After a ton of new features going into the game, we're now at the stage of locking off anything new, and focussing on polishing what we have.

The main areas we've added for the next patch are:

• Completely rewritten mobs
  
• Gun turrets
  
• Loads of interface tweaks and polish
  
• A much more helpful ARTHER
  
• Much faster and hopefully more straightforward progression for new players
  
• A much more expansive help system, using content submitted by the community
  
• A detailed and comprehensive graphics settings menu
  
• A new way of locating Crystals, using audio
  
• Loads and LOADS of framerate improvements
  
• Magma and Sand fluid systems added
  
• Plants and other organics added
  
• You can also now actually die in a number of ways #survive
  
• New machines include Electric Lights, MiniHoppers and the ARTHER Recharge station.
  
• And finally, a brand-new intro sequence for first-time players.

1.17 is now available to everyone, and features the completely awesome flying robot laser quarries:



If you're the brave sort, the latest test patch has added in the first mob combat, which will be iterated over the next week or so. Other highlights include some great performance increases, fluid simulation for sand and magma, a shiny new detailed settings menu, game balance fixes, ARTHER improvements and lethal jet turbine flames.



Awww yeah.

Awww yeah.

Some people disagreed with FortressCraft's "Glorious" rating, and you know what? They were right. They WERE right. The new 1.18 patch now offers an extensive settings menu, allowing you to tweak all of the major performance-affecting sections of the game.



Have I missed something out? Let me know!

Oh yeah - and that jet turbine will kill you if you stand behind it now.
