Update 0.9.2

🚨 "THE FULL RELEASE UPDATE" arrives 11 OCT

🔄 CHANGES

  • MINER Mode: there's now a one-time popup pointing out that Abyss Deposits just hurt you when broken. (not shown if you've already progressed in this Mode)
  • Daily Dive: tweaked to be just sliiightly easier - there's been a lot of absolutely brutal ones lately.

🔨 FIXES

  • Guardians:
  • X Guardian:
  • unlock would often trigger late.
  • ORBITAL STRIKE! Powerpolyp: now only targets marked Microbes.
  • BOMBARDMENT! Powerpolyp: now only damages marked Microbes.

[/*][*]

Praxis Guardian: if all of your Studies completed while in the "STUDIES AVAILABLE" menu and during ENDLESS, the moment they vanished, you'd get booted into the next wave.

[/*][*]

Mole Guardian: various glowing-edge effects that were supposed to be disabled for this Guardian could randomly turn visible while in the SHOP.

[/*][/*][*]

Daily Dive:

  • The button on the main menu would sometimes just not activate when using a gamepad / Steam Deck.
  • Fixed some more issues with what Daily Dives could generate (ex. "Range +100%" on Minelayer Barrel).
  • Selecting it via gamepad / Steam Deck wouldn't move your selection to the "DIVE" button after you enter the DAILY DIVE menu.hyper-rare bug where the wave timer can go into the negatives and the wave never ends.

[/*][*]

SETTINGS:

  • pressing the back button (Esc / B / etc.) while a bind is selected now actually goes back (unless you're actively setting the bind).
  • toggling "Low Nanobot Visuals" now shows/hides them immediately mid-dive.

[/*][*]

some unlocks (like for Bilayer Mod) could occur at seemingly random times.

[/*][*]

Overwriting a saved loadout would still show the old loadout on the right until selection changes.

[/*][*]

Keyboard & mouse should now work while they're connected to a Steam Deck.
