An initial research screen is now available, accessed via the main game controls at the bottom right of the screen. Currently research items are unlocked via purchasing your chosen schematics with credits. Just the two unlocks at the moment, showing the two types of unlock. Firstly the build menu restriction. At the moment that's just the Fuel Cell, that you'll have to unlock, before you'll be able to select it to build. Secondly is the upgrade type of unlock. Currently this is the droid battery upgrade. Once researched, clicking on a droid will give you access to an upgrade panel where you can select to upgrade the chosen droid, if you have sufficient metal available. Oh and upgraded droids will become orange, so you can spot which of your droids are upgraded or not. Now this feature is here, i'll be adding quite a few more schematics over the coming weeks, so do leave comments in the Research discussion on what you'd like to see. As it's been a couple of weeks since last update, quite a few changes and fixes. Main fix being a crash when selecting an item that is in construction. Do report game crashes and bugs as i can only fix them once i'm made aware of them, thanks! Also some balancing to address some feedback. Non droid maintenance charging now a bit quicker. Droid power usage slightly less. Pirate damage slightly less. Droid repair/deconstruct/upgrade times longer (more in line with droid construction time). Patch notes:-
- Research screen added (droid battery and fuel cell unlocks)
- Upgrade panel added to droid info window.
- Balancing: Reduce pirate laser damage.
- Balancing: Reduce inside/outside droid power usage.
- Balancing: Reduce charge time when not charging via the droid maintenance.
- Improve: New game logo.
- Improve: Droid work light fx should be under droid.
- Improve: Airlock/Door placement, remove solar panel/connector close restriction.
- Fix: Crash clicking on in construction item (invalid info window priority lookup).
- Fix: Droid repair/deconstruct/upgrade times longer, correctly related to construction length
- Fix: Visitor not charging via power system.
