Patch Notes 7/20/26
Warning: you probably won't be able to even launch the game! Until the game is in a playable state, this is mostly
for my own history!
Changes
Hotbar improvements
- better drag/drop of items in slots
- sub slots are hidden, unless you mouse over them
- sub slot indicator shows when item (like a battery) is empty, or when slot is empty
Fish
- draft model with vertex coloring
- basic idle movement
- swim animation from shader
- drops carbon item on death
- "live ping" rendered in radar, updates continuously instead of with regularly scans

- bullets can now damage things that they hit
- zoom with mouse wheel

Reactor
- draft model with vertex coloring
- place fuel rods and control rods into the hex grid
- fuel rods generate bonus heat when placed next to eachother
- fuel rods emit radiation when they are not next to a control rod
- control rods leave residue in surrounding hexes, that reduce heat
- draft fuel rod storage rack
Particle System
- support for different base location for each particle
- leaky water emitter uses particle system
- blow torch uses particle system

Other Minor changes
