Fixed a few bugs Hangar ships are now deleted properly when deleted by the user Achievement "In A Hurry" now triggers correctly Achievement "Light Speed" now triggers correctly Thank you for reporting issues, we try and fix them as soon as possible!

- RELEASE DAY!!! 1.0 UPDATE! - 20 August 2021
New Stuff A new sector! There is now a final fourth sector after the fire sector! 3 planet types 5 new enemies New modules Scavenger Drone - Unique Quantum Shield - Unique Shurikens - Ammo weapon Grenade Launcher - Ammo Weapon New shields to replace the previous shield - Now with angles! New ship model skins Cube Discs Cabin Arc Cables Hangar play mode Hangar changes, old ships will be lost. Sorry. :( For now, the Hangar play mode is simply the same mode again, like taking the ship for a victory lap or even taking a defeated ship and getting a head start! Use this mode to maybe make some adjustments or build crazy big. (We take no responsibility for you building bigger ships than reasonable. :D) You can't take that second ship out a third time though, that would quickly get a bit too ridiculous! Achievements! We have added 30 Steam Achievements! We got many great suggestions in our Disc…
- 0.9.8.4 Black screen fix - 16 July 2021
We've seen the issue with the black screen after loading a bit too much and I think we found a fix for it, so here's a quick update to sort that out. Also made another easy fix change re-adding Anti-aliasing and some visual improvements in build mode. tl;dr Fix for Black screen after loading (if you still see it after this, please let us know) Anti-aliasing turned on again Re-added some nice post-processing effects in build mode that we lost along the way Thanks for being awesome and understanding during our Early Access! Really looking forward to sharing the big 1.0 update with everyone next month! /Jonas Red Cabin Games
- Thank you! - One year update! - 12 June 2021
Hello Scavengers! One year ago today we released the first Early Access version. The initial plan was to work on the game for 3-9 months in early access, but the impressive response from you and the discussions and suggestions in our Discord Channel has inspired us to continue working for a little longer. Adding more new stuff than we initially imagined! We are not ready to reveal our planned release date just yet, but it will be later in the summer. We also have a Nintendo Switch version ready to release at the same time and we hope you can understand we need to work on stabilizing the build and prepare a new release trailer etc before we go to 1.0. Let's have a quick look back at what we have done in the past year! Our current module count is as follows: 27 weapons (15 at release) 11 utility modules (5) 9 “unique” modules (0) These additions really add exponentially more variety to sh…
- 0.9.8.3 Hotfix - 6 May 2021
Hello again, another small little patch to fix one major bug and some other small balance changes Bugfix Fixed a rare bug where Toads would sometimes get stuck in their explode animation if stunned from two different sources. Balancing Booster prices were a bit all over the place. They should now be more reasonable Adjusted some skin "blueprint" visuals to make it easier to see your selection in build mode Maces are fun, but maybe a bit too strong... Made some small adjustments to several stats Mace - Shorter range and a little less damage. Still strong I hope, but they were maybe a bit too much Electric mace - Shorter range, slower speed, less damage, more energy cost. Sounds worse than it is, very small reductions to all of them, hopefully adds up to a more balanced module. Thanks! /Jonas & Jacob

Bug fixes Removed a couple of unfinished modules that were accidentally activated in the first shops :) Fixed bug where loading a ship with boomerang in cargo would behave strangely Please let us know if you find any more of these strange behaviours with loading games, there are so many combinations it's very difficult for us to catch all of them.
