Version 1.3 releases on July 15th 2020 (12pm US Pacific) with some game changing new features, as well as fixes, changes and balances!! I've been working constantly since the release to bring the largest ever update to Hydroneer. Full patch notes will be released on the day, but here's some highlights:
New blueprint crafting progression system
Progressively craft bigger and more expensive and useful items with the new crafting workbench! Purchasable from the new Bridgepour Harbour location.
D.A.V.I.D. Shard powered machine
Greatly improve the convenience of using the Goliath drill with the Dynamic Auto Voxel Inclusion Distributor (D.A.V.I.D.) - a shard powered machine which duplicates dirt.
Cloutium Resource
As well as balancing resource spawn rates, a super-rare ore is now in Hydroneer - Cloutium!
New Conveyor Items
The Conveyor system has had a total rework, as well as new corner belts, barriers, and directional arrows when placing down!
Quality of Life Improvements!
1.3 is packed full of quality of life improvements, optimisation, and bug fixes.
Lots, lots more!!
