What the 1.0 notes list
Mycologist, rescued in Expedition Alpha, with Sporelift, Fungal Skewer, and Infection. Population Control as a mission. A mini assignment called The Couch. Diffraction Driver at level 10 plus resources. Snowball, unlocked via X11-B. The X11-B region itself. Hats, Fulfillments, sit emotes, a hub rework, a drop-pod redesign, and a rule that the mission fails if nobody reaches the pod.
Also in that note: loadout highlights, full text localization, enemy and laser tuning, crafting and resource tweaks. I did not see a line that says upgrades got more expensive or Saxonite got rarer. HUD damage numbers can be turned off.
The two patches after, and the update that is not 1.0
2.0.1 fixed Fulfillment unlocks for Cranius and Bunker Buster. 2.0.2 improved mission select, adjusted Pattern Infusion, and fixed Eye of the Storm, Star Fuel, and Sharing Lunch.
Freeze and Fester is 25 Aug 2026: swamp, cryo, Lottery Larry. It is not a nickname for 1.0. I keep it on the timeline so the search does not land in the wrong month.
