Mining System
Test Subjects, grab your pickaxes and start mining for credits! Along with the mining system, Test Subjects can now buy tools and weapons from the kitchen vendor using credits. Credits will also be used to start the Vault Heist, an in-progress feature planned to be implemented in one of the future Beta channel releases.
Outside
The outside world is here! Personnel can now evacuate to the outside during Protocol Closing Time. Hostiles will spawn in a hideout instead of inside the Base, and Test Subjects can now choose to escape the facility and be free.
Graphics Downgrade
We have downgraded the lighting technology used in Paradox Base Chiron to decrease user hardware requirements and fix multiple visual issues regarding the game's lighting. Along with this change, alarm lights suffered minor modification to look better with this change.
Content Streaming
The behavior of the game's Content Streaming (also known as chunk loading) has been changed. Instead of unloading sections of the game when the system runs out of free memory, sections will immediately unload to free up memory as soon as the player is out of its range.
This change is experimental and may cause some objects and even player characters to be invisible, or not load properly. Be sure to report any issues through our Discord server.
