This will change the dynamics on your racks quite a bit. As usual, [b]thank you[/b] to everybody who is playing Rogue Voltage in Early Access. Special thanks to the lovely [url=https://discord.com/invite/bGpnfJFUPj][b]Discord Community[/b][/url] which constantly gives great feedback, posts fresh ideas, helps brainstorming for new content and reports bugs. Everybody is [url=https://discord.com/invite/bGpnfJFUPj][b]invited to join[/b][/url]. Come nerd out with us! Rogue Voltage is still [b]15% off during Steam Summer Sale[/b]. Tell your friends! [h2][b]CHARACTER REWORKS:[/b][/h2] [list] [*] [b]Plasma Mech[/b] was in a weird spot between under- and overpowered (depending who you asked). I removed the Austerity Cells from its starting loadout (they still drop as loot) and replaced them with the all-new [b]Plasma Combustion Sensor[/b]. This should finally encourage you to burn that plasma!

I personally like her a lot for her combo-kills. She now has an all-new [b]Accelerating Screen[/b]. Less time between all combatant's turns means more overlap to slice the enemies!

I do too, so I'm bringing you even more ways to upgrade. These 3 new modules put a +1 Upgrade onto a generator, but also apply them with a debuff. [list] [*] [b]Generator Upgrader: Storm[/b] is a nice Nomad enabler. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/1d5e83bee96b0bcbf8d91fc0430ffcaa257ece12.png[/img] [*] [b]Generator Upgrader: Grav. Recoil[/b] is great for self-deceleration strategies (here's lookin' at you, Jess) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/eea7ec268266968144164c1f41a0786b9a034d6b.png[/img] [*] [b]Generator Upgrader: Hazardous[/b] is tricky. Don't get too greedy!

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/ada46c2c71bfd8ab318408a1c6a03c93a316c2a4.png[/img] [*] [New] [b]Refinery [/b] sells you all the gear to upgrade your modules. Upgraders are removed from the rare shop. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42646977/cb127e1b51d99077160ba8682aa32b431e56987d.png[/img] [/list] [h2][b]MODULE CHANGES:[/b][/h2] [list] [*] [Nerf] [b]Amplifier Factory[/b] now produces Amplifiers on Cooldown, similar to the nerf of the [b]Storage Cell Factory[/b] [*] [Buff] [b]Vulnerability Grenade[/b] (available from camp shop) now only targets enemies. Go buy them, they are strong! [*] Durability Enhancer is back in uncommon (from rare) [*] Cooldown Redirector and Shock Absorber are now in common (from uncommon) [*] Removed Stormseeker Generator (replaced with Generator Upgrader: Storm) [*] Removed Hazardous Generator (replaced with Generator Upgrader: Hazardous) [/list] [h2][b]UI:[/b][/h2] [list] [*] Durability and Capacity Enhancer are now blue (from green) to differentiate to the other upgrader modules [*] "Select next module to fire" ("Firing Conflict") UI is now blue (from green) to differentiate from module targeting prompt [/list] [h2][b]BUGFIXES:[/b][/h2] [list] [*] Fixed controller support. This is an ongoing process, please let me know if there are quirks left. [*] Fixed a bug where toggled modules were not targetable when clicking on the toggle [*] Fixed a visual bug with more than 1 lock icons on a module [*] Fixed a bug where sensors would trigger while in the trash bin [*] Fixed a bug with Overload Generator not locking [*] Fixed a bug with selling modules that you bought on discount [/list] [h3]KNOWN BUGS (that I still couldn't fix this update):[/h3] [list] [*] Sometimes the collider of a collector module gets deactivated so you can't click it to wire. Move the module to make it work again. [*] Saving in camp rerolls jack colors in shop. [*] Sometimes a module's tooltip doesn't disappear normally [*] Storage inductor sometimes put energy only after the regeneration cell already fired [*] The game crashes when exiting after a longer playsession [*] Steam Achievements are still a bit messy [/list] Enjoy wiring up the new version, let me know what you think in the comments, over in the Steam Community Forums or the game's [url=https://discord.com/invite/bGpnfJFUPj][b]Discord[/b][/url]. [h2][b]If you're having fun with Rogue Voltage, please leave a Steam review, this helps us a lot!![/b][/h2] Thank you for playing! Much love from summery Berlin, Luca
