Update 31 - Less Grind & More Fixes
Hey Everyone,
The team continues with non-stop work, and we are very grateful to see more positive feedback and reviews in the past week. Also it`s great to see Stars End attracting more players, and that players are playing in the game for longer. Thanks for all the support!
We have another update today that does a great deal for removing grinding from resources collection. Right now most of the resources collection activities are nearly twice as fast - from asteroid mining, to mining with pick axe or sawing logs. More improvements are on the way.
Today`s update also fixes good number of remaining bugs after changing to new MMO servers. We have resolved issues with vehicle duping, trees, item duping and more. In addition Oraphant is back in game with improved AI. We also included new options for AA and Vsync.
We`ll continue with another update no Tuesday with a good number of fixes and additions, as well as more work on making Stars End resources collecting be a lot less grindy.
And so - lets take a look at Update 31:
New features and fixes
