Hey guys! New update is out. Tons of new stuff from new equipable mech suits to things falling from the sky! Lets go over some of the highlights.
Mech Suits
We have added a new way to protect your survivors and improve their work output! Rideable mechs.
Mechs are crafted at the new building the V-Bay. In future you will be able to craft other vehicles at this station. After they are crafted you can assign a survivor to one and they will enter it. Once inside the vehicle will enhance their work output as well as serve as a protective barrier from enemies!
Item textures revamp
As the game grows older some of the old textures for items looked not up to standard with the rest of the game. As such we went through all of the items in the game and re-drew and touched up the majority of them. Some of the changes can be spotted just from the start!
Objects from space!
New random events have been added. Space debris will now fall from the sky. This will be yet another source of renewable metal. However be careful as it will destroy structures and start fires on impact!
Performance improvements
A deep dive on things that would cause the game to drop below 60 FPS was done and a ton of improvements have been made. The power network had a massive backend overhaul and now runs significantly better. As well the power view mode would cause lag on large bases in previous updates, It now runs at a crisp 60 FPS!
Final thoughts
The update finally got here! Sorry for the delays lots of things have been coming up recently that have made it harder to get things done on Rekindling. Plenty more is planned for Rekindling that didn't make the cut this update, but is already half done, such as transport belts and automated buildings! Thank you guys for your continued support as always let us know what you think of the game and the update via the Steam forums, Discord or with a Steam Review (those help us out a ton :) ) and of course if you are feeling extra generous to support our projects check us out on Patreon
