Finally, the long awaited lootification patch is out! We’re bringing more resources, more parts, more augmentations, changes to boilers and levers, the new Modules, a new 15 level instance, resource drops from enemies, new enemies and new enemy behavior/attacks. We also updated the entire armor/damage system and made blocks/parts vulnerable to weapons. Furthermore, we added a bigger inventory, vastly improved the in-game GUI and added a console with a set of commands for you to play with. We hope you’ll enjoy!
Please note that almost all the new content and changes will solely be in Survival Mode and Creative Mode, meaning that Story Mode will almost be the exact same as it was before v.0.3.0. We plan on adding all the new content to Story Mode in a later patch.
Patch notes:
- Added chat/console. Press enter to open the chat/console while in a game. You can type /help in the chat/console to get a list of possible commands. The commands are the following: “/help”, “/time”, “/mob”, “/res” and “/mode”
- Added new graphics to the following in-game UI: control-panel, inventory and experience/health bar.
- Increased the size of the inventory from 9 slots to 27 slots. The hotkey bar will still consist of 9 slots, but it’s possible to open your “backpack”, that has 18 extra slots, by clicking the backpack-icon or with the hotkey “I”.
- Added 21 new resources to the game. These resources can be found various places in the world or by killing enemies. The new resources are the following: “Pheomelanin”, “Azurite”, “Larva Bile”, “Fuchsia”, “Venom”, “Slime”, “Flax”, “Kaolinite”, “Niter”, “Fish oil”, “Oil”, “Rubber”, “Aetherium”, “Vaporized aetherium”, “Coal”, “Enzyme”, “Psilocybin”, “Tungsten”, “Chromite”, “Lead” and “Nickel”.
- Removed Sand Cave from Survival mode.
- Changed Multimine in Survival mode. The Multimine now only have 1 level.
- Added a new instance: Deep Cave. The Deep Cave has 15 random generated levels. Each level is significantly larger than the usual mine/cave-levels and has a unique structure with vertical slopes making it hard to traverse. Additionally, random generated areas will spawn on each level. Each area will include a set of minerals (resources), enemies (e.g. the “Iron patch” consist of Iron, Lead and Cave Squids). Areas will have more minerals in them depending on the instance-level, and areas with more valuable resources are more likely to spawn further down the Deep Cave.
- Added the option to teleport up and down from different levels in the Deep Cave. It’s only possible to teleport to levels that you have already reached in that specific Deep Cave. You can only teleport from an instance exit/entrance, and can do so by clicking SHIFT + F when near an exit/entrance.
- Changed the armor-values of all blocks/parts, enemies and John. Most block/parts and enemies now have significantly more armor (making them more durable).
- Changed the damage output of the Ballista, Railgun, Sawblade, Spikes and Steel Spikes to better reflect the new armor-values.

- The Copper lever now only have 1 output.
- The Iron Lever (old lever) now only has 2 outputs and each output is separated.
- Changed how boilers work. Boilers now outputs different amounts of “power”, the Copper boiler outputs the lowest power and the Superheated boiler (new part) outputs the highest power. The amount of power has different effects on parts that takes steam as input - e.g. the more power makes Railgun projectiles shoot longer or pistons lift more weight.
- New part: Grappler. The Grappler can shoot a hook which attaches itself to terrain. The Grappler requires Steam to function. The Grappler can be mounted or controlled via cable input.
- New part: Superheated boiler. The Superheated boiler is the strongest boiler, and Water and Oil to function.
- New part: Advanced lever. The Advanced Lever has 3 outputs and each output is separated.

- Added “Modules” to the game. Modules are parts that can be build and placed in the world. It’s possible to connect Modules to the Ballista, Railgun or Cannon (new part) via Tubes (new part) to change the effect of the weapons attack.
- New Module: Poison Module. The Poison Module adds (if connected) a poison effect to the weapon, poisoning enemies that are hit by the weapons attack. Poison deals damage over time.

- New augmentation: Phase Chaining. Phase Chaining will cause enemies hit by the Railguns projectiles to enter a paralyzing phase state for a short duration. Additionally, hitting a phased enemy will cause the projectile to chain to another nearby enemy. Phase Chaining will change the consumption of the Railgun.
- New augmentation: Pierce. Pierce will allow the Ballistas arrows to pierce through enemies and blocks/parts. Pierce will change the consumption of the Ballista.
