Just need to hoard a few thousand more Nuclear Power Banks first before I update the game.

No! Not our precious gunk and crude mosaics! This is cruel and unusual treatment.

[Tigin]

A sad day indeed. Mr. Remote Worker will be even sadder when he starts drowning on reload.

Does Flydo drop them/change them before they run out of power or is that a change of "don't use Dura banks in Flydo"?

[Primalflower]

If the ambient radiation was the problem, I really would have preferred just removing that part...

But I liked em!

[mitboy]

Those are some rather sad changes, I feel like uranium powercells could have been nerfed differently

[MiniDeathStar]

I got you. Steam Workshop::[DLC] Undeprecated Nuclear Power Banks

[Lillegre]

You can still eat them, just not make them?

They still technically exist in the game, so if they're already "discovered" in your save they will show up in Consumables. This will only be an issue for saves that existed during beta; new players will not see them.

Brand new save, created after the update.

[Vertel]

Hmm. Yeah, that's a bug. Should not be happening. I would recommend filing a bug report on that one, it's easily reproducable; even upgrading an existing save shows the nuclear power banks in Consumables.

Why?

Thank you for crash fixes with Flydo & rummaging lockers and the "No Outhouse built" notif.

Was this supposed to remove the automation port as well?

Because now my dupes are making infinite rad pills...

[JRup]

The port area on the apothecary's sprite remains there, stoically:

It's waiting for it's automation to return...
