Hello Everyone!

Welcome to dev update 08! (see previous updates 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07)

In this update we are focusing on Vehicle, Bot and Advanced Manufacturing.

Bots

The Carrier, Constructor and Miner bot from Planetbase are making a comeback, but with new designs and functionalities.

A new bot in PB2 will be the Scout Drone, a specialized air bot equipped with a scanner that can search for valuable resources.

There will also be another surprise air drone, that we will reveal later.

Bot Manufacturing

Bots are now produced in multiple steps, first you produce their parts in the Bot Workshop and then they get assembled in the Bot Assembler or Aero Assembler.

Vehicle Manufacturing

Two new structures are used to create the various vehicles: Rover, Harvester, Tanker and Truck.

In the Automotive Plant you will be producing vehicle parts like Tires, Engine and Chassis Parts.

These are then delivered to the Vehicle Assembler where they are put together into vehicles.

Fabrication Plant

This is the most advanced production facility in the game where you can create, Solar Cells, Blade Parts, Battery Cells, Electrolytic Cells and Semiconductors.

UI, Testing and More

We are starting to seriously test the game with large bases with a ton of entities in them.

We are also making a ton of UI improvements, like customizable panels, storage filters and more.

What's Next

We are now working on the other two worlds the game will feature, more updates soon!

Let us know what you think!

Martiño.
