The Nika's bug was a patcher glitch but setting worknika to 0 in the console/saveeditor will fix it! It's also remedied in 083e.
I check most posts on itch but have, unfortunately, very little time to reply to everyone. My work situation will change in a month or so but I put 99% of my community related time into our Discord server at the moment. I will respond to and/or read 100% of everything posted there. :)
