Greetings!
With the bugfix patch/mini-update out, its time to turn our eye to the future again. The next update will roll out in a few weeks, hopefully, and well write a more detailed preview about it soon. Before that, we wanted to write a little bit about the background of some major upcoming content additions: shipwrecks, ballast flora, and the thalamus.
The wrecks new explorable dungeons and the thalamus a completely new reincarnation of a creature called carrier, which some may remember from the legacy versions of Barotrauma are going to be added in the next update. Ballast flora is going to be a longer time in the making, but this organism has an important role in the same story, so we wrote about it at the same time.
You can read the whole story on our blog. Hope you like it!
