SR #22: Second Look at Cold Fusion
[h5][color]Greetings, esteemed colleagues![/color][/h5]
So long as time remains linear (we have it on good authority that it shall), we are inching ever closer to the Cold Fusion (1.0) release of Abiotic Factor where we answer (or ask) even more questions about your fate in the GATE Cascade Research Facility.
Questions such as:
Will Dr. Thule ever get his coffee? Will Dr. Cahn ever give us the words of approval we crave? Will Abe ever figure out how to get that submarine up and running? Will Janet ever get her “me time”?
Time will tell. And time, after all, is probably linear. Onward to… Residence Sector. The Shopping District. The Botanical Lab? These are all just words. Let’s throw some images out there, shall we?

[h3]Updated Roadmap[/h3]
The roadmap has received an update. While it’s not fully comprehensive, it does feature some of our favorite new things arriving in Cold Fusion.

[h3]The Praetorium[/h3]
Little is known about this clandestine vault. In the depths of this sanctuary, where order is kept, Clericum stalk the shadows of the archival halls.

In Cold Fusion, if you’ve not made a point of upgrading your equipment with the Enhancement Bench, doing so before venturing further would be most prudent.
[h3]Cubicles and Grid Snapping[/h3]
Ahh, the office cubicle. The pinnacle of space saving efficiency and individualism in the workplace. There is nothing more satisfying than pressing your own cubicle seamlessly up against your coworker’s cubicle, which is why gridsnapping is getting added - for now, just for cubicles. Maybe other things later?

[h3]Oh, Taco Mine[/h3]
Yearning for something that almost imitates Mexican cuisine? GATE’s* got you covered. Or rather, Jimmy’s got you covered.
*GATE is not currently focusing on the food court as much as it once did.
[h3]Power Leeches[/h3]
We sent a lot of feedback about the so-called Power Leeches to Dr. Thule and he said he can definitely contain their electrical discharges. He went ahead and built something or other and turned it on and now we have a much bigger problem.

Wow, thanks Dr. Thule. Really came through for us there. Still, he assures us that as a result of this, the smaller ones will be less of a nuisance in the future, so that’s something to look forward to.
[h3]The R.A.I.N Shower[/h3]
Whether you’re growing a third arm or just a bit smelly, this decontamination shower will get you right as R.A.I.N.

[h3]T4 Storage - The Compact Crate[/h3]
The new Compact Crate will allow even more storage space to help you minimize the clutter in your base and/or maximize your loot gremlin ways.

[h3]Void Chest[/h3]
Let the void swallow you whole, and then use it for storage! The Void Chest has but one inventory, stored in the void, and can be accessed from any other Void Chest, at any other location.

That does it for this Status Report sneak peek! Our next Status Report will be an FAQ about what moving into 1.0 will have on existing save files for our early scientists. If you’ve got any questions, feel free to pop them in the comments, send an email or pop in our Discord to ask us.
See you in the summer, scientists! Do stay warm out there, we hear it’s getting rather cold.
