In case you haven't figured it out from the teasers and terrible puns by now... The next update (coming in June) is bringing TESLA TURRETS! The bigger Tier 2 will be able to shoot an electric beam at multiple COGs at once!
While the smaller Tier 1 will shoot these quick zaps that can send COGs to sleep for a few seconds.
But there's something else. Something else that makes these turrets different from all the other ones... Not needing ammo, only energy? Yeah, sure, that too. But most importantly... The ability to DESTROY PROJECTILES! Not all, but the most destructive ones like mortars or grenades. So anything bigger than a bullet is going to have a much harder time reaching your drillship.
Remind you of a certain comic? And that's it. That's all the cool tesla tech you're gonna get. ... Yeah, right ;) More shocking news (or teasers) soon! - Rich

Volcanoids Linux [2.22 G]

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.

MOBILE BASE

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.

BASE MANAGEMENT

Customize your drillship from the inside out with colors, symbols, gadgets and more. Automate production, research technologies, set up defenses and turn the drillship into an unbreachable powerhouse.
