Reworked map

The demo map has been rebuilt with refreshed terrain, shadows, hazards, delivery connections, and base details. Bases now have more distinctive names, while revised routes create more interesting journeys across the highlands.

Build Your Own Fuel Network

Fuel Cache Kits can now be purchased and transported as heavy cargo. Land in suitable open terrain to deploy a persistent refueling point.

  • Deploy up to three caches.

  • Each cache contains a finite supply of free fuel.

Route and Fuel Planning

The map now displays route distance, map scale, and an approximate fuel requirement.

Hover over a contract to preview its expected fuel cost before accepting it, with warnings for tight margins, insufficient fuel, or excessive takeoff mass.

Retro Assist

Hold B on the keyboard or B on a gamepad to fire your lateral thrusters against horizontal movement. This makes it easier to slow down and change course during long flights.

Retro Assist consumes fuel just like normal maneuvering would.

Improved Flight Awareness

  • The altitude tape now marks the high-altitude hazard boundary.

  • New HIGH ALTITUDE and FUEL CRITICAL warnings provide earlier notice of danger.

  • Wind changes are easier to recognize through improved HUD animation.

  • Emergency alerts and terminal messages now identify the cause of system damage and the affected systems

Visual and Audio Polish

  • New environment color grading and vignette effects.

  • Removed bloom and improved antialiasing.

  • Redesigned main-thruster audio.

  • Updated cargo, navigation, booster, pickup, success, and failure sounds.

  • Improved performance around terrain, geysers, HUD updates, and collision checks.

  • Fixed damaged thrusters sometimes continuing to produce thrust.

  • Improved crashes involving drills and deployed fuel caches.

Thank you for playing the Void Cargo: Equilibrium demo. Safe flying.
