Patch v0.3648 TIER 3 AND PIOS!

Hey ArkCoNauts!

The wait is at an end, and here it comes, the Tier 3 content patch! For the first time in Edge of Space’s history, you can now delve down into the deadly depths of the Barren biome, and all the terrors it holds. Along with this comes the return of PIOS! We’ve been working harder than ever to release this much content alongside the beast that is the power grid system, but we got it done and we can’t wait to see everyone in game enjoying all the new content. This being a complete re-write of PIOS, there will most likely be bugs in it, so please be sure to file bug reports and help us kill those off as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing your feedback on everything, and we’ll see you in space!

  • PIOS has been rebuilt and is being released. All new art, icons, better connection layout, and directional animations have been added. ( Decoration 1 now houses 3 items that use the new PIOS system initial implementation testing, more will come soon after)
