Multiplayer - Bring a friend, Co worker or scapegoat
Fancy showing off your contraptions? Need a scapegoat to shout at when things go wrong? or need a break from creating an automated system so want to recruit a human instead? (they are cheaper after all) then you can do so!! Multiplayer is being included in the Main branch of the game with the full release of I Fetch Rocks.
We do still consider the multiplayer a Beta part of the game however, during the latest testing and community feedback we believe it is ready to be included into the main branch.
If you do find any bugs please ensure you report them so we can continue improving the multi-person experience.
Improved Graphics - Eyeball Candy
For those who like the finer things in life there are now further options in the graphics settings allowing you to tailor your view to meet your requirements (or your PC Specs).
Moving Targets - Gotta catch um!
For those that want more of a challenge or just want to harvest rare elements closer to home, moving asteroids are introduced in the full release.
With risk there is reward! These moving beasts will always contain the rarer elements but are not as easy to capture as they look. From a distance they leisurely float across the screen but getting up close , matching speed, harpooning them and slowing down before you enter a high radiation zone is a recipe for high pressure mistakes…. Have FUN!!
These are also something to be aware of when navigating the asteroid belt. I speak from personal experience having been blindsided more than once by these sneaky monsters of the void. I highly recommend paying attention to your surroundings when you park up to try to fix your ship or scratch your nose.
Repair Tool - If it's broke, FIX IT!!
Radiation hitting you hard? Want to fix on the fly because you have no money or are stranded in the void?
Use the new repair tool to fix those radiation damaged modules.
Plug in the repair tool, point it at a broken module and voila!
How? you ask, well our Marketing department assures us that it works using GPS nanobots to reconfigure energy into the matter needed to fix a broken module. Why GPs nanobots? Is this really how it works? Our R&D team has refused to provide comments so… Yes!! Yes it is.
Extract All - I want it all!
In the options for Ore Processing you can now use an "Extract All" function that will harvest all the elements present in the rock (known and unknown) positioned in the Ore Processing Plant.
Amazing! Wonderful!! I hear you cry but wait.. There is a cost.
The extraction process for a single element is 100% efficient as it burns through all other elements to get to the relevant ores. When you are processing all elements the efficiency drops as there are no “junk” elements to burn through when extracting. Wonderful if you only need a top up of several elements but costly if you want to extract larger volumes.

I know I said that I wouldn't add multiplayer co-op as it was too difficult, well... I decided I wanted a challenge and after many months of hard work, it's nearly ready for release!
You'll soon be able to bring some friends on your asteroid hauling adventure, to collaborate and help build and fix your ship.
This footage was captured from the upcoming native mobile vr Meta Quest version of I Fetch Rocks and there will be multiplayer cross play between Desktop and Mobile VR.
I'll also be adding some graphical improvements for the Desktop VR version in forthcoming updates.
I'll need to iron out any issues with the help of some willing beta testers, so If you're interested in testing the multiplayer, please let me know by emailing [email protected] or message me in the discord.

This is a quality of life update which adds the ability to change the colour of small data cables to help visually organise some your more complex circuits. Simply grab the cable and use the button on your controller that normally changes the distance of your interaction spheres

Hello rock fetchers,
The team has been working hard to bring you the next update and give you more of what you want.
First of all:
In the Academy, you'll be able to complete 17 curated courses that should help break down essential computer science concepts. You'll acquire foundational knowledge in boolean logic, bits, and binary operations, enabling you to better utilize the components that make up your ship.
The future plans for the academy include releasing a Creator Mode and it being a part of the improved tutorial once that has been completed.
Next up is:
The other aspect of this update (and the more exciting to some) is a new room…but not on your ship!
On the processing plant the company has granted permission for you to lease its unused server room capacity. These vertical cylinders of blank wall space grant you the room to build out circuits however you wish. Navigate by climbing the pole and the new “floor” will be where you stop (It is in Zero-G after all).... But that's not all!!
Using specialist wireless technology the server room's outputs can be beamed to your ship wherever it is located ( in your area of operation) once you have completed the relevant special contract. The possibilities for company profit selling you modules is now endless!!
Wireless transmitter and receiver modules can operate on 15 different frequencies and each frequency can transport 32 x 16bit channels, much like a large data cable.
We hope this major update will inspire you all to keep coming up with fantastic ways to wire your ships for rock hauling… or build your own CPU If you prefer…
To unlock the privilege of server rooms you must complete the relevant special contract(s) , purchase wireless transmitters, receivers and a lease from the company store.
We appreciate all the community feedback and are still amazed at what you are all accomplishing within our game. The new tutorial is our next priority to help guide new players into the game. Beyond that is the Academy Creator mode and 1.0 release.
Until next time rock hauling engineers!
I Fetch Rocks team.

This update adds an exciting new feature to the in-game data pad called "Compositions".
Compositions allow you to save and name your current ship configuration independently from your save games. Compositions can be saved for the whole ship, or on a per room basis. This allows you to do things like experiment with new ship configurations in sandbox mode, save them as a composition and then load these compositions into your Career Mode Save game.
In Career mode, you'll only be able to load the composition if you're in the dock and you have the required components. If you have the funds, you'll also be given an easy option to automatically purchase any components you don't already own when loading a composition.
Rendering performance for rooms with exceptionally complex circuits with many floating objects has also been significantly improved.
