Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
- Fixed an issue where the Trap on Neral was appearing without a texture.
A new hotfix update to address several crashes, map progression issues, and UI bugs. Thank you for continuing to report issues and share your feedback with us.
Here is what has been updated in this patch:
Bug Fixes
Fixed a crash when the resupply beam-down sent crew to a spot they couldn’t walk to. The beam-down now refuses those spots and shows where crew can’t reach.
Fixed a broken X’Lehari Schism Generator after finishing its point of interest on maps 2 and 3. Sometimes it landed on blocked ground and was saved half-built. It now looks for room before it appears, and saves that already have the broken generator get it placed when they load.
Fixed autosaves failing at dawn, which also blocked travel, after loading a manual save made on a different map.
Fixed an error when deleting a walkway.
Fixed an error when opening Resource Transfer while your only Cargo Shuttle Pad was still being built.
Fixed an error when a Battery or Fusion Generator was repaired.
Fixed errors when quitting the game.
Voyage Map
Outpost stats now show each planet’s own outpost. Before, only Daegus showed stats, and they were the current outpost’s numbers. The grade no longer reads one too high. Crew, morale and day appear once you’ve played that planet in this version.
After you finish the story, the Tetryon Rift and its navigation button are removed from the Voyage Map.
Fixed the Voyage Map sidebar staying empty and errors when clicking planets after the story ends.
Building Upgrades
Upgrade wireframes and visual changes now show for the Medical Unit, Organics Collector, Shield Emitter and Tetryon Particle Stabilization.
Settings & UI
Depth of Field is back in the settings.
Fixed the Graphics settings showing on top of General settings when you open Settings.
The Settings background is wider, so the game no longer shows at its edges on ultra-wide screens or at smaller UI scales.
Story & Text
The in-game guide now explains the systems more clearly, in English and all 7 other languages.
Fixed typos in dialogue, including “of coruse” in the Tetryon Trap objective and the Stabilizer Part 3 dialogue, and the formatting of the first Captain’s Log on Neral.
Shortened the delay before the research rock cinematic.
Bug Fixes
Networks & Data Layer
- Hovering over a power or water source in the network overview now displays a tooltip for every building in that network’s cluster, rather than just the buildings wired directly to it.
- When a network is over capacity, the network overview bars now reflect the compute, power, or water each building actually receives, rather than its maximum usage.
Missions
- Loading an older save no longer triggers planetary habitat and food supply mission updates prematurely. Older saves will also receive the new teaching moments, while comms that already played early will not repeat.
Buildings & Construction
- Construction arms no longer clip into buildings—including the Long Range Pad—during construction and upgrades.
- The Tetryon Particle Stabilization upgrade now displays its previously missing visual changes.
- The deconstruction progress icon and countdown timer now remain visible when a building is switched off.
- Upgraded Organics Collectors no longer permanently display the outdated “Unable to plant seeds” status. Affected buildings will have this status cleared upon loading a save.
UI
- Hovering over a resource icon in a Deposit’s storage now displays the full ship and planet storage breakdown, rather than just the resource name.
- Fonts are now consistent across all info panels.
- Titles no longer get cut off when selecting a Custom phrase in English and most other supported languages.
- Updated Game Guide screenshots to reflect the current UI.
Bug Fixes

- Fixed an issue with the Caves of Neral where they could not be investigated.
- Tetryonic Hyposprays will now heal exposed crew.

- Fixed an issue where Resonating Caves dialogues would repeat.
- Extractors no longer show uncollected resources value as 0.
- Six Rings Military Base is no longer invisible.
- Crew Mess no longer considered open when injured or dead crew were assigned to it. This caused an issue where crew would go to eat, but couldn’t lower hunger.
- Vehicles should no longer stay in place when switching planets, resulting in crew having to walk to them.
- Tooltip on Day/Night Timer in HUD properly matches the time of day.

We’ve updated the demo experience with the following changes:
Bug Fixes -
Resource Crates won't be placed in unreachable spots anymore
Added a missing resource icon when clicking on the anomaly
Fixed an issue where notifications could sometimes appear broken or not bring the camera to the event
Improvements -
Resupplies now happen at a faster pace but with less resources. This will let you add new crew faster
Early buildings are now cheaper, faster to build
Rocks are now easier to investigate, and even faster for Science officers
Metal is now collected even faster by crew members assigned to the Metal Collector
Reduced the sound level of tricorders during investigation, sorry about your ears!
Reordered the buttons at the bottom left of the screen so the Crew Overview is closest to the main view
The Shifts game guide does a better job at explaining why your crew must use shuttles to travel between the ship and the planet
The camera at the start of the game will now be pointing towards a metal-rich area to make it easier to find
You only need to find one of the three beacons at the start of the game to complete the explore objective
In addition we’ve added some under-the-hood gadgetry that will greatly improve how we diagnose future bugs!
