[OVERHAUL - USES HYPERSPACE] FTL: MULTIVERSE Version 5.4.4 Orchids Revamped

[TheMultiverseTeam]

Ok thx, lots of changes this time, looking forward to it

Edit: Just started a run before, selected HARD and the second highest setting for your difficulty, where the fleet gets a head start with 1 jump (CHALLENGE if i remember correctly?)
So i just finished sector 3 and in none of them there was a fleet catching up!? Is this on all of your difficulty settings!? Because then i´m going back to version 4.3 ...

This was just reported in the discord, its a vanilla bug where fleet delay gets carried over... I assume you started a run on sandbox first, because thats what seems to be causing the issue. Just restart the game and dont select sandbox and it should be fine

Mods is awesome, is there anywhere I can donate?

Though Im honored you want to donate, there isn't a place currently and I don't think I'll ever make one.

[Mositron]

Yeah youre right, messed a little bit around with sandbox mode before. Now it´s running fine.
What is the hotfix for!?

[TheMultiverseTeam]

Hotfix fixes the crash when enemies were using manager drones (something that was added in 4.4)... it seems the game just won't let enemies use them, even when I gave them a special variant. Also has a few smaller fixes like the rusty Pegasus on Augmented C having no sprite or the smuggler civilian transport having floating weapons.

[Mositron]

Do you plan to update the elite ships anytime soon!?
Always liked to throw a fun run in between with those ships

[TheMultiverseTeam]

Inevitably yes, but it usually takes a while because I'm busy developing the base mod, and with each update usually something changes that might mess up the elite ships, so I usually wait until there's an update where nothing will break them again.

[TheMultiverseTeam]

[Mositron]

The command to unlock all ships doesnt work anymore!? Any other way? Profile editor still not working for me...


Edit: Ah it just doesnt work if you reset your profile in the main menu, before as long as i was ingame the ships were still there...nevermind


Edit²: Just had the event with the crash site (?) where you can either grab the extinguishers, grab scrap and a third option. When i grabbed the extinguishers it just says error (you shouldnt see this)
Let´s see if i can sell it in a shop


Edit³: In the Ancient Sector when i get the Payload Bomb after winning a fight it doesn´t show up in my inventory, happened twice. Also i don´t get the harbinger drone which was shown after a fight, if i remember correctly it was always at ruin beacons.

[TheMultiverseTeam]

Yeah, both the fire extinguisher bug and the ruin bugs were reported. Unfortunately, my patch for the ruins that was supposed to be in the hotfix didn't work, but at least its working now for 4.7. Extinguishers are fixed for 4.7 too, but at least they'll still function despite being called ERROR.

If the ruins thing happens again, you can console in the items bellow with the following console commands (press L to open the console);
If it's a Director - DRONE DIRECTOR
If it's a Mender - DRONE MENDER
If it's a Harbinger Laser - WEAPON ANCIENT_LASER

[didimegadudu]

please remove the button that destroys the ship if pressed, gotten from a slug, it left a sour taste in my mouth. either let the button explode my ship to 1 health, or if you destroy the ship it makes the person not want to play the game
