About the Game
When your ship becomes damaged, you must send drones to the surface of an unknown planet to build the facilities necessary for repairs. Guided by ELAINE, your onboard AI, you will build, automate, survive, and thrive. But is there more to learn from this mysterious world?
Desynced is an automation game without belts. Drones connected to your logistics network will automatically fill orders to move material around your base. Set up mining operations and factories, expand your logistics network to cover more area, manage power generation and storage, and more. When you need a more custom solution, tailor the behavior of your facilities and bots using customizable parameters, or dive into drag-and-drop scripting for maximum control.
⚙️Automate
Intricate Resource Management: Master the art of resource management, production chains, and automation to ensure the survival and prosperity of your base. Every decision counts as you strive to maintain a delicate balance in this hostile world.
🤖 Customize
Fully Customizable Units: Desynced uses drones instead of belts. Equip them with tools fit for their purpose, or program advanced behaviors using a drag and drop editor. Tailor units to your playstyle and adapt to the challenges that await.
🔬 Research
In-Depth Technology Tree: Dive into a deep research system that will expand your technological prowess. Unlock new possibilities, develop advanced units and structures, and gain an edge over your foes as you unravel the secrets of this captivating world.

Make player built Command Center bots have deployment functionality (matching player built human Landers)
Mothership Repair, return the repair ingredient required most, instead of ingredient order
Item tooltip: List integrated production/mining components as "<COMPONENT> on <BUILDING/UNIT>" instead of just the name of the integrated component alone

Fix Lua error getting logged when destroying the Anomaly Base right as it is executing a "Make Producer" instruction
Make map setting unlocked at the end of the main game story only appear when customizing settings on the main 'Freeplay' scenario (or a modded version of it)
Even if the map setting was unlocked at the end of the main game story in the full game, don't show the option when playing the demo version afterwards (as it doesn't do anything in the demo)

Remove race color backgrounds behind icons of integrated components in the unit interface
Fixes
Fix a ranged Item Transporter on a building potentially taking an order too early when a moving unit has started to move into the range but has not fully reached the tile yet, thus leading to the order getting aborted after being picked up because the target is actually out of range

Bring back Metal Bar, Metal Plate and Reinforced Plate to list of productions of Reforming Pool which was mistakenly removed in the last patch
Bring back unlocking of the Transformer item for alien player factions when a human explorable is unlocked with Crystalized Obsidian which was mistakenly removed in the last patch

Undo the change from ver. 1.0.18055 where by default new constructions of non-square buildings start rotated to be wider than tall
Behavior instruction 'Get Unit Info': Make querying width/height of a unit/building type return the actual values of the underlying data (instead of having width always return the larger of the two numbers) - this is to make sure the numbers match with what the 'Place Construction' instruction will build with its default rotation
Add 400 recently added and modified strings temporarily localized via machine translation
Fixes
Fix logging of a Lua warning when opening the Codex
Fix logging of a Lua error when double clicking the Program Start node in the behavior editor
Experimental 1.0.18087

Fix construction site being placed on top of dropped item potentially duplicating components with attached meta data (like a charged shield) (regression of 1.0.18020)
Experimental 1.0.18055
Changes
Behavior instructions 'Loop Signal', 'Switch', 'Memory Sift': Removed separate button to invert condition and added more modes to cover inversions
Behavior instructions 'Loop Signal', 'Switch', 'Memory Sift': Experimental branch breaking changes: Due to rearranging of the comparison modes, behaviors that used Fully Equal/Data Equal/Destroyed Reference need to be updated \[!]
By default start new constructions of non-square buildings rotated to be wider than tall (to match names like 2x1 or 3x2)

Experimental 1.0.18044
Changes
Treat the movement distance number of the GOTO register set to infinity as infinitely large (not 0)
Make a drone which has its GOTO register explicitly set to 1 not automatically dock (until now docking was done with both 1 and the default 0)
Behavior instruction 'Lock Item Slots': When locking all slots, instead of being limited to storage slots, make it affect slots matching the type of the item being set (i.e. Storage or Gas)
Behavior instruction 'Unlock Item Slots': When unlocking all slots, instead of being limited to storage slots, make it affect slots of all types
Fixes
Fix visibility and power range visualization circles becoming stuck when switching the selected unit (i.e. by pressing a shortcut group key or back space or shift-clicking a register with a target reference) while hovering a component socket or item slot
Make hovering an item slot show an arrow of the order related to the hovered item slot instead of visualizing any order that targets the currently selected unit/building
Show range of light components in the tooltip and visualize it in the world when hovering the mouse on an equipped light component
Trigger blight discovery even if the faction has no player logged in
Fix unequipping a Blight Charger component on alien and bug units disabling their inherent blight shielding

Fixes
Fix internal API change to Tool.NewRegisterObject and register:Init to correctly set a number even if the value was empty, affecting a few instructions
