Alright bug hunters, we’ve already received our first hotfix after Silica made its debut on Steam Early Access May 3rd! While it might be a small one, it’s a vital one desperately needed due to the harvester issues on the human factions halting progression to a snails pace. You should now be a little more at ease while commanding the Sol or Centari forces as Dram (the sole developer of Silica by the way) has fixed issues of harvesters slowing down on steep inclines, getting stuck after depositing its balterium payload, and fixing the issue of not being able to chat while you not in a faction state.

Knowing the fact that there is only one developer currently working on their dream project, and that is able to provide a quick hotfix to game altering issues gives a good look to the future of this game development. Below is the official post from the Official Silica Steam News Page.

Dear Silica community,
A new hotfix update is now live to address some recent issues. We appreciate your valuable feedback in helping us make the game better. Here’s what we’ve fixed:

• Fixed: Harvester driving up inclines too slow
• Fixed: Harvester getting stuck when undocking
• Fixed: Chat window not openable when not in a unit or not Commander

Keep on gaming!

We’re looking forward to what comes next as there are plenty of other things needing to get ironed out but not as critical to gameplay. Until next time!
