{{Version Nav}}
This is a refinements and fixes update with improvements for the base game and Royalty expansion. It should be compatible with all savegames and mods. This biggest changes will be tunings designed to move deep drilling from the lategame towards the midgame and make them more viable for marginal drilling projects. As always, everything is on the table for further adjustment as we go forward.

On Steam, if you want to play the previous version for any reason, just use the Steam beta branch called ‘previous’.

We’re also working on some deeper gameplay improvements and content additions – look forward to those! However, for stability reasons those are being held back for now.

Thanks to all those who helped test on the official testing Discord server. Come join to test future releases!

==Tuning==
* Defeating a mech cluster now gives a mood boost to all player pawns on the same map.
* Reduce work cost of smelting metal from slag from 1600 to 800 (to help reduce clutter).
* Reduce uranium slug turret cost per shot from 4 to 3 and increase its damage from 45 to 50.

==Text==
* Monument quest descriptions now better handle multiple allowed floor types.
* Added more quest name content for PawnLend quests.
* Adjusted monument resource readout to include all possible floor type required resources.
