• Fixed negative numbers displaying sometimes for average energy.

BALANCE

WHAT'S NEW?

• Worked on better save file handling to prevent a bug where the 'new game' button stopped working. The game will now load from a backup saved file if the saved file has been corrupted, which can happen in power outages.

• Fixed Ship Tab and Cryo Tab achievements being awarded too early.

• Optimised saving for better performance.

• Fixed a bug where the captive sun would show through onto the victory panel.

NOTE: to those who are affected by a corrupted save file/ new game bug, you may need to delete your save file if it's still not working. You can find it in your windows user folder then:

/AppData/LocalLow/Adam Travers/Feed the Reactor/feedthereactor.txt

Thanks for your patience with this issue! Please let me know if its still not working for you.

Thank you for Feeding the Reactor!!!!

WHAT'S NEW?

PERFORMANCE

• Enhancements for lag when using Reproduction Helix.

• Improved performance during cryo-dreaming minigame.

• Improved Core orbiters performance with many Cores.

• Added limits to some visual effects to prevent during late-game.

BALANCE

• Explosive Fuel now deal Igniter damage. This should prevent them completely taking over the game while still allowing viable chain-reaction strategies.

• Pollination upgrades are stronger.

• 'Fast Glass' item is weaker.

BUG FIX

• Enrichment now updates properly when the Ship Enricher Upgrade is purchased/removed.

• Fixed text error on the progenitor chat and the victory panel.

• Fixed Core orbiters randomly resizing.

Massive thanks to everyone who has picked up the game and played! I'm still in shock at the response.

Extra massive thanks to those who let me know about bugs and issues, I super appreciate it. I'll be doing my best to patch up remaining bugs and issues over the coming days. Thanks for your patience!

Cheers!

• Improved the Fuel boost Pump. When active it now also increases total Material by 30%.

• Energy is now generated when fuel is damaged, not only when it is destroyed. this should make for smoother and more responsive energy output

• Increased the fuel-per-second calculation time to stop the bar jumping around so much.

• BUG: Fixed the descriptions on Rad buff, enrich buff and heater buff upgrades to have enough decimal places to show the next upgrade amount.

• BUG: Fixed wishlist button going to discord page.
