What's New

SOLARIS is a tool used in last month's Falkor cruise to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) in corals. ROS are byproducts of biological processes involving oxygen; they are toxic and, in most cases, organisms seek to neutralize them. Their ability to do so is affected by stress, so measuring the ROS a coral emits and comparing it to a baseline gives scientists a way to know how stressed it is. SOLARIS takes these measurements right next to the coral without further stressing it, and when you think how much a coral is disturbed by being brought to a lab on the surface, its advantages become very apparent.

Here's a dive where you can see the real SOLARIS in action (May 4th). Sometimes they talk about the game, like at 00h55m30s and 02h04m22s (long dives!)

SOLARIS appears in the Tokelau Dive, which we've revised with a new flow and objectives. We've also fixed bugs, made a few changes to the ROV's light based on feedback, and improved the internal organization of the save file (the naming convention for dives is more robust now).

IMPORTANT - there's no in-game tutorial for SOLARIS yet, though we've updated the manual with all the relevant information.

ALSO IMPORTANT - Updating to this version should reset the Tokelau dive's objectives and nothing else. We've tested this against profiles from several versions past, but if you see anything strange after the update, please let us know.

Moving Forward

We'll keep 0.7.35 in beta until the end of the week, and then we'll roll it out for everyone. Starting tomorrow, we'll go back to the Hoel, which will be an all-new dive with the biggest wreck we've done yet.

Happy subROVving! 😁
