Early Access version 116

@OneWingLunarian

They attack you from anywhere

I’m sure about that. There was a time i tried to stand far away those chickens in a long time (more than 30s), but they don’t attack to me

@OneWingLunarian

Also, you have to take low firepower into consideration

@OneWingLunarian

but low fp

But… Argh, nevermind. Forget it.

[Knightcap]

Maybe mostly guys don’t take a look in this but… I see something wrong about the breed chicken with ability attack to the player (i mean, a target)
Simple i try to do my experiment between Phoenix and Chiller. At that day, i were suprised about Phoenix because it didn’t attack to me correctly. Yes, the fireball had been out of the target.
I also tried again with Chiller and UFO Chicken after few days, and they didn’t, too.
So idk is this a bug or deliberately??

Main menu theme should match the theme you’re using (I’m using black but it should match your color theme)

[Starbrockle]

While you’re on the main menu screen, you can’t apply your own theme since you aren’t logged into an account.

Should Phoenix be prevented at “Hairpin Turn” wave:

I didn’t realize there was a specific poll against it. I’ve kept them in for that wave.

@SA-GoldenBoss128

Could there be mirorred variations of:

Summary

1. “To Infinity and Beyond”.

Medal shared.

@SA-GoldenBoss128

Can you also show HUD health to Big Chicken

It’s included.

@ChickenGaming

There should be a “Travel by wormhole” option exclusively for wormholes when you click on
“Travel to star system” (Why is it not “travel to wormhole”) for wormholes

Too messy. I don’t want to deal with it.

@SA-GoldenBoss128

Their behavior is strange

This is a natural consequence of how they always lag behind in formations. I’ve disabled them. Changed in v.117 Idea

@Knightcap

something wrong about the breed chicken with ability attack to the player

It’s intended. Neither Chiller nor Phoenix perfectly target the player.

@InterAction_studios

@SA-GoldenBoss128

Can you also show HUD health to Big Chicken

It’s included.

You mean it will be included in the next version? Because right now it works at Show’em who’s boss, Chicken Multiplicity but not during Double Team.

@InterAction_studios

Medal shared.

Also why you shared the medal to Baron, lol:

And what about Slob poll:

@SA-GoldenBoss128

Should Slobs be prevented at “Hairpin Turn” wave:

[InterAction_studios]

@SA-GoldenBoss128

You mean it will be included in the next version

Yes. In v.117 it should appear everywhere.

@SA-GoldenBoss128

why you shared the medal to Baron

Corrected.

@SA-GoldenBoss128

And what about Slob poll

Removed in v.117

@Baron

Anyway, Why doesn’t coolants give any time penalties in space race? they help the player proceed faster than just overheating.

Can you check this please, it could be exploited.

[InterAction_studios]

@Baron

it could be exploited

So use them. It’s not an exploit.

[Baron]

But coolants help the player to proceed faster than waiting to fire again. if we can use them. then there is no need to add a penalty for special weapons. since they function the same.

also the penalty for coolants should be around 5 to 10 seconds to be exact. and remember that space race depends on time taken to finish. not the score.

[InterAction_studios]

@Baron

But coolants help the player to proceed faster than waiting to fire again

The same could be said for “Speedy Recovery”. Use them

[Baron]

But If we are allowed to use them to proceed faster. why there is a penalty for special weapons? they also help proceeding faster.

@MaybeOrandzaIdk

Should Corn Shotgun reaching full heat prevent you from getting the iceman medal?

It was very borderline, but I’ve reverted this change. Some reasons:

• For consistency, I’d also have to apply coolants, which made the change messy again (Early Access version 116 - #277 by InterAction_studios)
• It would overheat without showing “OVERHEAT!” (Early Access version 116 - #270 by GuestUniverse). Again, messy to fix.
• This poll Early Access version 116 - #236 by MaybeOrandzaIdk was strongly against it.
• This poll Early Access version 116 - #277 by InterAction_studios showed a non-trivial percentage of players actually practically use this quirk.

[Baron]

so you have reverted the change but did you manage to make it not trigger the Iceman medal?, also the poll results have close results between the people who used it more than once and the people who never did it.

[InterAction_studios]

@Baron

why there is a penalty for special weapons

Special weapons are much more impactful because they effectively ‘skip’ part of the wave (or the entire wave in some cases).

[PlasmaX]

If you sell something from a Shady Dealer, the keys that you get is very low, can you make it higher than usual?

[InterAction_studios]

@PlasmaX

can you make it higher than usual?

" […] Just don’t expect any refunds."

[Baron]

I have 2 questions regarding this:

1. Didn’t you say that Iceman medal should be lost if the bar is completely filled? since the medal Idea is heat management. Corn shotgun reaching %100 and still firing should really trigger restriction for the medal.

2. You asked before to report any exploit here. this counts. so why you suddenly took a choice to revert it?

Also there is important note that not all the players in the game check the forum, Which means there could be others secretly exploiting the corn ability to not overheat to get the Iceman medal and boost their score. this poll isn’t 100% accurate. as the results between the people who never exploited and the people who exploited it is close.

and besides, Iceman medal alone can do any difference in competitive missions.

Please take all the notes above into consideration. but I won’t protest against the revert.

[Abyss]

coolants aren’t going to make much of a difference.
unless you’re gonna spend like 200 keys on them to get like barely top 1? for 150 keys hell yeah that’s worth
not to mention that accumulator barely overheats

[MaybeOrandzaIdk]

@Baron

You asked before to report any exploit here. this counts. so why you suddenly took a choice to revert it?

Presumably because everyone other than you wanted to revert the change.
