NEW:
- Tech Tree - a new progression path for players in Robocraft. Unlocking parts with Tech Points, earned through levelling up, grants players access to parts that can then be forged and placed on Robots. For more information on the Tech Tree, read our FAQ.
- Tech Points - Tech Points are used to unlock parts on the Tech Tree. Players will receive 1x Tech Point for each level up to and including level 343 as this is the amount of Tech Points required to unlock everything on the Tech Tree.
- Robit rewards for battle - Players will now receive Robit rewards for completing battles; this is proportional to their performance in battle. Perform well and you'll receive more Robits.
- All salvage reward crates have now been removed from Robocraft. Players will no longer see, receive or are able to purchase any Salvage Reward crates in Robocraft. These have been replaced by Robit rewards for battle performance, Tech Points and Daily Quests.
OTHER CHANGES:
- Faster player levelling - In order to reduce player grind, we have increased the speed at which players up to level 375 level up. Depending on XP earned in battle, players level 1-10 will earn a level-up every 1-2 games. For players up to level 375, and depending on XP earned in battle, you’ll level-up every 3 games. For players above level 375 and above, you’ll level-up every 10 games. Again, these numbers are dependent on XP earned in battle.
- Changes to the starter inventory for new players - A basic inventory of Robot Mech Leg Spartans and Laser Wasp Weapons are awarded to new players to enable them to start building quickly.
- Community Robot Factory (CRF) improvements - 'All Robots' regardless of parts unlocked on the Tech Tree will now be seen by all players on the CRF. Robots that a player can use, as they have the required parts unlocked on the Tech Tree, are differentiated by colour from those that cannot be used. Players can also chose to hide Robots that cannot use via a checkbox on the left-side of the CRF screen.This checkbox is turned on by default; uncheck it to see all Robots.
- 1024 x 768 minimum resolution supported - Players at 800 x 600 resolution can still play at this resolution, but may experience a reduction in game quality.
- Performance improvements to Earth maps containing trees
