DIRECT ANSWER

Official change summary

Loading and startup stability improved. Level 2 Resource Transfer Stations gained hauling drones; Ore Refinery and Wood Processing Plant outputs joined resource transfer.

Batch dismantling was added for foundations and decorations. Friendly soldier collision became less obstructive, while enemies became harder to push through.

Failed-capture protection decreased from 10 seconds to 5 seconds; non-capturable targets no longer incorrectly receive this protection.

Remaining Sub-Healthy sudden-death cases were fixed, following AG-27's illness-based trait change.

Soldier aging, controller interaction and Steam Deck input received fixes; VRAM consumption was reduced.

The developer identified deeper colony simulation, co-op, major systems and new content as future development priorities, not features delivered by this patch.

Related systems and next steps

Issue

Loading Stuck

ST-11 improves loading stability and ST-24 addresses loading timeouts and crashes. If loading still stalls, record whether it occurs on startup, save load or scene transition and preserve the affected save.

Issue · Evidence limited

Game Not Launching

A complete current-build answer for Game Not Launching is not established by the sources reviewed on September 26, 2026. Use the verified related records below; no unconfirmed values or procedure are presented as game facts.

System

Hauling Drones

Resource Transfer Station Level 2 gained hauling drones in ST-11. Do not confuse this upgrade with basic Warehouse delivery: ST-24 removed the Level 2 requirement for hauling to Warehouse.

Building

Ore Refinery

Ore Refinery was added to Resource Transfer Station handling in ST-11. If refined output stays at the building, investigate the transfer connection and worker route before treating the refinery's production rate as the cause.

Building

Wood Processing Plant

Wood Processing Plant joins Resource Transfer Station handling in ST-11. Diagnose logs arriving, processing finishing and output being collected as separate stages; an output backlog can be a hauling issue.

System

Batch Dismantling

ST-11 adds batch dismantling for foundations and decorative buildings. ST-24 fixes continuous-demolition clicks unintentionally removing multiple foundations; the notes do not extend batch removal to all production or storage buildings.

Issue

Soldier Collision

ST-11 reduces friendly soldiers blocking the Leader and makes enemies harder to push through. This directional collision adjustment is not a promise that every path obstruction is resolved.

System

Failed Capture

Failed capture briefly protects the target from being killed; ST-11 sets the window to 5 seconds, down from 10. AG-14 states that Leader melee attacks bypass it. This is kill protection, not guaranteed-success or pity protection.

Trait

Sub-Healthy

Sub-Healthy increases illness chance after AG-27's redesign. ST-11 fixes remaining cases where the trait could still cause sudden death; both patches matter when interpreting older reports.

System

Soldier Aging

Soldier Aging can be toggled at any time with immediate effect under AG-12. ST-11 fixes ages stopping after adulthood, and ST-24 fixes old-age deaths before soldiers reach the Aged-state threshold.

Issue

Steam Deck Virtual Keyboard

AG-25 fixes the Steam Deck keyboard not opening for text input. ST-11 adds input-field and fullscreen-keyboard fixes. These specific changes do not prove Steam Deck certification or a tested performance profile.

System

Co-op Status

Co-op is a stated future development direction in ST-11, alongside deeper colony simulation and major systems. The current Steam baseline lists Single-player; a roadmap statement is not confirmation of playable co-op.

System

Roadmap & Future Development

The developer's September direction emphasizes deeper Colony Sim systems, co-op, major systems and new content. These are future priorities, while ST-24's delivered changes focus on assignment, hauling and fixes.
