Update #2 - Train unit unlock conditions, bugfixes, QoL
Hey everyone!
We've been listening, reading and talking to you! First of all it's incredible to see how the game's being played, enjoyed and talked about.
We've noticed that some of the unlock conditions for early and mid-term carriages were much more difficulty and "playstyle" dependent than we anticipated when we designed them, this update brings tweaks to Leeter, Bullet and Crane, to position them to an earlier point, and most importantly not having them locked behind a tactical positioning playstyle.
In addition to the above we've also picked up on feedback regarding the "Corruption" mechanic on higher Fog levels which received tweaks to make it less punishing so it retains the essence of mods being generally a system to tweak the deck rather than straight out unpleasant.
Lastly the update also features fixes for issues reported to us since the last patch! We're working on more of course prioritising stability and critical fixes for now to ensure the game plays well. We have plans for the updates that are coming afterwards, super excited for those, stay tuned!

(a region controlled by Mistfits, and malfunction not in the slot of supply drop reward!)
Overall with the update the initial progression in units should feel swifter and more approachable while the higher fog levels' corruption more interesting.
