Summary (AI)
Sludgineers patch 00.01 introduces a new Refinery Processing upgrade that further reduces wait times, lowering the minimum processing time to 60 seconds at level 2. The cost of higher tier upgrades has been reduced by roughly 10%, while Drone Capacity and Speed upgrades now cost around 30% less in Draxine and Money. Refined Resources obtained from Safes have increased by 250%. The developers are currently focusing on improving late-game performance issues for the next update and plan to address reported bugs and Steam Deck control problems in a subsequent patch.
