It is possible I may have missed some comments or forgot about others!Given ...

Dev blogHello hello, it has been a while. Just a little over a month ago the game released in EA and it has been super busy since then. The increase in amount of bug reports and suggestions on how to improve the game as it gets a rush of players never ceases to amaze me. As a solo dev, you can plan and scheme and design and ship features, and then even test them with a small amount of playtesters ...

0.4.20 Patch Notes:* Fixed an issue where modules could result in weird behavior when replaced with other modules directly.* Fixed an issue where with enough random clicking you were able to mess up module stacks where they would eventually end up stacking as 1 instead of 5.* Fixed an exception caused by a null localization string.* Fixed an exception that happened when trying to deselect a no lon...

0.4.19 Patch Notes:* Fixed crash that happens when researching a genetic code in the main game then quit and try to do tutorial* Trail buffers now retain references to movers. They now have a max capacity of 100. If your path exceeds 100 tiles, you can always add more trail buffers on the path (or adjacent) and movers should fill up the rest of the path. This removes the need of worker bays in the...

(Picture is zoomed out so more stuff can fit in the screenshot)Link: wiki.swarmdustry.comAs the game is approaching the Early Access release date, I thought having a centralized knowledge repository about the game is an important thing. I know for myself when I play similar games, I ...
