The final update is now here ! The game is now ready to leave the Early Access !
It focuses on a "boss" mecha, the limited ammo, the lost logbooks and many optimizations/fixes.
There have been also a lot of adjustments in order to give you the smoother gameplay experience as possible.
The boss mecha
This mecha is different from the others. It is harder to destroy, it is stronger, and it uses special capacities.
If you beat it, you will not be able to hack it, but you will be well rewarded.
Limited ammo
Starting from this update, standard ammunition will become an important part of the game. As it will become limited, engaging combat will not be as straightforward as before.
Ammo can be either crafted or found inside lost chests.
Lost logbooks
Did you know what happened on this planet before your arrival? How can there be uncontrolled mechas? Why was this planet abandoned by humans?
Now is the time to get some answers. Previous humans left logbooks behind, explaining many details about their missions and how things evolved.
The game is now complete, and we will handle it to keep it stable, but there is no major update to expect anymore.
