Released Build 4

Hello Everyone,

Blog

Another week, another build. Hopefully I'll be able to keep pace with this going forward.

The game is in a pretty stable state now, so I can focus more on adding content. I had wanted to get the building adjacency system done this week, but it turned out more complicated that I had originally planned. I've pushed that back a week so that I can make the Codex system at the same time. This way it'll be Way less confusing for how to adjacency works.

Now, on to the main show:

New Features

• Added Mountain tiles, these have an increasing chance to spawn as new tiles are revealed
• Added Canyon tiles, these have an increasing chance to spawn as new tiles are revealed
• Added a Difficulty setting menu
• Added Three new techs for survey hubs
• Added Two new techs for dealing with Mountains and Canyons

 Changes

• Quanta(offline resource) now gets added for every second spent in orbit
• Building fibs no longer count against cost creep, making fibbed buildings fully free

Bug Fixes

• Fixed turning off expansion on buildings locking out the expansion button on load
• Fixed instances where survey hubs could create duplicate tiles on map loading
• Optimized some backend systems for ease of development
• A variety of other tweaks and issues that are too small or too interconnected to mention here
