Developer Note: Apologies for the delay on this patch. Last week I was sick, and in a few days I'll be moving locations and getting a new studio setup.

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.

CONTROL SCHEME:

Added the ability to pan the camera using screen edge
Scroll will always be calculated as long as pointer isn't over UI element
Clicking on an empty spot in the screen will close the currently open UI panel
Camera drag is now calculated in late update, to avoid accidental entity-clicking
Added a new keybind for deselecting the current mode
Options to adjust movement and zoom speed added to the settings
Options to toggle edge panning and camera dragging added to the settings
Movement now calculated in non-fixed update loop (will feel smoother)
Some other minor tweaks to the default scheme to make it feel more intuitive

BALANCE CHANGES:

Increased Sweeper damage from 2 to 2.5
Reduced Sweeper power from 10 to 6
Reduced Generator heat from 35 to 15
Reduced Pulsar power from 18 to 10
Reduced Foundry heat from 12 to 8
Reduced Manufacturer heat from 35 to 25
Reduced Ammo Forge power from 25 to 15
Reduced Bomber health from 15 to 12
Reduced Fighter health from 12 to 10
Reduced Reinforced Saw health from 15 to 8

OTHER CHANGES:

Added a max spawn value to hives, to prevent huge swarms
Added headers to the settings menu, to help with organization
Changed modifiers to show 1 digit instead of a whole number
Temporarily disabled cloak checks on defenses, until Phantom Plains V2

BUG FIXES:

Fixed builder drones causing session errors in multiplayer environments
Fixed filters not resetting after a drone gets object pooled
Fixed some of the modifiers not applying correctly after an entity is object pooled
Fixed all enemy modifiers not applying correctly to enemy units and buildings
Fixed hub not spawning on a new region if the region switch process fails
Some other minor bug fixes

TENTATIVE:

These are additions to the update that have not yet been enabled in experimental, as they aren't quite ready for testing. This is usually due to lingering issues in internal tests or the feature being incomplete.

New "Resource Data" tree, which can improve burn time & collection rate for resources. This will eventually contain infinite techs which slowly improve resource values the more you research them.
New building "Resource Analyzer", which provides double lab value for the Resource Data tree.
New decoration tile "Concrete", added to the Decorations research tree.
