This hotfix addresses a couple of bugs with events not finishing properly under certain circumstances (i.e. they are followed by another event) which results in escaping the black hole not awarding the Close Call achievement and a voice line not playing for the VUGSHERYOG event. If you have already beaten the game and did not unlock Close Call and want to, the easiest method is likely to just start a new game in another save slot and play til you get the black hole event. The other option is to keep playing your save til you get it, but events repeat very rarely so it could take a lot longer.

This hotfix patch 1.2.002 is only 3 fixes for some Steam Deck issues a user had on the forums. Mac was not updated since you cannot use it for Steam Deck so it will stay at 1.2.001 until the next update. Linux was all that needed updating but I updated windows just in case someone tried to play with proton. This fixes the issue where play button is not highlighted for controller when loading up to the main menu on Steam Deck. It also fixes a bug where choose local vs cloud on the main menu popup (if your saves conflict) will now select play properly on Steam Deck once the popup is dismissed. Finally it also has a fix for highlighting play when coming back to the main menu from a run on Steam Deck.

This hot fix addresses a bug where the Generate Pulse drone task is not available after unlocking it.

• Resources wheel now shows all resources with unobtainable ones greyed out to match the other two radial menus and fix an issue on controller.
• Additional bug fixes

Happy New Year! We are fixing some final issues and doing testing on the new features and will release the update soon. I am posting today to give you a sneak peak at the update in case anyone wants to purchase the game on the steam event sale that ends soon and this helps them decide. As requested by players we have implemented a way to do some automation when it comes to drones but also some new upgrades that can be made. Advanced Mining will now keep going from debris to debris mining for the resource without your interaction until it runs out of power, storage, or resource to mine. Advanced Salvage is also a new task added that will upgrade Advanced Mining to also search derelict ships and containers to salvage any resources there as well. We have also added automation options for all of the normal stats upgrades to the ship like preparing food, generating water, repairing weapons, etc. Upgrades added to the game include upgrading power, storage, and movement speed of drones via Drone Crafting tab and we have our first ever Ship Upgrade coding task that lets you use Quan 1054 to boost the damage of the turrets on the ship. Here are some screenshot teasers of the new features in the UI.

Adds the ability to toggle steam cloud in settings under game tab when in main menu. 3. Adds a backup of local save when there is a conflict and you override local with cloud data.
