Hi captains! This update is out, now! You can play it yourself through the playtest option or through the demo. Those are the highlights:

New farming system

It was about time! multi stage growing, water/compost requirements and planting fruits directly are some of the new options.

3 new consoles

Though still in prototype phase, they have all the functionalities of the legacy consoles. Proper layout will come in next updates. All about removing legacy blocks. Did I mention they are fully modable?

6 new crops

Namium, nurins, olis, crensel, artein and tiuras. You will learn to rely on them for subsistence since the traders won't sell you anything edible anymore, jerks. Did you know you can plant things other than seeds and crops? Find out what :).

New shield system and blocks

Remember when you used to press one button to completely recharge the shields? Now they recharge very slowly and only when deactivated but can be stacked to increase the shield capacity. Because one is too few and 3 are to many.... for a normal ship, 9 tiers should be enough to make your ship a moving bullet black hole. They also look nice.

17 new food items

Each with it's own reference, can you name them all? You thought I would make a farming update without adding a use for the plants? Guess again.

New models for 32 current blocks

In line with the aesthetics of Adro.

Target tracking

For those that can't git gud. If you think the new shields are op wait until you see this. Need the mainframe to access this overpowered ship ability. All projectiles are way faster now so at close range all hits are guaranteed.

Feedback & news panels

For when you can't be bothered to join Discord, share with me your precious feedback and receive them precious news, directly from the game.

Configurable brightness & light quality

All about supporting computers with lower specs, hey, not all simulated realities can afford to have more than one quality light source. For when your audience only sees black in your twitch streams, pump the brightness up to blinding to silence them.

Hull breach fixing

No longer have to scrap that nanoscopic collider in the frame block, the new hull breaches require patch plates to fix and have a proper full area collider.

Lots of fixes and tweaks

Removing unneeded steps/items/recipes, you know... making the gameplay less grindy. Made missions actually worth doing, added more navigation info, more recycling to prevent excess items and many other QoL modifications.

Proper audio modding

Thanks to naudio (library) you can bring your own melodic creations into Adro. Variable bit rate, multi/single channel, yes we support them all.

Auto port forwarding

Can't be bothered to connect to your router to do a port forward?, do these words sound like Chinese? I got you covered. By default Adro will let others connect to you over internet even if your network does not allow it, as long as your router knows the UPNP protocol.

Dedicated server mode

Automation at its finest, script a server to start/stop from a shell/command prompt on a remote machine without human intervention. There are also special commands like ban, unban, kick, restart and all the usual management set.

Lots of new modding options

Block light modding, farming modding, liquids/grids fill level modding and blocks particle effects modding, let your creative aberrations become alive in Adrorium. Signing out, Beholder
