- Update notes for September 15th, 2024 - 15 September 2024
First update here we go!! ːsteamhappyː Game jumps from v1.20 to v1.24 today. Bug squashing Issue: With damaged (1 to 3) systems, repairing on habitable planets, hovering over the "repair" button, the game would freeze. Cause : Infinite loop executing on the damaged systems blue notification effect. Solution : Loop closed, no execution till infinity ^^'. Issue : With arsenal lvl3, it's possible to pay ransom without money. Cause : Code error in resource verification for action. Solution : Condition correction for action validation. Spying 1 to 3 jumps away, arriving with 0 invisibility, spying doesn't consume the other actions possible on that spot, which the player can still perform if the conditions are met. Sound FX made to overlap instead of the new one playing cutting the previous. Master warning/master caution blinking again with the new random failure system (see below) Map reticl…
