Research Tree

Hey Drifters!
We've got another small update for you all; The Research Tree
It brings dependencies and nodes with multiple unlocks, giving research a clear structure and progression path. It's a small adjustment to a more familiar research system.

What's next?

The Research Tree allows us to move forward with what we're building towards; objectives and end-game content. Next update will introduce a first step in that direction with the Hub.

Early Access 0.6.2: Research Tree

Research Tree

• Research is now contained in a tree of connected research nodes.
  
• Research now has branching dependencies. (E.g a construction that needs Metal Plates requires the Scrapsmith to be unlocked.)
  
• Research nodes can contain multiple unlocks. (E.g the Salvaging Boat and Mooring Point unlock in one node.)
  

Expertise

• Added icons for each attribute.
  
• Changed drifter duties icons to more accurately reflect the corresponding attributes.
  

Balancing

• The Desalinator no longer requires Metal Plates.
  
• The Unbottler no longer requires Eel-ectricity.
  

Localization

• Updated Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
  

Fixes

• Fixed some tooltips displaying the wrong text.
  
• Fixed some tooltips not displaying properly.
  
• Fixed issue where you could not use the duties icons to increase all drifter priorities for that duty.
  
• Fixed missing terms on landmarks.
  
• Fixed some UI elements that had localized text not displaying their localized text.
