• Fixed desync caused by Shellwalkers in multiplayer.
• Fixed crash caused by trying to do a spy action when the spy has been caught.
• Cultist nest buildings now have cultist crew.
• If you're a cultist empire, you get special messages for cultist nests. (They're "heretics" from your point of view.)
• Suspendium Ray damage increased but made less effective against armour.

Modding:

• You can now specify alternate text for monster nests based on a bonus that an empire has.
• You can now specify a pixel amount for shells to shift when they open. (See data/ModuleType/SHELLWALKER.json.)
• Monster nest rewards can now provide technologies.

Note that this update is not notarized for macOS because Apple's notarization servers are not responding. I will fix this when possible.

Design steampunk pixel airships out of functional modules and conquer the skies!

In the game, ships are viewed side-on, and their modules are operated by individual crew members. During combat, players give high-level commands to a small fleet, positioning their ships, ramming and boarding others. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall. Players can also compete against one another in Internet and LAN matches.

The ships are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around at their individual tasks, like an ant farm or a cut-away drawing. The player's choices in ship layout are crucial, and an important part of the game is exploring the design space of different airships and their matching tactics.
