Hello, Merchants!This update focuses on making Mad Merchant easier to learn, improving the Travel experience, and eliminating several UI and save/load issues.A Brand-New TutorialWe have introduced a completely redesigned tutorial built around real gameplay actions.New players will now learn how to:Purchase wagons and build their first trainInstall Energy, Storage, and Collector modulesSelect a city and choose a routeUse the travel cameraOperate a Collector and complete manual productionDefend the train against dronesRepair damaged modulesUse the Shop and Contracts panelsThe tutorial uses the normal game interfaces instead of opening or controlling panels on the player’s behalf. Objectives, highlights, progress counters, and information cards guide the player without interfering with the regular UI flow.The entire tutorial and its related pop-ups are now localized.Travel and Production ImprovementsCollector modules now use the same production workflow as other production modules. Players can open the Production panel and use the Start Production, Stop Production, and Manual Production controls consistently.If a journey ends before the Travel tutorial objectives are completed, the remaining Travel steps are automatically skipped so the tutorial cannot become stuck.Fast Travel ChangesFast Travel now:Displays a confirmation pop-upRequires payment before activationGrants less experience than completing a journey normallyThis keeps Fast Travel convenient without making regular travel obsolete.Module and Drone ImprovementsModule durability indicators now transition from green to red as durability decreases.The locomotive can no longer be selected as a regular module from the module list.Drones can now use a randomized skeletal mesh when a wave begins, adding more visual variety to encounters.UI ImprovementsAdded fade-to-black transitions between City and Travel sequences.Corrected the placement of repair, Fast Travel, tutorial, and confirmation pop-ups.Fixed several cases ...

- Relation stances with independents now align with faction faction relations (Belligerent, Strained, Neutral, Cooperative, Allied) for simplicity sake. - With independents, cooperative and allied do not grant shared logs or radar, but instead grant a 20% cargo capacity bonus at cooperative, and 20% speed buff to resource trading with allied, for all forms of resource trading. - Cleaned up the two faction stance diplomacy screens into a simpler interface with everything in one place - Also cleaned up the expedition bonus previews so these display accurate stat previews before and during expeditions There will probably be cooler things we can do with independents later, like economy related stuff, but don't want to disturb the balance of the MP world too much, so a little cargo route buff for now for allied independents
Its finally here: The big 2.0 update for Gamblers Table is live! Thank you so much to all the testers who gave us their feedback during the last months!TLDR - What is new?3 New Coin Types with unique mechanics: Poker Chips, Nuclear Coins and Crypto Coins3 New Minigames: Slot Machine, Mining and Horse RacingReworked and expanded Talent Tree with over 200 TalentsOverall faster, more streamlined progressionThis is a very fundamental overhaul, so we recommend starting a new playthroughOur goal with the new updateThe feedback on the live version of Gamblers Table has been a bit divisive. While many people liked the game, there was also a lot of constructive feedback, with the two main points being that the game feels a bit too stretched and with too little content to support the playtime. With this update we set out to fix those issues by adding a bunch of new content and by overall accelerating the playtime. Its important to note that this update brings mainly new mid-game content and introduces new fundamental systems. While your old save file carries over, we highly recommend starting a new playthrough because if you had finished the live version and continue from there, you'll just blitz past most of the new content. Expanded Talent Tree:The Talent Tree has been substantially increased, with many new passive and active talents to unlock. The original tree had 22 Talents, the new one has 222. The new tree is so big, I can’t even take a good screenshot of it. A good chunk of these are passive talents but they will allow more strategic choice and specialization on different coin types, depending on your strategy. And there is also a bunch of brand-new talents that introduce completely new mechanics (see below). The amount of unlockable talent points has been adjusted accordingly and you will now unlock talent points much more frequently.Poker Chip:Poker Chips are a mid-game coin, that unlocks between the Gold and the Platinum Coin. Their unique mechanic is that they are...
- When attacking, if your fleet withdraws before 3 combat rounds are complete, you will not gain intel on the composition or size of the defending fleet @_dotz - For intercepts, this applies to both interceptor and the fleet being intercepted - Defender logic remains the same, and they will continue to get intel on fleet composition attacking them - Server selection will be more readily available when opening the multiplayer menu from game title screen - Building screens cleaned up a bit for styling consistency when constructing / upgrading
Hello Merchants!Mad Merchant is finally out, and it's time to grow your business!

New patch for you space captains!Main attraction here is a new idle/cinema mode. If you let the game idle for 2 min the game will fade out its HUD, zoom and pan, and follow random ships around. It is perfect if you want to use it as a screensaver or background visual during the day, or while waiting for resources to generate. You can also toggle this on and off in the settings.I also changed some pirate behavior to make them more useful and bounties more plausible + some expedition ui improvements.Changelog:Cinema ModePiratesPlayer Pirates now match enemy pirates' speed to be able to catch up to them.Player Pirates can now attack enemy pirates that are raiding; previously, these could not be targeted. You can now rescue civilian ships.More consistent resolutions in battleExpeditionsMinimum ships is now 1 and not 0Slider don't reset if a new ship is boughtNumbers are now text input if you want to type in how many ships you want to sendNote: these are UI QoL, some more systematic changes to expedition is coming laterBug: Nano Drone prestige updated correctly updates it's UI now for ore/sPerformance: Nano drones' glow and shaders turn off at low zoomUI: Metal amount moved from Refinery Command to Fleet Command. All resources are now collected in one place, and you can see your metal before unlocking refineries (e.g., from expeditions or bounties).Let me know what you think in the forums or on Discord! It makes me so happy that more and more of you are enjoying the game, the improvements are all thanks to you and the feedback you have provided.SEE YOU IN SPACE, CAPTAINS!

Update #3The big one this time: score difference now pays out in money. Several of you pointed out that winning 10-0 was worth the same as scraping a 2-1. Now a win doesn't only grant you points and a flat fee, but the exact goal margin converted into money, so investing in your team pays off double.Also, Steam Achievements should now trigger under all preconditions. This one bugged us for a long time and we're really sorry for the inconvenience it caused some of you. If there's anything still the issue, please report it to us :) Economy & progressionScore difference is now paid out in money as described aboveCooldown upgrades now shorten the current cooldown as well, not just future onesYou can now open the prestige tree and back out again without being forced to buy the first upgradeFixesAll achievements are now awarded under all preconditionsGoals now spawn properly spread apart, no more buying a goal that lands next to an existing oneTeam members no longer chase the ball after they've scored, but choose the next one immediatelyHUDYour current rank and your opponents' ranks are now shown in the HUDPlus assorted minor tweaks and fixes.Keep it coming Discussions are still where we're getting most of this.
