Nomad News

Hello Survivors!

Introducing the first Machine in Nomad, the Auger Drill. This is first of many I want to add over this patch cycle. Let there be machines!



The Auger Drill is an automatic machine that drills through your foundations and gathers all mining materials. Simply power it with Fuel and let it run. It does not damage your foundations and can be only placed on foundations.

Caution, it is loud!

Gold Ore is exclusive to only the Auger Drill and won't find it through Mining Nodes. Expect to see more exclusive items through the drill in the coming patches.



Copper and Copper Ore are new to Nomad. This material is for building and crafting machines. Expect to use a lot if you want to create them.

Also in this update is Gold Ore, which can be only found through the Auger Drill.



Let's face it, the vehicle handling was pretty bad. Vehicles now have proper weight to them and should feel 10x better.


For the full list of changes, see the changelog below.

Thanks for playing,
