Previous patches helped our cave problem and the sources of some crashes. Today we have three focuses:
Memory leaks?
In some conditions, Drift would eat all of the memory in your computer. All of it. We've identified the problem and now Drift is leaner than ever! In our extended testing, we rarely see it go over 1GB. Sorry to all of your computers.
Mysterious Signals
Mysterious signals will now persist through saving and loading if you have yet to visit the POI it is trying to lead you to. We will continue to evolve this system to help you discover more interesting things in the field.
Multiplayer Updates
We've solved a couple of multiplayer focused bugs, including tutorials showing up every time a client joins, scan bubbles not showing from clients and other smaller issues.
Thanks for your continue reports and an amazing launch week. We're going to slow down our patch cadence as we work on larger issues around world generation and discoverability and edge cases of life support. Hope to have more for you on those front next week!
You need to rebuild your hyperspace engine to get back home. But you'll need more than a simple replicator and carbon-rich asteroids to do so. Collect asteroids, expand your ship, and build outposts to accomplish your goal.
Explore the field around you
The resources you need are scarce and unlikely to be found nearby. Navigate, map and explore the field to find minerals, crystals and exotic fauna in the field alone or with friends. Set beacons to remind yourself to visit again.
Survive the harshness of space
Managing your suit's systems can be an ardurous task. Make sure to prepare carefully before venturing out into the asteroid field, and bring up to three friends to make the task easier.
Research to fix your ship
You awoke with a basic replicator and a small tank of oxygen. Use the advanced materials you find in the field to research the technology of your people and work toward rebuilding your hyperspace engine. Along the way, unlock automation, quality-of-life upgrades and more.
Storage: 10 GB available spaceAdditional Notes: Internet connection required for multiplayer. The game is in development and minimum requirements may change.
