- Update 0.11.23 - 19 September 2026
We are currently reworking the automatic control and NPC AI processing. In this update, drives now support automatic control; they can be automatically turned on or off based on conditions such as their destination, CAT's status, and whether or not they are engaged in combat. Modifications Added support for automatic control of drives. Added support for automatic control of Optimization E-10% and Optimization E-40%. Reduced the rendering load for backgrounds, particularly in lower layers. Changed the Attack CAT build in the DPS simulator to ensure a better balance between damage types. CP increased by skill effects is no longer affected by CP modification based on motivation. Bug Fixes Fixed: CAT status isn't updated when toggling Over Drive on or off. Fixed: Area-of-effect attacks performed via skills do not cancel cloaking states. Fixed: In some cases, the displayed field of view for…
- Update 0.11.22 - 31 August 2026
Instructions for NPC CATs are composed by AI during the command phase, just as they are when controlled by a player. Each CAT has its own distinct behavior policy, and we improved processing because some CATs were failing to respond appropriately to certain situations. Additions Prevented CATs with Lone Cat from intruding battle and added dedicated CATs for intrusion instead. Added extra effects to M.Core - Dream and M.Core - General. Modifications Changed the behavior of drones for reconnaissance purposes to prevent them from engaging in combat excessively. Improved how CPU-controlled CATs react to environmental heat levels. Adjusted the in-combat movement of CATs equipped with a Guideless Light or a Bullet Timer. Bug Fixes Fixed: Compressed Explosion fails to function when weapons with an AoE radius of 1 are combined with Compressed Explosion and Blast Radius +1. Fixed: CATs equipped…
- Update 0.11.21 - 15 August 2026
Since NPC CATs were not effectively utilizing the modules and skills added in recent updates, we have reviewed and expanded the CAT list. Some of the new CATs will not appear within the 1-8th layers, which are currently implemented. Additions Module: Burning Fist is a melee weapon that triggers a small explosion upon impact. Module: Stellar Breath is a high-power flamethrower for the late game. Module: Flier Buster is an auto defense module that fires guided missiles to intercept incoming ones. CAT: Clione, Luna Lionfish, Ningen, and 19 other models. Modifications Adjusted dozens of existing CAT models to equip previously underutilized modules and skills, focusing primarily on those recently implemented. The heat output from flamethrowers was too intense, so it has been nerfed. Bug Fixes Fixed: Data size of L-derived modules for special weapons and auto defenses was excessively small. F…
- Update 0.11.20 - 31 July 2026
We have implemented a new mechanic for negative heat levels. Modules whose heat level falls below 0 will be disabled for 1 second, and all their defenses will be set to 0. For CATs that haven't warmed up sufficiently yet, Ice Howitzers have become a weapon that inflicts a powerful debuff. Additions Negative heat levels have been introduced for modules. Module: Frozen Bit is a cyber weapon that lowers the heat level of a module it hits. Module: Null Ray is an optical weapon that lowers the heat level of both itself and a module it hits. Module: Promethium Burner is a flamethrower usable in the mid-game. Modifications The impact of environmental heat levels on modules has been halved. Consequently, the parameters for modules and objects that affect environmental heat levels have been adjusted. Bug Fixes Fixed: When the round progress speed is set to anything other than x1, some particles…
- Update 0.11.19 - 15 July 2026
A flamethrower has been implemented as a new weapon type. Available in the early to mid-game, it is categorized as a ballistic weapon featuring rapid fire, short range, low accuracy, and high thermal-type damage. Additions Module: Celosia Flamer is a flamethrower that spews colorful flames. Skill: Missile Splitter splits a missile into three, at the cost of halving the damage and tracking performance of homing weapons. Skill: Treasure Hunt improves the quality of items dropped when destroying objects such as boxes. CAT: Sakura Shrimp is a small CAT equipped with a flamethrower. Regarding existing CATs, Fox Fire has been modified to be equipped with one. Others Passive skills that cost 0 CP and have no drawbacks are now set to "ON" by default in a battle immediately after being learned. Dialogue lines for allied pilots during events have been expanded.
- Update 0.11.18 - 29 June 2026

- Update 0.11.17 - 15 June 2026
Previously, the number of pilot skill slots was fixed at 8, but now it can increase through the effects of a certain skill or module. The download size of this update is larger than usual, perhaps because of a complete overhaul of the development and build environment. The installation size remains mostly unchanged. Additions 🐈Module: Smoke Discharger is an auto defense module that releases a smoke screen in response to enemy attacks to disrupt lidars. 🐈Module: Chaff Discharger is the anti-radar version described above. 🐈Skill: Lone Cat—If there are no other controllable CATs in a playfield, the number of skill slots increases by 8. Modifications Skill: Provocation effect changed. In addition to being targeted preferentially, it now has the drawback of being constantly detected by enemies and the benefit of damage reduction.

- Update 0.11.9 - 2 February 2026
Many drones produced by Drone Pods had low mobility and were very difficult to use. This update generally improves drone mobility overall while fixing several bugs in the drone AI that were hindering their movement. These changes should greatly improve the practicality of Drone Pods. Improvements have also been made to the CAT Builder and wireframe rendering in detected invisible squares. New Features 🐈Modules can now be manufactured directly in the CAT Builder. 🐈Added 12 new specialized drone types for Drone Pods, separate from the small CATs that are usually placed. (Some other drones are still placed normally.) Other Modifications 🐈Improved on/off control of drives for drone AI that follows the parent CAT's movements. 🐈Reduced the overall data size of Drone Pods. 🐈Increased the variety of wireframe images to make it easier to recognize object types in invisible detected squares.…
- Update 0.11.8 - 17 January 2026
When scrapping a derivative module, there is now a chance to obtain a corresponding mod kit, making it easier to modify modules.
