Empyrion – Galactic Survival - Community Forums

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

With today's update 1.7.5 we are fixing more problems that were found and repaired thanks to you in the past experimental phase.

Also some changes and additions that didn't fit in 1.7.3 are included this time.

Among other things, the Empyriopedia has been updated with all the important information about each status effect, medical equipment and items! All information can now be found again in the groups Afflictions, Benefits and Medical Items / Devices. In addition, minor adjustments have been made here. For more details, see the list below.

We are also trying out a new feature for you by adding a 'REPORT' button to the top right of the player inventory (TAB). This will allow you to access the forum from within the game. Let us know how you like such a shortcut or what you would like to see there instead.

Many more changes and adjustments can be found in the full list below.

Important: Please note that all our Official Server will be wiped with this release.

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

Another update so soon after 1.7.3? Yes, because there are again some problems that we were able to fix thanks to your help and that shouldn't be put on hold until the next big update 1.8.

There are also some improvements and adjustments that did not make it into version 1.7.3.

Today we start with the corresponding EXPERIMENTAL version. The final update will probably be released in 2 weeks. Depending on how the Experimental version goes, of course.

What's in it?

Among other things, the Empyriopedia has been updated with all the important information about each status effect, medical equipment and items! All information can now be found again in the groups Afflictions, Benefits and Medical Items / Devices. In addition, minor adjustments have been made here. For more details, see the list below.

From now on, it is also possible to call up a browser tab in the game. The CustomPlayerTab can be configured with a link and tab name. You will find the new button called "REPORT" in the top right corner of the player inventory!

Many more changes and adjustments can be found in the full list below.

Important: Please note that all our Official Servers will be wiped with the next Public branch release.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

At the end of last year, we conducted our first update-specific feedback survey. The results are now available and we would like to share them with you.

First of all the basic data.

Goal of the survey: Evaluate the features that have been changed, improved or added in version 1.7.
Duration: 23.12.2021 until 02.01.2022
Participants: 1326

So many participants in just over a week is of course great. Many thanks to all who took the time!

But how did you rate the update 1.7?

First of all: You rated the game as a whole with 3.84 (out of a possible 5 points) as of the update 1.7.
The overall rating of the update 1.7 features is 3.96 out of a possible 5 points.

We also asked you about your Empyrion playtime (in hours) in the survey, so let's split the ratings directly into graphs according to these groups!

The game as a whole…



..and the update 1.7 in particular:



Finally, another interesting breakdown: In the survey, we asked you which of the main topics in the update you would like to see pursued further.

In the following evaluation, which is also divided according to playtime groups, you can see which focal points each playtime group considers to be 'the most important'. You can also see where the groups differ in their wishes and priorities. This may often be one of the reasons for lively discussions.



Again, thanks a lot to everyone participating. Hope to have your active help again in the next survey!

Have a good start into the new year!

Your Empyrion Dev Team

Dear players,
Dear Community!

Christmas is just around the corner and even though there are still some hopefully quiet days ahead for everyone until the new year, we would like to take the opportunity to bring the past year 2021 to a close.

It was a successful year for us, and hopefully also for you. Starting with Update 1.4 in February, we have, as always with the help of your feedback, finally worked our way through four major updates with partly very different content. Even if each of you has a slightly different idea of what you enjoy in Empyrion Galactic Survival, in retrospect we hope that one or the other addition has met your taste For the recent update 1.7 we started a feedback survey for the first time again: http://survey.empyriongame.com/index.php/114164.

A lot has happened outside the game as well. New team members as well as the cooperation with Brave Zebra have helped us in the past months to cope with all the necessary work and to contribute to what is still ahead of us.

An important point for us in 2021 was to make the game and the universe of Empyrion Galactic Survival fit for the future. Not only for 2022, but for many years beyond. In order to get the most out of the Unity Engine, we have therefore focused on development processes and the adaptation of underlying techniques over the past year. You could see some of the results throughout the year, e.g. the improved lighting systems and, most recently, the water effects and the first approach of the new decoration system. Further changes, both internally and on the game side, will follow in the coming months.

In the next year and years to come, we will build on these preparations to continuously expand the scope and content of the game together with you, the best community a development team can have.

In this spirit, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a successful start into the New Year!

Your Empyrion development team

We want to know from you how you liked the features, changes and additions in the latest patch!
