A really quick progress update: Lots of updates have gone out since the last announcement. Below are some of the more notable features:
* Rare, high-value loot crates that require lock picks to open. Lock picks can be crafted in the Base Command Unit (at a cost).
* Greatly improved first-person hands model and skin shader.
* Mass Fabricators. Allows players to fabricate their own mass using power. Can be run in 'overdrive' mode which doubles mass production at the cost of power efficiency.
* Hammers can now be crafted, allowing players to repair damaged base items.
* Persistent character loadouts/locations when leaving and re-joining servers.
* Continued expansion of the world.
* Numerous balancing tweaks, bug/exploit fixes and general gameplay improvements.
Multiplayer testing has been running on a very small scale, and will be ramping up soon. Thanks so much to all those that have been helping test the game, it has helped immensely. Please stay posted for further updates.
