All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Playtest #4 Is Live Thursday!

The wait is almost over. Our 4th playtest is starting July 9th 4pm UTC, and it’s easily the biggest ORMOD update & playtest yet.

Patreon Supporters already have early-access now! Any new supporters, check your inbox for a key!

Over the past few months, we’ve been rebuilding and refining huge portions of the game based directly on player feedback.

This playtest introduces massive improvements across nearly every aspect of the game, from smarter enemies and redesigned interiors to a brand-new mobile base, upgraded systems, and significant performance optimizations.

THE BIGGEST ORMOD UPDATE YET!!!

These are only a few of the new additions. There are 100s

Completely redesigned interiors

  • New tutorial systems

  • New mobile base

  • Redesigned UI, inventory systems, and upgraded crafting mechanics

New Mechanoids!

  • Completely overhauled Mechanoid AI & Hordes (they can now hunt, search, retreat, stalk, evade, and work together more intelligently!)

  • New Mechanoid types and Mechanoid Horde system

  • New animations and weapons

New weather systems

  • New points of interest

  • New traders, auto-turret protection, secret stash & possible player-made shops!

  • Quick-craft, item throwing, and easier interactions

  • Redesigned scopes and improved audio

  • Major optimization and performance improvements

  • We’re especially excited about our server improvements, and we’re aiming to support 200+ player servers this time around!

Overhauled graphics, foliage, and environments

Access Dates

  • July 7th, 4PM UTC - Patreon Amber Supporters get early access, 48 hours before

  • July 8th, 4PM UTC - Creators & Steel Supporters, 24 hours before

  • July 9th, 4PM UTC - 10s of thousands of Steam & Discord Invites to you all

More details on getting access next week!

Special Events

  • Hidden Special Event & Server Slam (Friday, July 10th) We’re asking everyone to jump into a single server and push things to their limits! The goal? Break things, stress test the servers, and help us prepare ORMOD for the future.

  • Creator Event (Saturday, July 11th) We’ll also be hosting another creator event over the weekend. More details will be announced soon!

Don't forget to check out our Discord for details

Please Remember: This is a Playtest

Things may break, bugs will exist, and your feedback is incredibly valuable as we continue building ORMOD together. See you all in a few weeks!
