Some snazzy new planet artwork and separate difficulties are coming your way in today’s update to Space Food Truck Early Access! Now you can choose between Mild, Medium, and Thai Hot. Events, items, and arrival cards (the core game) will stay the same between each mode, but you’ll find there are plenty of differences:
Mild
- Begin the game with 9HP, 4 shield capacity, and 4 FTL capacity.
- You get 4 free card flips in the Scientist’s lab to help kick-start the search for your favorite cards.
- All labs and mutation costs start at 1.
- Your ship begins the game in perfect shape.
- Your recipes require less ingredients and few rare cards.
Medium
- Things begin to heat up. Start the game with 7HP, 3 shields and 3 FTL.
- No free peeks in the lab, you’re on your own.
- One random player starts the game with a broken draw pod.
- Recipes require more ingredients to complete, and you’ll need more hard-to-find ingredients to win.
Thai Hot
- You’ll start the game with 5HP, 2 shield capacity, and 2 FTL.
- All labs and mutation costs start at 2.
- Right off the bat, we’re breaking a random door, lab topic, and draw pod.
- Recipes require lots of hard-to-find ingredients.
