Patch - 1.3.1.7 · Cepheus Protocol update for 22 September 2023

Gameplay HUD Progress:

Range Finder System: When having a unit selected and hovering over an enemy the game will show you if the current unit can see the target and how much closer you would need to get to shoot/attack. This expands to vehicle weapons as well!

If your experiencing crashes/instability please try a Steam Verify/Display Drivers update before contacting us.

Patch Notes

New menu clock SFX added
Custom Game settings added for Starting DNA
Custom Game Settings added for setting the cost of Shreader rounds
Fixed Shredder Rounds purchase just consuming money instead of DNA
Added a 'Playtime' indicator on save slot widgets
Updated the Weapon Range Indicator's visuals to indicate being blocked by 'shortening' the lit up part of the bar to match the block location
Added 'in-garrison' weapon range displays, for units that can shoot out of garrisons.If their 'angle lock' stops them from shooting (i.e. their seat won't let them turn that far), they will not show the range indicator
Weapon Range Indicators now have different colors if representing multiple weapons on a single unit
Weapon range indicators for multi-weapon unit setups now have slight offsets (to indicate the separate weapons and their ranges)
Crashfix added for multi-weapon unit setups for weapon range indicators
Updated the main water tile in the Calypso landscape to use the WaterBodyCollision and not be set to be 'step up on' enabled (hopefully stops units sometimes thinking that's valid land to 'land on' during safety checks?)
Removed laser sights and vision visualization 'cones' for characters
Tracked down a broken reference in the ShopsCanvas that was preventing Civilian Admin sub-buildings from being buildable
Made spacing more consistent on the recruit popup
Updated splash
