UPDATE IS COMING
As the title suggests, the next major update is getting dangerously close to its release. So let's take a look at all the new features this update will bring!
The OG drill is going to have some competition. Each drill upgrade is now going to have its own visual.
Highly requested feature for a long time. You will be able to change the color of the entire drillship as well as just individual parts (wings, roof, one module, etc.). What colors are going to be available you ask? All of them.
Along with colors we also added decals that you can place pretty much anywhere. The decal library offers everything from simple shapes to a freaking steampunk octopus.
Since it's the first-ever melee weapon that we are going to add, we wanted to start with a bang! So let me introduce you The Saw Gauntlet:
This one's reeeeally fun! Just build it anywhere in your drillship and take manual control of any of your turrets.
The eruptions are now going to cause a longer-lasting fog that will last for quite some time reducing your vision significantly.
did you notice the COG?
3 new devices will be making it in this update that you can build in the interior as well as on the exterior of the ship. The dispenser spews out 3 items of your choice from the ship's inventory so you can just quickly grab them.
The medic and armor station will replenish your health/armor after using it.
This one's been long overdue.
This update is now available for testing on the Preview Branch if you want to hop in early! Just keep in mind that some stuff might not be 100% yet. Full patch notes are available in the preview branch section in our Discord as always. If you already know what the Preview Branch is then you can skip the faq section below. If you don't know but you're interested, keep reading.
Q: What's the Preview Branch? A: The "Preview Branch" is where we will post upcoming updates (like this one) before they get officially released on the "Main Branch" so you can help us test the new features if you want to. Q: Where can I find patch notes for the Preview Branch? A: They are available in the preview branch category in our Discord server.
Q: How do I switch to Preview Branch? A: It's really simple actually, here's how:
If things don't go horribly wrong, you guys can expect the official release of this update in the second half of this month. Will make another announcement as soon as I'll have an exact date.
