We hope you brought a sweater! The Frigid Frostblaster is here!! This boss features entirely new combat mechanics and some devastating ice-cold moves. We've also given defense drones a mini rework and have implemented steam cloud saving functionality!

Changes with the '📡 ' icon in front of them are changes or additions suggested by the community!

Winter is coming!-NEW BOSS: The ☠️ FRIGID FROSTBLASTER ☠️
This boss can be encountered in the third bossfight after defeating wave 12, and will be quite the formidable foe!

-New Arena Mechanic: The Steam Release Valve
In the Frostblaster's chamber you can find a damaged Control Station that you can repair by spending some scrap. Once repaired you can interact with the big red valve to fill the room with superheated steam, and gain the STEAMY buff!

-New Buff: Steamy ♨️
This buff grants you increased movement speed and a complete immunity to the frostbite debuff!

-Speaking of Steam, we now have fully functional Steam Cloud Saving! Take your progress across multiple devices and leave those manual file transfers in the past!

-Updated the "Snowcone?" achievement
OLD: Kill a boss while you're afflicted with the frostbite debuff
NEW: Kill the Frostblaster without getting frostbite during the fight

-Updated the visuals of the frostbite debuff, with new particles, screen effects, and even freezing your weapon icon in the bottom left!

-Defense Drone
Price scaling per defense drone purchased has been removed
Defense drones now take damage when they block projectiles, taking increased damage from more dangerous projectile types.
Defense drones start regenerating health after not taking damage for a few seconds, if they take too much damage they explode, becoming disabled for a short while.
Disabled defense drones will automatically repair and reenable at full health.
You can see the drone's current health level by the indicator light color and visual effects as more damage is taken.

Developer Thoughts: Defense drones have always been held back by their old design. The first drone would be decently balanced, but because they could absorb infinite damage, each acquired drone would have exponential benefits, and as such several limitations had to be placed on the drones, such as the increasing price per defense drone purchased. The biggest flaw was how they limited the design of interesting enemy attacks that used a single projectile. With these adjustments, drones are much more healthy for the game, and should be easier to pick up as a result!-Whispering Lantern
Lanterns needed per level decreased 5 -> 3
Chance on kill for lantern to drop increased 3% -> 5%
Damage boost per level decreased +20% (Max +100%) -> +10% (Max +50%)
The Whispering Lantern has been a very polarizing item, where it would be useless and slow to start stacking early on, but would become insanely too powerful late game. These changes aim to make it feel much more useful early on compared to before without becoming too powerful later. The buff from picking up lanterns once the item is fully stacked is still unchanged, and very strong. Now you should be able to stack this item faster and play for the powerful pickups as a reward.

-Juicy Co. Energy Drink
Increased firerate boost per stack +10% -> +15%

-Additional minor fixes to issues found with the tutorial

Introducing the next big bad boss: the Giga-Beamer! Equip yourself with a shiny new powershot and a spooky new item to take it down!

Changes with the '📡 ' icon in front of them are changes or additions suggested by the community!

Fear the giga-beamer!-NEW BOSS: The ☠️ GIGA BEAMER ☠️
This boss can be encountered in the second bossfight after defeating wave 10, and should be quite the formidable foe!

-The new boss introduces a new debuff: 🐌 Sticky 🐌
This will slow your movement speed and cripple the recharge rate of your combat roll. When afflicted with this debuff, you have to time your combat roll perfectly, use it too early and you're toast!

-Ammo UI has been reworked for greater back-end flexibility, this should fix issues related to the ammo bar getting messy at high ammo counts

-New Visuals for Rusty Magnet, Mineral Scanner, Unstable Isotope, Whispering Lantern, and Burning Enemies

-Added special art for stunned detonator enemies

-Shortened "Elder Plasma Spitter" to simply "Elder Spitter"

-The game no longer exits you from a store when you Alt+Tab or Shift+Tab

-Integrated steam rich presence! Now you can see which mercenary your friends are playing as and where they are in their runs!

-📡 New Setting: Controller Cursor Distance
This setting allows you to customize how close or far your cursor is to your weapon when using a controller

-📡 New Setting: Show Mini Cooldown Indicators
This setting toggles on two small indicators by your character that show you the cooldown status of your combat roll and your ability

-Powershot
Added new ability visuals!
Rotated burst projectile orientation by 180 degrees

Now you won't get that pesky projectile that's sent straight back towards you-Shotgun
Tightened projectile spread by +27%
This should make it significantly easier to do higher damage without needing to be in point blank ranges to enemies

-Custom Minisentry
Increased projectile speed by +75%
This allows the minisentry to hit moving targets easier, which helps it deal damage better damage when it's alone

-Scrap Efficiency (Passive)
Scrap back from armor purchases in shop increased +25% -> +50%
Small buff to make this aspect of his passive a bit more impactful

-Drillmine Launcher
Reduced base firerate by -6%
Increased drillmine explosion radius by +15%
Small Stat tweak to lean the drillminer into his strengths as an AoE damage dealer
-Mineral Scanner 💻
OLD:
9 second scan (+9 seconds per stack)

12 deposits that yield medium scrap

NEW:
12 second scan (+12 seconds per stack)

8 deposits that yield small scrap

4 rich deposits that yield golden small scrap

rich deposits can be scanned 2-5 times each

every deposit has a +18% chance per additional threat level to yield triple scrap values!

New Mineral Scanner Visuals!-Royal Jelly 🐝
Bee targeting range reduced by 25% (New range: 5)
Bee damage reduced 30 -> 20
Bee recharge time reduced 2 seconds -> 1.25 seconds
NEW: Bee recharge time now reduced by an additional 0.15 seconds per stack

-Tasty Honeycomb 🍯
Bee targeting range reduced by 25% (New range: 6.5)
Bee damage reduced 30 -> 20
Bee recharge time increased 1.25 seconds -> 1.5 seconds
NEW: Bee recharge time now reduced by an additional 0.35 seconds per stack

Previously the Tasty Honeycomb was essentially a direct upgrade to the Royal Jelly, it had a higher bps (bees per second) and could fire bees onto enemies from nearly double the range of the Jelly. It also didn't help that stacking them was neat but not that interesting.

Now, the Royal Jelly will have superior bps in the early game, with the condition that you need to remain closer to enemies to fire out the bees, when compared to the Tasty Honeycomb. But, if you gain multiple stacks, the Honeycomb will surpass the Jelly in sheer damage. Both of these items will also benefit from scaling considerably better with additional stacks now that the bee recharge rate is improved by them.

The range adjustments also make the Jelly more useful in prolonged close quarters combat, whereas the Honeycomb will be more suited to longer range playstyles.

-Multi-Stimpack Injector 💉
Movement speed reduced 25% -> 20%
Firerate, reload rate, damage, ability recharge speed, and projectile speed & range increased 25% -> 45%

-Unstable Isotope ☢️

These bugs have been squashed!

In this update we finally introduce the first boss fights! We currently only have the first boss, the Elder Plasma Spitter, in the game so far as the others are still in development! We plan to roll them out one at time as we finish them. Then we'll work on polishing the boss fight system, with smoother transitions, art for the different boss arenas, and more! We're also planning to release in early access on steam in two weeks!!! We'll be cleaning up and fixing small things from now until then.

-Introducing BOSS FIGHTS!!
•After completing every fifth wave, you will be prompted to enter the main mineshaft, to repair a damaged powerline substation
•When you start the repair you'll have to fight a supercharged boss gloop!
•The boss gloop has several unique attacks that you'll have to outplay to come out unscathed!
•When the boss hits half health, it becomes ENRAGED, enhancing its attacks with new effects
•Upon death, the boss explodes with scrap and drops a supply crate that contains a free rare item!

-Also, everytime you return to the surface after a boss fight, the time of day will be changed!

-New visual effect for applying the poison debuff to enemies ☢️

Playing with fire
Ignite an enraged boss while you're at critical health

The bigger they are...
Kill 3 bosses with powershot in a single run

It can strike twice!
Kill a boss with the activation damage from an overclock

What doesn't kill you...
Finish a bossfight with at least 1 armor

-Explosive Detonator 🧨
Dynamite dropped per roll increased 1 (+1 per stack) -> 3 (+3 per stack)
Max dynamite cap increased 5 (+5 per stack) -> 9 (+9 per stack)
Dynamite damage reduced 100 -> 75
This item required too much work to set up a dynamite trap without that much payoff, with these changes it is much easier and faster to set up dynamite traps on a whim, and get super satisfying explosions as payoff.

-Silver Wings ⏩
Projectile speed and range increased 15% -> 20%

-Overloading Prism 🟣
Crit chance reduced 16% -> 8%
When we did the crit number adjustment, we increased the crit chance of this item, but it proved to be very impactful just on its own, we're reducing this a bit so that it depends more on getting more crit chance from other items
-Winchester Shells 💥
Empowered attack projectiles will now pierce 1 (+1 per stack) enemies

-Red Matter Duplicator 🏮
Scrap income reduced 15% (+15% per stack) -> 10% (+10% per stack)
This item proves to be a little too powerful now that it is an all class item, so it's getting a slight adjustment
(spoilered for your protection)

Rare Tier

Summon a trio of friendly beamers when you use your ability!

These bugs have been squashed!

-Fixed an issue with your inventory sometimes visually disappearing after exiting from an alternate area

You can now also correctly layer overclock effects on targets affected by a empowered overclock (empowered overclock takes priority)

-Red Matter Duplicator 🏮
This is now a general item that can be unlocked with the achievement "Personal finance is epic"!

This item is really neat and it isn't that connected to the Engineer's item themes or his gameplay kit specifically, so moving it to the general item pool creates a spot for a cool new rare item for him that is!

(spoilered for your protection)
