Build 88

The Tech Tree Scrolls Sideways Again

Fixes

  • On the Steam Deck and other small screens, the tech tree's widest rows ran off both edges and the tree wouldn't scroll sideways. It scrolls now, so every tech is reachable
  • A Steam Deck that got no controller layout from Steam showed keyboard keys in button prompts. It shows the Deck's own button icons now
  • Selecting a tech slides it into view sideways too, and moving through the tree with the keyboard or a controller keeps the selected tech on screen

Improvements

  • Shift + mouse wheel pans the tech tree sideways
  • The Station strip under a selected building has a Hide panels button in the classic layout too (K, or hold L4 on a Deck), so you can steer with the panels out of the way
  • A station building with no panel, like a solar panel, gets the Station strip instead of floating Copy and Deconstruct buttons over the quick buttons
  • A Steam Deck docked to a TV, or Big Picture on a desktop screen, keeps the UI scale slider. Only the Deck's own screen stays fixed at 0.90
