February 2021 – Hope, Perseverance, and the Heavenly Question
Heads up, Martians! In celebration of the Perseverance mission landing and the successful orbits of Hope and Tianwen probes, we will be giving away free items on February 18, 2021! Be sure to check out the gold discounts as well, available on the 18th.
Heads up, Martians! This week we’re bringing you a couple quality-of-life updates based on your player feedback from the “Voice of the Martian” Trackers. Don’t see the update you were hoping for in this week’s releases? Fear not, as there is still plenty more to come!
Chat copy-to-clipboard
Chat messages have been updated. Was that last chat so funny you want to save it forever? Confused if someone using another language is talking trash or feeling friendly? All messages now have a “Copy to Clipboard” feature. You can paste into your favorite translation program or your secret repository of clan messages.
May the ability to translate chat messages bring more understanding and enjoyment of the game rather than less!
New “Repair Base” button
You may notice a new wrench button on your controls. This new repair base feature will allow you to bring back the repair for gold window if you chose “repair slowly”.
It will also inform you via tooltip/hovertext how much gold it will take to fully repair your base.
Best of all, once your buildings hit the free repair threshold, the wrench will turn green, indicating that you can repair all buildings for free with a single click. No more visiting each building in your base and clicking “speed up” when they hit five minutes.
Heads up, Commander! We have a small update this week.
Due to the changes in the Facebook API, all friend recruitment quests haven’t been working as intended. We’ve decided to disable these quests. If you completed one of these quests, you should see an achievement in the Legacy category:
“Congrats on being such a friendly person!”
For all Facebook games: you will no longer see the friend bar if you have no Facebook friends in game. If you still have the friend bar, you will no longer be prompted or be able to add new friends, but you can still send & receives gifts to the friends that you already have.
Firestrike is not affected as it primarily uses the Battlehouse login system.
Thunder Run players using the Kongregate platform are not affected.
Battlefront Mars players using the Battlehouse login system are not affected.
In the future, we do plan on bringing back the “friends” bar, but more as a “clan bar.” We’re open to player feedback on how they’d like to see this implemented.
If you have any suggestions about this, or any general feedback you’d like to share, please let us know over the “war-star-empire”channel within our Thunder Run Discord Server.

Deactivate your mines
We have heard your feedback loud and clear, and now, it is possible to disable minefields.
You can now disable your minefields during single-player AI attacks if you wish. This will automatically remove itself if you log out, or can be removed any time you want by clicking the status indicator icon and choosing “Remove” or clicking “Manage” on any mine and then clicking “Enable Minefields”
“Disable minefield” (or “Enable” if currently disabled) button at the bottom
Known issue: When building new mines, the “Disable/Enable mine” button overlapswith the progress bar. This will be fixed really soon.
Upgrade/Unlock mouse-wheel support
And that’s not all, Commander! We made some tweaks to the UI as well! Upgrade and unlock windows now support mouse-wheel scrolling. No more clicking on the arrows on the top left of those windows!
