| Community | Video Blog: Unit Upgrades Pt. 1 In this dev journal, we take a first look at the new Unit Upgrades system in Ashes of the Singularity II. We start with the PHC Commander, showing how a basic starter unit can become a battle hardened veteran with more health, stronger weapons, and even a new offensive drone bay module. From there we move on to the Hyperion dreadnought, upgrading its health and weapon damage to turn it into an… | — | |
| Community | Dev Journal: Real-Time Controls, Content, and Cohesion In the early era of RTS games, we did not have what later became known as ‘control groups’. Units were selected and ordered individually, or the user could drag-select a box around a group of units and issue (the same) order to all of them at once. That’s the basic gist, but it’s not the whole story. All the way back to some of the earliest real-time games, we had some unique control schemes. I… | — | |
| Community | Video Blog: Region Resources See how regions now work in Ashes of the Singularity II. In this dev journal we cover the new baseline resources you earn just for owning regions, how structures like the Quantum Archive multiply a region's output, and why grabbing the richest spots in the contested middle of the map is a real risk and reward call. | — | |
| Community | Video Blog: Turinium Victory Video Blog: Turinium Victory Wishlist Ashes II In this dev journal, we're taking a look at the Turinium Victory condition coming to Ashes of the Singularity 2.

We walk through a live ma… | — | |
| Community | Video Blog: HQ Upgrades This dev journal covers the new headquarter upgrade system coming to Ashes of the Singularity II, and it's worth a watch if you've ever lost a region because your HQ couldn't hold the line on its own. Each faction's headquarters can now be upgraded twice, and the final tier adds a unique turret that fits the faction's identity. The UEF gets a rail gun that hits incredibly hard against armored t… | — | |
| Community | Dev Journal: Unit Production Feedback Updates One of the recurring pieces of feedback we've received during Steam Nextfest and closed testing has been around unit production. While players understand how to create armies and reinforce existing armies, it has become obvious that we need to continue to improve the visibility into what is being produced, where units are being built, and how production queues are progressing across their produ… | — | |

We also showcase our new Tactical View, which keeps fog of war intact for the… | — | |
| Community | Video Blog: Combat Stats and Tooltips This week's dev journal dives into something that doesn't always get a lot of attention: the numbers behind how units actually fight. We walk through the tooltip changes we've made and what they reveal about weapon behavior, range, and damage in ways that aren't always obvious just from watching a battle. | — | |
| Community | Video Blog: New Orbitals Two new orbitals are coming to Ashes of the Singularity II. The EM Blast stuns enemy tanks and Titans while leaving your infantry standing, and the Nano Mesh Barrier throws a temporary shield on any friendly units to help them survive a bad engagement. | — | |
| Community | Video Blog: Hotkeys This video covers a restructured building system with dedicated hotkey rows for army buildings (QWER), resource buildings (ASDF), and defense buildings (ZXC), alongside a reworked unit recruitment screen that follows the same organizational logic, placing basic units on QWER, advanced units on ASDF, and air units across ZX through V. The consistent layout is designed to help players build muscl… | — | |
| Community | Video Blog: Orbitals Orbitals are active use abilities designed to boost your economy, drop in new units or cause catastrophic damage to enemy armies and turn the tide of a battle you might otherwise lose. We've made some changes to the way some of our Orbital abilities work. Firstly, some of the larger direct damage Orbitals now cause Friendly Fire damage, meaning you need to be careful where you place them if you… | — | |

| Community | Video Blog: Army Cohesion A major update to our pathfinding in Ashes II is now playable! Armies will now coordinate with all units within the army, attempting to move and arrive at destinations as a cohesive whole.

| Community | Video Blog: Pathfinding Updates Pathfinding is a tricky subject in RTS games, and especially if you’re trying to allow for maps that are more than just mostly flat spaces. In this dev journal, we’ll explore some of the updates we’ve implemented since Steam Next Fest to the pathfinding. We’ve been working on keeping units from clumping up, improving traffic control through tight spaces, and giving bigger units the priority to… | — | |
