Barotrauma Dev Tracker

I just gave this a test, and the mission seemed to trigger with no issues at my end. Are you using mods by any chance? It could be that some mod has overridden that mission and lacks the tag "cargohuskcult".

There was an issue in the update that caused multiplayer saves to not appear at all if there's any corrupted or otherwise non-loadable files in the save folder, that should now be hotfixed though! :)

I was very happy to read this. The ending and everything related to the gravitational anomaly and the portal is very obtuse, and a lot of people have been confused about what it all means, but I'm glad that some have been able to mostly piece it all together. :)

And yeah, the stuff Dr. af Grann says and the scribblings you can find in research outposts aren't just random technobabble, they do actually mean something as you pointed out. The ancients also comment on what happens to your crew at the end, in less techy words than af Grann: "They will never know of your sacrifice, but we do". It's a Pyrrhic victory, you save Europa but will never be able to get to the "other side" to see it.

That being said, we are planning on adding some more content to shed some more light into some of this, and to make it easier to figure out in future updates.

You can find them in Content/TraitorEvents.xml in the game folder.

There's also a new console command called triggertraitorevent [event identifiers] - you can use tab to go through all the available events.

Unfortunately bots can't be traitors.

We did consider bot traitors too, but there are a couple of issues with it: first of all the bots would need to be _extremely_ smart to pull off traitor objectives in an interesting way. But more importantly, we feel that the social element is a very important part in making the traitor system fun: misleading, lying, coming up with distractions, trying to deduce who's the traitor, and so on, and none of that would work with bots.

You're right, the GitHub users are a very small (but vocal) part of the player base, and most of them are very long-time players, many having played the game since the legacy version. So we are well aware we need to take the discussions on GitHub with a grain of salt, and consider the perspective of the more casual and newer players as well.

However, I do need to point out that the one discussion I linked wasn't the reason we decided to do this change, I just feel many of the points raised there summed up well why we feel the change to oxygen tanks was necessary. Those points have been raised by tons of players during the years though, not just in GitHub, but also in the Steam discussions and Discord.

It's important to us to take both the more "casual" playerbase and the veteran players into consideration, and it's often been difficult to find a middle-ground that works for both. I feel in this case we managed to find a good middle-ground though; with the increased ...

I think you're overlooking the fact that diving suits reduce movement speed too. The suits' speed debuff don't stack with the backpack's, so the difference isn't that drastic. :) The backpack leaving both of your hands free is also a huge plus.

Yep, we're aware of the issue. :/ The site is getting an abnormally high amount of traffic at the moment and we're suspecting it's triggering the hosting provider's DDoS mitigation system. We're looking into it, but I doubt we'll be able to do much about it during the weekend.
