Hey Keepers,
thank you so much for your extensive feedback! We are working on many things and carefully listen and think about your feedback.
I'll keep it short, here are the patchnotes for v4.0.0.48:
Balance and Changes
- reworked sword long stab. You can now speed it up by pressing shift. Additionally it will never retract once its damage potential is used up. Instead you can keep flying and stab dozens of monsters, including the same monster multiple times.
- javelin is now back in the tech tree. Stab bomb remains as supplement and now works also with Javelin.
- adjusted upgrade costs of all primary gadgets to be the same compared to each other
- battle ability upgrades now each cost one cobalt instead of water
- reworked droneyard drone count upgrade. Instead of buying individual drones, you now buy them in increasingly large packs.
- balance pass across all gadget upgrade costs
- reordered suit blaster upgrades and decreased charge speed a bit
- minimap supplement doew not reveal the full map anymore, but only a bit more than you already see. Feedback very welcome, we are not done with it!
- updated localization
- changed showdown so that cycle based gadgets work well again
- slightly increased bundle duration of assessor for the first two upgrades
- slightly increased move speed while firing for laser dome
- improved sound for blast mine explosion

- added world ambience to 7, and a bloater ambience
- made supplement offer limited to 1 per slot when possible
- suitblaster now detonates at the point of activation not the delayed position
- disable cheat detection for open beta. Please remember we might need to wipe the leaderboard when the beta ends.
