Patch 16

Dear cult members and acolytes, accursed fiends and Blessed Piscean Overlords hiding among us.

Because today is the anniversary of the TFTV 1.0 release we wanted to give you something special. Actually, two things.

First, today's release includes a series of options that we have called "Cheat Options" (yes, we are appealing to your Pride and Self-esteem), so you can do a bunch of unholy things we don't want you to do but which some of you want to do anyway. Specifically, these are:

- Max 3 augmentations
- Can augment Mercenaries
- Unlimited deployment
- Vehicles and Mutogs take only 1 space
- Can carry multiple vehicles on an aircraft
- Characters drop all equipment and inventory on death.
- Delirium capped at 4 (so fully rested operatives never experience WP loss from it).
- Easy air combat (Pandoran flyers don't evolve, will always use the starting loadouts)
- Behemoth will submerge and disappear right after appearing.

You can turn any of them on in TFTV Mod Settings in the title menu, or at the start of a new game. All of them should work with games already in progress. But you definitely shouldn't use them, because, remember: they are called Cheat Options, and you possess Pride and Self-esteem.

The second thing is that we want you to know that we have plans, and plans within plans. And yet smaller plans within those, and then bigger plans within the smaller plans (because it's madness!, etc.)

For a few months now we have been working on a significant overhaul of some aspects of the Geoscape, and in the coming weeks we will be starting an open beta test.

We are not prepared to give more details yet, as things might change before we commence the open beta. However, in high level terms, this overhaul intends to conclude the journey of bringing Phoenix Point to the place it was meant to be (as we see it), and serve as a starting point for the next trip.

In other words, things are grotesquely mutating, as usual.

Happy anniversary and thank you for all your support and feedback!!
