Expansion Core Alpha 0.2.1 Patch Notes


Major Features:
- The Mobile Base has gotten a pretty big rework. If the Mobile Base dies now, it will automatically repair itself in 30 seconds. This makes it so that the player can't get soft-locked if they die in a resource-less area
- The Mobile Base, while set up, now repairs both itself and the player as well as recharging it's power
- The main HUD now shows the player's stats as well as the Mobile Base's stats so it's easier to keep track of it's power
- Added a new soundtrack to the underground tutorial area
- All armor now increases max Hull instead of damage reduction for better readability
- Added a ton of sounds to a bunch of things in game

New Features:
- Made all of the UI much more user-friendly in terms of interaction including: Interaction text next to the crosshair, Tabs for crafting menus, Hovering over allies stats look cleaner, etc.
- Added plenty of particle effects to the furnace, drill, healer and mobile base, as well as all allies
- Increased enemy item drop rates
- Wrist UI has been updated to not have player stats since they're shown in the main HUD
- Added floating UI to show stockpile progress from a distance
- Updated all of the bars to be consistently colored based on what they're depicting (i.e. Red = Hull, Green = EXP etc.)
- Updated the empty module slots on the Mobile Base to be more clickable
- Some minor map changes

Bug Fixes:
- I broke the sun rotation saving/loading one last time for good measure in Patch 0.1.4... so it's now fixed again
- Removed a lot of the useless debug logs
- Fixed healer not healing itself
- Fixed stockpile not properly updating internal inventory
- Fixed overlapping text in ally UI
- Fixed issue causing player to fall through the landscape on loading
- Fixed a bad reference to the Mobile Base causing the compass to break
- The audio settings in the menu should now work like a dream (hopefully)
- Dropping from an ally/storage's inventory should work now

Behind the scenes:
- More work was done on multiplayer. Most of the joining system is now working, but the quests are not working at all and ally interaction is lacking. Still more work to do before it makes it's way into an actual release.
