    Massive Tier Bots, New HUB Types, Quests and More! (Beta 0.7.0)

    The big 0.7.0 is here! I’ve poured a lot of time, effort and honestly some tears into this update. As per usual, it’s really tough to maintain motivation, as I’m still just a one man show (since I certainly don’t make enough to pay anyone to help). Enough of that though! This upd

    Stability and QoL Improvements (Beta 0.6.5)

    Oh wow, it's been a long while since I've posted an update log! I've actually done 4 stability patches since the last one in October (0.6.2-0.6.5 now). So I'll just compile all of the changes into one big post for now! The general work that's been done has mostly impacted the ite

    Part 1 of the Main Questline, A New Bot and Titanium (Beta 0.6.1)

    Major Features: - Added in the rest of Part 1 of the main quest line. I can’t say much about this without spoilers, I’m glad to say that the story up to the first Storm being dealt with is in the game. There will likely be more changes to come, but for now I’m happy with where th

    This update contains a whole new Boss in the Frozen biome. It also has the first of many achievements added in! I can't wait to see how many people try to hunt for all of the achievements in game. There's a surprising amount of work that I've been able to do over the past month,

    Desert Lord Boss, Quest Updates, Major Bug Fixes (Beta 0.5.0)

    It's been a little over a month since the last small stability patch. I came back from a brief vacation and got back to work right away. Much of the work was (and continues to be) planning for what a 1.0 release would look like. It's still on the horizon, but it's always good to

    This is a surprisingly big update even though it hasn't been long since the last update. I've been busy making new enemies and allies, as well as tuning up some of the automation mechanics. Overall, this update is just a load of content that's balanced for the mid-game (which is

    I’ve been busy cooking this update up! It started as a simple content pass where I was going to add more stuff around the map (which I did), but one of our community members had a great idea. This update has been unofficially called the “Krey” update and has a whole new Bot becau

    The Stability Update (Beta 0.3.6)

    Over the course of the month, I've been doing small updates to fix issues all over the game. Some of them were related to crashes, others were related to broken AI pathing, and overall the game should just be more stable. This isn't the most exciting update, for sure, but I just

    The High Tier Update (Beta 0.3.5)

    After the Transfer bot update, I finally felt like it was appropriate to start implementing some of the things that I’ve had in my brain for the longest time. This update introduces some of the new high tier recipes that will require more than just hand-crafting. This includes co

    Another Update for Minor Issues

    Turns out skipping 4 updates to a game engine causes some unforeseen issues! After a week of working off and on in my spare time (which continues to be an issue), I found and fixed some minor and major bugs. Lots of the UI was messed up, so I did a first pass at fixing some of th

    Expansion Core Beta Update! (Beta 0.2.12 Patch Notes)

    Hello again! This update has a whole lot of content, balance passes and bug fixes. The biggest change was to the Quest system, as I've deleted the entire old system and wrote it from the ground up. I'm sure there's still some issues to iron out, but overall, quests are now easier
