Version 0.6.0 - New Level, 8X Speed and more

Release Notes for Version 0.6.0
Hello folks and AIs out there! Today we are happy to announce another update for Project Astra Dominium! Again we tried to strike a balance between putting in more content, fixing bugs, improving some UIs and implementing user feedback. The probably most notable changes are the new Level and the 8x Speed for the Tower Defense mode! So let's jump right into the patch notes to see what else is new:

Features:

Added 8x speed in Tower Defense
Added new Level Purtauri (Level 6)
Gold Ingots, Cables and Chip Recipes can now be unlocked
Clicking on required Resources in the Manual Crafting screen will now open the corresponding Recipe
Reworked some UIs
Added some missing Tooltips for the enemy info screen
Clarified some Texts e.g. that the cryo slow lasts for 10 seconds
New Camera option in the base Building Menu to switch into bird's-eye view
Golems have a new Run Animation
Special Skills inside each skilltree now have a small Star Icon to make them stand out more
Path marker before a wave starts can now have different colors. As a test this is implemented in Level 6 for now and may come to the others with the next update
Drone Pod Requesters now show drones in transit and can be configured:
- To only get items when there's a certain min. amount in the inventory
- To set a max amount of items inside the Drone Pod Requester building

Balancing:

Nerfed Cryo Tower as it was performing to good for many reasons
- Reduced amount of resistance reduction and the skill doesn't reduce cold resistance anymore
- Reduced damage and increased cooldown of the Cryo Discharge skill
Buffed Tesla Tower
- Increased base damage
- Increased chance of the InstaKill skill
Slightly increased Artillery Tower Damage
Slightly nerfed Gun Tower Ammo in Skilltree
Cosuna (Level 3): Slightly moved some Tower build slots, so that mobs don't run into the min range of towers (except artillery)
Reduced the cost of some drone upgrades in the Resource Hub

Fixes/Misc.:

Leaderboard updates in Base are less frequent
Traebis IV (Level 1) end pathing corrected
Drone Item Renderposition fixed, if Drones carry more than 1 Item
Belt Item Tooltip didn't hide when clicked on the Belt
Loading Texts were too small
Fixed multiple typos
Fixed statistics tracking of some skills like Tesla Chainlightning and the Artillery Cluster Munition Skill
Fixed Laser Quests not calculating correctly
Resistance Debuffs are now calculated correctly for negative Resistances
Golems now dissolve with the correct Material

We've also made a new Trailer to better show the current state of the game. If you like to you can check it out on YouTube: [previewyoutube=G_sfGQOmMJU;full][/previewyoutube] That's it for today, we hope you enjoy these changes. Let us know what you think of this update on our Discord or in the Steam discussions! And again thank you all so much for playing and the feedback that reached us over various channels! The update next week will contain missing equipment recipes for the Artillery and Tesla Tower aswell as more recipe modifications and other stuff. Stay tuned!

It's the year 2249, most resources on earth are nearly depleted and have lead to many conflicts in the past.
Despite those crises, humanity made huge progress in the fields of AI, which in turn allowed for enormous advances in space travel.
Scientists were even able to create a new kind of engine, which made it possible to travel faster than light. But on the downside humans were not able to survive this way of transportation.
In a last desperate attempt and in search for new resources, the EIRO (European Interstellar Resource Organization) built a brand new ship which was only controlled by an AI named "Athena".
Hoping that the AI can survive the jump and begin autonomous exploration and exploitation of resources, the ship is launched into an unknown future...
