New update: Sorokyne Strata, paradropping, flare gun, fire sentries

Sorokyne Strata

By Tunguso4ka, fixes by noctyrnal

Sorokyne Strata, the last map left to be ported, is being added! You might have seen it in the one round that was accidentally played on it.

See below for a screenshot of the map.

Paradropping

By Dygon

Paradropping is being added!

Remember to put the parachute in your backpack slot before jumping out of the dropship, not your hands, or you will die.

Dropship fabricators can now print the "HPU-1 paradrop deployment system", installing this module in a dropship allows it to open it's doors mid-flight after selecting a viable paradrop target. Players that walk out of a dropship that is mid-flight while a target is selected will land near it.

Requisitions vendors now stock parachutes, having a parachute equipped will prevent you from falling to your death if you walk off a dropship mid-flight. If no target is selected by the pilot when you fall out you will paradrop to a random location.

Other dropship changes:

• Throwing a crate out of the dropship will now make it land near the location targeted by the pilot, by Dygon.

• A dropship flyby can now be canceled, reducing the flight duration to 10 seconds, by Dygon.

• Launching a dropship does not automatically close the navigation computer UI anymore, by Dygon.

Flare gun

By Dygon

The flare gun is now available in the prep room and at requisitions. Its built-in scope allows you to launch flares much farther than you could throw them by hand. Flare guns can also be used to illuminate an area or mark a CAS target by firing flares into the sky, without leaving one on the ground. However, flares launched into the air are dimmer and burn for a shorter duration.

Fire sentries

By Magicocity1

This adds three sentries, the assault sentry flamer, the flamer mini sentry, and the plasma sentry, for combat technicians.

Other combat technician changes:

• Fixed Combat Technician Engineering skill being 1 level too low (2 > 3), by Dygon.

Early Queen building changes

By Vixting

Queen can now order construction in queen eye mode, and has thick resin, no plasma cost, remote thicken, and reduced build time for first 30 minutes of the round.

Other changes:

• Added ghost previews for resin structures & when ordering construction, by Vixting. (They are also working on a PR for marine construction in a future update)

• Xenonids can now choose to track the queen, a hive leader or a tunnel by right clicking their hive tracker, by Dygon.

Area alerts,

By DoguhanOzgurAkca and SigmaTheDragon

There is now an alert on the right-side of the screen that shows you whether or not the area that you are in allows supply drops, medevacs, CAS, OB, etc.

Mousing over it will tell you, but it also changes icon depending on these factors.

Both marines and xenos get this alert.

The area name from the tacmap alert has also been moved to this new alert.

Tactical map changes

By Vixting

Added:

• Tactical map dynamical resize, zoom in and out with the scroll wheel, panning around with right click.

• Queen in Queen eye can click anywhere on the tacmap to jump to that location.

Barricade changes

By Dygon

Barricades have had their ability to block attacks from the front ported:

• Attempting to attack or tackle over a barricade from the front now has a chance to make you attack the barricade instead. The chance of this occurring ranges from 100% to 30%, depending on the barricade's current health.

• Trying to leap or pounce over a barbed barricade will now stun you.

• All leaps now ignore barricades without barbed wire.

Medical changes

Work is being done on a system for custom chems. So far, Neogenetic, Anticorrosive, Antitoxic and Oxygenating are implemented.

Chemicals now have their OD and critical OD listed on the guidebook. For now, this only matters for medicines that are using the new system (basic ones, mera, and derma).

This shouldn't change anything gameplay wise yet, if it does, report any bugs you find in ⁠the bugs channel.

This also changes how some medicines are explained on the guidebook.

New xenonid tunnel UI

By Vixting

Added a new tunnel UI that shows you where each tunnel is on a map when selected.

The map on the new UI also lets you directly click on a tunnel to select it.

Construction skill

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

This is the last skill that was tracked as unfinished on the roadmap, aside from vehicles.

This change reworks the construction system, letting you press Z with a material inhand to open a new menu.

The G menu for construction still works for those that prefer it, with the added construction skill requirements that some objects now have.

As a Combat Technician (Construction skill 2), you are able to build everything except for machine frames.

Examples of objects requiring the construction skill level 2 that comtechs have are the folding metal barricade and folding plasteel barricades, but not regular barricades, which require construction skill 1 instead.

The engineer instructional pamphlet that squad roles (including Riflemen) can buy for points gives you Construction 1 and Engineer 1, which allows the construction of regular barricades, but not foldings. Req also starts with a free 1 at base scaling.

Combat Technicians do not need to use the pamphlet.

You will now also be restricted to building objects one at a time, and only on the tile you're currently on.

This also fixes not being able to barb multiple barricades at once.

Other Changes

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

FORECON survivors are here! These are exclusive to Chance's Claim and can be chosen separately in your job preferences (Customize > Jobs).

This includes the FORECON CO survivor, which is only playable by whitelisted COs.

This change also fixes civilian survivors not spawning with primary weapons.

These can be bought in Rec-Vends. One is next to the outer eastern wall of lower medbay, left of briefing.

Tapes can be inserted into a player, and the player itself worn in either one of your ear slots.

Each cassette is named after the artist who created the tracks that it contains.

There is one additional cassette, the custom cassette, that allows you to listen to any song file on your computer in ogg format.

Cassette songs can only be heard by the person that is wearing the cassette player, and they add a small visual effect around your head to show that you are listening to one.

New update: Charger Crusher, Berserker Ravager

Charger Crusher

Sprites by Alekshh and Sigma Draconis

This was the winner of the last Patreon feature priority poll.

The Charger is a Crusher strain that loses defensive shield, some armor, and some damage in exchange for charge being momentum-based. The further you go, the more damage and speed you will gain up to a maximum, indicated by your roar. Your armor also becomes directional, strongest on the front, but you can no longer lock the direction that you are facing.

It loses:

• Its defensive shield ability.

• A little bit of its armor and damage.

• Its slowdown resist from turrets.

• Its influence under frenzy pheromones.

• Its stomp no longer knocking down talls.

• Its ability to lock its direction.

It gains:

• A considerable amount of health.

• Some speed.

• Its stomp does extra damage when stomping over a grounded tall.

• Its charge is now manually-controlled and momentum-based; the further it goes, the more damage and speed it will gain until it achieves maximum momentum, indicated by its roar.

• Its armor is now directional, being the toughest on the front, weaker on the sides, and weakest from the back.

• It gains an ability to tumble to pass through enemies.

• It gains an ability to forcefully move enemies via ramming into them.

This also changes the xenonid armor alert on the right to display side armor separately for xenonids that have it, such as the Steelcrest Defender.

Berserker Ravager

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

Berserker is a new strain which turns the ravager into a terrifying melee monster. They can build up rage which increases their attack speed, movement speed, and allows them to heal while slashing.

It loses:

• Its empower, charge, and scissor cut.

• Some health.

• A bit of its influence under frenzy pheromones.

It gains:

• Movement speed, a slight increase in armor, and gain a new set of abilities that make it a terrifying melee monster.

• The ability to heal when it slashes and gain a stack of rage that increases its armor, movement speed, and it heals per slash, to a maximum of six rage.

• Apprehend to increase its movement speed and apply a slow on the next target it slashes.

• Eviscerate to unleash a devastating windmill attack that heals it for every enemy it hits after an immobilizing wind-up.

• Clothesline to fling its target to heal yourself, even more-so if it has a rage stack that will be used up.

Storage draw methods

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

You can now toggle storage like pouches and armor to either eject the first item, the last item, or open the storage when you click on it.

This toggle can be accessed with a verb in the right click menu.

CQC skill

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

Close quarter combat skill is now implemented. It allows you to do aggressive grabs faster, do extra unarmed damage, lets you disarm/tackle other marines better, and decreases inventory strip times.

Health analyzer tips

By Vermidia

The health analyzer will now give you medical advice on how to treat specific kinds of damage. This also fixes health analyzers not showing clone damage when it's present.

Holocard sprites have been updated as well to be more distinct.

Medical and welding visors

By Verm

These are point-buyable for most squad roles and usable without any skills.

The technician helmet no longer inherently protects your eyes from welding, instead it comes with an integrated welding visor.

The corpsman helmet no longer inherently gives its placeholder medical HUD, instead it comes with an integrated visor that gives you a medical HUD.

This means don't ask the QM for a medic helmet. If you are not a corpsman, you will need to slot a medical visor into your helmet.

This also adds the M10 welding helmet, combat technicians can now choose between it and the technician helmet, as well as the squad optic, integrated into most marine helmets, and only activatable if you have nothing else to show marine icons.

The M11C, M30, M10 pattern officer now have integrated visors, and the M12 and XM12 now correctly have an additional visor slot.

The NV optic not glowing slightly when on is also fixed.

Deafness

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

Certain loud noises will prevent you from hearing chat and sounds.

This also fixes high levels of neurotoxin not deafening, by Vermidia

New update: Mob collision, Queen eye, Vampire lurker, Eggsac Carrier, M13 pistol

Mob Collision Mob collision is being added and tweaked this update! This also adds a Shift+R keybind to rest for marines, and resting for xe

Mob Collision

Mob collision is being added and tweaked this update!

This also adds a Shift+R keybind to rest for marines, and resting for xenos disabling collision.

Sitting down, being in crit, and being dead will also turn off your collision.

Pulling someone will allow you to move through them as well.

Big xenos cannot be pushed by smaller ones, while the Queen will push aside and stun any xeno that she moves over.

Hive leader xenos can also tackle other xenos in one hit if they are blocking the way.

The Dancer Praetorian's Dodge ability now has its intended effect of disabling mob collision for its duration, and Lurker invisibility also correctly disables if they bump into a marine.

Make sure you adjust how you build folding barricades and resin doors accordingly, as a horde of marines and xenos can no longer fit through a 1 tile gap as easily anymore.

This also ports wide attacks being a single-target thrust attack for both marines and xenos instead, limited to 1 target.

Your player sprite will also be layered under other mobs so that you can both melee attack and PB someone who is clipping into your sprite more easily.

Queen Eye

The Queen can enter this mode while in ovi, letting her move around and see anywhere that has weeds remotely.

She can also use her AOE heal, and build remotely, while in this mode.

This change also adds xeno late join from the lobby, without having to observe first and forfeiting being able to play the round.

Vampire Lurker

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

The vampire lurker is a new strain that turns Lurker into a silent assassin, with abilities that can heal itself.

It lose all of its abilities and forfeits a chunk of its health and damage in exchange for a large amount of armor, a little bit of movement speed, increased attack speed, and brand new abilities that make it an assassin.

It gains the ability to:

• Rush on an opponent to disorient them.

• Flurry to unleash a forward cleave that can hit and slow three talls and heal it for every tall it hits.

• A special AoE Tail Jab to knock talls away, doing more damage with direct hits and even more damage and a stun if they smack into walls.

• Execute unconscious talls with a headbite to heal its wounds.

Eggsac Carrier

By Vermidia

The eggsac carrier trades its ability to store parasites and make resin traps for stronger pheromones, more egg storage, and the ability to produce eggs.

It gains the ability to:

• Place eggs from slightly farther away.

• Put eggs on non-hive weeds. It can have 4 sustained this way at once, and they will last awhile while it is near and not long if it is far.

• Sustained Eggs will convert into normal eggs upon touching hive weeds, and cannot produce sentient parasites.

• Use plasma over time to make eggs.

Other parasite changes:

• Fixed player parasites having 1 sec too short leap time (1 > 2 seconds), by Vermidia.

• AI parasites now instant leap, but only try to leap every 5 seconds while active, by Vermidia.

• Fixed eggs not becoming fragile eggs off weeds, by Vermidia.

M13 automatic pistol

By Magicocity1

A new sidearm has been added: the M13 automatic pistol.

This also adds an M276 belt variant for it, and magazine boxes for the M13. The brighter the trim the greater the magazine capacity!

Armor vests

By Whisper

Already uploaded to the server

Added the armor vest to MP, IO, and Corpsmen equipment vendors.

It has no movement speed modifier, minimal armor, and no armor light.

It does not protect against sentinel slowing spit stuns, and comes with two storage slots.

Hazard vests and jackets can no longer hold items in the suit storage slot. Armor or armored vests must be used instead.

Survivors retain the ability to put items in the suit storage slot regardless of it being restricted.

Tesla Coil Sentry

By metalsage

The tesla coil sentry is here! It slows, stuns, and dazes nearby xenos periodically. It is an alternative to the regular sentry for combat technicians.

Feature Priority Poll: Next Xenonid strain

A few things to note:

• These alternate between community-wide and Patreon-only.

• All of these will eventually be implemented (this is not a Minecraft mob vote), but the winner will be implemented first.

• The poll will run for 72 hours, after which Whisper and I will focus on implementing it.

• If, for any reason, the winner of one of these kinds of polls needs to get delayed, the vote will be remade.

• Other contributors are free to contribute any or none of these things. This is just what Whisper and I will focus on.

• Polls will typically have all marine options or all xenonid options, so as not to force people to choose between the two sides. They will alternate as well to ensure that both stay balanced.

• As we continue development, there are now fewer options to choose from for these polls (roadmap below).

• In the near future these polls will be replaced with previews into what is being developed next, posted on both Patreon and the Patreon discord channel.

Eggsac Carrier:

• It loses the ability to store parasites and place traps.

• It gains larger plasma stores, stronger pheromones, and the ability to lay eggs using plasma.

• It can also place small numbers of fragile eggs on normal weeds. These eggs have a lifetime of five minutes while you are within 14 tiles, or one minute outside.

Vampire Lurker:

• It loses all base Lurker abilities, some health, and some damage.

• It gains armor, movement speed, attack speed, and new abilities.

• Rush: 4 tile-range pounce that shakes the target's screen but does not stun them.

• Flurry: An attack that hits targets in a 3 tile wide range in front of you and heals you.

• Tail Jab: An attack that deals damage and knocks the target back.

• Headbite: Executes unconscious talls to heal your wounds.

Charger Crusher:

• It loses its defensive shield, some armor, damage, influence under frenzy pheromones, stomp no longer knocks down stalls, and you cannot lock your direction.

• It gains health, speed, and extra stomp damage.

• Your charge is now manually controlled and momentum-based. The further you go, the more damage and speed you will gain.

• Your armor becomes directional, strongest at the front and weakest on the back.

• It also gains the ability to tumble and headbutt a target.

Trapper Boiler:

• It loses bombard, spray acid, and acid shroud.

• It gains longer-range vision and can set up traps to immobilize your opponents,

• It can use acid shotgun to blast a target in close range with acid spits.

• It can place acid mines, which deal damage to enemies and barricades.

Berserker Ravager: 

• It loses empower, charge, scissor cut, some health, and some influence under frenzy pheromones.

• It gains stacks of rage and heals when attacking a target. Rage increases your armor, movement speed, attack speed, and heals per slash. It can also use:

  • Apprehend to gain a speed buff and super-slow the next target you hit.

  • Clothesline to heal and deal damage with a fling.

  • Eviscerate to start a wind-up while immobile, which deals damage all around you.

Hedgehog Ravager:

• It loses empower, charge, scissor cut, and some slash damage in exchange for more explosive resistance.

• It gains the ability to gain shards over time and when receiving damage.

• These shards can be used to empower three abilities:

  • Spike shield, which grants a temporary shield that sprays bone shards around you when damaged.

  • Fire spikes, which launches spikes in a direction, slowing the target.

  • Spike shed, which sheds all of your shards to launch them all around you.

New update: Survivor jobs, tactical map fixes

Small update with fixes to try to exorcise the demons from the tactical map

Survivor Jobs

Survivors are no longer all homeless civilians with AR10s.

They have also been renamed from survivor to colonist to prevent questions about how the ID printer knew that they were going to be survivors one day.

Four survivor jobs have been added:

• The engineer colonist, which starts with better construction and engineer skills, and gets a tool belt if they do not get a primary weapon.

• The doctor colonist, which starts with medical and surgery skill and can randomly start with more medical equipment.

• The security colonist, which starts with better melee weapons, fireman, and cqc skills, and can randomly start with better primary weapons.

• The corporate colonist, which starts with WeYa radio access.

Custom survivor briefings have been added, informing you about your in-character situation. These will change per survivor variant in the future, when more survivor variants are added.

This also fixes corporate liaison corpses on the planet having an ID title of "Corporate Liaison" instead of "Corporate Colonist".

This change also removes the temporary access that was granted to all survivors for the tool storage machine. Public colony access is no longer sufficient, you will need colony engineering access as a survivor to access one.

They can still be hacked with a multitool by anyone with 2 engineering skill.

This also fixes planetside booze-o-mats content amounts scaling with server population, and slowly restocking with latejoins.

Primary weapons now include the Basira-Armstrong hunting rifle, the HG 37-12 pump shotgun, and the AR10, instead of just the AR10.

Secondary weapons now also include the CMB spearhead revolver.

New update: Dropship weapons and engine attachments, Correspondent televisions, AMR and aimed shot, flags

Dropship LAU-444 guided missile launcher, LWU-6B laser cannon, fuel enhancer, and cooling system

More CAS weapons are finally here! Including ones that you actually have to fear, as both a xeno and marine, and bringing the rivalry of the Normandy getting angry at the Alamo if they print too many weapons or modules with the limited amount of points that the part fabricator gets without intel.

The LAU-444 guided missile launcher (which can only be shot in fly-bys, not in transit) fires expensive single-shot but very dangerous rockets, currently having 3 options:

• The AIM-224B 'Widowmaker', with a large blast radius and a 3 second travel time. It costs 300 points to print.

• The GBU-67 'Keeper II', with a small but concentrated blast radius and a 2 second travel time. It costs 300 points to print.

• The AGM-99 'Napalm', with a large blast radius, spawning fire in a 7x7 radius second travel time and a 6 second travel time. It costs 500 points to print.

All rockets have a 3 tile inaccuracy.

The LWU-6B laser cannon (which can be shot in both fly-bys and transit) randomly covers a 7x7 area with 16 total fires with very point-efficient ammo.

• These fires have a very short duration but very high intensity.

• It can be shot 10 total times before having to reload.

• Its ammo costs 200 points to print.

• It has 1 second travel time, the shortest of any CAS weapon.

• It has a 1 tile inaccuracy.

 The fuel enhancer and cooling system have also been added, which can be attached to the engine attachment points (south of the wing weapon points).

The fuel enhancer reduces travel time by 25% and increases flyby time by 25%, and the cooling system reduces refuel time by 50% (both stack with diminishing returns).

Piloting skill 2 (Dropship/Gunship pilots and ASO) now also correctly reduces dropship refuel time by 25% (120s > 90s)

Buildable televisions and Correspondent camera broadcast

Televisions can now be built using a television circuit board, which will give a live view of the Correspondents' camera.

Four circuit boards can be found in the circuit board vendor, now mapped into first floor engineering.

This update also makes a few tweaks to construction, deconstruction, and general engineering:

• Fixed CE, MT, and OT armor not having extra bio and explosion armor.

• Fixed windows taking 4 seconds to deconstruct instead of being instant, and missing 1 screwing step (Screwdriver, Wrench, Screwdriver).

• Fixed some crates not droppping 2 wooden planks when crowbared.

• Fixed not being able to craft wooden floors with wooden planks.

• Fixed reinforced tables missing a welding step for deconstruction.

• Fixed tool sounds not playing for instant construction steps.

• Fixed lathes not using the item's size for how long it takes to print. It now takes 2 seconds for tiny and small items, 3 for medium, 4 for large, and 5 for huge.

• Fixed lathes not having a max print cap of 6.

• Fixed autolathes being unanchorable and moved.

• Fixed OB fuel being covered up by racks.

• Fixed gun cases not being able to be unfolded into 1 plastic.

• Fixed the tool storage machine not having light replacers and having incorrect amounts of other tools.

• Fixed crowbars prying tiles not being instant.

• Fixed metal floor tiles, table parts, rack parts, and metal rods not being able to be inserted into an autolathe to recycle them into metal.

• Fixed reinforced tables taking 4 metal to print instead of 5.

Shotgun fixes, interact with other hand keybind, and click to eject magazines

The spread of multiple shotgun ammo types has been fixed:

• Fixed flechette spread being 2.5x higher than intended.

• Fixed buckshot spread being 1.33x higher than intended.

• Fixed breaching spread being 2x higher than intended.

• Fixed incendiary buckshot spread being 1.33x higher than intended.

 The MOU53 now also has its correct firerate, which is 2 times higher than its current firerate (2 > 4).

There is also now a keybind for interact with other hand, bound to C by default. This lets you quickly insert shells into a shotgun on your other hand, and do other hand interactions such as transferring reagents between containers.

Clicking on a gun held on your hand with another empty hand will now also eject its magazine if it has one inside, instead of moving it to the other hand. Pressing C with your empty hand selected will also do the same.

This also fixes being able to juggle pump shotguns to bypass their shared fire delay. This doesn't affect the underbarrel shotgun or the MOU53.

Specialist Sniper aimed shot and new AMR specialist kit

By Dygon Sniper specialist changes:

• Their rifle can now be used to perform aimed shots, projectiles fired with an aimed shot will have additional effects. The bullet fired by it will chase its target to ensure that it hits. Sniper ammo no longer has its placeholder 2x damage modifier.

• Their loadouts now also include a spotter kit, which contains the gear needed to transform any rifleman into a fully-fledged spotter.

• Flak ammo has been implemented, which deals 55 damage against the hit target, 55 (110 for xenonids) to entities in a 1 tile radius, and half of that to any entities in a 2 tile radius.

• Flak's aimed shot does either the basic effect if it hits any entity that's not the target, or deals 110 damage and superslows the target.

• Incendiary ammo now does 60 damage and has double the fire intensity compared to what it had before this PR.

• Incendiary's aimed shot gives the hit target an additional 10 firestacks and slightly blurs their screen for a few seconds.

• All projectiles shot using aimed shot are homing.

• Aimed shot has a base aim time of 1.25 seconds, this is increased by 0.05 seconds per tile of distance to the target.

• Aimed shot has a cooldown of 2.5 seconds, this cooldown starts the moment you start aiming. If the sniper laser is turned on, the aim time is multiplied by 0.6; if the target is spotted, the aim time is multiplied by 0.5; and if both, the aim time is multiplied by 0.35.

 This update includes a new type of specialist: the heavy sniper weapons specialist.

• They get the XM43E1 anti-materiel rifle from their vendor. This rifle fires projectiles powerful enough to penetrate any obstacle in its path.

• Marksman ammo's normal shot deals 125 damage with 75 AP.

• Ammo penetrates entities,damage and range is reduced with every entity hit:

  • Any soft target the same size or smaller than a T2 xenonid multiplies the projectile damage by 0.8 and reduces the range by 3 tiles per hit.

  • T3 xenonids multiply the projectile damage by 0.6 and reduce the range by 6 tiles per hit.

  • Walls and other obstacles multiply the projectile damage by 0.4 and reduce the range by 9 tiles per hit.

• An aimed shot using the XM43E1 will get a different effect based on what type of target is hit on top of the base projectile damage:

  • Anything smaller than a T1 xenonid will take 80% of the original damage as additional damage.

  • Anything the size of a T1 xenonid will take 60% of the original damage dealt and 10% of their current health as additional damage.

  • Anything the size of a T2 xenonid will take 20% of the original damage and 20% of their current health as additional damage.

  • Anything the size of a T3 xenonid will take no bonus damage from the projectile, but will take 30% of their current health as bonus damage.

  • Anything the size of a T3 xenonid will take no bonus damage from the projectile, but will take 30% of their current health as bonus damage.

  • All bonus damage will be multiplied by 0.5 on the first shot, 0.75 on the second shot on the same target and 1.0(so no reduction) on the third shot on the same target. Using an aimed shot on a different target will reset this streak.

• All projectiles shot using aimed shot are homing.

• Aimed shot has a base aim time of 2 seconds, this is increased by 0.05 seconds per tile of distance to the target.

• Aimed shot has a cooldown of 4.5 seconds, this cooldown starts the moment you start aiming.

Plantable UN and UNMC flags

These are located in the top and bottom CIC armories, can be carried into battle, and planted with Z.

SL/Command/Hive Leader message visibility

By to4no_fix

Squad and hive leaders speech in chat bubbles is now bold and significantly larger for better visibility. All heads of department headsets, SLs, and officers significantly increase the size of text in the radio, the headset of the fireteam leader also increases the text, but slightly less.

Dragging changes

The last of the tackle/dragging mechanics have been ported, making it so:

• Xenos can now drag a stage 2 infected marine, even if they are dead (by Verm).

• If a crit marine is dragged by a xeno, they will quickly take damage until they die, stopping the pull.

A bug where it would flicker until reconnect has also been fixed, and it can now be shrunk to be shorter than the default height that it starts at.

The live tactical map view for CIC, and xenos while the Queen is in ovi, now refreshes twice as often, every 0.5 seconds.

Multi channel radio broadcast and radio changes

New update: Tacmap area labels, M79 launcher, Foxtrot, Oppressor Praetorian, Hive structures

Tactical map area labels

The tactical map will now show you the names of some commonly-used areas directly on it, without having to open up a browser window to see them.

These can be disabled with a checkbox.

Alongside this, the rangefinder will now tell you if a set of coordinates can be supply dropped, mortared, CAS'd or OB'd.

M79 grenade launcher

By Dygon

The M79 grenade launcher is now in! It is available for points to every rifleman. It (currently) has 5 grenade types:

• M74 AGM-F 40mm Grenade, which disperses jagged shrapnel in a cone in front of itself. It suffers from overpenetration on a direct hit.

• M74 AGM-S 40mm Grenade, which spreads a smoke cloud.

• M74 AGM-H 40mm Hornet Shell, which shoots off holo-targeting .22lr rounds, the equivalent to buckshot at range.

• M74 AGM-S Star Shell, which bursts into burning phosphor that illuminates the area.

• HIRR Baton Slug, which stuns, slows, and knockbacks the target that it impacts directly.

 All of these can be bought for points, and Requisitions starts with a few of each type. A few as in, around 4-5 of each scaling with pop (except for 8 HIRR and 2 star shells), please do not ask me for 30 in the line.

Foxtrot Squad

By Ian321

Tier 3 intel unlockables have been added:

• Wake up additional troops, which will spawn 1 SL (or FTL after the first purchase), 1 combat technician, 1 hospital corpsman and 2 riflemen. This costs 6 points, and raises in cost by 6 points for every time that it is bought.

• Wake up additional specialist, which spawns an additional specialist. This costs 8 points and cannot be purchased multiple times.

 Both of these can be taken by ghosts that are currently observing, in the form of ghost roles. An announcement is sent in chat when they are unlocked, for marines and ghosts to see.

Mortar changes

Couple of mortar fixes and some tweaks:

• Fixed HE mortar shells doing 20% less damage than intended to humanoids and xenos.

• Fixed HE mortar explosions getting completely eaten by a single 3000 health planet wall, if it lands on top of an intact one.

• Fixed mortar random fire offset being -1,0,1 instead of -1,0,0,1, making it more likely that it will not be offset at all with each shell.

• Fixed mortars having infinite range. They now have a min range of 25, and max range of 75. Req also now starts with a kit for the mortar instead, which comes with mortar operator pamphlets, by Verm.

• Fixed Incindiary mortar shells exploding on impact. They only create fire now, by Verm.

• Mortar Shells are now cheaper to buy from req, you can no longer get them from ASRS random crates, by Verm.

Oppressor Praetorian strain

By Verm, sprites by Alekshhh

The fifth and last Praetorian strain has been added! It focuses on pulling in and pushing away foes.

Warding Pheromones

By Verm Warding pheromones now actually do something useful: extend your crit grace period as a xenonid. At the moment there is no base critical grace period for xenos, but warding will make it so that xenos in crit can keep moving around for a couple of seconds. Non-lesser warding pheromones add a second or two of grace period. Other changes, also by Verm:

• Fixed warding giving twice as much crit health as it should have.

• Fixed warding not slowing bleedout off weeds, and not healing crit xenos slightly on weeds.

• Fixed xenos bleeding out while on fire (they only take the fire damage, not bleedout damage).

• Fixed warding not persisting in crit on weeds even when there's no producers.

• Fixed frenzy being a flat 10% melee damage multiplier. It's now +2 damage per level, and properly adds to tailstab damage.

Hive Structures

By blueDev2

Some remaining hive structures have been added:

• The hive cluster, a hive limited structure that spreads hive weeds around it.

• The eggmorpher, a hive limited structure that requires hive weeds and passively creates parasites, passively storing a maximum of 6. It generates 1 parasite every 120 seconds, or 60 seconds while the Queen is in ovi.

• The recovery node, a hive limited structure that requires hive weeds and slowly heals a single nearby xeno.

This also ports the change that xeno eggs must now be planted on hive weeds, alongside marines now needing to be nested on weed walls that are created from hive weeds, or on resin walls with hive weeds under them.

M5 Camera Gear

By SubjectD9341, PursuitInAshes

The M5 camera gear has been added, an alternative to helmets that still allows overwatch to be able to watch the marine, if they have equipped the camera gear from the uniform surplus vendor.

Note that this does not change the SOP requirements for roles that are required to wear helmets.

Commanding Officer Honor Guard Kits

By J C Denton

The top CIC armory now contains a secure box, locked to the Commanding Officer, which contains 2 honor guard kits.

These contain an M890 tactical shotgun, some pills, buckshot, and in the future, a tracker pointing to the CO.

This update also adds the Commanding Officer's D50 Winter Wyvern pistol, by IceStormTheDragon, RyanStrudfelt, Dygon, Boaz1111.

The CO does not spawn with a mateba belt anymore, and needs to get it from their vendor, being able to choose between it and the new D50 Winter Wyvern belt.

Chem master changes

Some quality of life changes and fixes:

• Fixed the pressurized chemical dispenser sharing energy with medbay.

• Fixed the chem master not having a max cap of 500 units.

• Fixed chemicals not mixing in the chem master.

• Made the selected color and dosage not get reset when you close the UI, by Ian321.

• Fixed the initial pill count being twice the usually intended amount, by Ian321.

• Fixed chemicals being dumpable onto the chem master by sprite dragging onto it, by Skarletto.

This update also adds a right click verb to medic and ez injectors that empties them of chemicals, and maps the janitorial buckets into the Almayer, which are a container with a capacity of 500 units.

Tackle fixes

Getting knocked down now correctly resets all tackle stacks on a humanoid.

This makes it so any kind of stun that knocks you down resets all current tackle stacks on you, giving you more time before you are tackled down again.

This includes Runner leaps, and short-range Queen screeches.

This also fixes shaking with left click not removing tackle stacks if not fully tackled.

Another big change: being able to return to your body if you ghost while nested, and you later get unnested.

You will get a big message in chat if this happens, and the button at the bottom will re-enable.

New update: Flamer, Hybrisa, Ravager, Valkyrie Praetorian, Nightmare inserts, Cluster OB

Flamer

The flamer is now here! This includes:

• The M34 incinerator unit, which can be bought by Combat Technicians and Squad Leaders for points. Requisitions starts with 2 (scaling with pop).

• The underbarrel mini flamethrower attachment which contains 40 units of UT-Napthal. It can be attached to some guns such as the pump shotgun, and the M54C MK2 (but not the MK1).

  • The mini flamethrower can be obtained in the squad attachments vendor, which is refueled by clicking with it on a flamer tank, or on a welding tank when emptied of UT-Napthal.

• The incinerator tank, holding 100 units of UT-Napthal, which the M34 incinerator unit uses as a magazine. The mini flamethrower does not require a flamer tank and stores its own fuel.

  • They can be refilled with a G4-1 fueltank backpack.

  • Comtechs and SLs can buy more, and the automated munition squad vendor starts with 3 (scaling with pop).

  • These are included in the random free ARES crates that Requisitions can get.

• The G4-1 fueltank backpack, which contains 350 units of UT-Napthal, and can carry 3 flamer tanks, refilling them when inserted.

  • Requisitions starts with 2 (scaling with pop) and Squad Leaders can get one in their pyrotechnician support kit.

• The underbarrel fire extinguisher attachment, which can be used to put out fires and refilled with a water tank.

• The fuel tank strap pouch, which is cheaper than a large general pouch and holds any combination of 2 flamer tanks and fire extinguishers.

Welding fuel also works as a substitute for UT-Napthal, dealing less damage, but you will need to empty out an incinerator tank, mini flamethrower, or fueltank backpack before adding welding fuel, as you cannot mix multiple chemicals at the same time.

More flamer fuel types and the pyro weapons specialist will be added in the future.

This change also fixes standing still in a fire not reigniting you, and fire damage while standing on fire being half the intended amount.

Underbarrel extinguisher, underbarrel flamethrower, req crate, ares crate, SL/comtech flamers.

This also fixes Queen armor loss from being in green fire being too high (50% armor retained -> 70%), by Verm.

Hybrisa Prospera planet map

By noctis

Noctis has ported LV-759 Hybrisa Prospera, a new large urban-themed planet map originally made by Zenith, mikoka wei, Drathek, Nanu, Cuberound, Almings, Crowford, Blundir, and dimdimich1996.

Ravager

By Verm

The Ravager has been added, a T3 xenonid caste that evolves from lurker and focuses on empowering from foes and dishing out damage. It has 3 unique abilities:

• Empower, gaining a small amount of shield. After 6 seconds or using it again, you get empowered based on surrounding enemies (max 6), gaining shield from each. If you empowered from at least 3 targets, you become super-empowered, gaining additional damage on melee attacks, and changing how some of your other abilities work.

• Assault, charging towards a location and destroying some objects in your path. If empowered, it stuns and flings back the first enemy hit.

• Scissor cut, cutting enemies and fences in a straight line. If super-empowered, it slows enemies hit too.

 It also has the highest base damage of all xenonid castes (45), 25 armor, 80 explosion armor, fire damage immunity, and 750 health.

Valkyrie Praetorian strain

By Verm

This replaces the Warden Praetorian strain, focusing on frontline support. It has 4 unique abilities:

• Tail fountain: Extinguishes fire from a nearby ally or foe. Uses up your melee attack cooldown.

• Tantrum: Give an ally and yourself temporary armor for a few seconds, which lasts longer on you. Crushers and Ravagers get a speed boost instead.

• High gallop: Stuns foes in a 2x3 area in targeted direction, and slows them. Also flings back grenades, as Warriors used to do a very long time ago.

• Fight or flight: Remove ailments and stuns from all alies around you. The radius is larger if you have 75+ fury after paying the ability cost.

 It also keeps its Retrieve ability, pulling another xeno to itself.

Nightmare inserts

By CyberTropic

Nightmare inserts randomize small parts of every planet map each round, adding some variety to each round.

So far, Kutjevo (by CyberTropic) and Solaris (by Tunguso4ka) have had the most nightmare inserts ported, but more will be added in the future.

Cluster OB

The last type of orbital bombardment, cluster, is now here!

This OB fires 225 small explosions in around half a minute, bombarding an area repeatedly over its duration.

The two random warheads on the Almayer will now include this warhead, and more can be bought with intel points, same as the other two.

This also fixes HE orbital warheads not destroying xeno tunnels, by Ian321.

New update: Intel officer, fulton, plastic explosives, radio tuning, more ghost roles

Intel and the Intelligence Officer

Intel items spawn at random spots on the planet.

Paper scraps, progress reports, folders, and technical manuals are found with a data detector, read, and then stored in the Almayer's intel room for points.

Progress reports may require a paper scrap to be read first, and its data submitted to the Intel computer inside the Intel room; these clues are listed on the View Intel Objectives window available to all Intel-trained personnel.

Similarly, folders may require reading a progress report first, and technical manuals may require reading a folder first.

These items can't be destroyed by explosions or corrosive acid.

Other sources of intel are:

Dead xenos, which can be fultoned.

Perma-dead humanoid bodies from the colony (which can't be fultoned yet).

Rescuing live survivors onto the Almayer, after which they may re-deploy, and you will keep your points.

Restoring colony power.

Restoring colony communications.

Intel points can be exchanged for requisitions budget, dropship part fabricator budget, and additional explosive and incendiary warheads in CIC through the tech tree console.

Buying cluster warheads, foxtrot awakening, awakening an additional spec, and the ARC will all be added in a future update.

This update also brings the requisitions budget, dropship part fabricator budget, and starting amount and types of warheads to parity. Make sure you secure intel if you want to get more.

Intelligence Officers get their own equipment, gear, and weapon racks. Their XM4 armor has an integrated motion detector but does not allow webbing to be used alongside it and can only be worn with an intel officer uniform.

They are assigned to Intel squad by default, which can be overwatched normally. More marines may be transferred to it, and they may be given a field support intelligence kit by IOs.

Fultons are also added. These can be attached to crates and dead xenos and instantly picked up by a dropship with a fulton recovery system attached to its utility point.

Plastic explosives will also be live, letting you collapse xeno tunnels in less than three hours of constant shoveling.

These are similar to breaching charges but deal more damage around them, and can be attached to xeno tunnels to quickly collapse them, unlike regular breaching charges. They may also be attached to walls.

Some roles can buy these, and others like Scout specialist and Demolitionist specialist, get them for free.

The Demolitionist specialist now also gets their loader kit, with extra rockets. This kit can be given to another squad member, usually a rifleman, to help you load rockets faster.

Radio tuning

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

Headsets can now be right clicked to temporarily deactivate or activate specific radio channels.

This is specially useful for command roles that only want to pay attention to one or a few squads.

Some head-role headsets (CE, CMO, QM, CMP, IO) now correctly start with some channels disabled, so check if you want to enable them!

Alongside this, rotary phones now also send an emote to chat and popup when ringing, to catch your attention when QM Nyx Sparkdrawn is asking you for the seventh time to fire a supply drop.

Headsets have also had their iconic send-sound radio ported, played when someone speaks through one. It can only be heard by the sender, and anyone within 3.75 tiles of them.

Random M16/AR10 attachments

Two of the survivor guns planetside now start with their random attachments.

They each have a chance of starting with any attachments, at which point they are randomly chosen from all the valid ones.

This change also maps in nailguns, barrels, and plastic explosives to each planet map where appropriate.

Survivors have also had their missing fireman skill added.

Emergency Response Teams

As we move forward we will be porting more emergency response teams from 13. The ones included in these update are preset spawners for provost, the pizza deliverer, and freelancers (freelancers by Tunguso4ka).

Provost and the pizza deliverer have also had playtime trackers added, which should let you see how much time you have spent playing those roles, if spawned by an admin.

Work on this system will go towards making it possible to have foxtrot and additional specialist awakening with intel points, without keeping me up at night from how god awful ghost role code is.

Once it is more fleshed out, it will also make it easier for us to work on PvE events, which will run sessions on a second server directed by a game master.

CO/SEA Whitelist

CO and SEA whitelists will be opening soon once we are done processing the backlog.

Another announcement will be made once that is the case.

New update: Marine law, SOP, marine ranks, alert levels, nailguns, sticky and fast resins

Marine Law and Standard Operating Procedure

By Whisper

Marine law and SOP have been rewritten and added to the guidebook by Whisper! You won't need to have it open on your second monitor anymore.

The MP Update is ready and releasing!

it includes:

• Marine Law.

• Standard Operating Procedure.

• Fixed equipment for MP roles, including the pistol cases they were meant to be supplied with.

• The release of the RSH-9 Assault Revolver for the CMP.

• Role ranks, based on per role and some that increase with playtime. (Code by Dutch-VanDerLinde)

• Increased playtime requirement for important roles, guiding newer players into easier to understand roles.

Marine Law and SOP should have a noticeable impact on the strategy of the Marines, as they more clearly define the conditions and regulations regarding where personnel need to be and should be. Additionally, they allow for the creation of secure areas and field hospitals where certain shipside crew can be deployed to work.

Another key feature will be the allowance for MP personnel (with permission) to patrol these secure areas and protect non-combative shipside personnel while maintaining law and order in the area of operations.

SLs will have the authority and means to detain and transfer insubordinate squad members, civilians, and any third-party personnel to these secure areas, where MPs will take over and process them shipside, allowing the SL to continue operations without the need to return to the FOB.

This also reworks the entire ruleset, removing redundant rules and reorganizing them, as all command-level roles and MP personnel must follow marine law and SOP.

A quick one to notice, the note that only COs may approve executions has been removed and replaced with a procedure Commanders and CMPs must follow to approve them. (COs still retain the ability to battlefield execute and approve executions.)

I highly recommend reading both rules and law sections of the remade guidebook to ensure you don't miss anything new, as there are many changes. (You can also collapse guidebook sections to make it easier to navigate.)

The applications for whitelists will not be opening at this time, but they are now my primary focus and should not remain closed for much longer as I work on remaking the application process to fit with this update.

As a reminder, the Commanding Officer is a heavy roleplay position with many responsibilities, not simply a higher ranking executive officer role with perks. I would not recommend this position if you do not enjoy MP gameplay, roleplaying, or have not made an effort to learn marine law.

Commanding Officers are the highest authority on the ship in terms of law, even overriding the CMP, so a strong knowledge of law is expected. Additionally, the general expectations for a CO player, both in and out of the game, are very high.

Alert Levels

Alert levels are now in! It can be changed to Red in CIC by setting both keycard authentication devices east of the CIC bubble to red alert, then quickly swiping an ID with command access on both of them simultaneously. The Almayer control console allows you to change it back to green or blue alert. Read the guidebook to know when to set each one. There is also a sound and message associated with each one, which is sent to all ship marines and ghosts. Armory shutters now also automatically open and close when Red alert is enabled or disabled. Red alert gun cabinets will also automatically unlock and lock, no longer requiring you to break them or an MP to unlock them. Red alert gun cabinets are now also invincible to all damage but can still be destroyed by xenonid corrosive acid. There are many status displays around the Almayer that will also display the current alert level.

Marine ranks

By Dutch-VanDerLinde Marine ranks are now correctly gained with playtime and displayed in chat messages and announcements. You can also examine a marine to see their rank. This rank depends on their role and their playtime in that specific role, changing similarly to how xeno ranks do with playtime. This affects who you need to follow lawful orders from; check marine law and SOP in the guidebook for more information. This includes ranks for all marines, the liaison, and provost.

Compact and tactical nailguns

By CyberTropic Nailguns are now in! These allow you to quickly repair a barricade by using materials on it. They are also required to repair a heavily damaged barricade instead of a blowtorch. Combat technicians and some other roles get one in their kit through their vendor.

Sticky and fast resin

By Verm This update adds sticky and fast resins that builder castes can secrete. These are built faster than walls and doors and are quite cheap. Sticky resin slows non-hive members on it more than hive weeds, while fast resin speeds up hive member xenos on it. This also fixes how much weeds slow marines down. Generally, the slow on normal weeds for armored marines is slightly less now, but the penalty is heavier while unarmored. Hardy and hive weeds now also have stronger slows compared to normal weeds.

Directional armor lights

Armor lights are now directional, letting you see more in front of you, but less behind. They will automatically rotate towards where you are facing.

Burst fire changes

We are now using the same system as upstream for burst fire, which means that it should be a lot stronger for most guns.

Most notably, the MK80 and AR10 are now a lot more useful in burst-fire.

(The black square on my cursor is a recording bug, not in-game)

New update: MK1 assault rifle, bullet boxes, random ARES crates and Requisitions improvements

Few more prerequisites for Intel, please get me out of the Intel mines, and more fixes.

MK1 Assault Rifle

The M54C MK1 assault rifle has been added.

It has 95-round magazines instead of 40, less scatter, and one more round in burst fire compared to the MK2 that you are used to.

Its under-barrel grenade launcher also carries 5 grenades instead of 3, but fires slower.

The only place you can get it from as a squad member is Requisitions. They get a minimum of 3 for free, scaling with population, please I don't want every line to be 100 people asking for the MK1.

This is the gun that a lot of Intel Officers use in 13 as it lets them be more efficient with their storage space, so instead of waiting for all of Intel to be done before adding it, it has been added in advance as a prerequisite for other roles to try as well.

This change also adds the Upper Medbay, Requisitions, Engineering, and CIC armories. The bottom CIC armory also has MK1s.

Before you start asking your SO for MK1s, here's a snippet from Marine Law, which is almost done being written into the guidebook by @quietlywhisper and has been put on the wiki as well by @tunguso4ka:

• Special equipment found in armories such as the M890 Tactical Shotgun are not allowed to be handed out to non-officers without a clear, understandable, and urgent reason. The Commanding Officer's weapons may also not be handed out.

• Equipment stored in armories may not be part of a supply drop, rewards or prizes, and may not be used to form a squad.

• Armory equipment may be given to all personnel during a Code Red or Code Delta scenario. Officers must be prioritized before enlisted.

Bullet boxes

Bullet boxes or spam cans are now in.

Requisitions can buy these, carry 50% more ammunition for the same price, and can be clicked on with an empty magazine to refill it.

There are rifle, rifle AP, SMG, and SMG AP boxes. They can also be worn on your back slot.

This update also adds an option to disable auto-ejecting magazines from guns, defaulting to on as it is right now. If you disable it, you will have to eject it manually, either with a hotkey or through the right-click menu. This lets you preserve your magazines for when you want to refill them with a bullets box.

Remember to pick up and store your empty mags, specially your AP mags. If you ask me for new AP mags as a QM because you were too lazy to pick yours up, I will personally come and find you.

Random ARES crates and Requisitions vendor magazine boxing

Random ARES crates are in, which are given to Requisitions every 10 minutes depending on the amount of live xenos on the planet.

These can be magazines, bullets, and supply crates.

The first 5 sets of free crates (minutes 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50) will always have a minimum of 4 crates.

The Requisitions budget has been adjusted to compensate for this, and it now correctly uses the same scaling factor as vendors.

Requisitions will also be able to dispense filled magazine boxes instead of being forced to get a wrist injury. The right-side Requisitions vendor has a section at the bottom for them, which drains the magazines from the vendor when dispensed.

This should be the last of the Requisitions changes before the Intel update comes out, at which point they will have the intended budget experience.

Dropship hijack crashing effects and explosion

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

The dropship crashing into the Almayer now has its signature sounds and massive explosion to drive the point home that there is now a giant hole in the Almayer's hull.

You will be able to see these in-game if you are unlucky (or lucky) enough to be in a hijack.

Xenos can pat out the fires like usual to get out of the dropship.

Other Changes

General Changes

• Removed APC access checks until cutting the access wire is implemented. This lets anyone with the skill such as FTLs but not the access interact with an APC.

• Added opening barrels with crowbars to get 2 metal sheets each.

• You can now as Xenonids hold down your attack, wide swing and tackle keybinds, to continue the action, by DummeHytteOst.

• Added guidebook guides for the Communications Tower, Sensor Tower, Combat Technician, and Maintenance Technician by Kynthos on Discord.

Map Updates

• The reagent tanks in the Ordnance Technician workshop and Engineering have been confiscated by Second Lieutenant Io Soifae after a series of marines were unable to keep themselves from raiding Engineering equipment without permission. A paper note has been left behind in their place as a receipt, to get them back once an Ordnance Technician wakes up from cryo.

Because apparently people can't control themselves when making Echo squad. Any complaints should go to your XOs.

New update: Fireteams, Echo squad, night vision optic, sprite changes, weapon crosshairs

First update since the Christmas break, with 500 bug fixes and some of the changes required for Intelligence Officer in a future update.

Fireteams

Fireteams are here, at the special request of @Alec "Protag" Buchanan, as a (late) birthday present. These let Squad Leaders create up to three fireteams by clicking on their squad tracker compass alert on the right side of the screen, which can have marines assigned to them and one promoted to Fireteam Leader per Fireteam. Not to be confused with the actual Fireteam Leader role, but if you are playing with @Alec "Protag" Buchanan, chances are you will be making them the leader of their own Fireteam anyways. Other marines can also click their squad tracker compass alert to view the fireteams that their Squad Leader has setup, and to change their tracker to either track their Squad Leader, or their assigned Fireteam Leader. Squad Leaders can then give individual tasks or direction to each Fireteam.

Echo Squad

Echo squad is here, which can be created by the Commander of the operation in CIC. Any marine can be transferred to it at that point, and can be used as a fifth squad for whatever plan the Commander has in mind. Echo Squad can be watched from the Overwatch Console like any other squad, and their supply drop corresponds to the fifth green E pad in Requisitions, which Req normally operates manually on their own. This change is in preparation for Intel Squad in a future update, which will also be displayed separately.

Night Vision Optics

The first of the helmet optics, the night vision optic, has been added. It can be purchased by Fireteam Leaders and Squad Leaders in their vendors (and in a future update also Intelligence Officers), but NOT by Requisitions. Please don't ask me for it in Requisitions. I don't want a repeat of people asking me for the M60 LMG as Quartermaster. It can be toggled with an action at the top left of the screen and will last for 10 minutes of continuous use before needing to be recharged in a recharger. The battery cannot be swapped like defibrillators, but it can be directly inserted into a recharger instead. It works differently from other night vision items, adding a green tint to your screen when used (and in the future some grain for the spec ops immersion), and being unable to be used at the same time as scopes or binoculars.

Other Changes

General Changes

• New crosshairs have been ported, which depend on the gun you use and only display when wielding one in combat mode. Doing so will also hide your mouse cursor.

• Most xenonid sprites have been made overall darker, and runner has been made smaller and larva a bit bigger, by Aleksh and Sigma Draconis.

• New xeno ability icons by Aleksh! Related icons have been changed, by Verm and Aleksh.

• Added dismantling table parts into metal with a wrench, by DummeHytteOst.

• Removed explosions shaking your screen, by DummeHytteOst.

• Removed the option for players to disable all recoil, by DummeHytteOst. This made it hard to account for slight differences in balance for guns between 13 and 14. Wielding a gun still prevents your screen from shaking when shooting, and attachments that reduce recoil work as expected.

• Ported 5 minute cooldown to devolving then re-evolving to the same caste that you were.

• Added a search bar to medal/jelly UI.

• Removed unused toggle internals alert status.

• Added xeno energy alert, by Kolakolanikolay.

• The emergency autoinjector has gotten its own injection sound, by DummeHytteOst.

• Press armor now has a light, by DummeHytteOst.

• Vanguard Cleave fling & root and Warden Aid heal & rejuvenate are now separate abilities instead of being switched with a toggle. They have a shared cooldown so should work the same as before, by Verm.

• Made picking up dropped items hotkey pick up the first dropped item, instead of the last, by Dutch-VanDerLinde.

• Xeno spits have different colors now depending on how much damage they do. Neuro spit is now also yellow, by Verm.

• Phones now go to voicemail after 30 seconds if no one picks up the receiving end, by Dutch-VanDerLinde.

These can be given out by whitelisted Commanding Officers for the marines, and by Queens for the xenos, to award exemplary performance.

They will be displayed at the end of a round in the round-end window, and you can see all medals and jellies ever given to you with the top bar button in the Customize menu.

The list of CO medals are:

• Distinguished conduct medal

• Bronze heart medal

• Medal of valor

• Medal of exceptional heroism

The list of Queen jellies are:

• Royal jelly of slaughter

• Royal jelly of resilience

• Royal jelly of sabotage

• Royal jelly of proliferation

• Royal jelly of rejuvenation

This change also ports the all-clear ARES Command radio announcement when all xenos are wiped out, leaving some 3 minutes for COs to give out medals. The round-end duration has been reduced to compensate for it.

Healer Drone strain

By blueDev2

The Healer drone strain has been added!

It loses:

• Its ability to build resin.

• Some slash damage.

• It has a slightly weaker tackle.

It gains:

• Stronger pheromones.

• The ability to use your health to plant lesser resin fruit.

• The ability to heal fellow xenos by using up your health

• The ability to die in exchange for healing a fellow xeno.

If they have maximum energy (7500) when sacrificing themselves, they will respawn as a larva on their corpse.

Resin Whisperer Hivelord strain

By blueDev2

The Resin Whisperer hivelord strain has been added!

It loses:

• Corrosive acid.

• Thick resin structures, building drone-level resin structures instead.

• The ability to upgrade weak resin structures to strong resin.

• The ability to plant weed nodes outside of weeds.

• A fifth of your max plasma.

It gains:

• Longer vision.

• The ability to build resin structures and weed nodes from a 12-tile range, as long as the hivelord is on weeds.

The time it takes for Resin Whisperers to build from afar depends on how far the construction is from them; regular speed if within regular range, 2.5 times longer otherwise.

Steelcrest Defender strain

By Verm

The Steelcrest Defender strain has been added!

It loses:

• Tail sweep.

• A small amount of slash damage.

It gains:

• Increased headbutt knockback and damage.

• The ability to slowly move while fortified.

• The ability to accumulate damage and use it to recover a slight amount of health and refresh your tail stab.

Queen neuro spit

By Verm

The missing ability for mature queens to spit neurotoxin has been added.

It has two modes: one that stuns and doesn't care about armor, and one that deals damage.

You can no longer run down Queens, at least alone.

Skill-based engineer kits, first-aid kits storage, and medical kit pouches

By metalSage and Verm

Engineer kits have been added, which allow combat technicians to store power cells and circuit boards into a compact storage, which they can then store inside a backpack. Only combat technicians and others with engineering skill 2 can store engineer kits in backpacks and satchels and open them while inside one.

First-aid kits can now also be stored in backpacks and satchels by hospital corpsmen and other personnel with a medical skill of 2, and open while inside one, letting them carry much more medicine.

Medical kit pouches have also been added, letting corpsmen and some other roles carry more medical supplies.

This also fixes the medical rig starting with ointment instead of burn kits, and a few medical pouches not being able to store pill bottles.

Blood packs and surgical cases now correctly fit into first-aid kits as well.

# Commanding Officer's M59A prototype rifle

By MACMAN2003

The CO's protag rifle has been added; it has IFF like the smart gun and is ID locked to the Commanding Officer.

Both the smart gun and the CO's M59A can now have their IFF toggled on or off, letting you hit hostiles that have the same IFF tag as you. Just don't forget to leave it on if you want to fire through friendly marines!

New xeno sprites

By @aleksh and @.sigma_draconis.

The new xeno sprites are here!

You will be able to see them all in-game after months of work from Aleksh and Sigma Draconis.

In the future, the current sprites will be used for xenos made by Research.

New update: Chance's Claim, medevac, armor camouflage, marine loadouts, armor wield compensation

Smaller update while we work on Intel Officer and tech tree.

Chance's Claim Planet Map

By Noctyrn

A new planet map has been ported: Chance's Claim.

It is a large map, which will, in the future, have FORECON commanding officer survivors spawning on it round-start.

Make sure that you don't get sniped by the turret in the colony operations center (light blue).

Also, make sure that you OB A-Block and wipe as a marine in the reactor north of it.

See below for a picture of the map.

Medevac

By bluedev2

Medevac is a module that pilots can attach to their dropship's utility point mounts, which are located inside the dropship near the back.

To use them, corpsmen must deploy their medevac stretcher and buckle someone to it. All corpsmen receive one free in their loadout as part of their essentials kit, and three more are available in the medbay.

If the medevac stretcher's beacon is enabled, the pilot can then select the stretcher in the Equip tab of the UI, and immediately move them to the dropship. The medevac stretcher's beacon starts on by default but can be toggled, and it has a light in the bottom right to indicate its status.

The medevac stretcher is reusable, and the dropship's medevac system has a twenty-second cooldown.

Stasis bags can now be buckled to roller beds and medevac stretchers and will properly slow you down if you do not use a roller bed to move them.

Mentor Help

The F1 menu now allows you to message both admins for rule issues and mentors for questions about the game.

Any whitelisted Senior Enlisted Advisor can reply to these messages, and so can any admin.

If you have a question about the game, don't be afraid to ask there.

Armor camouflage

By Macman

Armor camos have been ported, which automatically change the colors of armor and equipment given by vendors depending on the planet's map.

Marine Loadouts

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

Loadouts have been added, letting you customize what items you spawn with as a marine.

They can be changed per character in the Customize menu.

Pick up dropped items hotkey

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

Quickly picking up recently dropped items has been ported, and can be done by pressing R by default.

This will let you grab an item if it was knocked out of your hands, either from a stun or you accidentally dropping it if you are within range of it.

Senior Officer Vendor

By Dutch-VanDerLinde

Senior officers (CMO, ASO, CE, CMP, and QM) now get their own vendor, with the contents being different per role.

They are located near your spawn point or office.

Armor wield compensation

By Rainbeon

Armors now correctly compensate for the slowdown that you get from wielding a gun, with heavy armor compensating the most against wield slowdown.

Carryover voting

By CyberTropic

13's carryover voting has been ported, making any planet map that doesn't win the vote carry over its votes for future votes, ensuring that all maps eventually get played.

You no longer need to play around democracy and settle for second best.

Fixed playtime perks not being enabled by default for new characters

Previously, new characters would not have playtime perks enabled by default.

If you want these turned off, you will have to turn them off again after the update, as they will be enabled for every existing character to fix the bug.

Other changes

• Fixed fire damage not piercing humanoid armor.

• Fixed fire not spreading through doors.

• Fixed being set on fire not dealing bonus damage. This doesn't apply to incendiary ammo.

• Added fire scorch marks, by CyberTropic.

• Added visual effect during treatment, by MetalSage.

• Fixed Queen Screech not stunning parasites.

• Fixed windoors, fences and handrails having more health than intended, by DummeHytteOst.

• Fixed Burrower being able to acid and perform other do-afters while burrowing.

• Fixed Crusher stomp size being too small, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed auto-regurgitation stunning, by Vermidia.

• Fixed pre-mapped tunnels not being named correctly, by bluedev2.

• Fixed xenos being able to go into tunnels while being unable to move, by bluedev2.

• Fixed burrower tunnels not showing up on the tactical map, by bluedev2.

• Fixed burrowers not being visible to fellow xenos in night vision, by bluedev2.

• Fixed defenders not being stunned by explosions.

• Fixed xenos being able to see ID/dogtags in the examine popup.

New update: Fire, Burrower, Dancer and Vanguard Praetorians, vendor population scaling

Fire, incendiary orbital bombardment, mortar, ammo and grenades

Fire is here!

This includes the incendiary OB warhead, incendiary mortar shell, incendiary shotgun shells and specialist ammo, M40 HIDP incendiary grenade, and molotovs, but not the flamer yet. The flamer will be added in a future update. Please send help, it is 6 AM.

Incendiary shotgun shells can only be obtained as map loot.

Squad roles can buy M40 HIDP incendiary grenades in their vendors, and Requisitions can also buy more.

Molotovs can be crafted by clicking paper onto a bottle of alcohol, which is especially useful to survivors. This doesn't include all of the alcohol bottles that you can find on the Almayer. This replaces the placeholder HEDP that survivors sometimes spawned with. They can also find both alcohol bottles and paper around some maps, and molotovs or incendiary ammo in others.

Molotovs also have a random 1 to 4-second detonation timer, so be quick while using them. M40 HIDP incendiary grenades do not have this random timer.

There are three types of fire:

• Red fire, caused by molotovs. It deals an average amount of damage and takes 4 to 5 resists or pats to disappear.

• Green fire, caused by M40 HIDP incendiary grenades and incendiary mortar shells. It deals an average amount of damage and disappears in a single resist or pat, but it slows down anyone inside and halves the armor of xenos inside it.

• Blue fire, caused by incendiary orbital warheads. It deals a lot of damage and takes 4 to 5 resists or pats to disappear.

All fires cause more damage while moving through them and disable any kind of healing for xenos while they are on fire.

Other notes about fire:

• Lighting a xeno on fire will immediately make them drop any parasites on their hands, and kill those parasites instantly. Being on fire will also prevent a xeno from picking up a parasite, and prevent a Carrier from retrieving a stored parasite. This doesn't kill parasites stored on a Carrier.

• The Boiler now has its signature 3x fire damage vulnerability.

• Marines and xenos can click teammates outside of combat mode to put out fires on others.

• Xenos can swipe at fire to slowly extinguish it.

• Marines can use fire extinguishers to extinguish fires or to put out fires on other marines.

• Xenos can use acid splatter to extinguish other xenos, but not oneself.

• The Almayer now starts with 1 HE orbital warhead, 1 incendiary orbital warhead, and 1 random orbital warhead in the orbital cannon room.

• Shiva's Snowball has 32 vodka bottles named after chess pieces, making the map less abysmal dogshit for @frog6645 and other survivor players.

Vendor population scaling

Vendor contents now correctly scale with the amount of marine players, and slowly restock as more marines late-join, leaving you some hope of finding any attachments in the preparation rooms.

This results in every vendor having twice the amount of items at around 100 role weight (squad roles have 1 role weight, while shipside roles have 0.25).

This includes the squad ammo and weapons vendors, ammunition vendors, attachment vendors, and requisitions vendors.

Requisitions can now also buy a crate of 25 HEDP nades for $10000 ($400 per nade instead of the usual $500 per).

They can also buy more incendiary mortar shells and incendiary grenades, but not any kind of orbital warheads.

Burrower

By bluedev2

Burrower, the last remaining T2 evolution for Drone, is here!

It can dig tunnels that allow any xeno to travel between them almost instantly. Marines can destroy these tunnels by using an entrenching tool.

It can also burrow itself into the ground to become invisible, then unburrow at another location, even through walls.

It also has a 7x7 stomp that stuns any nearby marines and can place traps like the Carrier can.

@shouldn.t can rest easy now.

Dancer and Vanguard Praetorian strains

By Vermidia

Two more strains have been ported for the Praetorian: Dancer and Vanguard.

The Dancer Praetorian focuses on high single target melee damage, while the Vanguard Praetorian has a strong one hit shield and various melee AOE moves.

Battery swapping on APCs

APCs can now have their battery swapped, letting you power on communications towers or other areas by swapping the battery inside, without being forced to setup colony power first.

Examining an APC with Shift+Left Click will show you what steps you need to perform to do this.

Porting this was entirely motivated by me having to sacrifice my life to setup power in Solaris Ridge after CIC expertly ordered us to avoid every generator found on the map, and by @max_.power going insane any time they were deployed on Shiva's.

Remember that Requisitions can buy 8 high-capacity power cells for $1000! A low price to pay for functioning comms.

Other changes:

• Fixed being knocked down causing you to be dragged faster by ~25%, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed under-plating slowing pulls by ~10%, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed not being able to transfer bullets between magazines, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed xenos ghost names being incorrect, by Rainbeon.

• Added combat technician's small tool webbing and construction ring, by Dutch-VanDerLinde.

• Added repairing cades with nailguns, by CyberTropic.

• Ported M3 officer armor, M10 officer helmet, M3 CO armor, and made M10 CO helmet available to the CO, by MACMAN2003.

• Fixed XOs spawning with SO loadout instead of its own, by DummeHytteOst.

• Fixed marines having 25 less crit health than intended. (125 > 150)

• Fixed the M54CE2 and XM88 not coming loaded.

• Fixed xenos being able to toggle communications towers.

• Fixed communications towers being too resistant to damage.

• Fixed parasites being able to hide under generators.

• Fixed Kutjevo Refinery having no shipside announcement.

• Fixed being able to store armed grenades.

• Fixed a visual bug where acid splatters looked as if they blocked bullets.

• Fixed a visual bug where it looked as if shotguns were shooting a delayed projectile.

• Fixed taking over a xeno ghost role not updating its name.

• Fixed strains consuming points when turned into, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed humanoids being too slow without armor and some xeno slows not being strong enough, by Vermidia.

• Added evacuation cancel sound, by Dutch-VanDerLinde.

• Fixed xenos being stunned for 50% too long, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed resin traps being drawn under weeds if the weeds they are on are destroyed and then replaced, by blueDev2.

• Fixed new stasis bag mechanics not working, by Vermidia.

• Added evacuation fuel pump animation, by CyberTropic.

• Fixed the Queen and Defenders sometimes being launched into lower orbit by Demolitionist Specialist rockets.

New update: Kutjevo Refinery, Orbital bombardment, tackle rework, playtime perks, acider runner

Kutjevo Refinery

By CyberTropic

A new planet map has been added, Kutjevo Refinery. See above for a screenshot.

Orbital Bombardment and squad transfers

Orbital Bombardment is here! The cannon is located on the far west side of the first floor and is loaded with a warhead and fuel using a power loader.

Make sure you follow the instructions on it for how much fuel to use! This number is randomized between 4 and 6 every round for each warhead type.

The overwatch console can fire a loaded and chambered OB using coordinates obtained through a rangefinder.

There will only be HE warheads on release, 3 of which can be found in the same room as the orbital cannon.

Cluster and incendiary warheads will be added in the future, alongside the ability to buy more warheads for tech points. At that point, only 2 will spawn for free.

Hive core is the only thing that can stop OBs, if targeted within 10 tiles of one.

The blast radius reaches very far, so make sure to move away when you hear the warning, as you will be gibbed if you are too close to it!

Command now also can transfer squad members between different squads. If you rolled the wrong squad, you can now beg your SL to ask Command to transfer you.

Tackle rework

Tackles will now work as they do in 13:

• Endurance now affects how long you are stunned, reducing stun time by 8% for Squad Leaders and Weapons Specialists, for example.

• Being tackled down now resets your tackle counter to 0 unless you are infected.

• Each caste has a different minimum number of tackles before rolling a random chance to tackle down a marine with each hit, alongside a maximum at which point the stun is guaranteed. This makes it harder for some castes to randomly tackle you, and easier for others. If you are upset about drones now being able to sometimes 2-tackle you, you should have probably complained less about the old system in #features.

• The stun time is also randomized, making it so a few castes have a harder time consistently keeping a marine tackled down. This doesn't apply if the marine is infected, which will work as the current system does and maintain tackle stacks.

• Xenos can no longer help another xeno in tackling down one marine. Each xeno keeps track of its own tackle counter.

Playtime medals, xeno ranks, and custom xeno names

As a marine, you will now spawn with a bronze, silver, gold, or platinum medal, depending on your playtime on the role, which you can attach to your uniform or armor to display it.

• 10 hours: Bronze medal.

• 25 hours: Silver medal.

• 70 hours: Gold medal.

• 175 hours: Platinum medal.

As a xeno, your name will change depending on your playtime with that caste, and it will display some chevrons to all xenos, but not marines.

• 0 hours: Young.

• 10 hours: Mature.

• 25 hours: Elder.

• 70 hours: Ancient.

• 175 hours: Prime.

Xenos can also choose a custom prefix and postfix, depending on total xeno playtime.

• 0 hours: 2 letter prefix.

• 24 hours: 1 letter or 1 digit postfix.

• 124 hours: 3 letter prefix.

• 300 hours: 2 letter postfix, or 1 letter 1 digit postfix.

You can also disable playtime perks, if you don't want the game to call out your experience to others.

Grenade explosion damage rework, stun, and slowdown

Grenades now correctly stun and slow down xenos depending on the total explosion damage dealt, the xeno's size, and the caste's explosion resistance.

This won't stun Queen or Crushers, but a HEDP point-blank on a Drone will stun them for 4 seconds, for example.

Alongside this, grenades doing too much damage to weeds and thick resin walls has been fixed. Weed nodes and thick resin walls can now barely survive one HEDP grenade placed adjacent to them.

Accuracy, point-blank shots, and dual-wielding modifiers

By Sigil

• The accuracy mechanic has been implemented. Projectiles can now miss creatures and pass through them without doing damage. Accuracy depends on the specific projectile and the firing weapon's multiplier. The latter can be seen by examining any given weapon. Accuracy decays rapidly past a certain distance.

• Evasion is now implemented. It is subtracted from any impacting projectiles' accuracy. The spec invisibility items now grant a massive bonus to evasion against friendly fire. Tasers ignore FF evasion.

• A new attachment is now publicly available: the red-dot sight. It improves the accuracy multiplier of the weapon it's attached to. The exact values can be seen by examining it. Some other attachments also affect accuracy. Examine them to see the effects.

• THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: THE FOCUS ORDER IS BAD. DO NOT USE IT. The focus order is now available to any marines able to use orders. It slightly improves the accuracy of all projectiles fired while under its effect.

• PBs have been implemented. A "PB" is a point-blank shot. You need to click directly on the target creature in melee range of you to make a PB. A PB always hits the target, ignoring its evasion, the shot's accuracy and any creatures between the shooter and the target. If the target is prone, it takes +20% damage from the PB. Note that you can't PB yourself on full-auto and will instead shoot normally.

• Dual-wielding weapons in the same weapon group now worsens their scatter and accuracy. Dual-wielding weapons no longer affects their damage.

• The mobility order buffs the evasion of any marines under its effect.

• The laser sight is now available in the SG gear rack.

Acider Runner

By Vermidia

The Acider Runner strain is here, which can apply acid to marines on hit and gains acid reserves, which they can spend on boiler-level acid that can be applied quickly or become a living time bomb For The Hive!

This also fixes corrosive acid ignoring barricade resistances for damage.

Other changes

• Added vulpkanins, by PolarTundra.

• Colorblind friendly mode (in Escape > Options > Accessibility) now changes the color of Almayer radio messages from gray to green.

• Fixed getting pulled stopping your movement until you tap a movement key again.

• Fixed joining as burrowed larva sometimes leaving behind a catatonic larva.

• Fixed dead xenos counting towards hive pop, by Vermidia.

• Fixed the underbarrel shotgun needing to be pumped and it not starting loaded with 5 buckshot shells.

• Add barricade upgrading through a radial menu, by Dutch-VanDerLinde.

• Add M5-ATL assisted reload, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed Boiler and Spitter molecular acid from tail stabs lasting 5 times longer than intended, by Vermidia.

• Boiler now explodes into gas on death, by Vermidia.

• Fixed Fix boiler gas not doing armor ignoring damage, it now does greater damage with only a small portion being effected by armor

• Added xeno leader crown to tactical map, by Vermidia.

• Fixed XM51 ammo changing into buckshot ammo when split, by Boaz1111.

• Fixed several entities dropping the wrong resources, by Nairodian.

• Fixed body bags preventing rot, by Vermidia.

• Fixed Bipods using the wrong deployment direction when being deployed after a manual un-deploy. Bipods should no longer seem to "randomly" undeploy when being fired, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed nutriment not healing blood if not hungry, and iron now correctly heals more blood but also requires nutrition, by Vermidia.

• Fixed some cases of Warrior lunge being faulty at high ping, by Rainbeon.

• Fixed marines in lockers not counting as evacuated for round-end conditions, and xenos can no longer see through lockers during hijack, by Dutch-VanDerLinde.

• Fixed XM51 beaching shells not having 4 bullets, by Vermidia.

• Fixed the automated munition squad vendor not having 2 boxes of breaching shells.

• Fixed the XM51 breaching scattergun getting dual-wield penalties.

• Fixed fire axe and pickaxe doing bonus structural damage, by Vermidia.

• Fixed non-smart gun operators being able to use a smart gun operator's night vision sight.

• Fixed staff officers not being able to buy a radio telephone pack for 15 points in their vendor.

• Fixed the command tablet's tactical map button not working and it incorrectly having an overwatch button.

• Fixed the nanomed blocking movement.

• Fixed stasis bags not running out of stasis time during use. They now have 15 minutes of stasis time per bag, by Vermidia.

• Fixed xenonids not being able to devour standing but unmoving marines, by DummeHytteOst.

• Fixed Scout Specialists not being uncloaked after infection, by Dutch-VanDerLinde.

• Fixed food trays leaving behind an empty tray, by DummeHytteOst.

• Pulling now rotates the puller, by Dutch-VanDerLinde.

• Fixed being able to move closets.

• Disconnected xenos are now automatically made into a ghost-role after 5 minutes.

• Fixed sentries having 1 tile less range than intended, by FungiFellow.

New update: Hive leaders, burrowed larva, M54CE2, XM88, XM51

M54CE2 Heavy Assault Rifle

By @cephalo222

The M54CE2 is here. Its case includes a bipod, which you must deploy to use it effectively.

It can rapidly gun down any xenos in front of you if you fire controlled bursts.

It is obtainable in Requisitions; 3. Three are included in the armaments vendor for free, and bundles of two can be bought for $4000.

XM88 Heavy Rifle

By @magicocity

The XM88 has been added, it's a gun that rewards good accuracy but punishes misses severely.

Its unique mechanic is that it gains more damage and AP and cycles faster after hitting multiple shots in a row.

Squad Leaders get one for free, and Requisitions gets a few and can buy more.

XM51 Breaching Scattergun

By @metalsage

The XM51 allows you to destroy any structure quickly. Two hits will destroy a wall, and four hits will destroy a reinforced wall.

Requisitions gets 3 of them for free, and can buy 2 more per crate for $3000 each.

Hive leaders, Queen ovipositor abilities, and Hivelord resin structure upgrading

The Queen can choose up to 4 hive leaders, which will emit the same pheromones as her with her 4x pheromone multiplier while she's in Ovi.

She can also use 600 plasma to remotely heal any xenos in a 4-tile radius for 30% of their health each, which is also only usable while she's in Ovi.

The Queen can also devolve any T2 or T3 xeno that does not follow her orders for 500 plasma. If you are one of them, you may now self-report in #general by complaining about this change so that we can also role-ban you from Xeno for LRP.

Hivelords can also upgrade regular resin structures into thick resin by using the secrete resin action near them. Doing so will cost them the difference in plasma cost between the upgraded and unupgraded resin structures.

Burrowed Larva

Any xenos not taken by players at round-start will now be burrowed larva, saving xenos from having to drag them around and keep them safe. A count of them is displayed in the watch Xeno UI.

These spawn from the hive core, and if there is none, the Queen.

Marine late-joins will now give xenonids additional burrowed larva, scaled to the role that they spawn as (squad role or otherwise) and how soon or late they join into the round.

Armor preferences and shoulder holster

By @officialsans

Armor preferences allow you to choose which type of medium armor to get from the vendor. This preference can be changed in the Customize > Appearance tab.

The shoulder holster has also been added. It can be attached to your uniform and allows you to carry a sidearm and two magazines.

The uniform surplus vendor also has 15 of each type and now correctly has 1 radio telephone pack.

Other changes

• Added both round-start ARES announcements, one greeting marines and one announcing the planet.

• Added custom pill bottle labels and colors in the chemmaster, by @blue321

• Added grinders to the kitchen, medbay and research rooms.

• Added the IMP ammo rack backpack, which lets you carry around three magazine boxes. Requisitions gets 2 for free. By @sio3732 and @vermidia

• Added the shoulder holster, by crystalHex.

New update: New Varadero, telecommunications towers, claw sharpness

New Varadero

By @feroxz

Aurallianz has ported a new planet map: New Varadero

It is a beach map with both landing zones at the north, a crashed hunter ship southeast, and a cave network southwest.

It also has a surgery table near the northwest landing zone.

Telecommunications towers

• Comms towers are in, which need to be repaired, powered, tuned with a security access tuner, and turned on before marines on the planet can use radio channels.

• This change also renames Marine Common to Almayer and makes it impossible for it to work on the planet, regardless of whether or not comms towers are up.

• Two comms towers randomly spawn in one of a few preset positions and are visible on the tactical map by Command at round-start. Make sure to check where they are before choosing your landing zone.

• Only one needs to be enabled for radio channels to work on the planet. In a future update, having two will enable Marines to deploy a nuke after 2 hours or let Xenos make a King. Once that is implemented, they will also give tech points.

• The Almayer and the dropship always have all radio channels available if they have not landed on a planet without a comms tower enabled.

• Rotary phones and the RTO backpack have been added as well, which let you ring specific departments or marines to communicate with them. They can be used even if comms are up if you really want to catch someone's attention. Any squad role can get an RTO backpack from their vendor, but it is cheapest for Squad Leaders and Fireteam Leaders, so you can expect @commissarspectre to have one every game.

• Command will also always be able to message a specific squad through their overwatch console, regardless of whether or not comms are up.

Claw sharpness

By @officialsans

It no longer takes 500 years for a xeno to break a wall or window frame, depending on the xeno.

Each structure has a set amount of hits to be destroyed depending on the claw sharpness of the specific xenonid attacking it.

Corpsman pressurized reagent canister chem dispensers and vendor rework

By @vermidia

Hospital corpsmen now have a dispenser in their prep rooms that can be used to make some simple canister mixes, removing some of their reliance on medbay. However, they will still need to go there for complex chems.

This also reorganizes corpsmen vendors to have fewer useless choices and changes the recommended items.

Surgical cases now also correctly fit surgical line and synth graft inside them.

This update also adds all missing EZ autoinjectors to the research medilathe, as well as the 30x6 medic autoinjector.

Another change is a fix to bleeding while dead. Your heart will now correctly stop, and blood will no longer drain while you are dead.

Alongside this, hyposprays now correctly only take medical skill 1 to use.

Lurker and Runner changes

By @rainbeon

• Lurker and runner leap now correctly self-roots instead of self-stunning. This means they can attack, shove, and initiate grabs immediately after a leap without waiting but still cannot move.

• Lurkers also self-root themselves for 1.5 seconds when leaping a marine while invisible, up from 0.7 seconds, and will no longer stun themselves when leaping a marine while still visible.

• Lurker will also correctly un-root themselves when attacking marines after a leap.

• Alongside this, downed players can no longer be pulled over tables or window frames without dragging them onto them first, and Runners can once again instantly walk through window frames without climbing through them first.

Sentinel tweaks

By @vermidia

The Sentinel has had its missing ability to drain some medicine with its spits added.

This also fixes some of the Sentinel's abilities being weaker than intended:

• Paralyzing slash kicks in 1 second faster and stuns for an additional second.

• Slowing spit lasts for 8 seconds instead of 5 and has a 2-second cooldown instead of 1.5.

• Scattered spit has a 45-degree spread instead of 60 and has a 6-second cooldown down from 8.

New lobby art, lobby songs, and hijack song

By @wendyribstonofpippin, @nightyshade, and @bolgarich

This update brings The Fallen Queen lobby song by Bolgarich, Enemy is Unknown lobby song by Nighty, and Storm the Iron Hive hijack soundtrack by Nighty, alongside four new lobby art backgrounds by wendyribstonofpippin

Other changes:

• Fixed the motion detector not showing blips while worn on the belt or suit storage slot, by @vermidia

• Fixed dual-wielding SMGs or rifles having higher than intended accuracy and damage. They now have 75 added degrees of spread, while dual-wielding rifles will cause their bullets to deal 70% less damage, and dual-wielding SMGs will cause their bullets to deal 50% less damage.

• Fixed operation Bassmaster not finding any of the boxes of shotgun shells that were supposed to be there in the underground lake house in LV.

• Added information tags, which can be added to the memorial in remembrance of fallen marines, by @vermidia

• Added ghosts being able to see the tactical map.

• Added the CO's Mateba, command pouch, large general pouch, and correct clothing, by @gwonkbro

• Added scorch marks to grenades and CAS' GAU-21, by @cybertropic

• Added the sniper specialist's prepare position ability to their ghillie suit, which lets them become invisible while stationary and shoot a few shots before becoming visible again, by @officialsans

• Added the nailgun, by @cybertropic

• Added the D18 hummingbird, which fits into shoes, by @fungifellow_4551

• Added new tactical map blip sprites, by @vermidia

• Added admin event spawns for the Corporate Executive Specialist and Supervisor, ICB Liaison, and the Interstellar Sapient-Life Rights Observer.

• Added the missing grenade satchels and mini power cells to the Requisitions vendor.

• An attached silencer now lowers the range at which gunshots can be heard.

• Fixed the max ranges on some xeno projectile ranges being incorrect.

• Fixed consuming xenonid fruit being too slow, by @vermidia

• Fixed the uniform surplus vendor not having medium armor, by @macman2003

• Fixed the bipod not being able to shoot sideways at a 90-degree angle, by @rainbeon

• Fixed promoting someone to aSL incorrectly removing command comms from all other aSLs.

• Fixed sensor towers not changing their appearance when breaking automatically over time.

• Fixed the fire axe not prying unpowered doors instantly like the crowbar does.

• Fixed ice walls on Shiva's not being destroyed by explosions.

• Fixed the M4SPR with a bipod healing damage with melee attacks.

• Increased the time it takes for the round to end from 2 to 5 minutes, and to start from 2 and a half to 3 minutes.

• Remove alt clicking yourself with a gun to suicide. Right clicking yourself to do it remains.

• Added buttons to open the tactical map and overwatch in the groundside operations console UI.

New update: Supply drops, sensor tower, motion detector, energy chemistry

Supply drops

Supply drops are here, letting Command and Requisitions drop a crate with supplies at the given coordinates if the area's ceiling doesn't prevent them. No longer are you forced to have your entire metal resupply filtered by Bravo through osmosis.

These coordinates are the same that mortars use, and can be obtained by using rangefinders.

The supply pads are located in Requisitions, one for each squad labeled with a colored letter. Placing a closed crate on each pad allows Command staff in the CIC to dial in coordinates into their overwatch console and shoot it there. Be careful of its landing indicator, as it will instantly kill you if it lands on you!

Requisitions get an additional computer hooked up to one more supply drop pad, letting them operate independently from Command if needed.

Promoting acting squad leaders through the overwatch console

The overwatch console is also getting the ability to promote acting squad leaders, which will replace who your squad tracker tracks, give that person Command+JTAC comms, and give them the ability to give order buffs.

This update also adds the bigger green arrow for leadership roles (promoting and demoting squad leaders also gives and takes away this) and the bigger purple arrow for the Queen.

Sensor tower

Each planet map will have a sensor tower that can be repaired by those trained in engineering. When enabled, this tower will give Command staff a live-updating view of all xenonids on the planet.

This tower starts destroyed and can be destroyed by xenos, and will also randomly break while active.

Updating the tactical map with it on will allow the rest of the marines to see a snapshot of where the xenos were, as it currently does with marine positions. This will make it easier for the marines to chase down the few remaining Xenos.

Motion detector

The motion detector is here, both as a stand-alone item (purchasable by all squad roles) and as an integrated part of the smart gun.

It will periodically give audible pings on the screen of any unknown nearby movement from both survivors and xenos.

The standalone motion detector can be toggled between a faster scanning mode for a shorter range and a slower scan for a longer range.

Requisitions also get 4 of these for free and can buy crates of 2 more for 4000 dollars each.

Fireman carry

Fireman carry is now also implemented, letting you carry marines around without the regular pull speed penalty if your skills allow you to.

To do it, you need to pull someone twice to trigger an aggressive grab and then drag them onto you. If they move, they will attempt to break free from your fireman carry.

Energy chemical dispenser, pressurized reagent canister pouch and other medical changes

The chemical dispenser now uses energy instead of being limited to an entire 200 carbon for the whole operation. This energy automatically regenerates over time.

Reagent tanks have also been added, which carry 1000 reagent units. They allow you to mix chemicals more easily. Please God use them to make a good mix of medicine for marines.

Alongside it, medical staff and hospital corpsmen can now buy the pressurized reagent canister pouch. This pouch easily holds 570 units of any chemical mixture, either a preset mix purchased or one requested from medical personnel. Inside the pouch is a 90-unit autoinjector that automatically refills whenever it is inserted.

Stasis bags also no longer require the target to be lying down. You can close them on someone that's standing up. You no longer need to tackle or inaprovaline them before bagging them.

Pills now also metabolize at their correct speed, 10 seconds, down from 20 seconds.

Defibrillators will now also properly revive someone that died purely from bloodloss, and you can now switch hands while using them.

Xenonid speed fixes

Xenos have had their speed values revised to more accurately represent 13, notably:

• Updated all xenonid pull speeds, notably slowing down the Runner's pull speed by 23.5% and the Warrior by 10%, and slightly increasing the speed for other castes, by @rainbeon

• Fixed frenzy pheromone movement speed buff being 40% stronger than intended.

• Fixed Boiler Bombard projectile being 2.6 times faster than intended.

• Fixed weed spread being 3 times faster than intended.

• Fixed pulling marines pulling marines and xeno corpses being slower than intended.

Other changes

• Added the missing early hive spread protection near landing zones, which blocks the spread of weeds and construction of resin near landing zones for the first 45 minutes of the game.

• Added a second ear slot, for holding screwdrivers and penlights. Two headsets cannot be worn at the same time.

• Added the M63 SMG holster rig, letting you carry an SMG and two mags in your belt or suit storage slot.

• Added the missing +25% melee weapon damage buff to Specialists and the CMP.

• Fixed the tactical map not showing a green heart on dead but defibbable marines.

• Reverted the change that allows some xenonids to instantly move through window frames until pulling marines through them is fixed to not be instant.

• Fixed some cases where the guaranteed hivelord and carrier slots would not work, by @vermidia

• Fixed Gardener Drone weeds not being able to spread onto semiweedable tiles, by crystalHex

• Fixed Scout Specialist gear being acidable.

• Fixed being able to akimbo MOU53s.

• Fixed barricade welding inconsistencies from 13, by @vermidia

• Parasite traps are now more consistent, by @vermidia

• Successfully infecting someone as a Parasite now correctly lets you skip the delay before becoming a new one, by @rainbeon

• Updated MK80 falloff to start at 6 tiles instead of 3, by @Verm

• Updated suicide delay to its new value, 2 seconds, down from 4.

• Added Avali speech sounds, by Nefuki.

New update: Survivors, shotgun handfuls and the Gardener Drone strain

Survivors

Survivors spawn on the planet at round-start and must loot anything they can find if they hope to survive long enough to be rescued by the marines. You will also spawn with random gear but are guaranteed a flashlight in your survival pouch. Remember to turn it on!

This update also adds many missing weapons, magazines, materials, lootable corpses, and armor to our five-planet maps. Six survivor weapons have also been ported: the AR10 and 96FS by @Adam (Stacks), M16, MP5, MK45, and holdout pistol.

This is a very hard role to play that isn't expected to live most rounds.

This will only include one survivor type at launch, but its starting gear will still be properly randomized for each round. More to come soon.

Alongside this, doors and accesses have been updated so that CIC is no longer a walk-in clinic.

This includes an update to prying; doors will now properly use power from the APC in their area and are instantly pryable with a crowbar if unpowered. A gun with a bayonet attached can also pry them at a slower rate. With these two changes now ported, it is no longer possible for humanoids to pry a door with their bare hands, nor for a knife not attached to a gun to pry one.

This change also adds suicides, which can be done by alt-left-clicking yourself with a loaded gun or by right-clicking yourself while holding a loaded gun.

• Suicides require a valid roleplay reason and will result in a ban otherwise.

• An example of a valid scenario is suiciding as a survivor in a last-stand scenario, when it is clear that you will be captured by xenonids and there is no hope of fighting back.

• Starting to suicide but canceling it will be treated the same way as an actual suicide.

• An example of valid and invalid reasons will be listed in the guidebook once the update is live.

Survivors are also held to one more rule: they aren't allowed to rush the hive round-start. Doing so will result in a role-ban or game-ban. If the hive rushes you, however, you can defend yourself as the founding fathers intended.

Handfuls of shotgun shells

These are now implemented. You no longer have to carry whole shell boxes, and you will have much more flexibility regarding where you want to store your shells.

This also means that shotguns can't be reloaded with a shotgun shell box anymore, as they are regular storage with five handfuls of five shotgun shells each.

The large shotgun shell pouch has also been added. It is available to squad leaders, some command roles, and pilots. Requisitions also starts with one in their vendor.

Alongside this, the under-barrel shotgun attachment has been fixed. It now correctly one-shots resin and thick resin doors with buckshot and three-shots thick resin walls. Remember to attach one to your M54C if you are going breaching!

Magazine boxes have been added to these as well, by CyberTropic.

Gardener Drone strain

By crystalHex

This strain sacrifices its resin constructions and corrosive acid to grow various resin fruits, plant hardier weeds, and surge resin.

Resin surge allows you to speed up fruit growth, create temporary walls, and make existing resin walls temporarily nigh unbreakable.

The fruits have one of the following effects: instant healing, health/plasma regeneration, overshield, movement speed increase, passive recovery pheromones, and ability cooldown reduction.

Lurker invisibility fixes

By Rainbeon

Lurkers can now:

• Manually toggle off their invisibility, which refunds 90% of the remaining time.

• They can now attack structures and wide swings without losing invisibility, as long as they do not hit a marine.

• They are also able to shove marines without losing invisibility.

• They can no longer devour while invisible. Doing so de-cloaks them and refunds 50% of the remaining cloak time.

New update: Power, post-hijack evacuation and the Carrier caste

See the video above for a demonstration of the Carrier.

The Carrier is a T2 xenonid caste that the Drone can evolve into, and as the name implies, its main purpose is to carry eggs and parasites.

If you somehow loved doing logistics as a marine but want to do it as a xeno, this is the caste for you.

It can carry 8 eggs and 16 parasites and throw the latter onto marines. The days of the Queen having to order drones and lesser drones to ferry eggs and parasites around are over.

This is the second caste to receive a guaranteed tier slot alongside the Hivelord, meaning that the hive will always be able to support at least one of each.

It can also place resin hole traps, which can be filled with boiler gas, acid, or parasites. If you are a marine, be careful of where you walk!

This update also enables xenonis to see each others' live position while the Queen is in ovi.

Colony power and light replacement

Power mechanics have been added. Each planet has one or multiple clusters of fusion reactors that must be repaired by marines to restore power to the colony. Once they do, any areas with a working APC will have their lights turned on.

Xenos can break the APCs and the fusion reactors, and combat technicians are most prepared in terms of gear and skill to repair both.

Lights now properly break down into an empty tube instead of deleting the fixture entirely, allowing marines to replace them as they go instead of relying entirely on flares. The light replacer also carries its intended 50 lights now.

The engineering department, including the maintenance technician and chief engineer, will be opened with this update.

Post-hijack evacuation

Once the hijacked dropship lands, an evacuation process will begin, where marines and xenonids have to fight for control of certain areas.

These areas work towards fueling emergency lifeboats and evacuation pods for marines, but only when powered.

There are two on each end of the first floor of the Almayer and four on each corner of the second floor, with each turret having a pair of turrets that can be deployed to defend it.

Once refueling is complete, marines can take the two lifeboats on the far eastern end of the second floor to escape and surrender their ship to the xenos or the evacuation pods littered across it.

Both can also be launched early, with a 75% chance of crash-landing back on the planet, at the risk of encountering any remaining threats.

The exception is the Liaison's evacuation pod in their office, which has no penalty for being launched early.

Lifeboats must have permission from Command to be launched, while the escape pods require none.

During this process, late joins are disabled, preventing new and veteran players alike from joining into an instant capture or death. The full process can take anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes, depending on how well or poorly marines do.

This change also removes the rule that enforced a 30-minute minimum hold before evac.

Trijent Dam

By Tunguso4ka

Tunguso4ka has ported another map from 13, Trijent Dam, a desert that is split in half by two long rivers.

This update won't include its water purification mechanics, but that will be added soon after.

This also makes the map vote system exclude the last two selected maps instead of just the last one as we now have five planet maps to choose from, so you will have to include a third map in your lv > solaris > lv > solaris > lv > solaris rotation.

Evolution point gain changes

T2 and T3 castes now take the correct amount of points to evolve into (100 less for T2 and 40 less for T3), and the hive core also gives 50% more evolution points to xenos while alive.

However, this also changes the default evolution point gain to its intended value of 0.5 points per second instead of 1. With a hive core, this goes up to 0.75.

Xenonids will now also have their missing +5 evolution points per second (10 times the default amount) for 3 minutes on hijack start, adding more reason for marines to want to get out once it starts. You no longer need to wait for your xenos to evolve as Queen. The grow ovipositor action will also have its cooldown correctly cleared when the hijack starts. You can really just go and do it as soon as you are able.

🐛 - Fixed job slot scaling with pop not working.

🐛 - Fixed shotguns having no delay to fire when swapping between them.

🐛 - Fixed Lurker pounce and Praetorian dash going on cooldown if you try to use them without plasma.

🐛 - Fixed HE mortar shell damage being lower than intended, not even breaking one regular wall. A single HE shell will now destroy a 3x3 of regular walls (3000 hp), but only deal 6000 damage to a reinforced wall (9000 hp). This doesn't change the damage it does to xenonids or marines, only structures.

🐛 - Fixed some Praetorian and Warden Praetorian abilities being usable while resting. Spit, spray acid, acid ball, retrieve and aid xenonid now are correctly no longer usable while the Praetorian is resting.

🐛 - Fixed the popup for the Warden Praetorian's aid xenonid being incorrect for players other than the Praetorian and the target.

🐛 - Fixed the Warden Praetorian being able to gain internal hitpoints from spitting at a wall.

🐛 - Ported 13's 20-second cooldown for emote sounds. Anyone angered by this change should take it up with the hordes of people yawn and emote spamming during briefing in the middle of a Brigadier-General aboard the Almayer, or those spamming emotes in the dropship. Admins have better things to do than handle this dogshit rp every round. The scream hotbar action will always bypass this cooldown, also on a 20 second cooldown.

Whisper updated:

🐛 - Fixed missing sprites for the worn sniper spec weapon.

Dutch-VanDerLinde updated:

❌ - Removed akimbo shotguns.

Rainbeon updated:

🐛 - Fixed mortars being hit by bullets not targeted directly at them, and being damaged by marine melee.

🐛 - Removed shotgun fire delay on wield now that fire groups are in. Akimbo shotguns still won't work, but wielding your shotgun will no longer put it on a very long cooldown anymore.

🐛 - Fixed the M5-ATL (Demolitionist weapons spec rocket launcher) leaving behind fake projectiles.

🐛 - Fixed placing eggs and returning parasites to them having no delay. Both now have a 4 second delay.

🐛 - Fixed some shutters and podlocks not being acidable by xenos.

⚒️ - Removed a lot of turrets from the landing zones of all four planet maps. The poison gas remains, with some turrets still within it.

DrSmugleaf updated:

🆕 - Added the missing boost to evolution points when hijack starts. For 3 minutes, xenos will get 5 evolution points per second, 10 times the default.

🆕 - Added the missing evolution point bonus to the hive core, when present it will boost default evolution point gain by 50%. This change also resets default evolution point gain to its intended value, 0.5 per second instead of 1 per second. A hive core will bring it up to 0.75 per second.

🐛 - Fixed some xenos requiring more evolution points than intended to evolve. T1 > T2 now requires 200, down from 300. T2 > T3 now requires 500, down from 540.

⚒️ - Pressing Tab will now switch to focusing the next input on the mortar window.

🐛 - Fixed the start of a hijack not resetting the Queen's grow ovipositor cooldown.

🐛 - Fixed Req not being able to buy 20 plastic for 2000 dollars, primarily used in the medilathe.

⚒️ - Egg placing now has sounds, and speed is 3.5 seconds, with normal drones doing it in 2.5 and carriers in 1. It costs 30 plasma to place an egg.

🆕 - Parasites can go into resin traps to fill them manually. AI paras will do this if they can't get into an egg.

🆕 - Resin traps can be filled with corrosive acid

🆕 - Almost all xeno announcements for deaths/trap triggers give location.

🆕 - Added post-hijack evacuation. During this process, marines must hold a few key areas to complete emergency fueling, letting them evacuate the Almayer through the lifeboats, or the escape pods. The escape pods may hold a maximum of 3 living beings, with any more than that causing them to crash. Escape pods may also crash if launched early, except for the one in the Liaison's office. The four fuel pump areas have sentries that may be deployed during a hijack. This change also temporarily removes the Savannah from selection until it can be updated to have all the evacuation and power mechanics.

New update: Praetorian and Warden Praetorian

See the video above for a demonstration.

The Praetorian is a T3 xenonid caste that both Spitters and Warriors can evolve to, centered around its acid stacking mechanic.

Each spit will apply one stack to the marine it hits, and its spray acid will apply two with each hit. Upon reaching five stacks, the marine takes an extra 30 damage.

It also has an acid ball, which can be thrown at a given location and will explode into 14 spits. A marine can be hit by a maximum of 4 of them, immediately bringing them to 4 stacks.

Each spit and acid ball spit hit will also grant the Praetorian 15 shield, up to a maximum of 45, giving it a small amount of shielding from damage.

It also has a dash which lets it quickly reposition itself.

Warden Praetorian

The Warden Praetorian is the first strain that we are adding into the game (more soon).

Strains can be evolved into at any time using the regular evolve window, without requiring any evolution points. The Warden specifically gains stronger than Hivelord pheromones, the ability to pull endangered xenonids to its location, and an internal energy pool separate from plasma that fills with every slash, used to heal your allies or to cure their ailments (including any stuns).

In exchange, it loses acid ball, acid spray, dash, a bit of damage and movement speed, and its acid stacking mechanic, becoming more effective at supporting the hive and getting your allies out of danger while becoming less effective in solo combat.

Retrieve can be used from long range to pull any xeno sized big or smaller (not the Queen and Crusher), or bigger as well if they are stunned, resting, or in crit.

Aid Xenonid can be toggled between healing and curing ailments. If used to heal, it will use some of your energy to heal both you and the target xeno at melee range. If used to cure ailments, it will instantly remove any knockdowns and stuns from the target xeno, at a range of 7 tiles. This includes SADAR stuns.

Xenonid identifier fixes

Your identifier (XX-123) will now be preserved between evolutions and devolutions, instead of randomizing every time. This doesn't allow custom identifiers yet, but that will come in a future update.

Xenonid tier slot fixes

The xenonids now have their free Hivelord tier slot, and the Queen is no longer counted as taking up a tier slot. This primarily affects low-pop, but it will make it so there's always guaranteed to be 1 hivelord in the hive.

Almayer/Savannah pop adjustments

The thresholds for Savannah and Almayer have also been adjusted, with lower pops now rolling Almayer more often.

Bullet hitbox increases for xenonids

The bullet hitbox of most xenos has been increased by 14%, making them easier to hit.

This doesn't apply to those that already had a smaller (larva, parasite) or larger (defender, crusher, queen) bullet hitbox. This also fixes the Queen getting stuck on some things, notably the Requisitions elevator railings.

🆕 - Added the Warden Praetorian strain, a strain that trades some offensive capabilities for strong support abilities. Mousing over it in the evolve window as a Praetorian will give you all the details.

🐛 - Fixed xenonids not being able to target projectiles at non dead marines that are lying down

🐛 - Fixed shooting some guns lagging you to death.

New update: Tactical map, gun and melee delay fixes, shotgun sentry

Tactical Map 

This lets marines and xenos view the current planet's map through an action in the action bar.

It can be updated every 4 minutes by Command staff in the CIC and by the Queen to give each side drawn directions and a static view of everyone else's position at the time of the update. Command and the Queen can see the positions in real time instead.

In the future, all xenonids will get a live-updating map while the Queen is in ovi, and marines will be able to repair a sensor tower to see a live position of xenos on their tactical map.

Gun Prediction/Lag Compensation

Contributed by metalgearsloth, ElectroSR, and DrSmugleaf

This removes the fire delay from guns due to ping. If you had very low ping this should not be a noticeable change, but for everyone else, it will make guns feel as responsive as melee does.

Speaking of melee, that had a bug that made it more unreliable with higher ping. This update fixes that too.

If this change works out well, this will also let us move the server to a different region with better hardware, finally increasing the gun projectile velocity to what its supposed to be (and saving a hundred dollars a month).

Shotgun sentry upgrade

Contributed by Verm

It uses its own ammo, shoots buckshot, and deals damage to attackers. This was the last remaining base sentry upgrade to be implemented.

Marines-per-xeno autobalance is gone, and job slots now properly scale instead. 

We previously had a system that automatically adjusted the marines per xeno ratio for future rounds depending on round outcome. This system is gone, since:

• No individual update moves the balance that much anymore.

• There are now four planet maps, making the system slow at adjusting every map.

• LV is no longer as much of an outlier now that it has its random fog breaks at round-start.

The biggest remaining balance difference was between high and low pop, and job slots now properly scale with pop.

• This means that there can now be 5 staff officers with 160 or more marines, for example.

• The amount of specs and sgs vary now as well, with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 (the current value). At 60 marines or above, there will always be 4 sgs and 4 specs as there are currently.

Machete/Shotgun scabbards by crystalHex, and M15 fragmentation grenades

Contributed by lapatison 

Machete and shotgun scabbards can be put on your back. This is specially useful for smart gun operators, who normally cannot use a regular backpack, but can use the special machete scabbard that they can buy from their vendor.

The m15 fragmentation grenade is a slightly stronger grenade than the HEDP, with the fragmentation ability of the HEFA. These can be bought by Requisitions. The downside is that it cannot be shot out of a grenade launcher.

Sentries are now included in the named items perk

Patreons with the named items perk (Rouny and above) can now choose a name for their sentry at round-start, if they happen to get one as a combat technician from their vendor.

This can be found with the rest of the named items setting, in Customize > Named Items.

The name will be kept even if the sentry is upgraded.

crystalHex updated:

🆕 - Added two new machete scabbards (one for the smart gun operator) and a shotgun scabbard.

The tactical map can be opened with an action in your bar, and Command can edit it by opening a map table in CIC.

❌ - Removed the auto-balancing system that adjusts marines per xeno depending on round outcomes, as each individual update no longer has as big of an impact on balance as they used to and the biggest difference right now is made by the amount of players in the server.

🐛 - Added the missing job slot scaling feature that will adjust how many of each marine role are available depending on how many marines are playing. The scaling depends on the specific role, with the heaviest adjustments happening to still unimplemented roles (mess technician and ordnance technician), but will for example allow up to 5 staff officers with 160 or more marines, with 1 + 1 staff officer for each 40 marines, for a range of 2 to 5. The standard 4 specs and sgs are available at 60 marines or above, with a minimum of 2 of each being available per round. This scaling won't affect research unlocking spec slots in the future once implemented.

DrSmugleaf updated:

🆕 - Added Sentry name to the list of Patreon nameable items. The name will persist between upgrades.

DrSmugleaf updated:

🐛 - Fixed a Warrior stopping its pull not cancelling the stun and knockdown from it. If a Warrior stops pulling someone after hitting them with a Lunge, the target will now correctly instantly get up.

🐛 - Fixed Warrior Punch and Fling not cancelling pulls if done while pulling the target. Punch and Fling will now correctly break your pull on the target if you happen to be pulling them before using either ability.

DrSmugleaf updated:

🆕 - Added gun prediction and lag compensation, aka removes the delay on firing due to ping.

🐛 - Fixed melee attack lag compensation not accounting for your ping, which would make melee attacks done by players with higher ping more unreliable.

lapatison updated:

🆕 - Added M15 fragmentation (hand) grenade. This grenade is stronger than it's counterparts, but can't be used with grenade launchers.

Dutch-VanDerLinde updated:

🆕 - You can now become a parasite by using a right click verb on an egg.

Vermidia updated:

🐛 - All xenos minus parasites can now emote properly

🐛 - Xeno death noises are a bit louder now

🐛 - Added the hive core's missing passive healing. It now heals 100 damage every 10 seconds.

🐛 - Added the hive core's missing 5 minute cooldown if destroyed by damage. The automatic destroy on hijack does not activate the cooldown.

New update: Shotgun stuns, Sniper/Omni sentry, planet map vote, LV updates

Shotgun stuns

Contributed by Verm

Buckshot and slugs will now stun xenonids if shot at a close enough range. This excludes very large xenos (T3, Queen) and very small xenos (Larva, Parasite).

The Scout Weapons Specialist will also get access to high-impact magazines, with the same effect at a greater range.

This also fixes slug ammo not firing any projectiles.

Note that the Drone doesn't get knocked back due to a bug in the video above, but that is fixed now.

Gun damage fall-off

Contributed by Sigil

Gun damage fall-off is now implemented, meaning bullets will do less damage the further they travel. You will no longer die instantly to a stray bullet shot across the map from you.

Some scopes counter-act this when active, and the M4SPR has no damage fall-off. Some scopes have toggleable zoom levels, such as between 2x and 4x.

This also introduces the breaching damage bonus to the under-barrel shotgun, making it much better at destroying structures.

Sniper and Omni sentries

Contributed by Verm

Combat Technician sentries have had two more upgrades added:

The sniper sentry, with a longer range, a lot more damage but a slower fire rate.

The Omni sentry, with lower damage and range, but the ability to turn a full 360 degrees.

Planet map votes

You can now vote on the next planet to play on. This happens in the lobby, excluding the last map chosen.

LV-624 updates

Contributed by Dutch-VanDerLinde

LV has gotten some updates, namely near its research landing zone, cargo containers area, and crashed shuttle area.

Parasite AI

Contributed by Verm

Playerless parasites will now automatically leap to and infect nearby valid targets, instead of just sitting there menacingly.

Round-end soundtracks

Contributed by Bolgarich

Each round outcome will now have an accompanying ten-second sound played at round-end, instead of being dead silent. These were made by the same person who made the two hijack tracks we use!

🆕 - The M96S integrated scope can now toggle between 2x and 4x magnification. The former allows you to move while aiming.

🆕 - Damage falloff for bullets added. In broad strokes: The further you are from your target, the less damage your shots will do. Notable weapons and attachments: M63 bullets start rapidly losing damage past 4 tiles, the M4SPR removes falloff from its ammo, M96S ammo has no falloff, buckshot becomes useless at 4 tiles, slugs at 8 and flechettes at 12, active scopes reduce falloff and the silencer increases it.

⚒️ - The masterkey now deals massively increased damage to walls, doors and certain other structures. Its damage to other targets has been reduced to its intended values. The primary pellet now deals 55 damage, while the three additional ones deal 20 each.

⚒️ - Brought all scope doafters in line with how they are on CM.

Feature Priority Poll: Next Xenonid caste

The mortar and sentry update is now done, which was the winner of the first community-wide feature priority poll on Discord.

A few things to note:

• These alternate between community-wide, and Patreon only.

• All of these will eventually be implemented (this is not a Minecraft mob vote), but the winner will be implemented first.

• The poll will run for 72 hours, after which Whisper and I will focus on implementing it.

• If, for any reason, the winner of one of these kinds of polls needs to get delayed, the vote will be re-made.

• Other contributors are free to contribute any or none of these things. This is just what Whisper and I will focus on.

• Polls will typically have all marine options or all xeno options, to not force people to choose between the two sides. They will alternate as well to ensure that both stay balanced.

Ravager: Bring death to all that face you. Use charge to close the gap between you and a marine, and finish them off with powerful blows capable of chopping limbs clean off. Hit-and-run and frontal assaults are your bread and butter, get used to tanking damage and dealing it. You don't need to hide anymore.

Praetorian: A good all-round combatant with potent spit, the powerful Acid Ball for an area-of-effect attack, and good melee damage. Your acid line spray makes for a good cover for a retreat, as it stuns and knocks down anyone who walks into it.

Burrower: Plant weeds to support the hive and its members. Use your resin hole ability and work together with other castes (Boiler and the Praetorian) to ambush the marines or to defend the hive from an aggressive marine assault.

Carrier: Carry huggers around, allowing the Hive to impregnate new hosts on the move. Use pheromones to assist fellow Aliens.

New update: Mortars and sentries

Mortars

• You can buy them at Requisitions, starting with one for free.

• The two types of shells available at launch are the high explosive mortar shell and the flare/camera shell.

• The mortar can be used by anyone with an engineering skill of 1 (the pamphlet for it has been added as well), and they are aimed to a coordinate obtained with the rangefinder, then dialed to account for the random offset, being able to shoot very far away.

• This update also makes mortar explosions deal much more damage to structures than grenades. Mortars will be able to destroy Solaris walls with just two HE shells.

• Mortars are more inaccurate the further away they fire and need to be dialed to account for this each time their target is adjusted.

• The mortar backpack and belt will also be available to carry mortar shells. More shells will come in a future update.

Combat Technician's sentry and mini sentry

• Each combat technician gets one from their vendor for free, and they can optionally buy the upgrade kit for 15 points.

• The base sentry has more health and damage but shoots and deploys slower than the mini-sentry. The mini-sentry also doesn't block movement.

• More sentry upgrades and combat technician defensive devices will arrive in a future update. As a preview, Verm has already made two more sentry types for the next update: The Sniper and Omni sentries! There's a video attached at the bottom of this post showcasing them.

Hypospray vials

Contributed by Verm

• Hyposprays now have vials, which can be tactically reloaded using a hypo on one, or you can swap them in with a vial in hand.

• Hyposprays can now have their transfer amount adjusted.

• Hospital Corpsmen can buy vial pouches as a pouch option, which comes with 6 vials.

Crusher AOE passive, Crusher/Lurker slow on hit

Contributed by Verm

• The Crusher has had its missing AOE on attack passive added.

• The Crusher and Lurker have had their missing slow on hit added, with the Lurker's slow only applying to knocked-out marines.

New update: SL/Queen trackers, squad preference, Savannah update

A smaller but quicker update this time, as there were some bug fixes we had to publish early.

Squad Leader / Queen trackers

Contributed by ShadowCommander and DrSmugleaf

Gone are the days of not knowing where your Squad Leader is as a marine, or where the Queen is as a xenonid. A tracker on the right-hand side of the screen will now point you towards their location. See the video above for a demonstration!

These don't work with camera rotation yet (numpad 7/9), and Command still can't assign an acting SL if one dies or none join, but both will be fixed in a future update.

Squad preference

Contributed by tsp01 and DrSmugleaf

You can now choose your preferred squad before the round starts, including Bravo if you love FOB duty. This is found in the customize window under the Appearance tab.

Your role preference always takes priority, so if your role is only available in a squad that isn't your preferred one, you will get that role in that squad instead.

Savannah's briefing and hangars have been revamped, giving more room to conduct a briefing. See below for a render of the whole map.
