Sneak peek: Alien ruins overhaul



Hello everyone!

Now that we’ve introduced the character overhaul and the talent system that are coming in the next update, it’s time to take a closer look at what the update is all about: alien ruins, the last remnants of a mysterious civilization that used to dwell on Europa before humanity arrived.

The appearance of the alien ruins has been unchanged for as long as Barotrauma has been in Early Access, and one of the highlights of this update will be a complete visual overhaul that brings the ruins up to par with the rest of the game. We're also improving ruin generation for larger and better layouts, and there are a number of other exciting things coming too:

  • Remade Fractal Guardian with new appearance and behavior.
  • New creature: the Swarm Feeder.
  • New items: the Gravity Sphere and the Ruin Vent, both with new effects.
  • New missions: Scan ruin and Clear ruin.
  • Bot improvements: “Return to submarine” order and AI waypoints inside ruins.
