Playtest #4 Is Now Live!

This week’s playtest is easily the biggest and most challenging yet! With improved AI, new Mechs, a new mobile base, and better server optimization and support, we’re expecting this playtest to be next-level!

60,000 people already have access, and we plan to invite *50,000-100,000* new players for this playtest.

Remember: this is a playtest! Things may break, bugs will exist, and your feedback is incredibly valuable as we continue building ORMOD together.

How To Get Access

Anyone with access to a previous playtest will automatically have access to this playtest.

  • Amber/Steel Patreon Supporters and ORMOD Creators already have access.

  • Discord sign-ups will receive a key and access information via email from the ORMOD team.

  • Steam sign-ups will be granted access ***RANDOMLY*** via Steam and will receive a notification email from Steam. *This access will be granted in waves throughout the playtest period.*

  • Frequent key drops are in the #giveaways channel or from #creator-content throughout the playtest.

Keep an eye on your email and check your spam folder!

Reminder: Special Events!

Overgrown Servers (Throughout the playtest)

The servers have continued to receive world overgrowth. Older servers will now be covered in vines & decay, with harder survival conditions & more geared players. New players, keep an eye on FRESH servers for a more beginner-friendly experience.

Server Slam (Friday, July 10th)

Get ready to push ORMOD’s servers to their limit! You’ll jump into a single server with as many people as possible. Tell your friends! The goal is to break things, stress-test the servers, and help us prepare ORMOD for the future.

We will announce the server details on the day, so keep an eye out!
