Hi Everyone!
We’re kicking off this month with a fresh Developer Blog post, offering you more sneak peeks at what we’re working on for the upcoming content update.
First things first, we need to be transparent with you and say it upfront: we will not share the release date of the first content update with you just yet. The entire team is very excited to deliver new content, alongside a large batch of fixes and improvements, as soon as possible. Stay tuned and follow us for more info regarding the official release date!
But can we say anything about the contents we’re working hard to deliver to you? Of course we do!
So let’s start with a little bit of a foretaste of what’s cooking:
Last month, we only teased you with the concept art for the Zipline, but that was not a drill, and the Zipline will make its way to StarRupture in the first content update! You can have a first look at the new transportation method in action.
The Zipline will allow you to zoom through vast terrains of Arcadia-7 in a breeze!
As with most things on Arcadia-7, the Zipline must first be unlocked in the Corporate Terminal and then constructed to form a handy transportation network! It works similarly to Drone Rails, but the main difference is that you’ll be the precious cargo zipping through its fast lines, and not the resources!
The update will continue your venture into Arcadia-7 by unveiling new terrains that are waiting for you to be unlocked. Beyond the radiation barrier, you will encounter new types of precious resources - Goethite & Powerium.
Those resources will require new technology for harvesting and processing, and you’ll be able to develop new production pipelines with over 40+ new items and recipes to produce and ship to Corporations.
Oil Extractor is a new building used to extract Powerium. Can be placed only on Powerium deposits.
Refinery is a new processing building that refines raw Powerium into Products.
- Laser Drill is a new extraction building used to extract Goethite. Can be placed only on Goethite deposits.
- Pyro Forge is a new processing building that refines raw Goethite into Products.
Thanks to the new upcoming Development Station, you will be able to upgrade selected buildings and machines to their higher-tier and more heavy-duty versions.
The Development Station will enable you to unlock buildings such as Ore Excavator v.2 or Orbital Cargo Launcher v.2, among others.
And this will be it from us for this blog post! What is the feature you are most excited about?
Until the next one,
Creepy Jar
