This week's update introduces the quest system. The quest system is a new way to introduce gameplay elements to new players while simultaneously alleviating the difficulty of gaining resources without experience. The quest system will be expanded in the future to cover more elements of gameplay and involve more rewarding less tutorial focused objectives.
The nitranite refinery is also being added to continue the slow creep of fort related features and functionality. More refineries and more features like contract boards will be coming to player forts soon.
Join us on Discord for public playtests Friday at 12pm ET, Saturday at 3pm ET, and Monday at 7pm ET.
