BLOW THAT PIECE OF JUNK OUT OF THE SKY
[h3]With the upcoming ANTI-AIR TURRETS[/h3]
Using any of the 6 variants, those drones will think twice before attacking your ship!
And if you're a hands-on type of guy/gal, you will be able to connect them to the gunner seat and blow them out of the sky yourself!

They Are Coming
Hey everyone!
The next major update is getting close so let's shine some light on what's been hiding behind some of the recent teasers!
As far as the release goes, the current plan is to release the update around the end of this month (September).
I know the wait has been long but as you'll soon see, I really think it will be worth it. So thank you so much for being patient with us!
[h2]Get ready for[/h2]
[h3]Tanks[/h3]
The biggest feature will be without a doubt the TANKS!
(as many of you successfully figured out)
For now, I will share that there will be different types for different purposes and that you will be able to destroy or disable them in A LOT of ways. We didn't want them to be just bullet sponges.
You can see concepts for the military and refinery tank below. Keep in mind these were just concepts and will look much different (less modern, more steampunk) when the update releases.
(you might recognize this one from a certain blueprint)
[h3]Attacks from above[/h3]
Another thing that will spice up the combat dynamic will be the new DRONES!
The smaller types will be guarding the lower airspace of the island.
While the much larger drones will hunt you down from above the trees.
And since you guys seemed to like the April Fools' airship so much, we tried to figure out how to add one in a way that would make sense for the scope of this update. So this other large drone below is our attempt at it. It's not the big-scale (even though it is pretty big) airship you were probably hoping for but it was the best we could do with the given time and resources.
[h3]New Guns[/h3]
This update will also bring you 3 new craftable weapons inspired by real-life models:
A lot of people asked if these will be replacing the old guns and the answer is NO. They will be added alongside the current weapons. But we do plan to rebalance the old ones.
And as far as their new names go, we are still selecting the winners, so stay tuned.
See them all in action below!

- Lee Enfield (bolt action rifle)
A lot of people asked if these will be replacing the old guns and the answer is NO. They will be added alongside the current weapons. But we do plan to rebalance the old ones.

Something's in the air
We Need Your Help
If you haven't heard yet, we will be adding 3 new guns (amongst other things) in the upcoming major update:
- The Lewis Gun
- The Lee Enfield
- The C96 Mauser
But we don't want to just use their real names, what's the fun in that? And if you've been following the development for some time, you know we have a history of giving things terrible names.
So that's why we need your help! Enter the...
[h2]Gun Naming Contest[/h2]
Comment below this post what names YOU would give to these guns and the team and I will:
- Select one name for each gun that we liked the most from the comments
- We put the names on the guns in the upcoming update
- We give you credit in the update patch notes (if we pick your name)
- And once the update releases, you (might) find yourself shooting a gun that you named yourself!
Now you don't have to suggest names for all 3 guns. If you came up with a killer name just for the Lewis but got nothing for the other two, post just the one! Just make sure it's clear what gun you're suggesting a name for like: "Lee Enfield - Steamfield"
Once the update releases, the names will appear whenever you point at the guns in your inventory, crafting table, etc.
The contest will end on Sunday, August 14th.
Excited to see what you guys come up with!
- Rich
EDIT: Whoa! Didn't expect so many people to share their ideas. Thank you all! It's gonna be hard as hell picking just three haha
