Sludgineers — Patch 00.03

Patch 00.03 for Sludgineers addresses several bug fixes, including resolving issues with mouse visibility when using an external mouse on Steam Deck and menu navigation with keyboard controls. The update improves the pollution detection threshold for the vacuum sludge detector and adds features such as saving zoom levels for the upgrades popup and map, as well as displaying owned versus total upgrades. Gamepad input deadzone has also been increased to prevent unintended input switching. A known 120Hz Mac issue remains unresolved, with ongoing investigation. The developers are currently focusing on design discussions for the first content update, aiming to enhance the end game with Challenge Modes.
