Mycopunk 1.0: Unlocks, Updates and Progression Help

Published

Rescue the Mycologist in Expedition Alpha, unlock the Diffraction Driver after level 10 with resources, and look to X11-B for the Snowball Grenade. If an achievement failed, check Patch 2.0.1 before replaying: the developer lists Cranius, Bunker Buster and two Fulfillment progress problems as fixed.

What changed at the full release?

Official source

The October 20 release adds the Mycologist, the Diffraction Driver ion scattergun, the Snowball cryo grenade and X11-B, a challenging region on New Atlas’ moonlet. Population Control is a new normal mission; Expedition Alpha is the named rescue assignment for the new employee. They are separate activities.

Returning from Early Access? The HUB and Drop Pod have new designs, and Fulfillments track accomplishments with cosmetic rewards. Some earlier actions count retroactively and some do not, depending on which statistics the game already stored. Check the particular reward’s requirement before repeating a long mission.

Read the upgrade screen before replacing a setup

Official source

The 1.0 notes say that making an upgrade’s pattern smaller reduces most of its stat effectiveness, while larger patterns improve it. That is a tradeoff between space and effect; compare the displayed values for the item you actually own.

Hold CTRL on keyboard or L3 on controller in the upgrade screen to inspect application order. The icons below the grid follow that order. Employee upgrades from the tree now have stats randomized per save, so another player’s screenshot may not match your values.

  1. 1Identify the effect your current loadout needs and the space you can use.
  2. 2Compare the item’s live values and application order before and after changing its pattern.
  3. 3Keep a record of the previous setup and test one change in a comparable mission.

Which patch should I check for progress trouble?

Official patch

Patch 2.0.1, posted October 21, lists fixes for Cranius, Bunker Buster, relay-tower progress and Saxito-bag progress. An old 1.0 failure is not evidence that the fix failed in your current build.

The same patch still lists Drop Pod skins making certain light materials disappear until restart. Other launch visual symptoms need their own version check; they should not be treated as the same issue.

Playing solo, with a crew, or on PS5?

Official source

Mycopunk supports solo play and cooperative missions. Windows PC and PS5 are the relevant platforms for this release. Multiplayer support alone does not establish crossplay; check the current platform listing and your partner’s version before making a purchase or planning a session.

For unlock help, use the requirement for the reward you want. A player-level requirement for a weapon does not establish the level gate for a different mission or character.
