February brings another playtest as the developers put the pedal to the metal, this builds on top of the previous one which you can read up on here if you haven't already.
The changes affecting gameplay for this playtest are:
General:
- Fixed bogus sell values and other potential issues with high actor hitpoints. [#14651]
Sell value calculations have now been tweaked for the inflation of actor hit points brought by last playtest. - Fixed UI time/color for queues unaffected by low power. [#14702]
If there is no slow down applied to a structure as a result of low power then the production timer will remain white rather than red. - Fixed husks not showing an owner row in the tooltip. [#14780]
Husks now show the owner's name.
- Added MCVs to the AI protection logic. [#14780]
AI players will now protect MCVs as if they were harvesters or a building.
- Updated map pool. [#14768]
Several maps have been added to/removed from the map pool. It's worth looking at the #issue on this one as it's too much to summarize here. - Fixed that mechanics didn't auto-repair most vehicles. [#14663]
Fix mechanics not fixing many vehicles. - Fixed that flamers sometimes explode with a wrong explosion type. [#14751]

- Fixed flashing of command bar deploy button in connection with aircraft. [#14730]
Fixed command bar flashing in TD when deploying aircraft despite having no effect. - Reduced value of civilians. [#14753]
Reduced value of civilians to $10 to prevent players from farming them for XP. - Decreased the damage of APCs and increased the health of Obelisks. [#14753]
APCs now do less damage and Obelisks are now sturdier.

Many structures now have better/different armor. - Fixed flashing of command bar deploy button in connection with aircraft. [#14730]
