menu for a better navigation [*] Starting a fresh save file will now only spawn two giants: one red and one gold. The world will also have a random spread of infested terrain cells. [*] If you start on a city cell you will auto pickup a clue, instead of losing one as before. [*] Colored squares have been added next to the city stats to better indicate the colors of the graphs [/list] [h3][b]C[/b]:\Combat[/h3] [list] [*] The [b]experimental orbital Earth defense gun map[/b] has been added. It contains one new boss: [b]Glyptodont[/b] which bears miniguns. The map also has one huge defense turret that can be captured, and a new weapon, the [b]Particle Emitter[/b], which is rewarded for killing the boss. [*] The rocket barrage processor program now fires projectiles at the maximum rate of fire, instead of a one-time shot, for optimization reasons [*] Explosion animation and damage over time now depend on the source of the damage [*] Duration of fire zones now depends on the source of the damage [*] Size of fire zones now depends on the source of the damage [*] Explosions can now knockback Operarius [*] Napalm projectiles now slow down faster the closer they are to disappearing [*] Check how much a mech's systems have been damaged by mousing over the mech on the battle screen [*] A mech's damaged systems icons now appear on top of each mech card during battle [*] Allied turrets can now be damaged in the same way as mechs as by enemies [*] Find and activate allied turrets on city maps [*] Picking up a resource during battle will highlight the resource panel to show that it's been added [*] Doubled cabin heat from reactor overheating - pilots will now be more likely to be damaged by reactor overheating if cabin safety stat is low [*] Colubra act differently on infested maps - every few seconds they will launch a huge energy ball across the map at visible mechs. Colubra's energy dome also will not disappear until it has dropped to 25% of its total health, instead of disappearing at 75% on other maps.
