Hello all you lovely AIs out there!
This week we got another small update, in which we added some new items for the Railgun T1 weapon, community suggestions, QoL stuff, further recipe changes and fixed some bugs you reported.
We also tried to add more information to the modification system, that will hopefully make it even more clear what kind of magic is happening there!
Please also note, that with this update, again some recipes have changed and you may need to alter some of your production lines! You can find more information under the "Balancing" section.
Thank you again for all your feedback and input!
Features
- Added a black border to the Tower Range to increase visibility (community suggestion).
- Belt Animations now runs faster, if you upgrade your Belt speed.
- Tooltips in the modification item selection now show the level this would add to your recipe if it is more than 1:
- The resulting Level of the item created by a modified recipe is now also shown under it's title:
Balancing
We've rebalanced some starting recipes and especially reduced some max ammo levels, as they were way to strong, in that you could easily create a +50phys dmg AP Ammo for example.
Also we changed the abilities of the Artillery Tower, so they now scale with the Towers AoE Splash Range, which should make it even more of an AoE Monster.
Towers
Artillery Tower:
- The size of the Plasma Puddle is now 80% of the Towers AoE Splash Range. Before it was fixed to 8m.
- The size of the Cluster Munition AoE Splash is now 55% of the Towers AoE Splash Range. Before it was fixed to 8m.
Items
We've added some new Tower Parts for the Railgun T1:
- Added Conducting Rail T1
- Added Plate Capacitor T1
They both unlock after beating level 2 (You may have to beat it again on an existing save)
