Main Game Updates

QoL Update (6th October 2023)

AOE Repairer Component. Now it's possible to repair units and buildings within a designated area simultaneously, rather than sequentially as before.
New Storage Block (16). In addition to the existing Storage Blocks of 8 and 24 slots, we've introduced an intermediate option with 16 slots for items.
Fullscreen Map. Press 'M' to expand the mini-map to full screen.
Click on components to exclude them from construction. When copying a building with 'C' and assigning a build task with 'V', you can now omit specific components (e.g., radar, fabricator). The building will then be constructed without them.
Next Idle Unit button. A new button beside the mini-map lets you cycle through idle units, ensuring none are overlooked or left without tasks.
New Behavior commands: GetItem, LoopInventorySlots, LoopIngredient, Separate / Combine, Enable/Disable Transport Route
Count Item instruction without an input item will now count all items
Added Get Stability, Lock (opposite of Unlock) instructions
Count Item now has a dropdown to be able to count reserves
Added Polish translation
Power Transmitters can draw from batteries in certain situations.
Tweaks to recipes and Battery limits.
Allow order carriers to multi-carry for nearby targets if the item source and type match. Now, the bot can pick up multiple items needed for construction or transportation at once, rather than transporting them one by one.
Get ingredients instruction now works with tech. Previously limited to items and units, it can now fetch ingredients for technology, aiding in preparing for future research.
Booster modules now require power
Allow transport route to pull items without STORE register set
Added more parameters for reserved/unreserved stacks/space to Loop Inventory Item
Rock now has 8 item slots․ Doubling from the previous four for enhanced storage flexibility in the Rock unit.

Fix for using the plateau filter
Fixed being able to drag items where it shouldn't have been possible. Yep, from now on, you'll need to always use a satellite for that, folks :)
