This game will launch in Early Access very soon, and this will be the build that pushes Cosmorists out of a closed alpha, and into a beta! This is the first beta build of the game, and one that the community will soon play!
Let's check out the update!
Major additions / changes
- 20 new technologies in the tech tree.
- A reshaped tech tree.
- Cobalt tools and weapons, the blue ore teased on Aquatica.
- 2 higher tiers of oxygenators.
- A new grassy biome in the plains.
- A new tier of heaters and coolers, and underwater variants.
- Reworked temperature-based debuffs.
- Upgradable fuel chambers.
Here's another addition to the game not included as part of the launch countdown, fog!
In the dark cave biome on Tierra at a certain depth, this fog will significantly reduce visibility for added tension in this biome. Here it is in action below! (gif is sped up 5x)
A similar effect will occur on other biomes on Tierra at varying intensities and colors!
