The Alpha 136 Update is Here:
Hello everyone, PQ here! We’re thrilled to announce a major update for EFAS.
After extensive discussions, we’ve decided to embark on a new gameplay direction where you’ll take on the role of a military base commander. To confront formidable enemies, a totalitarian approach will be necessary. You’ll manage every aspect of the base, from overseeing your troops' daily lives to making critical decisions about their fates and shaping their beliefs
Your progress is closely linked to the base's development, as complex tech modules have been integrated into unlockable buildings. Upgrading these structures will boost your combat capabilities. We’ve also introduced a farming system to produce essential materials for your operations. As you advance, you’ll unlock automation features that allow your soldiers to assist with various tasks, easing your workload. Exciting new building art designs are also underway, and you’ll witness the rise of a new faction.
Additionally, there are many other updates, with the highlight being the eagerly awaited move-slide feature!
We can’t wait for you to explore all the new content. If you encounter any issues or have feedback, please reach out to us
