v0.2.0b Experimental Info:

Testing Cycle: ~2 weeks
Experimental Saves: Enabled
Backwards Compatible: Up to 0.2.0
Update Type: Experimental Patch
Contains Spoilers: Yes

Patch Notes

The following is a list of changes pushed to the experimental branch. While changes are usually tested beforehand, please note that some may require further testing to validate.

v0.2.0 Enabled Content:

The follow content has been enabled for testing...

New defensive building, Striker, which consumes ammunition to fire seeking missiles. Is available only to the player and can out-range Artillery to help with larger bases.
New logistics building, Ammo Forge, used to craft ammunition for other buildings. Will be used heavily in stronger defenses that require some sort of logistical problem to solve in order to use.

General Improvements:

Added a new resource X-Ray utility, that lets you see the resources inside of each building across your entire base, all at once. Should help with understanding where resources are going.
Added internal storage containers & recipe info to the building UI. Currently there's no interactivity options for specifying things like filters, but these are in the works.
Improved drone reliability by adding more conditional checks before they deploy. This is still being worked on, but there should be a noticeable improvement.

Bug Fixes:

Re-Added the liquidator back into the research tech tree, as it was missing after the large database changes done over the course of v0.2.0's development.
Fixed drones from doing bad deployments, where they visit targets not in their range.
Fixed recipe & tech trees from asking for resources before you actually have unlocked them.
Fixed missing recipe icons on the new unlock panel, if they were unlocked following a building.
Fixed labs endlessly taking resources that have already been completed in a research tech.

Core Tech:

Disconnected the new resource utilities from the resource building entity class. They've now been moved to their own composition module which any entity-type can access.

Note: Due to this change, some resources may be lost when loading into your save for the first time on this build; though it is recommended to start a new save with this build anyways.

Balance Changes

Starting from this patch forward, I will be listing the balancing changes made in greater detail. This will help with understanding why portions of your base may change from update to update, and hopefully get more people engaged with balancing discussions as we move forward. Note: Balancing changes aren't final - it is a continuous cycle of iteration. If you don't agree with certain changes, please don't hesitate to let me know! Shotgunner

For now I want to leave the resource changes here and see how they feel, before proceeding with the remainder of the tree. This means future techs may have strange costs to them compared to these.

Vectorio is a base-building game that combines tower-defense, automation, and supply-chain management to create a unique experience like no other.

Originally concepted over two years ago, Vectorio Classic was slowly built up alongside its dedicated community to try and introduce a new take on the tower-defense genre, mixing together the best aspects from similar games and streamlining them into a minimalistic design for all to enjoy. With the game now rebuilt from scratch to introduce tons of new mechanics and content, there's a lot more to uncover in this new version of Vectorio!

Adventure Mode
The main mode - expand and conquer across the first dimension!
Creative Mode
Create the base of your dreams and try out different buildings with no build costs!
50+ Research Techs
Collect resources and feed your labs to research over 50 different research techs!
Powerful Defenses
