Acquire O.P.H.E.L.I.A.’s new drill mod then start slamming the ground in search of hidden resources.

Each strike sends out a scan that will look for subterranean deposits. Follow the green scan line to the source and strike the ground again to unearth a brand new mineral deposit which can be mined with O.P.H.E.L.I.A.!



Or slap an Exporter on it for automated mineral collection!



[h2]And much more… 🚀[/h2]

My focus for the v3 Beta was to improve the overall feel of the game. I made a ton of smaller changes including UI overhauls, game feel adjustments, and brand new particle effects.

[h3]Structure effects to make things juicer 🔥[/h3]

All the game’s crafting stations have working effects like steam, smoke, and sparks to make crafting feel more lively and tactile.



[h3]Peaceful weather for immersion but also a new danger ☔[/h3]

Enjoy some light rain, wind, and blowing leaves, but beware of solar storms!





[h3]Change your look 👓[/h3]

Customize your character’s appearance with the new Changing Station.



[h3]Improving bot behaviors 🤖[/h3]

I’ve introduced a new way to think about logistics by linking logistics bots directly to a single Crafting Station or Exporter. This means logistics bots will only collect resources for that specific structure and effectively automate its production.



[h3]Quality of life ✌[/h3]

I’ve added a new Orders Widget to the game’s HUD allowing a quick glance at what orders you have and what materials you still need to ship. I also added key rebinding and a variety of other new settings options so you can customize your experience.
