We just uploaded our a0.81 build to Steam. This one is mostly a bug fixing build. We’ll wait until Monday to see if there are any more major bugs, if there aren’t, we’ll release a few save files to help people who want to progress directly from a0.75’s storyline. If there are, we’ll release a a0.82.
The one major change in this build is that in Story mode, the player will no longer start with all minerals available for scan in the mineral scanner, you’ll need to get the app updates from other colonists (start with Chen). If you’re playing on a 0.8 save, just go buy the upgrades from Chen, Lao, and Hitomi.
