I've just finished uploading new test build 1.04, which is a minor patch that fixes several bugs, including one which was causing hex resources to disappear.

The build is available to anyone who owns the game at bluebottlegames.com, or on Desura and Steam. Desura (and therefore, Groupees) users can use Desura Connect to gain access here, or even get their Steam keys and try it on Steam.

To access the test build on the official site, simply visit the game page, and click any of the download links below the usual Windows, Mac, and Linux buttons.

Steam users can access the test build by opting into the beta for it.

Updates Included in the Test Build

Test build 1.04 includes the following changes:

Changed random encounters that cause lost random item to only choose non-plot items.

Fixed a typo in "Baby Back Ribs" random encounter.

Fixed a bug that caused hex resource items to be deleted if context menu was used to first delete and item then use resource.

Fixed a typo in ATN encounter (germaine).

The likelihood that this version of NEO Scavenger will work with previous saves is: likely.

As usual, the older the save game version, the less likely it is to work.

As always, let me know what you think of the changes, and if you notice any issues with the new build!
