Realistic Room Layouts: Furniture, crates, and machinery are now placed using a more logical, "lived-in" algorithm. No more random clusters – rooms now have clear functional zones. New Decorations: Added pipes, ventilation valves, and wall-mounted tool plates to increase visual variety and immersion.High-Voltage Hazards: Watch your step! Exposed wiring can now be found hanging from ceilings or protruding from walls. If the ship's power is active, these live wires will deliver a punishing electrical shock to any drone (or monster) that gets too close. Use caution whe…

- Update v0.3.1 Biological Threat Update: Biomass & The Swarm - 4 May 2026
Update v0.3.1: Organic Infestation and Vent Navigation The derelicts are no longer just cold metal and failing circuits. Something organic is spreading.

Visual Interference: Gas clouds severely limit standard drone visibility. Sonar Glitch: Your sonar won't save you here—gas generates thick "green noise" interference, obscuring geometry. Hazardous Combo: Gas is highly flammable. A single spark, electrical short, or stray bullet can turn a toxic room into a lethal explosion. 🌬️ Dynamic DecompressionStructural integrity is now a constant concern. Airlock Failures: Airlocks (especially those damaged by docking) can now fail and blow open mid-mission. Vacuum Chain Re…
