@mered4 !!!


Jables, how does the PTE work on steam? Does it overwrite the stable?

Right click -> properties -> Betas -> select "pte"

that should get you set up for it. you may need to verify files to get it to update to pte build. It should not overwrite stable.

• Laser Tower:
  • Metal Cost decreased to 450 from 350

i think u ment 550 or something for its old metal value since 450 from 350 is an increase?

Time: 3am.
Decision: Go to sleep or play PTE...

Such an awesome PTE, sankyuuu!

There is a few typos actually silly jables forgot how to English!

copy/pasting check in notes will fix the typos tomorrow when the designers are in again.

2am
Download finished.

Also:
wow navy unit sizes reduced
wow bombers are now a target priority
wow some form of auto economy management
wow...


now do something about "energy cost of t1 engineers too high" and "we have no wrecks" and a bunch of other things. But you are on the right track for sure!

Does this also work on engineers? I think it would be helpful to have on any kind of resource consuming "thing"

AA's gonna chew those boom bots up

how much health do have units in flight actually have? Does the drop pod protect them? Or is it just the flying unit?

my unit cannon is not working......

AA doesn't do much to Slammer though.

I'm not sure, but I suspect their health is the unit health. I had no trouble dropping Slammers in AI commander base despite all the AA towers. Only the first Slammer landed with almost no health left.

My god.

Uber is changing the balance in a significant way.

Someone pinch me.

Let me just get my chair.

When will system editor and lobby fixes come? And also the recent "No spawns" bug?

Anyway I can't wait to test it, as long as no more bugs are added.

Sorry, I can't brain this right now, can somebody please elaborate. Is there additional UI controls or is this blanket for all fabbers that are starved of a particular resource?
