Metal Factions 2.04 has been released!
Subject description: A 10% bigger Ark might be what we need when things get crippled!
Welcome back, commander! Metal Factions has been recently improved with the release of Metal Factions 2.04. For those unfamiliar with it, Metal Factions is an open-source game made with the Spring RTS game engine. It's an evolving real-time strategy game with four factions: Aven, Gear, Claw, and Sphere. It features 3D terrain and units, intuitive physics with real-time simulated gravity, collision handling, and projectile trajectories. It has over 400 units, including humanoid robots, tanks, ships, aircraft, buildings, defenses, etc. The changes from Metal Factions 2.04 were announced with the following words:
morph status and upgrades also increase commander respawn costs by up to 100% (previously, this only applied to respawn time)
rebalanced commanders accounting for the difference in passive resource production and to even out relative strength of their water weapon (commanders that are slow and/or have relatively short range weapons get relatively stronger)
ECONOMY
moved +2 M/s and +20 E/s income from commanders to the baseline income (+10M/s +100E/s)
increased altitude scaling of production on wind generators from +20% to +40% but used lowest land metal spot altitude as reference
increased GEAR and CLAW solar collector energy generation from +20 to +24, reduced GEAR's HP and adjusted costs
slightly reduced how relative cost of resource production units scales with durability and mobility
reduced HP of SPHERE hardened fission reactors from 4500 to 4250 and adjusted cost
OTHER
SPHERE "Ark" is about 10% bigger and stronger in HP and dmg/s (also improved model and animations)
slightly increased slope tolerance for factories
impulse from most weapons with L damage type reduced to 30%
--- UI / Visual / Sounds
modified loading screens
slightly changed AVEN "Zeta Form" commander model, now it has a unique head
hide healthbars when UI is hidden (F5 key)
improved 3d models and trails of many rocket projectiles
