Hello, Exofarmers!
We've been working hard to roll this patch before the Easter Holidays so y'all can enjoy an improved mech farming experience over the long weekend ahead! Hold on to your visor, folks, we squashed a lot of bugs in this one!
Changes
- Using the "Help I'm stuck" option inside the Vault will now take you out of the Vault, and reset the Vault progress
- Added a failsafe to grant player the Vault reward if they somehow managed to finish the Vault and get out without picking it up
- Tweaked Hydro Splash size to work more as intended
- Increased maximum field of view to 150
- Decreased minimum field of view to 60
- Removed “Clam Filtering” request from Ulf
- Minor update to photo mode HUD layout to accommodate for longer and bigger prompt texts
Bug fixes
- Significantly reduced the size of save files to fix issue where the game could fail to save after long sessions
- PIP-3R Ambient Dialogue setting will now be saved between sessions
- Fixed issue where pickups would often fly away far behind you if you tried to use the Vacuum Harvester while moving
- Fixed rare crash when gathering items with the Vacuum Harvester
