I’ve just published v1.2.3 of Revolution. This brings one mini-feature and another more subtle feature.

Combat Droids can be airlifted

This means you can pickup your droids with a petrel and take them some place new. You can even drop them on the deck of your carrier (or a barge) and they will sort of stay there.

Settings Mods

I noticed that not many mods edit the library_enum.lua file, this file is the first lua script that each screen or the HUD loads. So I decided to use it as a place to put optional settings.

Revolution has a number of newer settings that can kind of change gameplay in ways that aren’t a universal better/worse result. eg, v1.2 now shows the island difficulty (Shield count) for hostile islands but I thought it would be good to hide it and let crews assess islands from what they see when scouting.

So, with these “settings” mods, you can add an extra mod to change these defaults.

With the new settings mods, you can now choose different behaviour for a few things.

• Hide island shields
• Hide island production types like fog-of-war

Show Island Shields

Hide Hostile Island Types
