Fixes New Feature



We released a new update fixing a lot of critical bugs that snuck their way into the game in the Gear Up Update such as "enemy drillships kidnapping player" and so on.

With the fixes, we also added a new feature! If you couldn't tell from the thumbnail, from now on you can destroy just the drill of an enemy drillship to take its ability to go underground.

But remember that COGs can do the same to your drillship as well. The drill can be repaired with the repair tool just like any other module or device.

Fixes
Player no longer gets kidnapped by COG drillships
COG Research drillships have turret ammo and turrets shoot at the player
The ghost stone in Area 1
Drillships bring new COGs with bigger delay
Several typos and errors in texts
Bug where stolen drillships from COGs can't reach the Volcano cave

Developer Update 14



Volcanoids is setting a course towards a new update. This time we would like to try something new and release Developer Updates when we have something to tell or show you not just because the calendar said so. When we were working on the "Gear up Update", there were a few Developer Updates that basically said “we are testing” and that's something we'd like to change.

There's a clue for the next update's big feature hidden in the title and picture. Can you guess what is?

Let us know what you think about the changes and what the big feature is going to be in the comments below!

Gear Up Update



https://youtu.be/npaotIhlhao

It’s time to gear up and take out everything standing in your quest of reclaiming your lost home! The armory has been upgraded with a lot of new gear on both sides. The submarine crew has granted access to new weapons, while COGs got many new technology items. You will discover all of it on your path of freeing the island from the evil mechanical race.

Before starting the journey, decide how difficult your path will be. If this is your first quest for silencing the volcano, choose easy or normal. Both contain guidance from the Captain, informing you in the beginning and then always being there if needed. For all the Drillship veterans, the challenge of hard difficulty lays ahead of you. If accepted, prepare for tough fights for resources and territory control. No longer is the first drillship served to you. Instead, attack directly from submarine and hunt down a drillship of your choice.

Drillships systems became more demanding on precise engineering, and one sample of COG technology is not enough anymore. Instead, you need to hunt, steel or scavenge technology anywhere you can. Without that, it’s not possible to upgrade the ship and advance to further areas. Take abandoned tech in villages or directly attack COG surface missions to raid their drillships or hunt down the crew.

Those are all the latest news from the Adranos island. Now report to the Captain for debriefing and good luck on your journey!
