We just unveiled the next batch of armaments coming in the Packing Heat DLC.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3708690/Trailmakers_Packing_Heat/

The following blocks are included:

• Propeller Engine
  
• Landmine Dispenser
  
• Sea Mine Dispenser
  
• Depth Charge Dispenser
  
• Flamethrower
  
• Torpedo
  
• Small Tank Cannon
  
• Retro Stabilizer

You can watch the full Dev Diary here:


Watch a short recap here:


Today we are rolling out Steam Cloud Support:

• We are cloud saving save games, transformation slots and blueprints.
  
• We support up to 10,000 files and up to 1500MB, whichever comes first.
  
• If you exceed any of these numbers, we cannot guarantee which files will be cloud saved, but none of your files should be deleted.
  
• Cloud syncing 10,000 blueprints took ~20 minutes the first time I closed the game, but is instantaneous after that.
  
• If you add blueprints to the blueprints folder while not in-game, they will not be sync'd until you start and then exit the game, due to how Steam Cloud save works.
  
• We are "only" syncing the real save location, meaning that if your game uses the backup location in the installation folder, those will not be cloud saved.

Shed your winter clothes because things are about to get very hot!

We just announced both the free content coming with PvP Part 2 which includes Deathmatch, Underwater Weapons, and Flak Cannons. You can watch the recap here



Alongside the exciting new features and blocks we also announced the next Trailmakers expansion: Packing Heat! Much more information will follow on May 28 where we do a Dev Diary deep dive into the new DLC weapons.

In the meantime, please go wishlist Packing Heat. It helps us more than you think!

Hey Trailmakers!

We hope you are enjoying Planet Gregory in Sandbox mode!

We wanted to push a small hotfix to address a couple of issues we became aware of since releasing the update yesterday.

• Fixed an issue when trying to navigate into/select the top two rows of Blueprints with controller.
  
• Fixed an incorrect offset of 0.125 on the Distance Sensor.
  
• Fixed the Smoke Generator not correctly being tintable and only emitting grey smoke.
  
• Fixed the Smoke Trail Generator and other blocks that emitted exhaust smoke having invisible smoke on maps with out water.
  
• Fixed our instanced rendering frustrum culling not correctly working.

These fixes will make their way to console platforms early next week!

Alright, this one needed a little more time in the oven than anticipated but we hope it was worth the wait. There are A LOT of changes, fixes, and features with this update.

Let's dive into it. ⬇️



PIONEERS - The Pioneers map is now available in sandbox!
Sandbox - BOTNAKs and respawning Mega Drills!
Peaceful Sandbox - Byg og Hyg!




PIONEERS - Added a Difficulty option to Session Options. Cadet and Veteran!
Cadet Difficulty is the standard difficulty.
Veteran Difficulty is for players who want a more challenging experience. Enemies are tougher, deal more damage and respawn quicker. Players can only ever have 1 Repair Token and Teleportation is not available in Campaign mode.

PIONEERS - Six BOTNAK Camps have appeared around the world.
Three in the Meadows.
One in Mudflats.
Two in Withered Heights.

PIONEERS - Ancient Blueprints have been discovered on Gregory. What does it mean?

PIONEERS - Seven new Obsidian side missions.
Four in Meadows.
One in Mudflats.
Two in Withered Heights.

PIONEERS - If you spawn in a blueprint with uncrafted blocks, you can now track the resources required to craft the missing blocks.



AIRBORNE - I have said since the release of Airborne that we needed the Maker Tool hover enabled in Airborne but no one listened. Then ScrapMan came to visit and brought it up and what do you know. We now have Maker Tool hover in sandbox. I guess I will just have to become a famous YouTuber and maybe people will start taking me seriously around here. Anyways, I should probably stop ranting in the patch notes.



BUILDER - Added a Search function. Now you can search for just the right block! Keyboard and Mouse users can press CTRL + F when in the Builder to jump directly to it!



BUILDER - Added a ‘Go to Category’ button to sub categories when browsing the All Blocks and Build Vehicles tabs.

BUILDER - You can now use the right stick to scroll when cursor is inside the block inventory.

BLOCKS - Increased Distance Sensor range from 50m > 1000m.

GENERAL - Removed many now unused video files to greatly reduce install size on all platforms.


PIONEERS - The groups of BOTNAK enemies found around the world will now respawn after 30 minutes (15 if playing on Veteran difficulty). Previously they did not respawn meaning it was possible to clear the map of enemies outside of the ones that randomly spawn during gameplay.

PIONEERS - Mission Steps have had checkpoints added at various steps in the same session, meaning if you die during a mission you will reset back to one of these checkpoints, rather than all the way back in the last Settlement visited. Combat steps will reset to the previous step if you die on them. This also applies to the chase sequence in the Bottom Feeder’s Mission in Mudflats and Scootie’s Dare 3 in Withered Heights. In Multiplayer it will only reset the step if all players in the mission die!

PIONEERS - Settlement XP Earned as a Client in MP now carries over to your SP progress.

GENERAL - Re-encoded Main Menu, Pioneers, Airborne and Stranded videos to play correctly on the Steam Deck.

PIONEERS - Side Missions are no longer automatically displayed on the map. They will now only appear when you get close to them.

PIONEERS - Improved the messaging when you are about to Quit out of a Pioneers session which will warn you about any in progress Missions you will lose progress on.

PIONEERS - Wetlands are now muddy!

PIONEERS - A save now happens when entering a Settlement.

PIONEERS - The fuel bar now animates when fuel is picked up.

PIONEERS - Added a new Froggit outside Leapsvale, Nitrog, who explains more about fuel and repair tokens!

PIONEERS - Another new Froggit is visting Settlements around Gregory. Trailmaker Geek will help you out with expert knowledge!

PIONEERS - Moved Mission icons further away from Settlement icons on the map to make them easier to see, hover over and click.

PIONEERS - Side Mission Characters now have unique dialogue before, during and after their missions.

PIONEERS - The structures you are given in the tutorial should now match your profile default colour and skin selection.

PIONEERS - Reduced the range of the BOTNAK Artillery from 200 > 160.

PIONEERS - Reduced the amount of BOTNAK spawned in An Easy Win. It now spawns 1 Artillery, 1 Tank and 2 Tier 2 Drones.

PIONEERS - Moved the spawn position of the A Helping Hand Cargo to lessen potential confusion if a player had both that and Reinforcing Leapsvale Missions active at the same time.

PIONEERS - Optimized the crumble effect when breaking resource nodes.

PIONEERS - Added Steam Rich Presence for Pioneers Sandbox modes.

RACE ISLAND - Aligned repair behavior with other game modes. Now pressing R will not immediately realign your vehicle regardless of speed. You need to hold R to repair and your momentum and direction is retained.

BUILDER - If you close a sub-category inside the block inventory this state is now remembered across sessions.

BUILDER - We made the loading of blocks in the Builder async - this essentially means we load them when they are needed, rather than all at once.

BUILDER - If playing with Controller, pressing B will now open and move selection to the Block Inventory. Press B again will close it and move your cursor back to where it was.

BUILDER - We improved the camera centering when auto focusing on a block, and spawning in Blueprints. It now takes into account the Block Inventory being open and centers based on that.

BUILDER - Re-ordered button placement in top left bar so if using the Undo/Redo buttons the position of them does not change.


PIONEERS - Fixed a bug where if a projectile was fired via logic or toggles, the kill would not correctly be attributed to the player, meaning no XP, loot or mission progress would be rewarded.

PIONEERS - Fixed grass in the Skytrees not correctly being culled at a distance.

PIONEERS - Fixed cases where the Artillery Tier 3 would not behave correctly.

PIONEERS - Fixed some Mission Intercoms incorrectly requiring the player to press E to progress them.

PIONEERS - Fixed it so if you tried to jump over the stairs at Skytrees Settlements next to Task Buddy, with Controller, it would not also interact with Task Buddy.

PIONEERS - Removed the number from the end of the Settlement Progress UI.

PIONEERS - Improved colliders around the Mega Drill wreck in Meadows.

PIONEERS - Fixed the Mission Marker still being displayed on Cargo you were currently carrying with the Tractor Beam.

PIONEERS - Fixed the congratulations screen when beating Pioneers being the wrong colour.

PIONEERS - Fixed a Controller specific bug where if you had an empty mission log, picked up a new mission and immediately opened the log you would not have navigation.

PIONEERS - Fixed cases where trying to repair a structure with unowned/uncrafted blocks would cause you to have invisible and floating blocks.

PIONEERS - Improved the visuals of the Artillery AOE Pulse so it no longer has the funnel at the top.

PIONEERS - In Multiplayer if a Main Mission is completed multiple times, Settlement XP is only rewarded the first time now.

PIONEERS - Replaced the rocks found on beaches with a new and improved, and prettier, model!

PIONEERS - Improved camera behaviour around Settlements by putting more prefabs in the correct layer.

PIONEERS - Fixed BOTNAK shields not playing the correct shatter VFX when destroyed.

PIONEERS - Fixed the Mudflats Mega Drill particles looking like mud rather than water.

PIONEERS - Fixed cases of if you tried to skip the tutorial by jumping up the Mudslide incorrectly making a save too early, which meant you didn’t have the correct blocks when going into Pioneers. If you do this, you should now start with the correct blocks. But you’ll still need to go and find some resources to get started, so did you really save any time?

PIONEERS - Fixed the Cloudpoke Froggit Rescue II Passengers waiting for pick up in the air.

PIONEERS - Fixed a slightly floating Gold Crate next to the Withered Heights Mega Drill checkpoint.

PIONEERS - Fixed the grass having stripes at very specific times of day.

PIONEERS - Fixed the BOTNAK in the tutorial not correctly having a Mission Marker over it.

PIONEERS - Added the Simple Hub Cap accessory to Pioneers, it was missing!

PIONEERS - Fixed the Combat Tasks in Skytrees asking for Artillery. Now they specify you need to kill the White Artillery found in Withered Heights.

PIONEERS - Fixed cases of BOTNAK ambushes happening much more frequently than intended.
