Hello everyone!
The Calm Before the Storm update is coming next week, so let’s have one last glance at what’s gathering on the horizon.
- Reserve Bench: Hire bots into reserve, to be called into active duty later. Bots can be called into active duty at the HR manager, or when you lose a character in Permadeath mode.
- Visual improvements: Keep your eyes peeled for new loading screen images, level backgrounds in the Cold Caverns and the Great Sea, and new background creatures swimming in the distance.
- Jovian radiation improvements: The intensity of the radiation will ramp up quicker the deeper you are in a radiation zone, and will eventually become too strong to withstand even in a hazmat or PUCS suit. Some monsters will also get stronger when irradiated, adding to the danger.
- Improved abandoned outpost modules, and 14 entirely new modules contributed by NotWendy.
- Three new alien ruin modules, a new ruin mission, and fixes to alien ruins.
- A new alien ruins themed outpost for the Outpost Deathmatch mode.
- Minor rework of the Remora sub, plus fixes to the Kastrull, Winterhalter and Typhon subs.
- Various optimizations, and fixes to multiplayer syncing issues to reduce the amount of rubberbanding in combat.
- A long list of bugfixes and improvements to bot AI.
- An even longer list of general bugfixes and QOL changes.
Read more about the update now on our blog, and get ready for the release next week!
