Prospector: The First Contract Patch Notes — August 7, 2024
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
🛠Improvements & Changes
- Supply lines always provide energy and oxygen
- Supply lines can only connect to other supply lines or structures that have both power and oxygen
- Power routers that provide power and oxygen to connected structures now show a white bubble at their center
- A visual hitch resulting from redistribution of power through lines when placing a new line or a new structure has been significantly reduced, and in most cases no longer exists
- Supply lines now have a minimum distance with other supply lines and additional feedback is shown when placing a line if it is too close to another line
📝Additional notes
- Current supply line placement will still work even if it violates the new minimum distance rule
- While the supply line refactor is a big performance improvement, there is still a separate hitching issue resulting from general power distribution through power routers that needs to be addressed. This patch is effectively half the problem solved.
