Breachway News

Hi everyone,

We've managed to track down and solve the issue with the soft locks happening on the second sector boss and fix some minor events-related problems.
Thank you for your patience while we fixed the save game data issues. We've pinpointed the issue and are working on a permanent fix.

Regarding balance, we've moved the fuel cost increase to the first escalation level, as it was too punishing for a new player. Additionally, we've changed some cards on the Marauder's starting loadout to make them more synergistic with the associated resource types.
The game's balance is an ongoing process, so thank you for all your feedback. If the game's launch has proven one thing, it's that you can be blind to many obvious things if you've worked on something for long enough.

Hooded Horse Publisher Sale 2024

Hi everyone,

We’ve just pushed a hotfix to resolve the soft-lock issue reported when finding the escape pod with the crewmember Wolf inside while playing as the Marauder.

I appreciate your patience.

If you have any issues to report, please use the bug reporting forum on Steam. You can also join our Discord and report your issues in our bug reporting forum. We also have a subreddit community found here.

Hi everyone,
We've got another patch packed and ready to ship! This update primarily focuses on fixes, including some that address potentially game-breaking bugs.

The primary balance adjustment is to the fuel system.

Based on your feedback, we realized the fuel prices were too low, somewhat trivializing the fuel system. To address this, we've introduced a scaling cost system.

Now, each time you purchase 1 unit of fuel from stations, the price increases by five credits (10 credits on escalation level 5+). This change should keep fuel accessible while discouraging farming the entire map.
