Hello Nomads,
Now that the plan is set all the way till November, we have started working on those major features that are going to make their way into Planet Nomads in the upcoming weeks such as advanced planetary and game settings, proper energy system, central grid control and more.
We have spread the team to work on these all at once, so today's update is more of a cosmetic one, but still brings something new.
New Alternative Wheel Model
This is not the big wheel for mobile bases we announced. The big one is coming later on together with bigger suspensions.
Some of you may remeber this one from the alpha. We decided to change it for the EA release to the more rover-like wheel you all now from Planet Nomads, but looking at some of the older builds it feels like this one should also be part of Planet Nomads.
New Alternative Small Cockpit
This one no one has seen before. It's just a fresh-looking cockpit with some modern curves to it. Feel free to experiment.
Used together, they create vehicles that may look like this one.
Improved Tree Sounds
Tree sounds is the final part of today's update with balanced volumes of the big ones falling and more sounds when you destroy them.
So that's it for today, once we make progress on the other features, you'll see them!
Take care, Nomads, and enjoy the new vehicle designs.
