Dome Keeper with a DRILL

🎄Merry Rawcember, Keepers!🎄

🎅We hope you’re getting into the festive spirit and enjoying the holiday season already. But just in case you need a good giggle, we’re kicking off the holidays with a special stream to make you laugh.



🎄On Thursday, December 19th at 4:30 PM GMT / 5:30 PM CET, the incredible Nikoheart will be hosting a unique stream on his Twitch channel. We challenged him to play Dome Keeper with a drill, and he’s only gone and figured out a way to do it!

đŸ€ŁWe have a feeling this is one you won’t want to miss, so mark your calendars and join us in the chat on Thursday. I’ll be there on the Raw Fury Games account, so do say hi as I love hanging out with this wonderful community.

[h3]Recap:[/h3]

👉Also, don’t forget to join our Discord server! We now have bi-weekly community nights where you can meet and mingle with other Keepers, get tips on how to be the best dang Keeper there is, laugh at me as I stream my gameplay and die because I’m too distracted by chat, and just generally have a good time. Hope to see you there.

See you soon, Keepers!

v4.2 Update to "A Keeper's Duty"

[h2]Hey Keepers,[/h2]
it's time for probably the last patch of this update. It is more on the maintenance side with small improvements and bugfixes. We found a big performance issue on the cables of the relic in relic hunt. With this patch, the framerate on low end systems can be up to twice as high if the cables are active.
Secondly we did a lot of improvements for the mod loader. Read more about the plans for modding here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1637320/partnerevents/edit/4471606502586583905


On a sidenote, work on multiplayer is progressing well. There will be a playtest early next year, but definitely not in january. We'll tell more as soon as we have some reliable dates to share :)

[h2]Changelog[/h2]
Here is what's new for v4.2.0:
    game is now not exported in DEBUG mode
    fixed and improved many things with modding and the ModLoader
    improved performance significantly for the light and the relic cables
  • squidley now gathers resources that are closest to the dome (transport drones always did so)
  • rocketlauncher now will restock, if getting the restock supplement during combat
  • updated loc, improved some assignment descriptions
  • fixed issue when changing locale inside loadout
  • fixed cellar gadgets overlapping after reload if stationless probe was used
  • fixed assignment map being identical if restarted after losing run
  • fixed condenser water colors for double storage
