Greetings from Orbis!

I’d like to share more about the stories behind the factions of Orbis and Ararat Island.
I briefly explained Orbis and the Hyenas a few Dev Notes back, but now I'd like to delve deeper
into how the Hyenas came about, and how they came to be a major force on the island.

As usual, let us know through Discord if you want more information about anything specific.
We’re always listening.



[h3]📒 The Origin of the Hyenas[/h3]
The Orbis space station, once a symbol of hope to humanity, gradually shifted its focus away
from its inhabitants.

Eventually, the government contracted the Helbine Corporation to replace a
significant portion of the workforce with robots, resulting in widespread unemployment
and the emergence of anti-government rebel factions.

Among these was a group of ex-military and police officers who had lost their jobs to the robots
and turned to smuggling and contract killing.

Initially acting as vigilantes and suppliers to the Orbis black market, this group,
known as the Hyenas, grew in size and power to become a major organized crime syndicate.

After a major rebellion on the space station, the Hyenas absorbed other outlaw groups and
expanded their influence, but when the government began cracking down on crime,
they fled to the planet's surface.

There, they fought alongside Vanessa Holden and the Pioneers against the Orbis government.



[h3]📒 A New Start on the Surface[/h3]
After occupying a supply base in the Delta region, they attempted to take down the Vulkan,
but were nearly annihilated.

Fortunately, their captain overloaded the plant's electronic converter,
causing a massive explosion that burned the entire region and left their captain,
Ethan Ruiz Reyes, missing.



Jeanne Belleville, who regarded Ethan as a father figure, assumed control of the Hyenas and blamed the Pioneers for his loss, vowing to eliminate them.

You’ll find many of their corpses scattered throughout the Bunker.

Only a few Pioneers are still alive, including Vanessa Holden.



[h3]📒 What They Want[/h3]
The Hyenas have commandeered numerous Orbis bases and equipped them with portals to connect to their mountain supply base.

Their expertise in weaponry and tactics is not to be underestimated, and Jeanne is easily provoked,
willing to kill anyone who gets in her way.

The Hyenas' ultimate objective is to establish their own independent government with themselves at the helm, with little concern for the safety of Earth or Orbis.

    when purchasing multiple items from the Terrasite trasmitter.

🔧 Fixed an issue of wheels not moving while riding on the vehicle 

🔧 Minimized frame drop while playing the game.

🔧 Problem of character creation notation error in the lobby server list.

🔧 Gamepad support

🔧 Expansion of areas where you can build housing
　　🎤Dev comments🎤
    💬 Currently, surrounding areas of major bases and facilities restrict players 
         from building housing to prevent monopolization and abuse.
         However, since we received many complaints about the inconvenience these 
         restrictions cause, we are considering reducing the restricted area 
         and will be reflecting the reduction in our next update!

[h2]🔍 Content being fixed or being prepared[/h2]

🧪 Abnormal movement/behavior of some animal NPCs
🎤Dev Comments🎤
    💬We are constantly checking the movement/attack patterns of NPCs.
        We will quickly identify what is causing the issue and fix it as soon as possible

🧪 Improving loading speed.
🎤Dev Comments🎤
　　💬We are continuously working on optimization and other related issues to 
        reduce the time it takes to load servers and run game.

🧪 Difficulty level for field boss Juggernaut
🎤Dev Comments🎤
　　💬 We have been getting reports about Juggernaut being too easy to take down, 
        and bugs that you can take advantage of by using surround walls. 
        Juggernaut will be back with better AI.

🧪 Considering providing a skill reset
🎤Dev Comments🎤
    💬 We have been getting complaints about not being able to reset your skills, and we are thinking
        about adding a skill reset method. For instance, you would have to reset your skills 
        by acquiring certain items through crafting or Facility raids. 

🧪 Fixed an issue where the character could not fully aim down below

🧪 Fixed an issue where the hotkey worked when using the search function on a workbench, etc.

🧪 Issues with installations being installed improperly
　　🎤Dev comments🎤
    💬We are considering improvements for issues such as not being able to place items
        like the Workbench close to the walls, and not being able to automatically align 
        these benches in the direction where the character is looking at. 

🧪 Changing existing settings for Single Player mode
🎤Dev comments🎤
    💬We are considering a modification function for survivors who must have been frustrated 
        because it was impossible to change the settings in the middle of Single Player mode.
        You can change the Single Player mode settings by modifying the contents of the file 
        located in the folder below.
　　- Folder location: >\Dysterra\Dysterra\WorldSettings\SinglePlay.json

🧪 Planned improvements to the long crafting time of forges
　　🎤Dev comments🎤
　　💬The existing balance was set to encourage the forges to operate automatically while
　　the player explores the world and loots major bases and facilities,
　　but we are considering introducing the ‘Forge Upgrade System’ as quickly as possible
　　to incorporate opinions from players.
　　We will be back soon with better and hopefully more intuitive forges.

Greetings from Orbis!

Things have finally settled down in our offices following the push to get Season 2 ready on time.
We’re still going to release consistent patches, and we’re definitely going to sprinkle in new content whenever we can.

This week we have mostly quality of life changes, but also some new items that can be recycled into very useful crafting materials.

[h2]📒 Quests wait until you’re done fighting.[/h2]

I know most of you have tried the tutorial (known in-game as the mission guide).

There were occasions when Vanessa would start talking about your next mission while you were in the middle of a fight. Nobody wants to be distracted when there’s a gun pointed at their head.



That’s why we’ve added a new condition to any base-building related quests:
A new quest will not be introduced while NPCs are targeting you.

The game now lets you finish what you’re doing before Vanessa starts telling you what’s next on your agenda. Let us know if there are any instances where it needs further adjustment.

[h2]📒 Changed some drops[/h2]
In this patch, we’ll be adding a couple new useful items:

[h3]◾ Metal Specimen[/h3]

[h3]◾ Titanium Specimen[/h3]

[h3]◾ Lithium Specimen[/h3]

While Ararat’s facilities are currently battlegrounds, they were originally for research. We’re hoping to include more world building in small ways like this for the foreseeable future. You’ll be able to find them in the Bunker, as well as when defeating a juggernaut(instead of the RF-9 shotgun it used to drop).

These items can be broken down at a recycler into very high level and useful materials.

[h2]📒 Newly Purchasable Items![/h2]
Work smart, not hard! Instead of farming for items all day, just buy what you need at a terrasite transmitter. You can find them next to most Hyena portals(marked on your map), or you can install one in your home. All you need to do is transmit some terrasite up to Orbis for some terrapoints, and then use those terrapoints to buy whatever’s on sale at the moment.

[h3]Newly added items include:[/h3]

• Medical Shot Lv. 1
  
• Anti-Radiation Shot Lv. 1
  
• Cooling Shot
  
• Heating Shot
  
• Light Ammo
  
• Energy Ammo
  
• Shotgun Shell
  
• Sniper Ammo
  
• Frag Grenade
  

With the need for mutant mushrooms to make anti-radiation shots, this should be a nice way to stock up when you’re in a rush. But remember that you can only purchase a limited amount of each item, and items may rotate in and out of stock, so it’s good to buy things before you need them.

[h2]📒 Bug Fixes[/h2]

[h3]Buildings[/h3]
✅ Base parts weren’t snapping together. Fixed it.

[h3]Enemies[/h3]
✅ Enemies were popping through walls. They shouldn’t anymore.
✅ Animals weren’t making sounds while walking. You should hear bears sneaking up on you now.
✅ Animals and enemies weren’t moving their feet correctly when turning, or they seemed to be walking on ice. We put our foot down and stopped the problem.

[h3]Inventory[/h3]
✅ Some people lost their protocols while trying to drag their protocol to the repair bench while their inventory was full. That won’t happen any more.

[h3]Other fixes[/h3]
✅ Some containers where floating up in the air. We bolted them down so they’ll stay in place.

[h3]UI[/h3]
✅ We fixed several small UI issues across the board.


Okay. That’s a wrap for this week.
I’ll see you on the servers!
