Development Update
Hello! We have entered May and are working hard to get the Black Tidal region for you all this month!
FIrst lets do a rundown of the news
The Roadmap has been updated
You can check that out here
We're launching an Astronomics Wiki on wiki.gg
Efforts spearheaded by Alikimoko and a group of great folks he has gathered are about to yield some incredible results as we welcome the official Astronomics wiki. It has been a tremendous endeavour and we've been helping as best we can. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort, the folks at wiki.gg and especially to Alikimoko who has done the bulk of the heavy lifting. Very exciting to see this go live sometime in May.
March Update Launched last month
The post about the March update never got more than some patch notes so here's a rundown of some of the new equipment that has been introduced to the game at the end of March!
The Gravity Well
A contraption that lets you feed matter into a tiny black hole to then exert a counter force to the asteroid causing it to stop and give you more time to mine resources!
The Forcefield
A portable piece of equipment that produces a defensive shield that will block pirate bullets and prevent pirate pods from landing inside! But beware, the pirates can still walk in, just like you and the workerbots can.
The Portable Battery
A portable battery that allows you to charge out in the field. Great when paired with the workerbot delivery system. Forget going back to the shuttle - take some extra juice with you.
The Black Tidal Update
Finally a sneak peek at the Black Tidal Content we are working on for this month! The Liquid Pumps - build these near bodies of liquid and dunk the hose to start pumping! Once pools are drained you can proceed to extract the resources within!
We are still working to address some of the more urgent bugs you have reported, and improve the Manufacturing experience before this update goes out - look for those in the coming days.
We've also got some grass shader improvements that will hopefully be improving the performance, especially at higher resolutions, when the May update goes live!
Thanks for making it all the way to the end! Cheers!
