Quick answer
v1.0.8 adds three Anomaly quality recipes: three identical products make lower quality, three products across two types make normal quality, and one of each makes enhanced quality. Each Mining upgrade now needs three ores instead of five. Loading is safer, Spring Pads are more consistent, Pistons can be moved and picked up again while attached objects follow, wide terminal text is improved, and Keypad interactions are fixed.
Official changes and practical impact
| Official change | Practical impact |
|---|---|
| Main loading may take longer, especially the first time, but should be safer | Wait for the load to finish before treating a longer first startup as a freeze; the note does not promise a fixed loading time or recovery for a machine that has already crashed. |
| Anomaly quality now depends on the three input products | Use three identical products for lower quality, a mix of two product types for normal quality, or one of each product type for enhanced quality. |
| Each Mining upgrade now requires three ores instead of five | Older five-ore instructions are obsolete for the current secret-route minigame. |
| Spring Pads should be more reliable and produce more similar outcomes | Retest a simple route before adding corrective walls or extra force; no exact reliability coefficient is published. |
| Pistons can be moved; attached objects follow; Pistons are pickable again | Moving assemblies from v1.0.7 remain supported, but the Piston itself can now be repositioned and recovered. |
| Upgrade Terminal handles wide text better | Recheck clipped labels on localized or long-text interfaces before using an old workaround. |
| Keypad key interactions fixed | Retry the current elevator Keypad interaction before diagnosing the secret-ending route as blocked. |

Evidence boundary
The developer does not publish exact Anomaly quality multipliers, a fixed loading duration, a Spring Pad reliability coefficient, or a guarantee that a save or machine affected before this patch can be recovered. Those values remain unpublished until directly measured.
