Build 125

[rob]

Hello, Brave Testers, and welcome to build 125. Changes include:

* Add craftable wormhole opening items
* Add 'Lucent Chamber' wormhole and its portal opening item
* Make item-opened wormholes last 15 seconds
* Make warp gate wormholes last 30 seconds
* Add core healing script for region boss redoubts
* Increase average fortress difficulty for yellow, orange, red regions
* Make green tiles drop from MX:10 and Q7

For 2 Omnium and 2 Polymatter you can now open a wormhole to the Lucent Chamber, which is a room crammed full of Drill Stations, Butchers and the bosses from the other wormhole dungeons. You must be outside of town and not standing on other players in order to open the Lucent Chamber.

The hitpoint revamp continues to give us trouble; expect it in the next build. We are going to take a couple of weeks off for the holidays. We'll see you next year!

Haha I really want that HP update to happen because I never noticed how the HP dropped off like that until now. But cool update and happy holidays!

I'm not quite sure what this means.
Does that mean that going straight for the core is the only way to kill region bosses now? Or vice versa?

If you can get enough DPS you can still kill the core first, but the point of the update is to make it a better strategy to kill the outer redoubts first so they won't heal the core.

Had a subcom square disappear while clearing it:




After clearing the forts in it:




Not sure why it happened, but I believe it was right after clearing the last fort in that supply cache that didn't disappear.

I teleported to a town and found myself trapped inside of an Isolator unit:
