Hello everyone!
As we discussed in the last Foundry Friday, today is the release day for Update 2.2!
It's LIVE RIGHT NOW so you can go ahead and download & play the update RIGHT AWAY!
BB admires the Drill Ship.
Like we discussed last FF, we wanted to improve terraforming from a cumbersome and boring feature into something that doesn't get in the way while ALSO rewarding creativity. At the same time, we've also delivered some QoL changes and construction themed decor. It's important to us that we keep raising the overall quality of the game with smaller QoL changes while we work on other more subs-train-tial upcoming features.
Big Changes
Added Drill Shapes for mining tools (dig multiple blocks at once)
Added Shaped Charges (precision explosives)
Added Personal Mining Drones & Construction Ship based terraforming
Added Drill Ships (tunnel boring machines)
Added Resource Separator: Reprocess dirt & stone into ore.
Improved Filter Functionality Balancer: Filter specific item types with belt balancers.
Smaller Changes
Added “Irrigation Tool” that allows to regrow grass.
Added several Powerlines QoL Improvements.
Improved Conveyor Drag Mode.
Added New Pipe Drag Mode.
Added Minor QoL improvements.
Added Construction-Site-Themed Decor Items
That's about it for now. Thanks for all the feedback and support you show us. We'll be back with the Foundry Friday this friday!
See you soon! -Liz the community Manager
