Showing 1-6 of 6 entries
Update: 3 Mar @ 5:26am

Version 1.0.5

Changes:
- Tiny Shields can now increase the radius of Bubble Shields by 1m each.

Version 1.0.4

Changes:
- Modified the battery storage of Bubble Shields so that they work better with mods that transfer energy.

- Modified how the penetration resistance bonus of Tiny Shields is displayed in Bubble Shields.
- Restricted a bit how Tiny Shield penetration resistance bonus is applied to prevent some exploits.
