3.1.0-beta released!

The game has received a large update.

Changes:

• Flak no longer temporarily disable drones unless a certain condition is met.
• Stealth no longer allows regeneration unless a certain condition is met.
• Added gas, a new resource
  • Your core absorbs it when within a Gas Vortex. These will pull you and other entities towards the center and destroy entities if they get too close to it.
    • Absorbing gas shrinks the vortex and lowers the vortex’s absorption rate. You absorb gas faster the closer you are to the center and the larger the vortex is.
    • When you die, your core will lose 100 gas if you have it.
    • DeadZones spawn much larger gas vortices.
    • You can make sectors spawn gas vortices in the World Creator.
  • Abilities can now be Gas Boosted, which confer unique buffs:
    • Gas Boosting drains gas at a rate of 0.25 per second per Gas Boosted ability.
    • Most abilities get a 25% cooldown reduction with the exception of the following:
      • Damage Boost instead switches to a flat damage increase of 200 per projectile.
      • Ion tracking speed is doubled
      • Cannons will instantly destroy their targets 2% of the time.
      • Beam strikes 3 times instead of once.
      • Bullets pierce and can hit 3 enemies in total.
      • Stealth allows regeneration when active.
      • Flak projectiles temporarily disable drones.
• Added Part Fusion
  • The Fusion Station, a new entity, can be interacted with to access part fusion.
  • Fusion allows you to select two parts in your inventory. The part ID of the former and the ability data of the latter are combined to form a final part.
  • Fusion costs Fusion Energy, a new resource made by combining gas and shards
  • You do not lose any fusion energy on death
  • Fusion completes the part index entry of the final part if it is in the part index.
  • You cannot fuse shiny parts.
• Added a new mission to the main world: Gas Gas Gas, which explains gas and part fusion.
• Added Radar, a new ability
  • This ability will mark unseen sectors on the map. If you’ve seen them all, it will randomly select a sector.
  • Entering a radar-marked sector will confer to you a boost to your shiny drop rate. The more you enter, the higher your odds get up to a maximum of 10%
    • Dying, obtaining a shiny part drop, or activating radar when you already have a marked sector will reset your odds.
• Fixed Abandonment looping when you’ve completed it
• Filters/the search bar will reset when you select drones in the Drone Workshop
• Ion will now detach the part it hits rather than random parts
• The EP3 factions have had their colors tweaked.
• Floating particles now twinkle a little, have had their perspectives fixed and density adjusted
• Fixed shards becoming untargetable when dragged out of a sector
• Active regen active time 7s → 5s
• Active regen shell/energy heal per second 150 → 500
• Fixed some part index performance issues
• Added an outline to the entity name in dialogue for legibility
• Added new music courtesy of FlightWish:
  • music_fast_5
  • music_fast_6
  • music_fast_7
  • music_wc_4
  • music_overworld_4
• Added some more CoreScript features (trading inventories and gas collection detection mainly)
