Key points:

• A new major mid-game sidequest delves into the mystery of the ‘Strange Materials’ and provides more insight into certain factions in the game. About two hours of new content.
  
• Tied to this quest is a new character who will take you on a wild trip with unconventional science.
  
• Two new locations, one where you get to drive the Rover manually.
  
• Two new tracks added to the soundtrack.
  
• A new ending and ending states for the existing endings.
  
• New research, items and perks.
  
• The entire interface has been redone with better contrast, more awareness of overlapping clutter and better usability. It’s still an old-school affair, but it’s a lot easier on the eyes. Also includes mappable hotkeys and a special mode for people who have problems reading yellow text.
  
• The point-and-click system is now instantaneous and responsive. The character will move to an interactable location and no longer slow down to settle in.
  
• Many optimizations, fixes and updates.

• Extra clue added for crash investigation mystery
  
• Generate power quest moves to complete when you generate enough power to cover the standard systems. The success description will encourage you to keep improving the generator, but it won't clutter your active quest log anymore.
  
• Green, green grass of home has an extra 'talk to Val' entry before the end and goes to complete even you choose not to end the game this way.
  
• Neural manifold moves to complete when you upload the imprint. The quest log is clearer on what happened if you choose not to end the game there. A bit of dialogue with Daisuke has been added to accomodate post-end play.

• Singularity conversation flow improved.

Known Issues

• Reporting to Ling after finishing the Throat quest still teleports the player to the second floor on some systems. It's purely cosmetic and not a big issue so it wasn't a priority, but it will be fixed in a coming minor patch.
  

Notes

• 32-bit is no longer officially supported. No one has used it so far so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're running a 32 bit system, please mention it in the forum and we'll try to work something out.
  
• Quest and dialogue improvements that would alter your progress will not propagate to current playthroughs and savegames so nothing gamebreaking will occur. Keep that in mind if you don't see any changes in a quest description or completion. Most improvements will show up, however.
  
• Of course, although at this point I'm pretty confident the quest flow is almost watertight, no amount of testing can ever cover each and every permutation so if you still run into what you think is an inconsistency, please mention it in the bug report forum.
  

1.171 Changes

Changelog

Major Fixes

• New Rover Model - Why? The old one was only designed to look good from certain angles. Free Cam Mode wasn't kind on it. The new one looks solid from all angles and is easier on your GPU. It's also just a little bit chunkier and more in line with the overall aesthetics. It's seen in the header image for this update. Locations where it was not an issue still have the old model in place but this will gradually change. Here it is without any upgrades:
