Greetings Pioneers!

Our experimental branch has just been updated with some major fixes, and the all important in game text chat system 😉 If all goes smoothly we should be closing the experimental branch to the public soon and moving the multiplayer into our main branch.

When this happens we’ll have several dedicated servers up and running for pioneers to join.

Big thanks to everyone so far who has opted in early to test the multiplayer in its infancy, We can’t wait to switch over to focusing on releasing further content as we go forward.

If you missed out and would like to opt in to the experimental multiplayer you can follow our guide in our previous post here

Very early In game text chat system – you must be close to a player to talk to them. Press ‘T’ to type.

Enemy A.I will now attack built structures correctly.

Fixed mineral rock destruction visuals.

Fixed several server and client crashes, including loading from a server save file.

Fixed late joiner issues with becoming out of sync with the server time.

Fixed not being able to build walls around the Auto Turret.
