SES Weekly Comms - 8/2/2017

Been a bit of a crazy week here! We pushed out hotfix 197, the experimental test is still running, and we have two awesome things to announce!

Terrain as a Resource

This week's vlog reveals a completely new gameplay mechanic, terrain as a resource! If you want a great walkthrough of exactly what that means, check out the video below. Also included is some news about changes to beacons and the drill.

We are still working out some kinks, but you can expect this to hit the experimental branch sometime soon.

Astroneer Merch

The wait is finally over! Astroneer finally has merchandise. We partnered with Fangamer who came up with some awesome designs for both women and men. Partnering with them allowed us to keep working on the game while they handled all the details!

You can get yours here: https://www.fangamer.com/collections/astroneer

That's all for this week, will be back next week with more concrete details about a terrain as a resource experimental test!
