addedChapter 2: The first island from Chapter 2 has been added to the game! Explore the frozen world of Heat Death even further.
addedThe All-New Journal: We've introduced a brand-new Journal system, which completely replaces the old "Data Logs" tab right next to your inventory.
addedSuit Mods: You can now upgrade your suit by installing various modules. One of the most important new additions is the Body Heater, which uses your suit's power to keep you warm in extreme conditions.
addedEnvironmental Overhauls: You will notice many environmental changes reflecting the lore, including new faction logos, some buildings being redesigned, and more.
addedWind Turbine: This new module converts wind into power, making it incredibly useful during storms when wind speeds peak. Additionally, because the star is at a sharper angle in Chapter 2's region, solar panels are less effective here, making it the perfect time to switch some over to wind power!
