NEW STUFF

• Added a button in the pie menu to unequip a soldier’s kit in weapon racks.
  
• Added structures’ name in the requirements box.
  

CHANGES

• Mining surface iron, brimstone and stone boulders is now much more gradual and all maps have been rebalanced to include a better amount of starting resources around crystals. To elaborate, a single voxel of brimstone crystals used to take a few seconds to break and instantly give 10 brimstone. Now, every pickaxe hit will generate 1 brimstone and each voxel will supply 40 brimstone. Same deal with boulders and iron. This limits the necessity to send your Bricktrons travelling far away to mine resources when you run out of the little ones available near your crystal.
  
• In Conquest, player crystals can now be destroyed instead of captured. This solves the issue where you’d be at your enemy’s base, capturing their crystal with an Unsullied sized army, but the capture would keep getting reset because one of their workers would respawn. Now you can just destroy their Crystal, homes and everything they love.
  
• You can now build rope bridges above quarries – Bricktrons won’t destroy them anymore.
  
• Ctrl + Right-clicking a stockpile with a Bricktron selected will make the Bricktron drop their resources in it, instead of filling their inventory with the stockpile’s contents.
  
• Halting workers no longer shows their inventory and thoughts unless you hover them or select them.
  
• Improved performance when hovering blueprints to see their requirements.
  

FIXES

• Fixed an issue where quarries, landscape and tunnel tasks would assign surface resources as acceptable goals.
  
• Fixed issue with the landscape task’s “highest level” button picking the lower surface possible instead.
  
• Added missing names to Credit Island.
  
• Fixed an issue where cogs were invisible if on the ground.
  
• Fixed a visual issue where multiplayer clients would see the axe on the chopping block even if Bricktrons were using it.
  
• Fixed strange animations with Sentinel wards’ cool down bar.
  
• Fixed an issue where the in-game screenshot tool didn’t apply visual enhancements to the image.
  
• Fixed the in-game screenshot tool not removing the vertical yellow lines of task beacons.
  
• Fixed the selection circle on stockpiles being too small.
  
• Fixed Sentinel ward’s mesh when it’s in the Altar.
  
• Fixed multiplayer clients’ crafting station animations.
  
• Fixed the materials for wards in crafting stations.
  
• Fixed an issue where quarries’ stairs could pop out above the ground.
  
• Fixed an issue where Bricktrons kept their tools equipped when carrying stuff.
  
• Hovering red blueprints no longer shows you their requirements.
  

• Fixed spawning Corruptrons in the debug menu not working.
  
• Fixed pylons being spawned on slopes sometimes not saving.
  

NEW STUFF

• We've added a new tooltips system that allows us to guide the players through the first few steps of a game. We recommend playing them in Sandbox to give you all the time in the world to learn the game, but they'll work in any of the modes. Those can be disabled in your options.
  
• We added new graphics options that will help improve FPS.
  
• Added the possibility to join via IP address for those who don't go thru Steam.
  
• Harvest tasks will now change icon depending on what's toggled on or off, which will help avoid the confusion of "why won't my harvest (which only has trees toggled on) not harvest this Brimstone?!
  

IMPROVEMENTS

• You can now see required ingredients by hovering a blueprint even if you're not in its construction task, which will help reduce instances of "why won't Bricktrons build my Catapult?"
  
• Rubble from destroying boulders doesn't fly so far away anymore
