With the flurry of support and fraud combat tasks abating, I took a little while to watch Zeebos’ stream. A discussion was had and it quickly became apparent that a lot of the events in the game weren’t really firing – ever. No heat waves, no crazy animals, no crashed ship parts.

Doing some local testing, I realized how bad it was. Most of the events in the game would never fire.

Holy crap!

I’ve fixed the issue and uploaded a patch. Your save games will be compatible. This will change balance somewhat - I'll be watching to see if it needs adjusting.

Look at it this way – it’s like releasing a juicy content patch three days after release!
