Patchnotes 0.7.0 Early Access Preview

Dear Drone Engineers,

We just released the new Campaign Update on the preview branch and we need your help to test the game, report bugs and give us feedback about the new campaign mode, so we can improve it and fix all critical bugs before the patch goes live for everyone. Keep in mind that this preview build is still a work in progress. 

Back up your save files before downloading the preview branch!

Here is where you can find the save files: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/651-please-read-this-before-posting/

This update is not compatible with your older save files and might break your drones.
We implemented a mechanism that extracts all drones from your previous saves and adds them to the new global drone list used in the creative and competitive mode. So you should find your drones there if everything works out!

 

Here is how you can get the preview build on steam:

– Open your Steam library
– Right click on Nimbatus in the Steam library
– Select Properties / Beta
– Select the Beta tab
– Enter imadeabackup as password to unlock the preview branch

– Select Preview_0.7.0 from the drop down
– Restart steam in case the game does not update automatically or you can't see the preview branch

...you can travel back through a wormhole too.

Are you sure you can :/ ? I can't reproduce this, I'm sorry. From our side it's not intended that you are able to go back a galaxy in the campaign mode :)

I got a Particle Thrower that says kinetic and flames. Plasma weapons say plasma, not flames, and my other particle thrower does not say flames. What does this "Flames" attribute mean?

You should have flames on every particle thrower at the moment.
It just shows the type of particle. For example we had an electric spark thrower in an earlier version (which will come back).

I'm just asking about the limits on parts in the 0.7 beta because currently i am having a few problems with power and the only batteries i can find are the small ones and i already appeared to have hit the max cap at 10. Im not sure if this is temporary or not, but it would be nice to not have a cap on certain parts or at least raise the cap. Thank you!

I quickly discussed it with @ArnoJ. That 10 cap per part is something which is a leftover from earlier versions which doesn't make sense anymore. It will get removed with the next update. Thanks for posting!

Have you installed the game in Steam? Right-click on the game in the library and then choose properties. There should be a beta tab where you can enter the password "imadeabackup ". Which is the last step which works for you?
