Update 1.16
Visual update for shield and energy flow, now you can see at a glance what is working and connected properly.
It has been sometime since our last update, implementing this visual update took longer than expected, so we decided to pick up the pace!
From this update onward, we will only post announcement when the stable branch is updated.
The experimental branch will be updated more often and more unstable. Opt-in at your own risk.

Experimental update 1.12
Weapon overcharge is finally here!
This update only have energy injector with increase weapon damage and mining rate, but we will soon add range boost. Check out the manual page about overcharge as well.
There are no limit as to how much energy you can add to the weapon for now, the idea is that more energy will generate more heat, eventually overheat or even melt your system. Then you will need to install cooling to counter that. But that's another story.
For now, we will focus on adding more capability to the overcharge system, and more type of enemy. And of course bug fix.

Implmentated overcharge system
Mining laser can now be overcharged
Small laser can now be overcharged
Added energy conduit block

Status Report - Overcharge your laser
A quick report on what we are working on right now. As you may have guess from the picture, we are half way into implementing the first of our core game mechanic, which is overfeeding your hungry laser!
You can build energy injector that convert power from your generator into weapon energy which is feed through a special energy conduit into the turret and finally your laser.
There will be different type of converter that boosts different aspect of your weapon, increasing attack damage and range are the basics, eventually we will have more exotic one like giving armor melting or freezing effect.
The next update is going to be so exciting, it is every man's dream to build bigger laser. I can't wait!
Thanks for reading.
