Hello Galactic Survivalists!

This is a small guide that aims to provide steps on how to install blueprints and custom scenarios in Empyrion while using the Epic Store.

Blueprints can be download from our Official Discord (https://discord.gg/empyrion)
We have several channels where players can attach blueprints
If a particular blueprint you want isnt on our discord you can ping the creator on the channel and ask if he can create a post in one of the channels!

Custom Scenarios are too large to be shared on Discord.
You can ask the scenario creator to upload it to https://www.nexusmods.com/empyriongalacticsurvival/ and download it from there!

Where to place them?
Right click in the library in the Epic Store on Empyrion. Select Manage
After the following screen open:

Press the red outlined button. This will open where Empyrion is installed.
../Content/Scenarios/ is where you place custom scenarios
../Saves/Blueprints/<ID>/ is where you place the blueprint files

For the game to read them, the game needs to be rebooted

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

First of all, we want to thank you very much for your feedback that reached us during the Experimental Phase of Update 1.11.8 through our various feedback channels.

As you may have already experienced in the testing phase or at least seen in the blogs, in addition to numerous bug fixes and the completion of the Dark Faction Scenario Story Campaign, the new "Freeze & Board" gameplay for the Dark Faction DLC expansion is another central focus of this update.

In brief: The Dark Faction has gained the ability to disable your capital and small vessels as well as hover vessels. If you are in a disabled capital vessel, a boarding crew will be teleported over to you. If you don't take them out, they can cause some serious damage to the interior of your ship!

How exactly this works is explained in the following video:

You can also find all the details in the corresponding feedback thread here:
https://empyriononline.com/threads/...on-dlc-disruptor-translocator-turrets.102503/

With the current update, you also get the revamped and expanded Dark Faction Story Campaign - fully playable in both solo and co-op modes, including two possible story endings!

In addition to this, the current update includes, among other things, a small hitpoint balancing, a new Pentaxid Tank model, and over 470 new and updated icons in the areas of Building Blocks, Wings, Windows, Railings, Farming, Plants, Ingots, Components, Medical, Food, Cooking, Trading & more.

As always, all the contents of the update can be found in detail below in the comprehensive changelog.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

First of all, we would like to apologize for the fact that some of the contents of the update described earlier this year are still pending. We are working hard on the final adjustments.

However, in order not to delay some necessary bug fixes and technical upgrades any longer, we have packed these and all previously completed content together and put together a small server scenario creativity package for you with version 1.11.7, which is now available.

It includes numerous new game objects for Survival and Creative mode (consoles, tables, large trees and various types of lamps for outdoor and indoor areas) as well as an improvement to the gravity generators, which makes it easier for you to create a walkable gravity ring, for example.

On the big topic of multiplayer, improvements have been made to how 'SharedData', i.e. the content of custom scenarios that are not included in the game installation by default, are handled. In particular, the aim here is to conserve the bandwidth of the servers offering multiplayer and, in the best case scenario, to enable you to obtain the additional content required to enter the game more quickly when you connect to the server for the first time.

Last but not least - and apart from the bug fixes - we have put a lot of work into the Blueprint Collection Tool, some of the playing fields in the Default Scenario and the Guided Tutorial (playable via the main menu)!

You can find all the details in the changelog below.

As always:
- Please post bugs and errors in this forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/
- Please post feedback here in the feedback forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/faq-feedback.25/

We hope you enjoy v1.11.7 and look forward to your feedback!

Yours,

Eleon Game Studios Team.

Note:
For any users who happen to use steamCMD with Empyrion & launch the game from root with EmpyrionLauncher.exe you will need to add a new line to the Empyrion.props file:
- In the Empyrion root directory create a copy of the “Empyrion_Example.props” & rename it to just “Empyrion.props”
- Open it in notepad & add this on a new line & save the file

This is only needed for the client, not for the Dedicated Server!

Changelog v1.11.7 B4480 2024-06-18

Dark Faction DLC:...

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

The way clients download a SharedData folder is changing!
We will be introducing a better way to handle SharedData downloads that doesn't use any dedicated server bandwidth on log in.
If you don't provide the new URL field then the old way is used.

Yours,
Eleon Game Studios team.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!
We have a fix for the custom scenarios menu ready & to also mention we have much more to come very soon.

Changelog v1.11.6 B4471 2024-04-18

Fixes:
- In the New Game Scenario screen any selected custom/workshop scenario can lead to a CoQ on systems without the DLC installed
- Changed difficulty settings on a scenario are lost when returning to scenario selection screen

Hello Galactic Survivalists!
In today's March update, as promised, we have provided a first set of improvements and even new content.

These include, among others:
- The improvement of the sword and body shield includes an increased swing speed, an additional animation, and a glowing effect around the avatar when the shield is active.
- The UI/UX improvements have added new information and markers for the Dark Field strength on the map, as well as a warning message before landing on a planet.
- The new feature for range preview of generators allows a live preview of the effect field before final placement, for both Dark Field Neutralizers and Generators as well as regular gravity generators.
- The new content includes a gravity generator for small ships (SV) with a renewed model and various ranges, available in both game versions (with and without DLC).

Unfortunately, the "Boarding Parties" feature discussed in the recently released blog had to be postponed to the upcoming next update in April. So, your security teams have gained a little more time for training.

Included in today's update, of course, are bug fixes as well as further adjustments and improvements listed below in the complete changelog.

As always: please report bugs in this forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/

We thank you all for your cooperation and patience and look forward to your feedback!
