The Terra Nil Heatwave Patch v1.2.6 addresses several player-reported issues, most notably giving ERW1N the ability to navigate rivers and wetlands using a dinghy, preventing potential softlocks. It also improves user experience in floodplain levels by making factory recycling requirements clearer, while fixing problems with action shots and the related achievement.
In addition to these new changes, the patch incorporates recent hotfixes that resolve memory leaks, stop credits from replaying when opening the world map, and fix ERW1N’s inability to recycle or use bridges. These updates build upon the recent Heatwave content that expanded the game’s biomes and maps.
