Pandora's Toybox news & patch notes

Hello, Creators!

I’m BetaCat. Thank you for your continued support and feedback for "Pandora’s Toybox"!

Today I’d like to explain that after this update goes live, I will temporarily stop releasing frequent small hotfixes. Future updates will require more effort for content preparation and system polishing, which is a relatively large workload for me personally. So they won’t be pushed out as quickly as before. The next update is expected to take a few weeks to prepare, but it will bring richer content and a more refined experience.

Thank you for your support and patience. I’ll work hard to bring you better content.

This update includes:

• Fixed an issue where militia camps would conflict with each other during construction

• Differentiate health bar colors for friendly and enemy units

• Fixed an issue where soldiers would lose the Workshop after becoming a squad leader

If you encounter any bugs while playing, or have any suggestions for improvement, you’re still welcome to share feedback at any time. I’ll continue collecting it and address it together in future versions. You’re also welcome to join our official discussion community, where you can discuss the game with other players.
