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.
