Pre-Season Groundwork
This patch is all about laying the foundation for the upcoming crafting system launch and seasonal content. We've completely reworked the inventory system to handle the new material types and crafting mechanics. The UI has been streamlined to make item management way less clunky, and we've added better filtering and sorting options. Think of this as the scaffolding we're building before the big season drop - nothing flashy, but essential infrastructure that'll make the new features shine.
Material System Overhaul
We've introduced new material types that will be central to the crafting system coming next month. These include crystalline components, biomechanical parts, and exotic alloys that you'll find throughout your runs. We've also updated the visual design of materials in your inventory so they're easier to identify at a glance. Stack limits have been adjusted to give you more flexibility without feeling overwhelming.
UI Polish and Improvements
- Inventory now supports nested categorization for materials
- Item tooltips expanded with more detailed information
- New quick-access sidebar for frequently used items
- Improved drag-and-drop responsiveness across all screens
- Better visual distinction between item rarities
The crafting system arrives next patch. Get familiar with your inventory now, and you'll be ready to build amazing gear when it launches!
