There goes my free time for the next few weeks… ;)

Have a look at the steam announcement, the beta channel on steam is now open too :)

"Simplify SDL gamma calculation and restore default gamma on exit."

OMG I love you, this is what kept me from playing lately

Praise the Dark God!

All glory to the Dark God!

I do look forward to seeing what many of the changes actually are. I think my favorite change I see on there is the being able to use health in place of Vim, since that always seemed like something that would fit so well with Vim. Also looking forward to seeing what the various class tweaks are.

Having consumables for emergencies has saved me more than once, so I always appreciate this addon. All the rods are too common (I've found three in one high-level zone, but I dunno how the "rarity" number works so I'm loath to tinker) but it's better than having a trap you can't disarm by a pedestal you want to activate and no trap-disarming vanilla rod showing up. The "m" menu gets a little cluttered, too, because apparently an entry for every rod you've ever touched stays there, even if you never moved it out of the chest. Can't see where in the addon that would be fixed, though, so maybe it's just a TE4 engine problem with the way the rods are implemented. Can't fault the addon for that.

Anyhow, definitely a little unbalancing just by its nature, but I still wouldn't like to play without it.

Thanks for the feedback (and the compliments at the end). I just redid the meteor tree in the most recent update, so it's not as well tested as the rest. I'm usually on Nightmare With Randbosses anyway.

Running the numbers, it looks like Meteor Bombardment is contributing far too much at high talent levels.
Meteor Storm is also a little too strong given the lack of downsides.
I'll turn them both down one way or another.

Quick bug/maybe bug notes- Planetary Charge: Kolal effect action speed display shows 0% (effect works though). Icy Block has a cooldown of 2 (!) which I'm guessing wasn't intended?

....and this isn't a criticism, just an observation, is that rares, uniques, and bosses with astromancer powers tend to absolutely slaughter my characters with their meteors. It's my fault -- I like to play insane, madness, and the Everything is Unique mod, so I see a lot of rares, uniques, and bosses -- but I've had characters that could wipe the floor with some very powerful opponents sent fleeing, or dying, since it can happen very quickly, from any astromancer with meteors. I've tried playing the astromancer a few times and never quite worked up that level of destruction, but I didn't play with real dedication. So I couldn't say whether it's overpowered for PCs, just that somehow NPCs are absolutely deadly. So now I turn the mod off if I'm not playing an astromancer myself.

Just to end this one a positive -- and truthful, let me be clear -- note, I think the class is a very interesting one and clearly had a lot of work and thought put into it. I have absolutely nothing but good things to say in that regard.

Why would a special attack (the confusion one) be wrapped into the same skill as a basic sliing mastery?? It makes it a no-brainer... Also, not sure that so much distance-attacking trees are actually needed by a missile combatant. Less Psi points are OK as, being missile-based you can just shhot away at enemy melee combatants so needing less special attacks.

Sweet stuff!
Any plans on the mobile port on Android? Like I said years ago I strongly believe the game would sell well on mobile if it's somehow possible to make a proper port of the game.

And the fact that I haven't had a proper computer in years so I haven't gotten to play the game anymore.

Good catch on Cat requirements, will fix in next update!

Considering options to re-introduce Track mechanics in the future.

I switched the trees around a bit based on forum comments about keeping theme-heavy talents on the Class-side.
