Hi Galactic Survivalists!
While we are still putting the finishing touches to the current version 1.7.x, it is time to give you a short overview of the topics that are planned or expected to be worked on this year.
Version 1.8 & 1.8.5
For the big summer update 1.8 there are several major topics on the agenda!
First and foremost, we will be adding completely new models for NPCs and creatures that will soon be roaming the worlds of Empyrion. At the same time, we also plan to revamp some of the NPCs and creatures currently in use, replacing them with new and revised models that fit in with the general visual overhaul of the planets.
Apart from that, we will technically fully integrate the new decoration system that we have shown as an example in the last versions. In 1.8 we will revise the planets and partly completely redesign them so that they can unfold their potential in the light of the new possibilities. This includes new, but also revised models for decoration, rocks, harvestables and resources (e.g. Rock resources on the surface).
Another focus will be improvements to the UI, to various help and display systems and a partly completely new game start.
In conjunction with that, 1.8 will continue to be worked on in numerous other areas. In addition to bug fixes, work on the code base is planned to make the game fit for the next updates and game content. Some Quality of Life and Convenience will also be in focus.
We will publish more information about this in the next few weeks on the way to the experimental release!
For version 1.8.5, the focus will then be on new playable content, missions and activities that will build on the innovations of 1.8. Fixing bugs is, of course, always part of the plan.
Version 1.8: approx. end of June/beginning of July
Version 1.8.5: approx. middle/end of October
Version 1.9
The year-end update will be all about the player avatar, its appearance, its movement possibilities and related functions and features! The update will not only change some settings, but will be a complete rework!
This means a considerable intervention in the code base (which is currently already being prepared) and will challenge all departments in the team due to the deep integration of the functions of the player controller in features and gameplay. However, we are sure that the effort is worth it and that we will be able to...

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.
As always please note:

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!
