changedUpdate: Version 1.86 +Meteor explosions now destroy wildlife (resources). +Fixed some bugs with creatures. +Added new inventory system, still very new, "craftable resources" now drop and can be collected. Can be used to craft items with eventually at a fabricator. You can test this at the new "homeland" area. +Homeland unlocked but super new, will be developed extensively moving forward. Will serve as a sandbox for players to build, upgrade and craft with other features. Inventory will soon be opening up into more options and features big time, especially in the homeland area. +New inventory UI system with searching options. +Inventory can be dropped, equipped or used depending on the item. (Only drop works currently). +New "area" pickup ability by pressing F near "dropped items only" will allow you to pick them all up at once. This will come into play later on especially during fast trading/building with other players. -Some other news: Vehicles are really close to being added. This will allow players to craft actual fully functional and controllable vehicles in the game such as battle tanks and hover boards. Everything (including weapons and armor) will use durability. +Blueprints are live, you can find them but keep in mind they are not functional yet. Blueprints are used to craft items and required "craftable resources" (not the same as standard resources you get for building on a colony) and only drop from enemies. So start saving up your resources now and get ready cause crafting/vehicles/weapons and more are all on the way! +Only being VICTORIOUS on a colony map will "sync" (save) your collected inventory. This is to prevent easy in/out farming. There WILL be maps that players will use for grinding but they are not ready yet, they will be more of a sandbox format. Please keep in mind inventory is brand new and nothing is truly safe just yet. Expect rapid updates for balancing as we progress from here.
