Greetings scientists…
The 1.0 build is now available in our beta branch!!
As always, please remember that content on this branch is still experimental UNTIL it reaches our main build. We are actively working on the game, so some features/assets, texts, audio files, etc, might be missing or still in placeholder form.
HOW TO JOIN BETA
If you want to know how to switch to our beta branch, follow this guide.
IMPORTANT - If you played on the beta after EA.1.7.0 (Co-op Update), you will not need to start a new beta save (although it helps to experience every new detail). However, if you haven't played your beta save since before EA.1.7.0, you will have no choice other than to start again.
NEW CONTENT FOR 1.0
Biomes



Our world has now been divided into biomes. Before, our world was almost completely randomized. This caused a few issues, especially with progression through the game and obtaining upgrades.



By designing a couple of different biomes with specific locations, resources and visuals, we’ve created a more structured world, while still allowing for some procedural variety.
New Points-Of-Interest



There are many new places to discover in 1.0. These range from large new locations to explore, like The Workshop, to smaller points of interest like Luciferin Plants. A small location in the Overgrown Ruins where you can land and gather a useful new resource.
Chapter 4 - The Final Chapter



After acquiring the 1.0 Cure at the end of the current chapter, It’s finally time to take the cure back to the colony on board The Ark. Simple…right??



As always, we’ve included the changelog info so you can see every single thing that has been added, changed and fixed for 1.0. There are still some known issues which we’re in the process of fixing, which we listed below.
