Summary (AI)

Patch 1.0 for Fracture Field makes several changes to progression and quality of life. The Drone Hub and Quarry Foreman now persist across Reality Shatter, keeping their configurations and upgrades, while certain redundant upgrades have been removed. Confirmation popups have been added for key actions, and the Quarry Stats tab now allows base stat previews by hovering icons. Several balancing tweaks increase upgrade multipliers and rock layer toughness to maintain gameplay depth. Additionally, a bug affecting drone priorities has been resolved, and the 1000-hour achievement has been removed.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
