Stationeers News

It’s a landmark update as we bring interplanetary travel to Survival Mode – one small step for a Stationeer, a giant leap towards our core experience!

We’ve also got our sights on stable, so there’s been serious hardening happening, plus awesome audio additions, UI renovations, tutorial upgrades, bug fixes and lots, lots more.

There’s rockets, rockets everywhere – so let’s head for the stars, one planet at a time…



Did we mention, you can now build a ROCKET in Survival Mode?

This system will become a pillar of our core game, and we’re keen to see what you think!

Head for the stars, explore new worlds, and take essential gear with you. There’s a special audio surprise (see below), and the team has also replaced almost all of the wall construction elements as part of a broader hardening push - one that will continue in the next update.



Zeroing in on the core game also means making tough balance decisions. So we’ve tweaked the autominer, and cut the Fabricator from Survival: it was OP, and you know it.

We’re looking to the community for more balance suggestions, so don’t be shy with your ideas, but also, don’t be surprised if a few values shift in future updates! [Discord.gg/Stationeers]



You’ll also notice over recent update cycles that UI has been getting some major love. That’s continued! With our resident UI gurus bringing the entire In-world info system into line, it’s brought a new look and feel to the way we deliver information.

A behemoth effort from two key team members, directed at clarity, brevity and a new level of accessibility to fresh players. More broadly, it’s a reflection of the team listening to the community, and focusing on what you’re asking for: simpler, smarter UI.

Thank you to everybody who provided feedback on the tooltips during their rework! A special thanks to virusek20!

Keep watching, because there’s more to come (Stationpedia, we’re looking at you).



As we gear up for a push towards ‘stable’, we’re starting to focus on hardening Stationeers - ensuring it stands up to the weird and wonderful things you want to do with it.

Automation is at the heart of the game, so we’ve tightened the bolts and whirled the knobs on our import/export systems for every device in the game. There’s also big changes under the hood in our save system, a raft of bug fixes, security upgrades, world rendering improvements and more.

Expect even more in the near future.

We don’t want to brag, buuut … our audio design attained new levels of awesomeness this update with the Space Organ.

Yes, you can now build a fully functional organ in Stationeers. Why? Because we could. Also, we thought it’d be a good way to show off our new reverb system, as well as newly implemented audio occlusion design. Add to that a bunch of new item sounds and UI bleeps and bloops, and your ears are gonna be busy after this update...

Greetings Stationeers!

Down here in New Zealand it’s Level 1, and we’re back in the studio. The devs have been hammering keys, hard at work on another update to the ever-growing Stationeers universe.

You’ll notice instantly that the game looks different, with a big HUD rework. It’ll sound different, too, thanks to a month of deep-end audio design. There’s some new tricks in the tool bag, like the Terrain Manipulator and other content adds, plus polish, hardening, new tutorials, and a seriously exciting new system that sees us start to connect our worlds together.

As a team, we’re zeroing in on having all foundational systems in-game. Which means we’re not too far away from moving into the content push, polish and hardening of Beta. That’s going to be a huge milestone for us, and as always, we’re looking for you to feedback on these developments, help us test them, and join us on the journey.

Strap in for the Level 1 update!






Our resident UI guru has spent the last month reworking the look and feel of the HUD. The goal was greater transparency of information, and clarity of feedback

A lot of thought went into grouping and ‘conceptual’ arrangement, as well as under the hood, and making everything just look nicer. Watch out for refreshed images, new icons, a new smart hotkey hand system, alerts and all the fine-grain polish that comes with attention from a talented UI designer.

We’re stoked to be at the stage where we can be making this kind of improvement, and really hope you enjoy. We’ll also be watching carefully how it affects the experience of new players.






It wouldn’t be a Stationeers update without a bunch of new toys to play with.

One of the big ticket items is the Terrain Manipulator. During development, we called it the ‘voxelizer’, because that’s … what it does: add voxels to terrain. However, that description doesn’t catch how FUN this thing is to use. Okay, you probably won’t actually be sculpting Michaelangelo’s ‘David’, but hey, we’re putting the challenge out there.

We’ve also dropped in insulated pipe networks, a new high tier tablet that takes two chips, and a ‘reverse electrolysis’ machine called the Combustor, for turning fuel into water on more environmentally challenging planets.

These all slot into our growing tech tree, which you’ll see being fleshed out more and more in the coming months.







As we’ve mentioned previously, a Rocketwerkz reshuffle means we’ve now got an audio designer working on Stationeers. And this month it SHOWS.

We’ve made sure that UI upgrades are supported by equally attentive audio work - so when you’re rifling through your inventory, you hear it. Another thing you’ll hear now is wind and gas movement. Then our audio designer got excited and built an over-pressure sound system, so when your frame and pipes are getting critical, you KNOW about it.

Add to this a bunch of content adds and bug fixes, and you’ve got a solid sonic upshift in Stationeers.




We’ve poured some talent and time into polishing several systems this month. Movement got some serious love (and more to come, we promise), as well as hardening the import systems on automation devices, two new Advanced Tutorials, and a looot more besides.

So while Stationeers is an early access game, and we’re a small team, we’ve got our sights set on ‘Stable’. And as 2020 progresses, we’ll be focusing more intensely on this goal. We hugely appreciate the help of the community here, in bug reports, ideas and discussions - so thank you once again to everyone who lives, loves and lurks in our Discord.






Calling it ‘The Level 1 Update’ ain’t just a Covid joke – it’s an indication of where we’re going: as a game, as a team, as a community. We’re levelling up, piece by piece, and our latest work-in-progress is the clearest hint yet of where we’re headed.

We’re giving players a way to connect worlds: beginning to unite the Stationeers universe into a fully integrated experience.

The Rocket’s locked to Creative mode currently, because - like uncle Elon says - building rockets is risky. And this is new territory for us, so expect the odd glitch. But know that we’re building the framework that will bring the worlds of Stationeers together, so we can craft even deeper experiences - the kinds that make this game unique - and arrive at 1.0 in style.

• Added Advanced Tablet. This features two Cartridge slots, with a mode switch to alternate between them.
  
• Added a Compass to the Status Info panel.
  
• Added a compass to the new player HUD layout.
  
• Added Creaking sounds on pipes when nearing pressure limit.

• Moved the Saving notification to the top of the HUD
  
• Changed the lander to have more friction, to reduce instances of it sliding around.
  
• Changed Status Info panels on the HUD. We've moved the position to feel less in the way, moved some functions like some hotkeys and vitals information like hunger from the Status Icons to here. Better readability has been the focus to help reduce confusion for new players while retaining familiarity for our current players. This is a first pass with further changes in mind.

• Changed Vulcan atmospheric composition to be significantly more dense (only affects new worlds, unless you copy data for Vulcan2 from worldsettings.xml to your save game.
  
• Changed the strength of the heat distortion effect to reduce motion sickness on Vulcan.

However, that description doesn’t catch how FUN this thing is to use. Okay, you probably won’t actually be sculpting Michaelangelo’s ‘David’, but hey, we’re putting the challenge out there.

We’ve also dropped in insulated pipe networks, a new high tier tablet that takes two chips, and a ‘reverse electrolysis’ machine called the Combustor, for turning fuel into water on more environmentally challenging planets.

These all slot into our growing tech tree, which you’ll see being fleshed out more and more in the coming months.







As we’ve mentioned previously, a Rocketwerkz reshuffle means we’ve now got an audio designer working on Stationeers. And this month it SHOWS.

We’ve made sure that UI upgrades are supported by equally attentive audio work - so when you’re rifling through your inventory, you hear it. Another thing you’ll hear now is wind and gas movement. Then our audio designer got excited and built an over-pressure sound system, so when your frame and pipes are getting critical, you KNOW about it.

Add to this a bunch of content adds and bug fixes, and you’ve got a solid sonic upshift in Stationeers.




We’ve poured some talent and time into polishing several systems this month. Movement got some serious love (and more to come, we promise), as well as hardening the import systems on automation devices, two new Advanced Tutorials, and a looot more besides.

So while Stationeers is an early access game, and we’re a small team, we’ve got our sights set on ‘Stable’. And as 2020 progresses, we’ll be focusing more intensely on this goal. We hugely appreciate the help of the community here, in bug reports, ideas and discussions - so thank you once again to everyone who lives, loves and lurks in our Discord.






Calling it ‘The Level 1 Update’ ain’t just a Covid joke – it’s an indication of where we’re going: as a game, as a team, as a community. We’re levelling up, piece by piece, and our latest work-in-progress is the clearest hint yet of where we’re headed.

We’re giving players a way to connect worlds: beginning to unite the Stationeers universe into a fully integrated experience.

The Rocket’s locked to Creative mode currently, because - like uncle Elon says - building rockets is risky. And this is new territory for us, so expect the odd glitch. But know that we’re building the framework that will bring the worlds of Stationeers together, so we can craft even deeper experiences - the kinds that make this game unique - and arrive at 1.0 in style.

Greetings Stationeers!

These are strange and interesting times indeed, tucked away in our home bases, seeing the world through a screen. But for some, that’s been extremely productive - including our devs, who have delivered one of the biggest updates we’ve ever dropped!

There’s been extraordinary amounts of work going on, with a slightly expanded team rising to the challenges of quarantine, churning out new features, upgrades, tweaks, quality-of-life improvements, noises, UI polish and much more. We’re totally excited to see our awesome community get to play with it.

It won’t be every month that we can produce something like this, but it’s a great upshot during a grim time. So play! Enjoy! Test! Feed back to us! As always the team is always keeping a close eye on the Stationeers Discord so come let us know what you think!




The Research system is one of the major additions to Stationeers in recent times. Integrating a tech tree into the game is part of our larger goal of bringing in a real sense of progress and direction to the game.

While we're not quite ready to enforce the research tree on all new worlds, we're making this available to custom worlds via the new 'Research Pool Selection' option. Your existing worlds will be unaffected. Assuming you DO try it out, get in there, creating Research Capsules on the Electronics Printer, then feed them into the Research machine and start climbing up the tech ladder. The structure of the tree will evolve as we develop it, so we’re especially interested in your feedback and thoughts on this one.




One piece of feedback we've had repeatedly is that mining for resources loses its appeal fairly early in the game, so we've been looking at ways to make this more interesting. The first was the AIMEe mining robot that some of you may have tried out, but as it requires quite a bit of IC logic to get the most out of it tends to be a fairly late-game piece of tech. As a compromise more suited to the early-mid game, we've added the Autominer. Designed to fetch bountiful minerals from the strata below the surface all by itself, the Autominer will dig down to near-bedrock depths to retrieve whatever resources are there. For those playing with Research enabled, It’s a Tier 1 addition to the Tech tree. As the area is quite small for the first tier, we suggest you place it on an ore vein you've identified on the surface and let it work its magic!




By popular demand, at long, long last, we’ve de-lapped the maximators, and re-norgated most of the subfuscations - so you can now build DIRECTLY on walls. No more workarounds, just complete, undiluted freedom... Mostly. Some construction restrictions are still in place, but if you ask in Discord we're happy to take your feedback and discuss our reasoning behind the decision for that particular structure.




There’s been a raft of audio and UI improvements large and small. You’ll start noticing a lot of audio improvements in building, active machines and many other corners of the game. We’ve got other surprises coming, too, but for now, keep your ears out for new beeps and buzzes. On the UI side, we’ve been laying groundwork for bigger changes to come, but you’ll already see slicked up tooltips, and a bunch of polish round the edges, as we zero-in on some of those small user experience quirks that can be frustrating when learning or even just playing the game.



Based on feedback we've re-worked the manufacturing machines to make them more easily distinguishable from one another. They now start out colored differently by default, however can be painted for the aspiring interior designers out there, as well as other small details that'll help prevent you wondering why you can't print pipes in your security printer!



In addition to all the new features described above, we've also got some other interesting new toys that'll be making an appearance on the beta branch in the near future such as Voxel Painting (restoring mined dirt, essentially), some fleshed-out content for research, yet another planet and even the ability to travel from your starting planet to other destinations and back so stay tuned to the beta branch, or at least the #beta-changelog channel on Discord!

Greetings Stationeers! Despite the turmoil in the real world, we’ve got a few new treats for you this month. New Zealand is under lockdown, and the office is closed, but we've all migrated to working from home, so expect regular progress on the game! And now that Jenkins has completed a brief road-trip and a few days off, the beta-branch updates every weekday are back to normal.

Through our regular updates you’ll see more and more new content coming in to enrich the experience of constructing your base, crafting equipment and automating it in cool new ways. We call this the ‘what’ of Stationeers, but behind the scenes, there’s a power of work happening to grow the ‘why’ - the reasons you’re making this incredible stuff, and where it’s all going long term. We’ll be keeping the community posted as we go, but for now, just know we’re pushing forwards.


Our Automated Independent Mechanical Entity...e or AIMEe has proven useful enough to people in creative mode that we've finally added a recipe, so it'll be available in Survival games! You'll find it on the Tier 2 Electronics Printer. For those who haven't yet dabbled in the AIMEchanical arts, you're able to program AIMEe's behaviour using the Integrated Circuit chips. So if you've been procrastinating on learning how to use IC code then now is a great time! They can be configured to roam and find mineral deposits, mine and deposit them into a chute input back at your base (for example).


Work has continued on the new player experience, and we're now up to 7 tutorials, with more to come! They now cover everything from building your first structure, to basic atmospherics and building your first airlock. We're very keen to hear your feedback on these as we continue to work on supporting new players getting into the game. So please drop by the Stationeers Discord and let us know what you think!


Sometimes it's nice to take a break from adding more complex, technical content and do something easy or interesting, so this month we've got a couple of new cosmetic items for your bases: desk lamps and picture frames that can come pre-loaded with some images, but can also display your own. See the full patch change log for instructions.


We're a multi-project studio, which means that some more specialized resources aren’t always permanent parts of the team. As luck would have it, now it's our turn again! Expect to see a lot of work in both of these areas in the immediate future. We've created an #audio-discussion channel in Discord where we'll be asking some questions about sound in Stationeers and are keen to hear your feedback!
