The first patch post 1.0 release! Turns out there were a few bugs left after the Beta. Thanks to everyone for reporting them. This release is fully compatible with old saves.

Installation:

1) Steam: should update automatically. Check the bottom right corner in the title screen for the version number. If it doesn't show “TFTV 1.0, patch 1 20240507 release #1”, restart Steam. If it still doesn't update, unsubscribe and subscribe to TFTV (no worries, won't do anything to your saves).

+Game starting without warning about missing DLC.
+Disable Autostandby mod option was on by default (you can change it anytime in the Mod settings tab in the title screen).

Terror from the Void 1.0!

Maintains save compatibility with open beta.

Update #60

-Bugfixes
+When VO halving all diplo penalties and rewards in effect, reward from sabotage missions not getting halved.
+Guardian torso armor incompatible with vests.
+Softlock if an attack attempts to apply a status on an already destroyed bodypart.
+Harmless (but annoying) error message when operative with Echo head using consumables.
+Hoplites not self-repairing if they don’t have any arms.
+Running out of time on Base Defense triggering an error message.
+Unable to save game after defeating Behemoth in some rare cases.
+Attacking when Scarab equipping Stability Module using regular attack if using hotkey or dropdown menu option.
+Scarab Taurus gun sometimes failing to do damage.

-Changes
+More medkits for support characters in the final mission.

Update #59

-Bugfixes
+Base defense mission autofail when attacker one of the factions: the way it should work is that when you are attacked by a faction, an enemy craft will first go to your base and hang around it for a while (giving you a chance to shoot it down). Once the attack starts, however, you will only have a chance to defend the base if you have some operatives at the base and you will not have time to equip. The mission itself is like base defense in Vanilla. (Eh, minus the bug where you always autofail it).
+Occasional inconsistency in the Olena base attack event text.
+Goo having no actual impact on movement cost (please note that it shouldn't increase cost if the character has the slowed status or has immunity to goo).
+Saving a game after killing all the hoplites on a mission and then loading it gave Cyclops 100% DR.
+Wrong information on tooltip re character movement (Vanilla).

Hotfix to Update #58

-Bugfixes

+In Base Defense, reinforcements strats repeating themselves before all have played out.

+Marketplace weapons/ammo getting replenished after buying them.
+Killing/Rendering captive Pandoran specimen while vivisection of Pandoran in progress prevents doing the research after obtaining a new copy of specimen.

Update #57

-Bugfixes
+Occasional and harmless error message on Tactic Starting Volley.
+Scarab, Armadillo and Junker doing excessive turn-damage (e.g. destroying walls in havens by turning around them).
+Surveillance ability of Sentinels, eggs and others displaying wrong activation boundaries on hover over (Vanilla).
+Armadillo Flamethrower/Obliterator softlock on getting destroyed and then evacuating.
+Armadillo Obliterator destruction not destroying the Flamethrower.
+AI tendency to nonsensically move out of cover after shooting (Vanilla).
+Firequenchers appearing too soon.
+ODI event damaging all operatives for 200 HP (should be 50).
+Incorrect handling of research requiring captured Pandoran when Pandoran killed before research was revealed or started.

-Changes
+Spider Drone launcher made a silent weapon.
+Mist Sentinel surveillance ability reduced to 15 tiles (from 100).
+Echo head (Bionic 3 head) now instead of a passive making all attacks silent, gives a special shoot ability limited to 1 use per turn making any direct fire weapon attack silent.
+If at the start of a faction’s turn 5 or later there are no revealed or located enemies, a random enemy will no longer be located.

Explanation re Stealth changes: Vanilla had a bug where any attack made by infiltrator was always silent (yes, the Echo head added nothing in that regard), and, at the same time, to ensure that the player couldn’t remain hidden forever, on turn 5 and subsequent turns, if no enemies were visible or located, a random enemy would be located. You also experienced it as the player, when seeing a red ping at the start of your turn showing the location of an enemy that had done nothing to reveal its position during its turn. You experienced it more dramatically when your concealed infiltrator was suddenly getting shot at.

In update #56, we fixed the Vanilla bug that made all attacks by infiltrators silent, and now we are removing the AI crutch (or cheat) that allowed it to locate hidden operatives.

This means that, from now on, your unrevealed and not located infiltrators should not be getting attacked. However, if all your operatives are hidden, the AI will still tend to go where they are to find them.

Update #56

-Bugfixes
+Multiple instances of Adaptive Resistance hint showing if restarting mission several times.
+Base defense: Infestation mission if player loses vs faction assault on base (the base should be just wrecked).
+With Adaptive Resistance VO in effect, Marketplace renews stock every time a mission is completed/game is loaded (now to get new prices need to wait until stock rotates after VO appears/disappears).
+Not showing as objectives the VOs that impact tactical in tactical.
+Champion tier enemies recovering allies Will even if dead or evacuated.
+If playing Etermes Geoscape but switching special resistance/vulnerability off, special resistance/vulnerability reverting to On after a mission/geoscape load.
+Vehicles not getting the Slowed Status from Goo attack/starting turn in Goo.
+Infiltrators are always treated as if using a silent weapon (Vanilla).

-Changes
+Impossible weapons no longer require faction research for manufacture.
+Reduced Cyclops DR on Etermes (now has the same Resistance as on other difficulties and no Etermes special DR).
+Empty Aircraft can now be scrapped in the personnel screen. Copied and adapted from Mad’s Assorted Adjustments (all hail Mad!).
