April 2026 (SierraBay12) — Delivered a blend of feature work, reliability fixes, and observability improvements that together enhance gameplay fidelity, developer efficiency, and system stability. Key work spans new gameplay features, event dynamics, and editor tooling, underpinned by thorough telemetry cleanups and spawn/module stability fixes. Notable commits and outcomes: - Sandevistan Augment Refinement (1bcf4dee27a67205b0851c39a14ca3f043eeb319): enhances speed, evasiveness, and cooldown mechanics based on user skills and augment count. - Automated Distress Signal Announcements (cf01c8cc1ba4b67fe0ea40c1b1a7ab3db05b20c5): context-aware distress signaling in the overmap, signaling only when target players are present on specified z-levels. - New Combat Equipment and Ammunition (26e5d27de69cf581ef09bdd8a2263c980d29c34c; db400597b38d439d297e539eea8ef5e39901df8a): magnetic gripper cartridge storage for chemical cartridges; tracer rounds and a new ammo type for the anti-materiel rifle to enhance gameplay. - Leviathan Event Mechanics Enhancements (351b524c1916427ee49e8deb8ddefab1be526f5a): improved target validation, damage multipliers, and control panel interactions. - Piano Editor Module (557dcc6b4bbe50fe05c0e91081b0590eb2d66244): introduces a comprehensive piano editor with real-time playback and save/sync. - Projectile Mechanics Enhancement (ae14cb2bb7de9eaa651caf3ce2abb22cb77a9d1d): improved mob hit accuracy via a fallback hit-zone mechanism. Additionally, targeted bug work and stability improvements reduced risk in live deployments: Gameplay Setup and Spawn Fixes (antag spawn initialization and duplicate ERT joins) and Robot Module System Revert to restore prior behavior, complemented by Telemetry and Logging Cleanup to reduce debug noise and improve traceability across subsystems.
