Here’s the very highly in-progress FAQs document for v2.x.

Version 1.8

Version 1.8 has been released which adds the metal tier Upgrade, Blueprint, and Augment Stations. This update also fixes a lot of bugs and also adds some quality of life improvements such as bulk salvaging, lowered crafting requirements for some augments, item stats that were resetting after reaching a certain stat max (only affected very high INI values), and mostly importantly, the negative hyperthermic stat bug!

Primitive-Friendly Design

The original Upgrade, Blueprint, and Augment Station structures were updated by popular request to be more primitive-friendly. We understand that a lot of players play on primitive servers so hopefully this update helps fit in better with those servers. 🙂

Metal Tier Structures

Because the original structures were made primitive-friendly people started asking about metal tier structures and that got us excited to create another set of structures that is more modern, more durable, and has more inventory slots.

Bug Fixes

We fixed a lot of small bugs that have been bothering us (and probably you) for a while. Check the change log for the exact list of bugs that have been smashed!

Version 1.8 Change Log

Version 1.8i

  • Added checks to make sure item is valid before attempting upgrade, salvage, augment, and blueprint to fix crash that would happen when multiple people try to interact with the same item at the exact same time.

Version 1.8h

  • Fixed missing saddle texture.
  • Changed “Fortune Quality Skip Chance” clamp to be between 1 and 100, instead of 0 and 100. Setting this INI setting to 0 should now correctly disable the quality skip mechanic.

Version 1.8g

  • Fixed armor stat bug. (Was using hypo-/hyper-thermal multiplier.)
  • Fixed “Classic Rocket Launcher” not being upgradeable.
  • Added future compatibility with “Upgradeable Tek Rifle”. (Working on it.)

  • Removed unused files.
  • Re-cooked with the latest dev kit to fix minor UI issues that WildCard’s update(s) introduced.
  • Upgrade Station no longer removes colors when upgrading items. (Yay!)
