IDLE_DIRECTIVE v1.0.3 Fixes Crashes, Rebalances Augments and Core Systems

Developer Kevinfu510 has released v1.0.3 for IDLE_DIRECTIVE, citing player reports submitted through the in-game form and Steam Community posts as the primary source for this round of fixes.

What changed

Visual fixes & changes

• Excessive decimal points caused by Concentrator/Battery Amplifier use have been corrected.
• Lore text for the "INITIAL BODY SIZE" and "INITIAL INVENTORY SIZE" augments was swapped — now corrected.
• A longstanding "repair recyler" typo in the ACTIONS tab has been fixed.
• POI color for \ type points of interest changed from dark purple to dark green for easier visibility.
• POIs now update their colors immediately when status changes, without requiring a manual Map Options toggle.

Bug fixes

• Two separate game crashes tied to viewing the Augment screen — one general, one specific to being at a Trader POI — have been resolved.
• Fog now reveals correctly when players access the Augment screen.
• Tier-3 tasks were incorrectly available at game start; this is fixed.
• Trader Task rewards now scale properly with newly acquired Augments.
• Decomposer (II) cooldown corrected from 30 seconds to 10 seconds.
• World generation no longer places Traders near the player spawn in edge cases.
• \ POIs can no longer be selected for Enclave and Outpost Trader tasks.

Balance changes

• OFFLINE PROGRESS augment point costs reduced significantly across all tiers.
• Concentrator amplify property reduced from 25% per level to 20%.
• Harvester and Salvager power tripled from 1 to 3 per level.
• Terminal repair progress now persists through prestige and SYSTEM RESET (submitted items do not carry over, only active repair progress).
• Terminal repair times are now dynamic rather than a fixed 6-hour constant.

The combination of crash fixes and rebalanced terminal persistence makes this a meaningful update for players deep in any current run.
