Dysterra News

Hi Survivors,
This is Director. K.

In these days of spurring development, a crazy week has passed and it is already time to deliver this week’s Dev note.

This week, we prepared information about the addition of Armor Protection, improvement of the Sleeping Bag feature, and the Recycler.

[h2]📋 Added Armor Protection function 🦺[/h2]
Have you ever felt frustrated by losing advanced armor after being killed by an NPC or enemy attack?
Finally, as a way to reduce the burden in case of death, an Armor Protection function will be added.

Now, even if you die, the armor you are wearing will not drop.

[h2]📋 Added Storage feature to Sleeping Bag 🛏[/h2]
A Sleeping Bag is a must for survivors who do not yet have housing or are exploring areas far from their housing.

[h3]Sleeping Bag color variations[/h3]
Do you all recall fearing the fact that the enemy would find your only green Sleeping Bag in terrain other than the bushes? I’m sure you guys have all been there at least once.
Now, the color of the Sleeping Bag changes depending on the terrain it is installed on.

　　　　　　　　　　▲ Color of Sleeping Bag changing according to terrain

Besides the green Sleeping Bag, white, black, and even brown Sleeping Bags! I can hear the sound of survivability rising all the way here.

[h3]Sleeping Bag Storage features[/h3]
In order to protect valuable items, it was necessary to create a dedicated Storage Box or housing.
Now, Sleeping Bags can store up to 10 items in total.

These stored items in the Sleeping Bag cannot be taken by other survivors even if they find the Sleeping Bag.
However, if the Sleeping Bag is destroyed from an enemy attack, the stored items will also disappear. So you need to be extra careful with its usage, right?

[h2]📋 Recycler ♻[/h2]

On August 4th, we briefly introduced the Recycler from our future roadmap, and the details have been finalized.

The Recycler can recycle crafted items and it can be installed in housing.
When recycling, you can acquire the materials used to craft the item in a specific ratio.



For example, crafted items such as high-tier weapons that are difficult to repair or Fine Wires that are no longer used can be recycled as resources.
However, please note that raw materials such as Terrasites and Electrical Wires; bullets; food; items that cannot be obtained through crafting cannot be recycled.


How was this week’s Dev note contents? We hope you like the news!

Please leave your impressions or opinions on the news on Discord or Steam Forum.
Your diverse opinions are a great help in making Dysterra more fun!

Then, we will see you next week with more information through the Dev notes.
Thank you.

Hi survivors,
This is Director. K,

Following on from our last roadmap, this week we bring you the details of an upcoming update.
Please note that the contents reflected in the 4th Beta Test will be released every week through the Dev notes as we have informed you.

[h2]📋 High-Tier Regional Events 🪂[/h2]
Do you remember the regional events such as Orbital Supply and Swooping Attack, where you can get useful items early in the game?
We are preparing an upgraded version of these events.

[h3]High-Tier Regional event- Orbital Supply[/h3]
High-Tier regional event- Orbital Supply can now be found at Orbis Buildings located in the local hazard level 2 area.
Hacking skills are required to obtain the rewards, but keep in mind that you can get more rewards than before.



[h3]High-Tier Regional event- Swooping Attack[/h3]
Hyena Dropship and Hyena NPCs will appear with increased difficulty.
And of course, you can obtain better rewards when you clear them.

[h2]📋Turret Modeling Change & Upgrade Function🔫[/h2]
Existing turrets were modeled the same way as regular turrets that can be found in the field, and could only be distinguished by color depending on the type of ammunition installed.

However, the new type of turrets that we are preparing are expected to reflect clearly differentiated modeling according to the ammunition types.


　　　　　▲ New type of turret modeling(Light ammo, Shotgun shell, Energy ammo)

It’s not just the modeling improvements.
The upgrade function will increase range, damage, and accuracy on the turrets,
so please look forward to it.

We hope you like the news!
All Dysterra officials are always listening to the opinions and affectionate concerns of the survivors.
And based on this, we will do our best to improve further.

Then, we will see you next week with more information through the Dev notes.
Thank you.

Hi Survivors,

This is Director. K,

A while ago, we announced the 4th Beta Test news through a notice.
Today, we would like to introduce the future roadmap of Dysterra including the 4th Beta Test.

[h3]📋 Facility 🏟[/h3]
Facilities are one of the most important contents in Dysterra.
It was designed and developed to allow survivors to use the facility to directly choose the fate of the planet.

It was planned for a long time, but there were various variables in the actual service process, and we were able to determine the direction of improvement through the game play pattern analysis.

In the future, we plan to raise the difficulty level of the facilities to prevent a small number of survivors from taking over the facility phase controller, and we will also adjust the phase controller balance. In particular, there will be many revisions to the Seismic Wave, which had a lot of opinions from survivors.

We will be improving the verdict for NPCs to make better use of the phase controller in PVE servers and singleplayer.



Also, when the upper right area of the map(Gamma) is opened in the future, a very unique facility different from the existing facilities will be prepared, so please look forward to it.



[h3]📋 Global ranking system 🏆[/h3]
We're developing a Global ranking system to honor and reward the last survivors of fierce competition.



In particular, as the end of the world (server) through the terrafire eruption will have a significant impact on the Global ranking, we expect that the attack on facilities and phase control will become more intense.

In addition to the Global ranking leaderboard, the profile menu will provide more detailed information such as rankings, scores, achievements, terrasite transfer points, and PVP/PVE stats.



[h3]📋 Weapon 🔫[/h3]
We are planning to improve the battle by enabling more various types of battles by adding new types of weapons.

A representative example is considering the bullets with guidance function, sustained damage, etc., and we plan to increase usability by adjusting the balance of weapons that had low efficiency.


[h3]📋 Building(Housing) 🏡[/h3]
We are preparing a function to improve the defense and management convenience of the housing, and in particular, we will provide a function to repair damaged building parts more easily.

And the housing(Buildingcore) energy consumption system will continue to be balanced so that it cannot be built abnormally large in scale or to operate abnormally many installations.

[h3]📋 Vehicle 🚗[/h3]
As much as the opinions of survivors, our dev team is greedy for implementing various vehicles.

In the short term, we are preparing the appearance change function of the existing DYNAMO vehicle, and a completely different type of vehicle with an attack function is currently under development.



[h3]📋 Recycler ♻[/h3]
I’m sure it was a pain in the neck to throw away the items that were difficult to obtain but no longer needed.

We are preparing a Recycler that allows you to obtain some of the resources used in crafting at a certain rate.

And the Recycler can be conveniently used by installing it in the housing.



[h3]📋 Anti-Cheat 👮[/h3]
During the service period, various cheat methods were identified, so we have strengthened security through continuous updates, and various functions were added to enable quicker response to the cheaters.

Through this, it is expected that more Hacktools will be blocked fundamentally and a faster response to new cheats will be possible.

And, of course, we will continue to monitor and take action on reports of survivors!

[h3]📋 Release Date 📆[/h3]
As previously announced, Dysterra 4th Beta Test will be held for 1 week from August 30th,
and most of the contents introduced above are expected to be showcased during the 4th Beta Test period.

And Dysterra is preparing for an Early Access release in the 4th quarter of 2022, and will continue to provide new content and features after the Early Access.

All Dysterra officials are always listening to the various opinions of survivors, and we will do our best to include more opinions in the game.

See you next time with more information! Thank you.
