Welcome back Stationeers!
October’s update lands with a new Stationpedia front and center. Approaching v1.0, it’s going to play a central part in gameplay, so we’ve reworked it in readiness for great things – and hope you like it! Expect even more functionality in the near future.
We’ve also continued with UX improvements, movement tweaks, audio enhancements and UI buffs, while churning out new content, including lights, beds, batteries, some truly HUGE doors, and all kinds of new destruction elements.
So sit back, and get ready to jump into Stationeers once more – there’s a lot to see…
Stationpedia
This update we’ve reworked the Stationpedia in a BIG way – to prepare it for a key role in Stationeers 1.0.
Heading towards release, we want the mighty ‘Pedia to become the central reference for players – so we’ve redesigned it to surface more information, greatly improved functionality, categorization, and laid the groundwork for bringing in even more content in future.
With every update to come, there’ll be more info, resources and lore appearing in the Stationpedia.
In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the new layout, and give feedback through our Discord – tell us what you think!
New Content
We’ve added a lot of new toys this month: Try out fresh furniture like beds, or spotlights to illuminate your big, beautiful base. Build a massive gateway for Very Big Things, power-up the place with the upgraded station battery, say hi to the Trader … or just break things.
Lots of things. Because we’ve been adding destroyed states. Now, if you ‘accidentally’ incinerate, explode or just utterly vaporize part of your base, you can see what’s left behind (spoilers: broken machines and wreckage). It’s a work-in-progress, but expect more … broken things … soon™.
UX + Hardening
Continuing with our hustle on hardening, we’ve been fixing bugs, polishing systems like movement, and adding UX touches such as dynamic deconstruct and double-click to send items between inventory and hands.
AIMEE’s better than ever, thanks to a superstar dev’s deep dive. We’ve also been closing loopholes, tweaking noises, as well as a host of smaller buffs and shine to a range of systems. As always, if you find an issue, sing it our Jira.
Audio Design
There’s a wealth of sonic additions to the Stationeers universe. Expect a new suite of SFX for levers, buttons, keypads, and dials on fabrication machines, logic devices, in-world UI and more.
It won’t be long before you can play with your eyes closed. (maybe)
