Since releasing the Discovery Update last month we found a good balance between adding new locations, adding new features, and polishing/fixing existing systems. All three fronts have seen massive additions, so let’s get right to the specifics!


The planet of Zer has not only been remastered from previous versions but has become vastly upgraded. Visually, we’re using our most advanced terrain tech, complete with lava flows, atmospheric effects, ground texture variety/detail, and wasteland areas.

All the creatures on Zer have been completely upgraded as well, using our latest AI systems to bring these creatures to life.














The cornerstone of what we’re calling internally as “mid-game” progression is the new Deep Terrain Drill. This drill extracts resources out of the ground for you, generating impressive automation mechanics while giving you the choice of either preserving the drill or exploring further with other tasks.



The drill’s infinite power creates seismic disturbances, which may alert all nearby creatures.




The Space Station can now travel to distant planets, anchoring above the planet in Low Orbit and acting as a safe haven for exploring from space. Spaceship docking has been added, empowering you to bring your Ship and commute your supplies to the surface.




A significant addition on the AI front is the species system, which has been in development for several months. We’re so excited to finally unleash this robust feature in this extensive update!

Creatures have mutated into many subspecies, each with its individual strengths and weaknesses, furthering combat strategy and variety. Some can even spit fluids, which can be a devastating advantage in combat. Be careful out there!





Colossus has been given some much-needed animations too.




Greatly expanding on our ever-evolving underground system are a suit of cave and mine locations dispersed across the solar system. Rich in visual detail, the caves are wealthy in minerals and threats, providing you with further opportunities to venture further and deeper in search of precious fortunes.








All the minerals have been upgraded to have unique and interesting 3d models, giving more variety in visual appearance and easier identification.






Various unusual alien plants have bloomed virtually everywhere, even in the severe conditions of Aziel, Lutari, and Zer.








Kicking off with a full-featured upgrade system is the Buggie! A durable, speedy, and inexpensive vehicle with sufficient cargo capacities. The Buggie is the first vehicle to allow for upgradability, allowing you to expand its capabilities to accommodate your needs.






The Map system has a multitude of new features, including zooming, panning, and full node interaction. You are now able to view and discover minerals by scanning the surrounding area. Use the interactivity of the map to identify what each mineral is with precise locations.

Satellite Dish systems now automatically sweep the area, giving you constant readings of what is on the surface!




The Space Ship can now be accessed with an interactive ramp complete with a traversable interior. Robot wandering has been addressed, and space travel stability has been tirelessly worked on all month to enhance stability and create safeguards.




OK, so this is SUPER rough, but the functionality is there. You can now dock your Ship at your Station, allowing you to travel with the entire Space Station to a new planet!

In fact, we don't even have the UI indications in yet. Just be sure to park within 20 meters of an Airlock for the ship to be considered docked. As we go further, this system will be more fleshed out with a Ship Dock module, interface systems, and docking conformations. For areas like these, our motto is "it's not perfect, it's progress."





Significant efforts have gone into improving all of the multiplayer code throughout the game, with a focus on optimizing, stabilizing, and improving syncing. Every line of multiplayer code has been addressed, refined, and optimized. Our goal is to have rock-solid, predictable multiplayer stability with precise and smooth syncing. Besides our personal testers, we’ve been continuously interacting with the community to search and destroy any and all edge cases that arise.

We still have lots of work to do here, and consider our multiplayer refactor about 60% complete.

Thank you so much for your support! As always, our number one goal is to give you the best game we possibly can, and between your feedback and our efforts, we are accomplishing exactly that.

Going forward, we plan to ramp up on the polish of existing features and to focus on the single-player story and mission set; as we now have the features needed to flesh this out. In the meantime, please enjoy the Fires Of Industry Update!

“Houston, just to go on record, I have a bad feeling about this mission.”

Big additions have gone in this week, along with lots of polish - always working hard to strike that fine line between adding content and hitting those final touches to proven systems. We also went ahead and hammered out some errors reported through our channels from last week's Experimental Build. Special thanks to all those who worked with us to seek and destroy those pesky bugs! And now, onto the additions:

Zer has been remastered and added back into the project this week. Using the planet tech we've matured while working on Proteus 2, Zer is back and better than ever. It's a hot planet, has it's own ecosystem, is tidally locked to the star, and now has underground areas to explore. It's still a bit rough on this Experimental Branch, but it was important to get this up at this stage for further integration and polish.

Lutari and Aziel now have underground areas and more foliage has been detected. More creatures have also been added to both planets as well.

The Corsair (Spaceship) has had a significant amount of polish added: you can now access the interior of the ship. The Corsair now sports a functional ramp, cockpit area, and proper interior collision. All physics has been fixed up so entering and exiting the Corsair no longer has those weird pops/stutters when taking off or entering.

Many new models have been added to give further variety to the Mineral Nodes. These models are more accurate to the real world and each mineral now has a more unique appearance.

Deep Terrain Drill has been added which allows you to unearth minerals from deep underground, eliminating mineral scarcity issues while mining directly from the surface. This fills out the mid game further, as when the minerals found on the surface are all used up the Deep Terrain Drill can pull additional resources from all over the planet to gain you further riches for your crafting needs.

Space Station Travel is ROUGH. We've been finding some strange occurrences in our testing, but want to get it in your hands for sake of consistency and transparency as to where we are in early access development.

Also, our testing has found the new space travel iteration a bit confusing, which is good feedback. Again, space travel with the Corsair, though vastly improved from a technical level, is still very rough. For instance, when arriving at the destination planet the low LOD will disappear, and the high LOD will appear below you. When this occurs you've essentially arrived, we just haven't lined up the LODs just yet. It's tricky math to get this, and we know what we need to do, just couldn't quite get this polish in this week.

It was an important step to get all this content in, which was ambitious inside of one week so many of these systems are a bit rough. But hey! That's what the Experimental Branch is for!!! Please shoot us your feedback if you have a chance to check this out. In the meantime, we're heads down getting all this polished up for our next push. Whenever possible, feel free to ping us on our Official Discord Server.

This past week we focused more on the multiplayer code improvements, primarily on creature syncing and inventory interactions in multiplayer. Our next goal on multiplayer is to improve and stabilize space travel and multiplayer vehicles further.

The Map system received a lot of attention this week, adding sweeping radar radii, improved resource filtering, improved panning, and icon interactivity in the GPS screen. We feel this is a good step for the map feature set, and we will continue building this system out.

We've also added the new Species System to the creature AI, which allows for variants within each species. Creatures will now show size and age, which changes their appearance and abilities. This will give more variety and strategy to the creature combat, as various species will be invulnerable to certain attacks, can now spit acid (or other gunk), and even grow to colossal sizes!

The in-game GUI and HUD received lots of resizing and layout polish. These various subtle adjustments create more space, less clutter, less overlap, and adds clarity.

We've been focused on vastly improving the multiplayer side of things. Lots of work going into loading speed and durability along with chasing down disconnects and memory leaks.

The Map system is also becoming a larger system in the game. What started as a handheld tool in the original EA release has become a full-on system, with compass, north-facing options, zooming, mineral locating, and now has panning. This is still really rough, we'll be doing more work and polish on the map system in the coming weeks.

Added - Panning to map while in Map Mode
Added - Improved Laboratory build animation and FX
Added - Updated Laboratory Build interface to be more consistent with other crafting stations
Added - Additional interaction buttons to Crafting tables for Repair and Fuel Inputs where applicable

Once again I’d like to thank our amazing team for yet another weekly push! This marks six straight months of weekly builds since we took over the project back in November. This way of working has been very beneficial, allowing us to increase the feedback loop with you and make rapid adjustments and improvements to the game. Thank you for your support.

“Stop preparing, you’re always preparing. Just go!”

In this Experimental Build, we added the Buggie from the old Beta Branch tests from last year. Not only did we add the Buggie, which is a super fun early game vehicle, but we added in our first pass Vehicle Upgrade System, which allows the Buggie to take on a number of upgrades similar to the Utility Upgrade system added in the Discovery update.

Our first draft single-player mode Pause Feature was added this week, allowing you to perform a full pause by pressing the ESC key (default bindings). This will pause all systems in the game including creatures and vehicles, allowing you to safely take a break when needed.

Key bindings received some much-needed attention. All the Menu Screens are now definable in the Key Bindings, including the Map Screen. There's still some work to do here, such as have the key binded keys appear in the UI dynamically, but this was the bulk of the work needed in that direction.

The Map now allows North Faces Up or Player Faces Up in the Settings, and the Map received some slight adjustments to the colors to make it easier to read player heading.

Proteus 2 received a huge optimization pass. All plants and large rocks received LODs saving millions of polygons. On average, you should see a 10-40 fps boost while on that planet.
We also updated to the latest Steamworks.Net API and set XInput to Raw Input for all HID Devices, which we hope solves the problems some players have with the "sticky" mouse issue. See more info here: https://www.osirisnewdawn.com/support

Fully craft your own Space Station in low orbit. All station modules can interconnect in any combination, allowing for total flexibility in design and layout.

Each module has its own purpose and features, including crafting, power systems, and storage.

Space Stations are free from the erosion and dangers of the existing planetside in an atmosphere, creating an interesting strategic option to store valuable resources.





Proteus 2 takes advantage of the new technology we’ve been developing that adds various zones and areas into a world. We’ve doubled the amount of world textures, rendered millions of blades of grass, and populated countless new alien foliages - each yielding various resources.









Everything you observe on your adventures can now be discovered. Far more than a simple achievement, the Discovery System actually unlocks all the various resources any found resource will yield. Essentially, each weapon or tool used on a resource may yield a different item, allowing for far more scientific exploration of the solar system and all of its life forms.





This powerful system allows you to find, salvage, repair and commandeer lost structures, vehicles, and droids in the world. This is a great way to acquire a high level object much earlier on, giving you a higher chance of survival and another path towards sustainability.



A small but significant change, mineral harness is now, very much, “a thing”. A key part of gameplay progression, you’ll need to have the right tool for the job as lesser tools simply will not mine a mineral of higher hardness.



Minerals can now be filtered on your updated GPS. This very handy tool, which is now always available in your HUD and no longer attached to your Locator, reads from your surrounding satellites and your own internal suit radar to create detection radii.

This system will show you all the surrounding minerals, their hardness and density, so you can find what you’re looking for in your crafting missions.



The Chisel and Multi Tool are now mid game tools and are no longer starting equipment. The Locator has been changed to the Radar. Many tools have been added to fill out the tool progression. Here’s a few:



We’ve added many new minerals and resources to the game such as Silver, Tin, Quartz, Sulfur, and Uranium.

Ingots have been removed. They felt like too much of a grind mechanic. In their place is Alloys, which are scientific composites of minerals that create new metals and materials to be used for advanced crafting builds.



With the mineral hardness, added and revised tools, the Salvaging system, and the updated GPS filtering, a full and complete economy rebalance has been implemented. Every recipe in the game has now changed to utilize all these new features. Our aim is that this will create a deeper experience, with more meaningful and strategic choices, create emergent crafting scenarios and allow for a far more engaging experience.



The build gates are gone, which we felt was arbitrary and grindy. Instead are structure prerequisites which we feel make more sense and are more meaningful. For instance, if a Utility requires power the build will require a power source prior to building. This creates a natural gameplay progression that is for more free and branching, while at the same time allowing each Structure built to have all the necessary Utilities to function when built.



Replacing the old skill tree, is, uh, the new skill tree! Instead of grindy gates, you now can unlock actual skills or “perks” that boost your abilities.



The story and missions are going through development as well. This update features the opening cinematic of the game, and for the first time gives proper context as to why you are here and what your overall mission is.



Under constant tooling and improvements in the combat system, AI behaviours, and weapon systems. While we are endlessly tweaking all the elements to bring our creatures to life, the most noticeable feature is probably the health and indicator system. Creatures now display how much health they have in your HUD, and show offscreen warnings.



Many new creatures have been added. Mostly small, insect-like creatures lurk around the new biomes of Proteus 2. There is a new predatory creature spotted on Aziel, which likes to attack in groups.



We cut the load screen when entering mines and underground areas, making going in and out of these areas seamless. Gone are the load and data problems, and entering and leaving these areas is simple and fast.

We’ve also taken the opportunity to completely expand the mine and underground system. All the mines are now different and expansive. Be careful, you could get lost down there!



We were not satisfied with the hill and rock climbing, so we addressed it with much improved handling.

3rd person animation also gets an upgrade with more responsive transitions from idle to run.



The entire UI system now has section headers at top clearly indicating what screen you are viewing. Screen space has been optimized with lots of nudging and anchoring of elements to get the most out of the layout.

Inventory gets a fresh icon pass contextually illustrating key elements per selection with a new selection indicator. This makes viewing inventory easier and more meaningful, allowing you to see important information quickly and easily.



Vehicle torque has been vastly improved to allow for vehicles to climb over very rugged terrain. The art has been updated for the GAV, Rover, and Spaceship to give more crisp detail. The Mech has also been vastly improved to traverse hills easier with improved shooting and audio. Hovercraft has revised physics to minimize nose diving into terrain.

We hope you enjoy the Discovery Update as much as we did creating it. We can’t even begin to explain what a joy it’s been finally getting into the game design now that the game has stabilized with the previous round of updates we performed this year. Our goal has always been to make the best near future space survival experience possible, and we sincerely feel that this is a giant leap in that direction.

*Note - These changes are only on the Experimental Branch. To access the Experimental Branch, be sure to select it in your Steam Library. If this app does not appear, please check if this app is hidden in your Library. Experimental Branch changes upgrade to the primary branch monthly.



This week we expanded the Discovery system by yielding a wide variety of resources when harvesting from all plants and creatures. Essentially, depending on the tool or weapon you're using, you will harvest very different items to use in your crafting. Our goal is that this will greatly expand the gameplay possibilities while creating a feeling of scientifically discovering the world around you.

We also added the HookRoach, a dangerous new creature now found on Aziel.

Many of the gun models received a much-needed upgrade and the vehicles also got some love. Notably, we solved the low torque problem and improved the Mech's walking ability. Now all vehicles can really traverse over the most rugged of landscapes, something that will be very helpful to your adventures.
