What's coming after Stockpile?

The currently planned-, upcoming-, named-, updates, in the order they will be released, and a brief overview of what they will contain:

  • Update 1 - Stockpile: Huge engine and backend updates and modernizations. On the gameplay end this update contains stockpile changes, and shards will be used to improve planet stats.

  • Update 2 - Limbo: Ships, fleets, and the Limbo dungeon mechanic.

  • Update 3 - LogisticsA major update to all buildings and resources. Will introduce a brand new method of production chains, how to unlock recipes, haulers, and logistics. "Alpha points" shop becomes available (See Notes B, and C) .

Note A

These are just the three currently planned-, upcoming-, named-, updates. Bugfixes and minor additions may happen inbetween.

Note B

If an update requires a universe wipe; Any existing planets, buildings, resources, fleets, etc, that you may have will be converted into "Alpha points" which you will be able to spend ingame to acquire bundles of resources in order to get back to where you were before faster.

Note C

"Alpha points" can not be purchased for real money and are only a temporary measure during development in case of universe wipes.

Again, these are upcoming-, planned-, updates that are not yet in the game! For specific details on the upcoming patch always refer to the "Upcoming patch" ingame or on the Gods and Idols website
