Game Updates

Hey everyone 👋The game is now live in Early Access.First of all, sorry about the bugs and rough parts you might run into right now. I know there are issues and I’m already working on fixing them as fast as I can.I’m a solo indie developer and this is my first game, so I’m still learning as I go and improving things step by step with updates.Thanks a lot to everyone who’s supporting and giving feedback, it really helps.More updates and fixes are coming soon ❤️

We are aware of issues launching the game directly from Steam for some Linux users. By all reports we currently have, launching the game directly from the executable (instead of through Steam) is a workaround for the time being. We are looking into the issue and hope to resolve it soon.

Hey everyone,Thank you for the support since launch and for the early feedback, it's already making the game better. Here's what's changed.Gameplay fixes:Popups now have more breathing room between appearances, so you’re no longer overwhelmed all at once.Board ultimatum timer increased, giving more time to read before the clock starts.Cost cutter opportunity now only activates once you’ve started processing employees.Popup text shortened and clarified for faster decision making.Mode balancing:High Risk mode difficulty reduced: risk growth and late-game escalation tuned down, previously too punishing.No Severance satisfaction decay reduced: the mode was stacking too many penalties at once.Fixed bug where retrying in High Risk mode launched Normal mode instead.Save system improvements:DeleteSave() / Lose/Retry path: Only deletes the save for the mode you just lost in. Losing High Risk no longer wipes your Standard save.StartNewRun() / New run path: Only wipes the save for the mode you’re starting. Starting a fresh Standard run no longer nukes your High Risk progress.UX improvements:Tooltip guide added to the User Guide, explaining how to enable and use tooltips.UNFAZED ASSET achievement description updated for clarity.As always, thanks for the support! If you find bugs or have feedback, drop it in the discussions. Every comment gets read.

We’ve been listening closely to your feedback, and two things kept coming up again and again. Some of you wanted to run the game on a second monitor, almost like an idler, where the day never ends, and you stay in control of when things move forward. Others told us the opposite: you want speed. Waiting a couple of minutes just to skip a day felt too slow. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45649874/c1cd676e3cde5a3241442d3c685ff979fea1e0c2.png We hear you. Different players, different playstyles. So the team put together a Game Modes Update to let you enjoy Vending Machine Co. on your own terms. 🧘 Relax Mode Infinite days No timer You decide when the day ends Start with $4,000 Perfect for a second monitor setup, chill sessions, or just taking things slow. 🧃 Normal Mode Classic experience 10–20 minute days (you can skip the day after 2 mins) Start with $3,000 The balanced, intended way to play the game. 🔥 Mayhem Mode Fast-paced gameplay Skip days after just 30 seconds Start with $2,000 For those who want speed, efficiency, and quick decisions without the wait. Additionally, the save selection screen got a glow-up, with more run details shown on the screen! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45649874/c7b3fc3ba1d89d90a9f461e4a35505d7632e0b30.png 💬 Got More Ideas? Rogue Duck games are built with the community. If you’ve got ideas for new modes or twists, we’re all ears. Drop them in the comments! ⭐ Enjoying the Update? If you like the new modes, leaving a review on Steam really helps us a lot and supports future updates. Thank you for being part of this journey! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3622640/Vending_Machine_Co/

New Content: The Battlepass now goes up to Lv. 100+ and contains tons of new powerful resources, such as Supreme Tech, Supreme Tokens, and Mastery Points! Changes: Slightly rebalanced many of the Battlepass rewards. They may have increased or decreased for you depending on what stage of the game you're at due to how they scale with your progress. The permanent Rank Exp rewards in particular received a huge buff. If you had previously claimed these Rank Exp rewards already, you'll be able to reclaim them again now with the much larger bonus. Prestige Power is now automatically included in your Offline Progress rewards again (no need to spend gems on an upgrade to unlock it). If you had already spent gems on that previously required unlock, they will be automatically refunded. The gem cost of adding the other resources to offline rewards (runes, tech, battlepass exp, and mastery points) were significantly reduced by roughly 50%. If you had already spent gems on these, the difference will be automatically refunded. My reasoning for moving some of these resources from being previously freely included to now requiring a small gem cost is because these are very powerful resources that, in the early-game, are hard to come by due to shadows/aliens being difficult to kill with their HP scaling. It wouldn't make sense for these to be freely obtained from offline progress, because then early-game players would just be able to go offline to get better rewards (for free) than if they played actively and had to deal with the HP scaling limitations. That's just silly. So, I think it's fair they have to pay a few gems to unlock this benefit. For late-game players, these offline resources barely make a dent and so aren't too important, but also the gem cost should feel pretty negligible for them at that point anyways.

After a long development cycle, version 3.0.0 has been released!This version does include many breaking changes, which may require your attention. These breaking changes are listed in the changelog.When loading into 3.0.0 for the first time, you will be prompted to save a backup of your pre-3.0.0 savegame. Please keep this savegame in case you need to revert to the previous version. Under Properties -> Game Versions and Betas, there is a branch available to revert to a previous game version.Also when loading in, a file APIBreakInfo-3.0.0.txt will be created on the home computer, which should assist in addressing any scripts which were impacted by an API break.With that said, below is part of the changelog. The full changelog can be viewed ingame or at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-src/releases/tag/v3.0.0## v3.0.0: 1 May 2026 ### BREAKING CHANGES - Remove API server (#2084) (@catloversg)- Remove support for running NS1 scripts (#2083) (@catloversg)- Enforce stricter param check on ns.getBitNodeMultipliers and ns.hacknet.spendHashes (#2085) (@catloversg)- Remove APIs that were deprecated a long time ago (#2088) (@catloversg)- Moved formatting functions to their own interface (#1635) (@G4mingJon4s)- Remove fuzzy matching when checking params (#2091) (@catloversg)- Remove deprecated tail-related APIs (#2143) (@catloversg)- Rename setAutoJobAssignment API to setJobAssignment (#2146) (@catloversg)- Make nuke and port cracking APIs return false instead of throwing error (#1023, #2153) (@Hydrogeniouss, @catloversg)- Standardize names of Stock APIs (#2173) (@catloversg)- Rename BN multiplier RepToDonateToFaction to FavorToDonateToFaction (#2178) (@catloversg)- Make ns.bladeburner.getActionRepGain return the expected reputation gain (#2186) (@catloversg)- Rename FactionName.BachmanAssociates to FactionName.BachmanAndAssociates (#2048, #2183) (@masarakki, @catloversg)- Remove DreamSense upgrade (#2232) (@catloversg)- Use different term for dividend modifier i...

Chest Overhaul & Slot Machine Boost Chest System Rework Chests now stack up and display a red notification badge in the top right corner showing how many are waiting to be opened. Opening a chest launches a spinning wheel that cycles through items with smooth deceleration before landing on your prize. Colorful confetti bursts across the screen when the wheel stops. After the wheel lands you are presented with TAKE to add the item to your inventory or EXPEL to trade it for XP based on rarity. If your inventory is full you can click an existing item to sell it and make room. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug where the chest icon would permanently show 1 chest remaining even after opening. The counter now correctly decrements and the icon disappears when no chests are pending. Slot Machine: Boost System The Slot Machine now features a BOOST ODDS button that costs 5 additional ascension coins per spin. Activating it significantly increases your chances of rolling Captain Chomps and Stabby McSpear on the reels. Once a special unit is unlocked through the slots it is permanently removed from the reel pool so you never waste a roll on something you already have. When both units are unlocked the boost button is replaced with a completion message.

Hello dear people (dodges tomato) Today's patch gives birth to an unprecedented monster: THE TUTORIAL.The Tutorial monster is a widely dodged and feared creature, I MYSELF dodged quite a few in my gaming days (last week and also today and probably next week too).But as it was a requested feature here it is and I AM NOT SORRY FOR WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR. I HAD A BLAST RECORDING IT.So anyways... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Changes: Tutorial added (2 Versions: 1 English, 1 Romanian).Timing balance change for correctly hitting the notes. (Canon 90 ms -> 150 ms)We are currently considering watering down the overall difficulty for the Baby Mode and Canon, because our goal is for the game to actually be enjoyable. Sir, this is a Wendy'sWe are working on a few more things which will also be released when ready. (I could have also just not said this phrase at all).We are very thankful for your continued support and (dodges comically large onion) we will continue to do our best to improve the game. Toodles my fellow lads in pantaloons. CB

🐰 There are 3 days left until the Easter event ends.In 3 days, Easter items will stop dropping both from chests and through exchanges. 🛍️ Event bundles, including the "All-In" bundle, are already available in the item store. You can get them there directly. The bundles will remain available until May 17, and after that we will hide them from the store for at least a year.If you have been putting off buying the outfits you liked, now is the perfect time to get them. Purchasing any items through the Steam item store helps us a lot 💝Meanwhile, we are already starting work on the summer outfits ːcoolstar2022ː We will do our best to make you like them even more than the Easter ones. And there’s a new promo code too ːdealwithitːThis weekend I will go through all your suggestions from Discord and take the most interesting ones into the reference board for our artists.Have a warm weekend ːtinderː

I suggest not looking at the combined table to guess the tower's combination. This way, there will be more surprises.

Grenades are now live in Breach Squad.This update expands your tactical options during missions. You can now use grenades to control enemy movement, disrupt dangerous targets, and create breathing room when your squad is under heavy pressure.Grenades add a new layer of decision-making to combat: when to throw, where to target, and which enemy group to break before things get out of control. Good luck, Commander. Your squad has one more tool to survive the breach.

Greetings Berry Bouncers! (Berry Farmers? Berry Bois?) Day 1 has been pretty good. Not a massive amount of problems but still plenty to correct. Additions Nyla (Dog) I was clearly not in my right head space when I finished up the game the other night. Nyla released with the game, unpettable. So after this grievous error was brought up to me, I went all in on fixing it. Now Nyla can be pet and even has vocals to go along with the new animation. She can be pet on the farm or in the Market, so show her some love. Changes Panel/Menu Exiting I had some small zones you could click on to exit the menus but they were hard to click on . I've expanded them over the entire screen so as long as you aren't clicking on a panel (or scrolling section) it should exit the menu without having to click those pesky menu buttons again. Fixes Settings Volume settings weren't functioning correctly on profile creation, but now they are. Tutorial The tutorial wasn't popping up after booting up the first time, but now it is. Also you can view the tutorial with the ? button on the bottom bar if you missed it the first time. That is about it for the moment. I hope everyone is enjoying the game! -Azirin If you have any questions or feedback on Berry Bounce, consider joining our Discord (Vapor Cat Games Discord) or sending an email to VaporCatGamesHelpDesk@gmail.com.

Homelab Update is Live!Today we've launched the largest upgrade system to the game to date, featuring 8 categories and 32 unique upgrade types. The nature of the Homelab system is it involves a steady flow of upgrade power, and doesn't allow a player to simply spend currency for instant results. It requires time for upgrades to unlock and improve, and there is no way to pay to force them to complete faster.New upgrades are revealed as you level up your Homelab by installing new components and upgrading the aspects of each section. These upgrades include unique new effects, mostly tailored around defensive mechanics. You will eventually find upgrades that can reduce enemy critical hit chance/damage, the ability to stun enemies for a round, and even the ability to preserve part of your win streak after you lose.This system will continue to get expanded over time, as it provides a strong base to add unique new effects that can affect hacking, gathering, and community events.

Fixed an issue causing Ninja to have no Reload Up Talents (due to being replaced by Multifire Talents) Mythic Talent chance per Talent Tree increased to 50% (up from 33%) The Talent Tree generation will now prioritise Mythic Talents that you haven't previously discovered You can now get more than one Mythic Talent per run
