Hello Galactic Survivalists!

After four experimental versions we are releasing the public version 1.8 of Empyrion Galactic Survival today!

The main themes of version 1.8 are the following:

• A new game start on the moons of Akua, Ningues, Masperon and Skillon.
• A new and improved Robinson Protocol tutorial & a first iteration of a quest system.
• Improved AI behavior, including all-new creatures on land, in water and in the air!
• First batch of visually overhauled playfields, including all-new models for above-ground rock resources & new deco.
• Lots of new toys for content creators, e.g. with new PDA and Dialogue functionalities.

There is of course a lot more! For full details on all of the additions, updates, and fixes, check out the changelog below!

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

With big steps we are moving towards the final release version of the update 1.8!
It should be ready next week - if everything works out as planned .

In Experimental Version 4 we have made the last content updates. So now the 'Default Multiplayer' is complete with all new content and additions.

The same is basically true for the singleplayer. However, this does not exclude the tutorial - depending on your feedback! - will get one or the other text-info addition or further microtorials(e.g. for SV building). Also the starting moons in the singleplayer will surely get one or the other change to make especially the more difficult starting planets more interesting!

Please continue to use our feedback forums intensively! Every suggestion and criticism will help to determine the direction in which the game start worlds might develop!

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to a new phase in Experimental Version 1.8! First of all, once again our heartfelt thanks to you for all the feedback and bug reports. Thanks to your efforts we are slowly approaching the end of the testing phase for version 1.8!

If all goes well, we plan to release the final version in mid-June

The current version includes - besides a lot of bugfixes - numerous changes and adjustments for the start tutorial and the game start environment on the four starter moons. As always, you can read the details in the changelog below.

A note: To test the changed starting fields and tutorial content, it is necessary to start a new game with the current Experimental III version.

As always: Please post your feedback on the individual focus topics in the designated forum threads so that we don't miss any of your feedback.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to Experimental phase 2!

If you have already participated in the test version, you will see a lot of changes in the list below, which we were able to implement thanks to your feedback.

New additions are the first four NPCs and creatures that populate two entirely new game spaces for the first time: air and water! We are excited to see how you like them!

The new game start including the tutorial has also made great progress! For example, the tutorial-related info messages are now only displayed if you actually choose to play the tutorial at the beginning of the game. Messages about story and quests are of course not affected by this. Also, there is now an archive or log in the PDA for both tutorial and quests, where you can look up your progress, todos and next steps, or read past messages!

Our work on the other planets is also progressing steadily. In the current update are more revised versions included!

Due to the numerous changes to the starting planets and the mission structure, you should definitely start a new savegame, so that you can test all the changes, from tutorial to NPC to the quests!

We hope for numerous feedback on how you like the changes!

Disclaimer:
Version 1.8 will not be a savegame break BUT as always we recommend starting a new game in the Experimental Version. Although we try to avoid this, starting a new game may be necessary again in the next phases of the Experimental Version.

Because we added the new decoration to more planets, all our Official Servers will be wiped on the Public Release.

Important note for modders: You have to update Unity to v2021.3.2f1

Changes:

New default scenario start:


We don't want to spoil too much here, so let's just say that the new game start has been completely reworked and may be very different from the previous game experience in the default scenario. Especially for players who have been in the game for a while, there might be some new strategies that can be pursued on the way up into space. Without giving too much away, it can be said that the starting playfield will not be limited to just one celestial body and that exploration will play a more...

Everyone who wants to jump into new game material early on - save the date! #Empyrion v1.8 EXPERIMENTAL will be released tomorrow!
