A new update is now available. Because of the delay of the previous one, it comes earlier.

New enemies

Two new enemies have been added. One of them is flying and can attack on a medium distance, the other one can use a laser as a long-range attack.

Improvements & fixes

Combat is a bit more challenging. Indeed some improvements have been added to the AI behavior. For instance, they now behave as a group, and if one of them is attacking, the others will help him. It is increasing the difficulty, but in the same time it is now easier to dodge the enemies. Along with the fixes, the loading time when the station is docking to a new island has been improved a lot. It may have fixed the deadlock issue that some of you have sometimes, please don't hesitate to warn us in the steam discussions page if the problem is still not resolved. New features

Humanity is threatened. A deadly virus awoke, and it is spreading quickly.
The particular flora of Arcania, a planet used to prepare humans for space colonization, may help in the creation of a cure. But it is now abandoned since working mechas turned against humans.
A group of researchers is sent to this planet to find a solution. You are one of them.
But as you arrived, your spaceship crashed…

Hack and command mechas

Mechas are wild and are used to living in the storm. You must fight some of them for your survival, but they are often stronger than you are.
Your best chance of survival is to hack some of those mechas and use them as allies to defeat the others.

Evolve

The more combats you win, the more fragments you earn. They can be used to evolve your mechas' strength and skills. But you can also find some during exploration.
Your character can also improve its capabilities.

The Tempest

The weather is an important threat. You must face lightning strikes, tornadoes, and other elements in order to make your way through the storm.
You will be able to activate old installations used to ionize the air and stop the tempest within an area. And thankfully an old station above the clouds, left over by humans, provides good shelter.

The Spaceship

You have access to your spaceship early in the game, but you do not have enough fuel to leave the planet.
It is impossible to land within the tempest, but once you have unlocked some weather controllers, you will be able to travel quickly over the map and save a lot of time.

Collect, build and craft

Find several resources along the journey and use them to craft useful items.
You can also decide to create a greenhouse directly inside your station if you want to grow and farm plants by yourself.
