This week, we've continued working through our bug list and added a few new features to some existing systems to improve usability, readability, and overall performance.

First up, we've added a Droids tab to the GPS (Map) screen that allows you to command your droids from anywhere on the planet!



In addition to their new "Send to Position" command that allows you to direct them to another location on the map, we've improved their pathfinding AI and given them the ability to unstick themselves when they get confused on this alien terrain. The Sentry droid also has an update to its target acquisition code that will prevent it from attempting to aim and fire through other obstacles when selecting its target.



We were also able to make an added art pass on the Mines and Hives of Proteus. Here's a sneak peek - you'll need to brave the depths to see more!

"No! I will not turn the beat around!"

Hello Explorers! Since last week's Fires of Industry Update we have turned our attention to polishing and fixing existing content and features. To do this we began with an update to the Player Feedback page by adding pagination and more fields to help create a better connection with you as we charge through the issues you find and report (which we appreciate!).

Next we compiled every issue/bug/concern across all our channels into our project management software (we love Zoho!) and organized each issue by priority. Then we got right to work starting with the most severe bugs first. We currently have a list of about 400 bugs and was able to squash about 120 of them this week!

The majority of these issues came from three fronts: multiplayer stability, lost robots, and space ship issues.


Many of the Spaceship issues ultimately relate to handling and controls. We've always viewed the spaceship control as prototype and were happy to get down to update it. Our goal is to have realistic yet intuitive control for the spaceship during each of the various flight modes. We're hoping with your feedback will get it spot on.

The bulk of the issues and problems occurred in Hover mode so we prioritize this first. We added an orbit cam, mouse controls rotation (yaw), WASD controls 2D movement, and throttle increase lifts and lowers the vehicle's altitude. Lift high enough and the ship switches into Flight mode, which also now includes orbit cam.

Check it out!.....we made GIFS!!!!!


This allows you to get a better view while landing.


Move the mouse left and right to turn the craft while in Hover.


Your assigned left and right input will move the vehicle laterally.


This will help you back away form obstacles, trees, buildings, or anything else in your way.


OK, just two more, showing orbit cam while in flight or in space. This allows you to view much more of the world and plan your approach, landing site, or Space Station.





Of course, this is all work in progress and snuck into the build just late last night, so please let us know how we're doing on the new Spaceship controls! In the meantime, let's move onto the change list!

So, as many of you have probably figured out by now, we're huge sci fi movie buffs. Much of the inspiration from OND came from The Martian (when it was a book), Interstellar, Gravity, and Prometheus. But a lot of our team is older (myself the most ancient) so we constantly reference Alien, Aliens, Total Recall (Schwarzenegger version), Starship Troopers, Enemy Mine, Mission To Mars, Red Planet, Sunshine, and Event Horizon. But no matter what, you just can't beat a great Space Balls quote!

*This is me, my way of saying "nice to meet you!" ːsteamhappyː
**Would you like to meet the rest of the team? Some can be a little shy, but if we can give them a nice warm welcome I'm sure we can get them to come out and say hi!

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!

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.



Added - Navigation Module allows Space Station and passengers to travel between Zer and Proteus 2
Added - Zer Planet

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
Added - Warp unstuck command to dev console

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
