  • New menu clock SFX added
  • Custom Game settings added for Starting DNA
  • Custom Game Settings added for setting the cost of Shreader rounds
  • Fixed Shredder Rounds purchase just consuming money instead of DNA
  • Added a 'Playtime' indicator on save slot widgets
  • Updated the Weapon Range Indicator's visuals to indicate being blocked by 'shortening' the lit up part of the bar to match the block location
  • Added 'in-garrison' weapon range displays, for units that can shoot out of garrisons.If their 'angle lock' stops them from shooting (i.e. their seat won't let them turn that far), they will not show the range indicator
  • Weapon Range Indicators now have different colors if representing multiple weapons on a single unit
  • Weapon range indicators for multi-weapon unit setups now have slight offsets (to indicate the separate weapons and their ranges)
  • Crashfix added for multi-weapon unit setups for weapon range indicators
  • Updated the main water tile in the Calypso landscape to use the WaterBodyCollision and not be set to be 'step up on' enabled (hopefully stops units sometimes thinking that's valid land to 'land on' during safety checks?)

  • Tracked down a broken reference in the ShopsCanvas that was preventing Civilian Admin sub-buildings from being buildable
  • Made spacing more consistent on the recruit popup
