Alpha v0.24 release notes


Helixteus 3 Alpha v0.24 (17 Apr 2022) 

Aka, the cave update

- New tile feature: volcanoes, they boost ME production and plant yield. They're not that common, so you might have to look for a bit, but they will be powerful if you find them early! Hint: volcano spawn probability is inversely proportional to star temperature. You can also artifically create volcanoes by mining a tile to the center of a planet. Also, volcanoes buff nearby caves in many different ways. Volcano caves can even be combined with an aurora for the most op cave ever
- Lava in caves, they spawn right from floor 1 in volcano caves and from floor 12 in normal caves
- 31 rover enhancements added. You can get them by spending rover enhancement points, which you get from a sufficiently high level RCC
- 7 new exploration achievements, related to caves
- Maximum depth of caves increased
- Slightly better rover graphics
- Several new "death" messages for rover, depending on how and where it gets destroyed
- Replaced enemy projectile size cave modifier with enemy size
- Blue cave enemies more OP: their projectiles fire faster and now bounce off walls instead of just disappearing
- Auroras no longer affect chest tier, it was too OP. However they now make rarer metals more common (both in rocks and in chests)
- All enemies in aurora caves now have special attack variants
- Purple enemies added in battle and in caves. Purple enemies in battle are untested, so it will definitely be broken
- Expanded in-game wiki to include various formulas
- Element overlay configuration now saves
- "Universe value" property nerfed again
- Dimension menu made a bit more beginner friendly, and changed bonuses for dimensional power
- Universes have 1000 superclusters instead of 8000
- Starting supercluster has 200 clusters instead of 600
- A setting to show op cursor
