Black Tidal Update is Live

[p]We are happy to announce the the Black Tidal update is now live. A whole new region with 4 new asteroid classes, all new resources with a focus on liquids, which can now be harvested using the Liquid Pump. Lets take a look at everything this update has in store!

New Region - New Corporation - New Resources - New Asteroid Classes

[/p][p]As you explore you will encounter some new liquids but beware - some of them may not be so friendly!
[/p][p]New Blueprint - The Liquid Pump[/p][p]
[/p][p]Place it next to any body of water, toss the hose into the liquid and just watch it slowly package up the liquids into nice compact containers ready for transit. Once a liquid body is drained you can start building and exploring the empty basin!

This new piece of equipment can help you optimise resource routes, cross chasms and even shoot up hills to get resources out of a gorge. [/p][p][/p][p]Level 3 Pirates[/p][p]
[/p][p]You will now encounter pre-built pirate defences on Asteroids with 💀💀💀 Pirate Activity. Make sure you clear the asteroid before sending your workerbots out![/p][p][/p][p]
New Manufacturing Machine - The Clarifier + Larger Manufacturing Bay

[/p][p]You can now operate more machines in various configurations with 4 manufacturing slots and make use of the new Clarifier which can help split certain resources down into two outputs.

The Pause Menu now features a new Help / Debug section that can Reset the Command Bot and Astronaut in case they find themselves in some game-breaking location. We also have links to places where you can learn more or report bugs as well as a Command Line Console where we have some commands that will help us gather data or make fixes if problems arise.


Congratulations! you made it to the end of this message! We hope you enjoy the update. Thanks for joining us on this Early Access ride. Our plans are now to spend several weeks polishing things up, improving quality of life and fixing some pain points before we switch gears into finishing up the next region.
