Hello!
We spent the entire last week looking at the new additions to The Riftbreaker bestiary, Bomogan, and Stregaros. We’re sure you will have plenty of fun fighting them and researching their unique abilities and behaviors. This week we are going to dive into a little less animate part of nature and tell you how you can utilize it during your adventure. Go get your best plumbing gear and let’s lay down some pipes. It’s time to talk about water in The Riftbreaker.
Water is one of the basic liquid resources in our game. You won’t need to dig up wells and purify the water for consumption, though - Mr. Riggs has internal systems that generate enough water for Ashley to stay hydrated. Instead, you will be using water for more industrial applications. Several buildings require to be connected to a steady source of water for various reasons. Nuclear Power Plants use it for cooling, Flora Cultivators keep the plants fed and hydrated, and Bio-Composters mix Biomass and Water to harvest Flammable Gas. There are plenty of ways you can use water, but where do we get it from?
The simplest answer is to make use of the natural water pools occurring on the Galatea’s surface. It is simply a matter of placing a pump and laying down some pipes - small filters built into the pump will make sure that no fish, debris, or microorganisms get into your pipelines. Things get a little more tricky when you don’t have access to a water pool. Then you have to make use of a special structure - Water Filtering Plant.
This building allows you to make use of Sludge and Mud pools scattered around the planet. Using it is really simple - you just place a regular pump and some pipes, connect the dirty liquid to the Filtering Plant’s input and receive fresh water on the other end. Then it is up to you whether you’d like to store that water up or make use of it immediately. The only thing you need to bear in mind is that pipelines and Liquid Resources Storages can only be filled with one type of liquid at a time.
There you have it - a little bit more of The Riftbreaker technology unveiled. What would you like to learn about next? New buildings? Exotic weapons? Alien creatures? Leave a comment here or join our Discord at www.discord.gg/exorstudios and let us know!
