Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Autumn is here and the forests are becoming a little more colorful again. "Colorful" is also one of the keywords for the current update 1.8.10!

While the programming team has focused on bug fixing, Art & Design have set out to make Empyrion even more colorful in some details - or rather to give YOU the possibilities to do so. For example, you can now use theColor & Texture tool to paint the thruster flares independently of the actual thruster block. The same applies to deco consoles with hologram elements!

By the way, you can now also copy colors and textures with the tool. And if you have a block in your hand you can copy complete blocks in CREATIVE mode.

For the current version, the content team has looked into the feedback of the game start tutorial and made first adjustments. Among other things, the 'Info Count' in the Escape Pod area has been reduced. Also, there is now a mini-tutorial at game start, in case you activate the Robinson protocol. To further reduce the popup count, information that was previously given in some pop ups has been moved directly to the hover info cards of the respective devices and items.

[​IMG]

All changes can be found in the changelog below.

In general, as always:
1. please submit bugs and errors here:
https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/

2. please post feedback on specific topics (e.g. tutorial, coloring etc) here in the pinned threads:
https://empyriononline.com/forums/faq-feedback.25/

Have fun with 1.8.10!
We are looking forward to your feedback!

Empyrion Dev Team

PS: Please note: Since we have changed numerous text passages in the game (items as well as text hints), not all entries have been translated back to all languages yet. Newly added entries have been provided with an automatic pre-translation (DE,FR,IT,ES,RU) which might still be in need of revision in parts. On this topic, respectively the general handling of the translations, we will announce something in the next...

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

With update 1.8.5 we have not only fixed numerous bugs and added new features (see changelog below!).

With 'Stranded at Nemesis' we have also added a new scenario for you to play and have fun with. This is specifically a small survival challenge that we would like to offer you as a change: You start on a destroyed UCH ship and have the task to rejoin the fleet. How you do that is up to you, because there are several possible ways. ;) We are curious to see how you master the challenge! Please use the following feedback thread: https://empyriononline.com/threads/scenario-stranded-at-nemesis-survival-challenge.100395/

We are looking forward to your feedback - on the scenario and on further updates!

2022-08-01 v1.8.5 B3859


Changes:

- Added Scenario: 'Stranded at Nemesis' is a WiP challenge scenario available from the scenarios menu.


- Added Asteria Destroyer (Thanks to jrandall) to new SaN scenario https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1780720140
- DialogueSystem: added new database variable 'dbplayerpoipos_int' that can be used f.e. on traders in a POI and it will preserve its value even after the POI did regenerate
- Done 00276: Added new PdaDataOp "DeactivateCurrentChapter"
- Added more quality settings for Screen Space Reflections and Shadow Quality
- Updated: Fully rebalanced (destroyable) deco rocks. Hitpoints and Crushed Stone drop are now based on their approximate default-size volume & size. (Note that the same model sized larger via playfield_dynamic config will not provide higher HP and will not drop more crushed stones); Please report rocks that are not destroyable/seem to have wrong values with screenshot + info about planet and biome name!
- Updated: Updated all new (and some old) deco plants/trees with proper HP values & drops related to HP and appearance of model (Fiber/WoodLogs) (Part 1)
- ExecuteOnActivate code is now also called when accessing blocks using logistics.
- Changed: Quest missions are not deleted after leaving a planet anymore
- Changed: Tales of Tash logs you found, can now be read on the Academy network-consoles in some POI of the moons with the ‘Private User History’ option (when available)
- Changed: technical change to make quests more reliable
- Changed: quests do not mark their location automatically anymore (the quest info has...
