[h2]We love a good blueprint.[/h2]

Players have submitted more than 33,000 of them on the Steam Workshop. That's amazing!

It leads us to an important question: What are the best LEAST KNOWN blueprints in the workshop?


This weekend, we have a challenge for you: help us go beyond the Most Popular and Most Subscribed tabs. Help us find the interesting, unique, impressive blueprints that slipped through the cracks. Help us find the unsung heroes of the Blueprint Workshop.

Once you've found your favorite lesser known blueprint...

1. Build it and take a screenshot.
   
2. Upload the screenshot to our Artwork hub.
   
3. Include the workshop URL, AND the hashtag #UnsungBlueprints in the image description.
   

We will award 150 coins to every player who participates!

Deadline: Monday, June 8 at 2pm CDT.

To aid you in your quest, you can claim 5 free QBits right now in the store!! That's enough to buy a kit or auto-build even the largest of blueprints. To claim them: click on the ticket icon near your coin total (top right) and enter the code: UNSUNG


(Hurry though; the code will expire upon the event's deadline.)

Good luck and happy hunting!

[h3]You know how we've been adding a lot of new stuff to the store lately?[/h3]
It's all on sale right now.

Anything sold via coins is 30% off this weekend. It's a great time to grab some QBits and try auto-building a few blueprints, or maybe the Ye Olde Hammer to assist with enhanced mob-drop harvesting, or maybe some Rocket Packs for a little stunt building. Whatever floats your voxel boat.

Sale ends Monday June 1 at 10am CDT.

Dear valued Creator,

As you know, our mission is to be in Creativerse worlds around the universe! Due to high demand, we've been wanting to contract out some help. That is where YOU come in.

Your mission: Help us build a new store in your area with our Industrial Accessories Set. Feel free to hire out help from the QBIts.

Once you build the perfect branch in your world, upload it to Steam ArtWork or Steam Screenshots with the hashtag #QBitsBranchOpening. We will compensate you with 200 coins, 5 QBits, and 5 Rocket packs to your account.

Creators are welcome to build in teams, but each participant must submit a screenshot separately with the hashtag #QbitsBranchOpening.

Our CEO, Miru Smith, will be expecting the branches complete by 12:00 PM CST on Monday, June 1st! Be sure you upload your images up by then!

Happy Building, Creators

R.2.69.01

Hear ye, Hear ye, Creators!

What's the most natural way to follow up a space-themed, rocket-fueled update? With a 180 degree twist in space-time. Specifically: a huge assortment of middle age-themed decorative items! We think the two epochs make for an interesting pairing. Galactic Knights of the Holodeck Table, anyone? The Medieval Accessory Bundle is new in the store, and it's also free to all players for a limited time! Grab it quick!

Even though this is a smaller update, it has a lot of bugfixes we wanted to get out to you asap. Thanks to everyone who helped bring them to our attention! Can't wait to share what we have in store for the next few updates!
