We've read your feedback and realized that it can be daunting for solo players (especially) to face tanks and massive drones without a specialized weapon to counter them. The hand mortar can help but isn't ideal due to its large bullet drop which requires you to get close to the enemies. Same goes for regular grenades. And you can't take the aa turrets with you. So, over the weekend we've prepared a new weapon to level off the playing field more. Enter the...

Rocket Launcher

A brand new weapon that you can NOW craft in your drillship. With its low bullet drop and high damage, it's perfect for destroying tanks especially from longer distance.

When using it against the large drones you no longer have to account for the bullet drop like with the handmortar and it has higher damage.

While the rocket launcher is great, don't ditch the handmortar and regular grenades for it because it has some weaknesses too, such as slow reload + character speed. So combining them together is where the rocket launcher truly shines. For example, you can disable tank's tracks from a safe distance with rocket launcher and then get closer from an angle where the turret can't see you to finish it off with grenades. Using the rocket launcher to pick off tank/drone spawning modules on an enemy drillship from a distance before raiding it is also very effective.

Set in the steampunk era, you take on an expedition to a forsaken island that you once called home. But sudden eruptions triggered by mechanical beings turned the wondrous place into an apocalyptic wasteland. In order to survive the island’s natural elements, you have to outsmart these creatures and capture one of their drillships. Use their own technology against them as you upgrade the machinery and reclaim your homeland.

Take the vantage point, stay safe underground or choose a material-rich location and explore. The drillship is one of a kind base capable of joining you on every journey.

DEADLY ENVIRONMENT

Experience the tension and thrill of surviving volcanic eruptions. Time between each eruption is your most valuable resource. Use it to roam the island gathering materials, finding new technology and utilizing production.

MECHANICAL MENACE

Deal with a hostile race of robots that use the volcano as a source of energy. Their units are scattered all around the island’s surface as well as below it.
