1.9.5 (2024-02-09)
LUNAR NEW YEAR UPDATE

- added lanterns to dome during lunar new year. As always, you can disable seasonal content in the options if you don't like it.

1.9.1 (2023-12-19)
- Added support for mouse controls, configurable and re-bindable via Options
- Added twin stick support for gamepad
- Added various Christmas themed bits:
New unlockable pet and skin for the Assessor (find a gift chamber and win the run to unlock them)
New themed title music
Snow weather happening across all maps
Drillbert skin
As always you can turn all this off via options
- Added sounds for pets when you return to dome
- Improved snow weather effect
- Assessor spheres now also play resource-dependent sounds
- Assessor bundle moves twice as fast when using bundle guidance
- Made some parts of the game easier to mod by making dictionaries variables instead of constants
- added mine view to prestige mode
- fixed long standing bug with external gamepads on steamdeck and with gamepads being detected twice. You need to activate "automatic detection of preferred gamepad" then. Up until now, on some controllers the sticks of the other gamepad would still create input events, messing with the directional control. This is now fixed and should work properly.
- fixed chinese languages having a wrong name in the language selection (referring to the letters instead of the language)
- fixed slots in caves and supplement chamber that take one resource actually also adding this resource to the inventory
- fixed prestige mode accidentally spawning way harder waves in the late waves (most notable at 50+)
- fixed artillery moving to the side when exiting while using mouse
- fixed custom cursor sometimes showing even if turned off
- fixed auto cannon shooting too low when aiming at worm
1.9.0 (2023-11-06)
V3.0.3 LIVE NOW!
Hey, Keepers! The latest update, which includes the Double Dome Update, is now live! SO make sure to update your game. Once updated, your game version number should be 3.0.3.
The Artillery Dome wields the greatest fire power of any dome to date, and is sure to make short work of any monster when used right. It comes equipped with a mortar firing high explosive shells as well as a fast firing anti air machine gun.
The Tesla Dome is nothing short of electrifying, literally, and it is the only dome that allows you to aim freely in both dimensions. With this dome you can place Electro Orbs around your dome for defense and zap those monsters before they even reach your dome.
Did you ever wish that you could use Dome Hardening on the Sword Dome instead of the Laser dome? With Dome Supplements, you can! We’ve removed some of the dome upgrades from the Tech Tree, and replaced them with “Supplements” which are additional upgrades that can go into already existing upgrade tracks for your dome. You find these supplements by uncovering a new chamber containing a power core, similar to how you would find gadgets.
Oh and another thing: if you’ve changed your dome ability control key bindings you might find that they have reverted back to the default after updating. Since we added the Artillery Dome we needed to make room for the secondary fire ability in the keybindings, and if the keybindings have been changed from the default that could cause a conflict.
Read the full changelog below!

1.8.4 (2023-08-23)
Hello, Keepers!
Thank you for your reports around some issues with worlds in palettes. We have two bugs fixed with this patch that could cause you to play the same world over and over again, and also let you play worlds you didn't unlock yet.
Please let us know if you see any other issues like that.
Changelog V.2.6.3
- Fixed worlds already showing up in relic hunt that you hadn't unlocked yet
- Fixed getting stuck playing the same world and palette over and over again after some specific game loading situations
- If some mod content was used in the loadout screen and the mod was later unsubscribed to, it should revert to default options instead of showing an empty space now
1.8.3 (2023-08-01)
Changelog V2.6.2
- Fixed achievement "Thorough" for mining map completely not triggering
- Fixed assessor not being able to pick up dropped gadgets inside dome
- Fixed music cycles being one-off
- Fixed prestige score hud showing 0 as total when multiplier was zero (for countdown)
- Fixed prestige score hud adding a plus sing in front of negative changes (like +-2 instead of -2)
- Fixed exploit around friendly mode
- Fixed some false positives of cheat detection in countdown mode
1.4.1 (2023-01-19)
- fixed monsters not getting hit by laser, if there is a projectile between monster and laser
- fixed destroyed projectiles still catching the laser, allowing projectiles behind it to pass through
- fixed only ever seeing world 1 after unlocking the second one
1.4.0 (2023-01-09)
toned down the stag
1000hp -> 800hp
10 dmg air projectile -> 8 dmg air projectile
100 dmg ground projectile -> 80 dmg ground projectile
toned down the scarab
1200hp -> 1000hp
40 dmg -> 25 dmg
only goes invincible once
increased sword dome health by 25%
reworked the Javelin. The sword now reappears immediately after shooting, and you are never blocked from moving the pad after shooting. The tradeoff is you can no longer control the Javelin in flight. To keep the timing, the charging does take slightly longer. To improve feedback on charging being finished, it no longer charges linearly and ends with a sound and animation.
buffed sword fast stab damage across all upgrades
fixed orchard shield not actually protecting from stag and scarab projectiles
orchard shield now also blocks worm rocks
tree seed won't grow on indestructible tiles anymore
halved the cost increase of buying lift orbs repeatably

fixed stag and scarab projectiles not getting reflected by sword dome
increased damage and size of explosion of projectiles that got reflected by sword dome
fixed scarab getting stuck outside of screen
improved the timing of the scarab losing its arms
fixed stun laser sometimes not targeting stag
fixed stun laser sometimes wobbling in place instead of targeting an enemy
