Development Branch update - v1.600

[p]Hello Terraformers! [/p][p][/p][p]We've just updated a new version (v1.600) on the development branch.
To try it, see the "How to switch branches?" question in the FAQ. [/p][p][/p][p]This update allows you to playtest, for free, a really early version of the new Toxicity DLC. [/p][p][/p][p]First, be sure to duplicate your save files before trying it.


We will divide this playtest into multiple Steps as we need a bit more time to finish the full DLC:[/p][p][/p][p]STEP ONE (now) : Try the new planet (either from a new save or interplanetary travel), the purification global value, discover just a few biomes and the new "toxic areas" mechanic. There is a lot of issues still, we are mostly looking for your feedbacks on the new mechanics or game breaking bugs. Streamers : If you decide to try it, remember to mention that it's a really early preview.[/p][p][/p][p]STEP TWO : We will add more biomes in the coming weeks untill the planet is fully available to playtest.[/p][p][/p][p]STEP THREE : The DLC will release on November 17th. From then on, you'll have to purchase it to continue your adventure.[/p][p][/p][p]Let us know what you like or do not like on those first biomes, how you like the new items and if you have major performances issues.[/p][p][/p][p]As usual, restart Steam to get the update, and backup your save before trying the dev branch. All players must have the same version to play co-op. If you have issues launching the game, remove all your mods before reporting bugs.[/p][p]

Temporary changelog : [/p][p] [/p][p]Major changes
[/p]
  • [p]New planet "Toxicity" available from a new game or the departure rocket. [/p]
  • [p]New purification and toxic related mechanics and items.[/p]
  • [p]On a toxic planet, the energy generation is correlated to the purification of the planet. You need to increase the global purification to use your energy.[/p]
  • [p]On a toxic planet, you'll encounter "toxic areas" where a new gauge will show up on your screen. Once the gauge is at zero, you'll get health damage.[/p]
  • [p]For now, we won't explain everything to see how players reacts :)[/p]
