Critical Mass bridges the gap between the storyline of New Frontiers and our upcoming Dangerous Horizons expansion.

As is always the way when dealing with Group 15, you may find you leave with more questions than answers. What has Mo been doing since your discovery on Prometheus? Did Sol manage to keep your secrets safe? What else has the Group been hiding from the world? Only you can find out.

Welcome to Week 207.

This week, we’re introducing the Butchery Bench, a specialised workstation for all things meat preparation. It streamlines breaking down cuts and crafting prime ingredients, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen setup.

We’ve also added unique modifiers to every prime meat, giving each cut its own distinct effect and adding more strategy to how you plan your meals.

And coming next week, we’ll share a first look at wall cupboards, a new storage option to help keep your base organised and efficient.

• Fixing Biome Related Stamina Regen, Animal Threat, Exposure Resistance player stats as in some cases they where not being applied correctly, this fixes a few player & creature talents.
  
• Fixed issue where some NPC jump actions were very choppy and rubber-banded for clients in certain situations. This mostly affected Cats, Rock Golem.
  
• Ensure all Saddle SK meshes have a basic physics asset for render culling purposes. This fixes saddles disappearing from view when looking at certain angles/animations.

This week, we’re introducing the Butchery Bench - a new Tier 3 craftable station designed to elevate your food preparation options. It neatly snaps to the existing Kitchen Bench and Biofuel Stove, giving your cooking setup a more cohesive feel. With the Butchery Bench, you can break down prime meats into regular raw meat or combine raw cuts to craft prime variants, giving prospectors greater control over their resources and more variety in their diets.


[hr][/hr]

We’ve also made adjustments to how prime meats function. Previously, all prime cuts granted the same modifier when consumed, but now each type offers its own unique effect. This change allows you to stack the benefits from two different prime meats, opening the door to more strategic meal planning and improved flexibility as you prepare for your next expedition.



Now that prime meats can be stacked (up to three active at a time, since each has unique modifiers), and considering they were already quite powerful, we’ve reduced their buff duration to bring them in line with the other campfire foods. We’ve also added minor buffs to the Tier 3 smoked meats to ensure they match the power level of the other T3 options. The general design goals for these changes are outlined below:

Next week we are adding a new way to store your resources while giving your base a more homely vibe. We are adding a few new cupboards which can be deployed exclusively on walls. Check them out next week.

Welcome to Week 206.

This week we are adding the Impact Grenade, a new explosive that detonates on impact instead of relying on a timer - making tactical throws quicker and more reliable in the heat of battle.

As a sneak peek at what’s ahead we provide a little information about T5 and the oil extraction loop, broadening how you’ll gather resources and build strategic bases from the ground up.

Next week, look out for the Butchery Bench, a new station that will give you more options for processing and cooking meat - beefing up your survival workflow and culinary flexibility.

• Improved UI for highlighting missions when searching in that mission select screen
  
• Add Saddles and Tame Beds filters for use on the Ranching Station.
  
• Moved fillable circle to location where stack is - since stackable items cannot have the fillable trait
  
• Fix Tusker Mount getting stuck on doorways by resizing/positioning cloth collider
  

[hr][/hr]

This week we’re introducing the Impact Grenade, now available in the T3 Tech Tree and craftable at the Machining Bench. Unlike the original grenade, it detonates on impact - delivering maximum damage at the point of contact, with damage falling off around the radius.

While it deals slightly less damage than the standard grenade, its instant-explosion nature makes it ideal for clearing packs of creatures. Just be careful: if you’re too close, you might blow youself up.


[hr][/hr]

As we mentioned last week, we are working hard on our next major expansion alongside our usual weekly updates, but we wanted to show you some backstage content as we work on it.



We are adding Oil Extraction and Processing as the Core base for a new tech Tier T5. Oil whether collected from a geyser and processed or generated a cleaner way becomes to core for the new resources which unlocks T5. These geysers will be present in clumps and be added to all existing maps when ready.



Anyone who was in the experimental at the beginning of the week would have has a very early (accidental) preview in the upcoming expansion. Unfortunately it is a little to early for public testing. So keep checking these weekly updates for more information.


[hr][/hr]

Next week, we’re introducing the Butchery Bench. This new station will allow you to break down prime meats using existing recipes as well as unlock entirely new recipes, enabling you to craft prime meats from scratch.

Welcome to Week 205.

This week, we're adding a new Stone Brick Fireplace to match your Stone Brick houses, giving your builds a bit more charm and detail.

We're also sharing a first look at a new biome on an upcoming map: the Geothermal Biome. It brings some unique landscapes and features that we think you'll enjoy exploring.

Next week, we'll be introducing a new Grenade Variant, adding another combat option for surviving on Icarus

• Fixed issue where Stalkers would drastically increase in size when shot with projectiles while fighting.
  
• Fixing issues where tooltips in the tech tree where not showing the resources required for the recipe (such as milk, biofuel and water).
  
• Increased Fur drop on Tusker to match the amount it should be dropping, giving its position within the biomes and spawn group.

[hr][/hr]

This week, we're introducing a new Tier 3 unlockable item: the Stone Brick Fireplace. Crafted at the Advanced Masonry Bench, it’s designed to perfectly match your Stone Brick building pieces, adding both function and style to your builds.

The Stone Brick Fireplace is a wood-burning counterpart to the Biofuel Fireplace. It provides the same cooking speed bonus, while offering a different aesthetic for those who prefer a more classic or rustic look. Whether you're furnishing a cozy home or upgrading your settlement, this fireplace gives you another way to make your spaces feel lived-in and unique.


[hr][/hr]

As we mentioned last week, we are working hard on our next major expansion alongside our usual weekly updates, but we wanted to show you some backstage content as we work on it.



This week, we’re excited to give you a closer look at one of the major new features: the Geothermal Biome. This unique environment features large sulfur pools, treacherous crevasses, and a steam filled atmosphere, offering new challenges and gameplay opportunities.



The biome also introduces a variety of new resources and a host of creatures adapted to this extreme environment, providing fresh encounters and challenges for explorers.


[hr][/hr]

We are adding something small but deadly next week - the impact frag grenade. This is a new grenade that explodes on impact instead of after a set amount of time providing a new way damage your foes. Be sure to check it out next week.
