The Riftbreaker

ENDGAMEIntroduced a new part of the Story Campaign that becomes available when Added Megastructures - 6 massive buildings that pose a significant challenge in a couple of ways: large upfront costs (requiring you to build up your economy), high upkeep requirements (posing a logistical challenge), and enormous size (requiring you to plan space for them in your base). Completing these building projects will lead you to the ‘true’ ending of the game.Added new Story Missions and encounters to guide you through the process of building the Megastructures. They are fully voiced by Ashley and Mr. Riggs.Added the Mission Generator feature to the Orbital Scanner screen. After completing the main storyline for any given biome, you will now have the option to look for new areas of interest within that biome.Added more than twenty handcrafted gameplay tiles with various shapes and sizes to create new tactical gameplay scenarios. Fun fact: The Riftbreaker 1.0 launched with 30 unique gameplay tiles for 4 biomes. The Riftbreaker 2.0 currently includes 225 gameplay tiles across 7 unique biomes.Added 14 new ‘encounter tiles’ - special map tiles that you can find during the generated exploration missions. They stand out visually and narratively, giving you new insights into the world of Galatea 37. Most important change: there is a dancing emote. Activate the emote wheel by pressing \"H\" by default.OTHER MAJOR CHANGESAdded 73 new Omega-strain creatures. These are more powerful and tougher versions of existing Galatean species. Each of them has received a visual overhaul to emphasize their high power level and terrifying nature. They serve as Boss encounters in attack waves on higher difficulty levels (but not only there! You can also find them in the wild!)Introduced a major rework of the Loot and Weapon system. You can now find complete weapons and items as rewards for exploration and combat challenges. Weapon firepower has been adjusted to ‘flatten’ the power disparity between the most and least useful weapons. The least popular items have been reworked to encourage players to find new uses for them.Changed the looks and functionality of the Minimap and the large Map screen. Instead of ambiguous colors, resources, and important buildings are now marked with icons. There are also several toggles to adjust the objects displayed on the map.Introduced the Mass Disassembly option, which allows you to quickly dismantle large quantities of unused mods, mech upgrades, and weapons.Added a Search option to the top of the Research Tree Screen.Added the Death Skull system - a new way of encouraging a more measured and careful approach to combat. You can read about this system here.Added new compositions of attack waves for Endgame purposes. You’ve seen nothing yet.

Update v26457:Added new environment tiles to the Radioactive Desert and Acidic Plains biomes improving the richness and variety of these environments.Lots of fixes and optimizations for the ResourceSystem. They can reduce CPU performance costs associated with calculating energy grids and other resources, especially in large bases, by up to 15x.Several optimizations for Acidic Yeast. It should have less of a performance impact now and take up less space in saved game states.Improved component packing and unpacking speed (improved CPU performance).The process of creating labels and bars now uses CommandBuffer to increase CPU performance.Fixed how the \"Walk in the park\" is triggered.Acidic Yeast and its parts got a texture upgrade.Added support for removing and recreating LuaComponent to make save files smaller.Added debug_recreate_buildings command. Use it if you encountered a bug that disconnected all your buildings from the energy grid. This command will remove and recreate all buildings and connections in your base.The game will wait for the user profile to finish saving before exiting to the desktop to prevent data loss.Added more constraints to ResourceVolumeRenderable to prevent resources from spawning in wrong spots.Initialize uninitialized member variables to prevent some issues with loading the game.Fixed camera_enable_zoom crashes with raytracing enabled.Added debug output for render window creation to give us more information in case something goes wrong.Weather events such as acid rain and hail storm are now more localized and no longer deal damage to all structures. Their time has also been reduced.Added more neutral weather events to the event pool to reduce the chance of a negative event taking place.
