[h1]Dear tinkerers,[/h1]
this update we have the full spectrum for you: Character reworks, several new modules and an all-new module type with the Generator Upgraders. This will change the dynamics on your racks quite a bit.
As usual, [b]thank you[/b] to everybody who is playing Rogue Voltage in Early Access.
Special thanks to the lovely [url=https://discord.com/invite/bGpnfJFUPj][b]Discord Community[/b][/url] which constantly gives great feedback, posts fresh ideas, helps brainstorming for new content and reports bugs. Everybody is [url=https://discord.com/invite/bGpnfJFUPj][b]invited to join[/b][/url]. Come nerd out with us!
Rogue Voltage is still [b]15% off during Steam Summer Sale[/b]. Tell your friends!
[h2][b]CHARACTER REWORKS:[/b][/h2]
[list]
[*] [b]Plasma Mech[/b] was in a weird spot between under- and overpowered (depending who you asked).
I removed the Austerity Cells from its starting loadout (they still drop as loot) and replaced them with the all-new [b]Plasma Combustion Sensor[/b]. This should finally encourage you to burn that plasma!

[*] [b]Asha[/b] is certainly among the most difficult characters to play. I personally like her a lot for her combo-kills.
She now has an all-new [b]Accelerating Screen[/b]. Less time between all combatant's turns means more overlap to slice the enemies!

[h2][b]NEW GENERATOR UPGRADERS:[/b][/h2]
I've been analyzing what you folks are picking for loot, and the result is clear: You love to use upgrader modules to enhance your stuff.
I do too, so I'm bringing you even more ways to upgrade.
These 3 new modules put a +1 Upgrade onto a generator, but also apply them with a debuff.
[list]
[*] [b]Generator Upgrader: Storm[/b] is a nice Nomad enabler.

[*] [b]Generator Upgrader: Grav. Recoil[/b] is great for self-deceleration strategies (here's lookin' at you, Jess)

[*] [b]Generator Upgrader: Hazardous[/b] is tricky. Don't get too greedy!

[*] [b]Explosive Generator[/b] is a powerful new generator with a bomb drawback (... or more material for the trash compactor -_- )

[list]

[/list]
[h3]KNOWN BUGS (that I still couldn't fix this update):[/h3]
[list]
[*] Sometimes the collider of a collector module gets deactivated so you can't click it to wire. Move the module to make it work again.
[*] Saving in camp rerolls jack colors in shop.
[*] Sometimes a module's tooltip doesn't disappear normally
[*] Storage inductor sometimes put energy only after the regeneration cell already fired
[*] The game crashes when exiting after a longer playsession

[/list]
