No tricks, just a treat!
Today we're releasing our third major update, and with it, Steam Workshop support, through the new Information Exchange feature!
Even in this initial version, we made sure that workshop support is completely integrated into the Cubic Metaware, which means that you can browse and download other player's shared fabrication schematics entirely from within Cubic.
Just check out the new browse tab on your Fabrication Station. Don't worry though, if it's your thing, you can still use the standard steam workshop web experience to browse and rate your fellow contributor's schematics.
This is just a first step, among many, that we will be taking to more deeply connect our community to each other and to us. Still, we are really excited for the potential momentum around collaborative construction and iteration of fabrications within just this first version of the feature.
To get things kicked off, we wanted to have a fun little pumpkin carving contest!
We've gone ahead and uploaded a generic pumpkin schematic that you can download in-game and customize however you like. Three winners will be picked, based on a combination of votes from the community and an interpreted amount of originality (since derivation is likely to occur). Deadline for submissions is November 1st, 10am PST.
- 1st Place - Will receive an Investors key to upgrade their account as well as a Cubic 4-pack to share with their friends.
- 2nd Place - Will receive an Investors key and another copy of Cubic to share.
- 3rd Place - Will receive an Investors key and a well intentioned but still imagined ethereal high-five.
Good luck, and have fun to all who take a "stab" at the contest!
One to many:
Finally, since this is the very first step for Cubic in to a community of interconnectedness, let's focus on being a community known for being excellent to one another, from the very beginning through to the hopefully very distant end!
As always please report any bugs or feature requests that pop up and we'll get them added to the development list.
