New Trailer

You can find our new Fog of War Update Trailer Here!

Exploration Drone & Fog of War

Explore the map and uncover the fog of war with your new Drone! The exploration drone is unlocked by completing objectives. The drone main uses is to find resources outside your starting area. Also, you cannot purchase land tiles that are fully covered by the fog.

The drone has a battery and charges itself with its own solar panels. All you need to do is set waypoints by entering world coordinates.

Improved Crafting

We have completely remade the crafting tool from the ground up! To read more about all the crafting changes, please see the devlog HERE.

Shipping Depot

The Shipping Depot is a new building which you start with which acts as the central place for everything that involves shipping. The Shipping Depot is the new home for Market Orders, Selling items to the market, and completing contracts.

You now get paid out for contracts when the contract is being picked up.

Reward Objectives

The in-game objectives have been remade with new SFX, animations and 13 new objectives to complete. Plus, completing them unlocks tools, money and items as a reward.

Challenges

When starting a game, you now have the option to turn on up to 5 different challenges. These challenges include:

• Windy - Wind will never go below 80km/h (49mph)

• No Warnings - All warnings are disabled and cannot be enabled.

• No Worker Skills - Workers will not be able to increase their skills.

• Eco Conscious - Cannot operate Coal Heaters and Coal Generators (you will be given two turbines and a battery at the start of the game)

• No Pausing - The pause button is disabled.

Improved Tutorial

The in-game tutorial has been updated to hopefully be less force full and more helpful! There are new short tutorial videos to provide a more visual experience. The skip tutorial option are more obvious and frequent and you are never forced to open a menu because of a tutorial.
