Thanks for listing this @DevilinPixy

I can’t wait to try out the new features and fixes when I get home in a few hours. I have to see this Flesh helmet, which sounds a little wrong by name….

(I actually thought that for the Korvax , the good deed was it own reward for turning in the crew manifest.)

Man, I love HG. I put in a bug report (or 2) and less than a month later they’re fixed. Compare to the other space-game where bugs are still large and apparent (if not worse) 3 years later.

very cool

I need to check this update out, is the old way of collecting living slime - refine to runaway mold, then refine to nanites still available, or have they replaced it with Tainted Metal as a quicker option to get Nanites, and also flexible as its also used as a currency…very smart…me like it…a lot :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
