Void Scrappers news & patch notes

On the 27th of July we pushed a tiny update to fix the Bore Blasters button on the main menu. Due to engine updates this also had the unintended consequence of disabling gamepad controls. When we were notified of this, we reverted the build. On the 28th of July we have pushed a build that fixes the button without impacting gamepad controls. If there are any issues, please report in the discussions section. Thanks to those that reported the issue in the first place, and apologies for the inconvenience!

Display number of scrap ups achieved in HUD Display health when offered the “Restore Shield” upgrade To avoid confusion, “Restore Shield” is now capped so that x2 or x3 is not offered when it would heal more than the damage taken Fixed: When selecting weapons with mouse, if the cursor is not moved after clicking reroll once, trying to click a second time will select the card in the center instead of reroll Attempt to detect when stat descriptions exceed card space to ensure descriptions are readable (primarily impacted German translation)

Fixed bug causing asteroids to spawn every threat level (sorry)

Added support for PlayStation controllers Made asteroids stand out more visually

New in-game event: Asteroid fields can periodically appear! Added background grid (can be toggled in settings) Fixed cloud looping on 21:9 resolutions

Updated backgrounds to reduce motion sickness Added outline to currently selected upgrade/weapon Fixed clipping issue in unlock display on game over screen Changed layout of language confirmation screen

The weapon controller system has been completely overhauled. This should mean the following benefits: * Weapon icons in the bottom left of the game UI should no longer disappear and reappear at random * The icons should always remain in the same order * Weapon cooldowns should be more predictable Since this is a major update, it will be pushed to the experimental branch before being made live for everyone. If you are playing on the experimental branch, please let me know as soon as possible if you notice any issues.

New skill implemented - damage boost on full shields. Unlock it now! Tweaked engine resource limits, to better handle extreme runs (threat >50)

Upgrade banishing feature implemented. Purchase banish credits in Permanent Upgrades. Note that you can mark an upgrade for banishing and still pick it - that way you get it once. Fixed “double damage” achievement sometimes not unlocking. There was a discrepancy where reaching >=40 threat level triggers the Steam achievement, but >40 threat level was required to unlock the upgrade. The unlock requirement has now been updated to match the Steam achievement, i.e. >=40. This will not apply retrospectively.

Upgrade banishing is almost here! Version 1.13 has been added to the experimental branch, which contains upgrade banishing functionality. It needs testing before it can be rolled out to the default branch. You can purchase banish credits in Permanent Upgrades. They cost 50 credits each and are capped at 25 per run.
