The latest experimental build has Steam Workshop support added for Custom Maps!

You can use the level editor to upload to steam workshop in the new Workshop Window.



Create a level and use the Export Window to export a level bundle. Then use the workshop window to create a new workshop item, select the bundle to use and set the name / description / etc and Submit Item to upload it.

If you are subscribed to any workshop items, it will find them on startup and they should just be present in the Play Custom Map screen.

It's all a bit rough, but should work, let me know if there's any issues!

Hey guys,
Tomorrow we'll be dropping the beta of the game from 10/12-10/16 at 12 AM MDT. If you have any bugs, glitches, etc to report, please email our contact support from our website or the game page.

-Thank you
The Phoenix Limit Team

Hello dear Regain Earth community & pioneers,

Today we released a regular update for Regain Earth: First Strike.


As always and first of all, we would like to thank our great beta testers very much for giving us feedback and giving us great new ideas. That's what drives the game's development!

This time especially to Martin "Archonaut" S. for the feedback on Regain Earth!
Also like last week, big thanks to Ole "nak0taz" and Fabian "DemexxTV" for playing Regain Earth on Twitch [/b]!

Also great thanks to Mathieu from https://unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/Rimaye.Std?count=20&sortBy=effectiveDate&sortDir=DESC&start=0, who has a great Teleporting FX Asset for UE4 and answered some questions which helps on visual effects.

• New Enemy Type: Scarecrows

• Added new Enemy Scarecrow People, which have super powers to slow down Player. And they have a surprise for you! Fear them!
  
• Added that players can be brought back from the dead at the end of the round. The player, however, is not directly alive. Instead all dead players will be revivable again on round start. This allows teammates to revive their dead teammates every time the round starts. Be careful and revive your dead teammates! Each death again triggers loose points for death.
  
• Increased range to pick up weapons
  
• AI tweaked a bit in general. For example robot AI is not waiting anymore when first time sees a player.
  
• Implemented AI ability sytestem: Ai can now have different abilities / skills. Attack special abilities (super powers or similar), abilities when Ai first see the player, abilities when Ai hear the player shooting, etc. Scarecrows are the first enemy to use this, but more are to come.

• Tweaked scores a bit, also because new scarecrow enemy type.

• Fix on bug prevents showing the right round number for clients on round 1

• Fixed several smaller bugs

• Explosions
  
• New Enemies and new Weapon Models
  
• What our beta tester and YOU will tell me is absolutely most important :-)

Stay tuned for next updates and keep giving us feedback, bug reports and your wishes and ideas. Thanks a lot!

Sebastian aka. TheFlow

Hey everyone!

Hopefully you have all been staying safe in these strange times. The Goblins team have been hiding away in our warrens cooking up our biggest new update, we had some major face-lifts done to our entire UI and have added in world exploration by sending goblin treks! You will need to get all three of the faction halls built to unlock the feature, but hopefully you enjoy it when you get there. Look forward to your feedback on discord.

We are now moving very close to beta on the game, we are still missing one or 2 main features, the biggest ones are diplomacy and heroes and then it’s a matter of adding the last content and bug fixing until we’re happy with it to go gold.

It has been a very long journey and we’re now nearing the end finally. Thank you all again for your gracious support and passion for our game we love so much.

Features:
-Brand new look, with new UI throughout the game.
-Added Treks to the game, available by Building a War Hall, Faith Hall and Trade Hall.
-Goblins assigned to a trek will not be able to change jobs in the village so be careful not to send too many key workers to distant lands.
-Juju can be gathered at Holy Sites and then used to request gods spells for Raids and Trades.
-New Gods have been added into the game with many of the old gods powers finally being implemented.
-New goblin voice lines and talent added, as well as some new music tracks and building SFX.
-Control scheme has been changed slightly for mouse movement and rotation.
-Temples can now be aligned to gods to garner favor with them over time.
-Goblins under attack by other goblins can now retaliate.
-Lots of new art including some new smoke and fire effects as well as a new Kindler building mesh.
-Goblin message log has had more detail added.
-Added new camera key bindings, can be changed in options menu.
Balancing:
-Mines now have 12 'attach points' instead of just 4.
-Firewood delivery can now be toggled on or off per building.

Bug Fixes:
-Fixes for the goblin job prioritization not ignoring some hauling tasks even when marked to be ignored.
-Time to open the load/save menu increased through loading on a separate thread.
-Story moment triggers moved about so that the seasonal ones are more varied and don't pop during enemy attacks.
-Fix for slowdown that was occurring on re-balancing resources when spawning a goblin/assigning jobs.
-Many fixes found to increase our game frame time reducing CPU bottle necking.
-Updating pathing distance cache to reuse code and fixing caching issue.
-Fixed snow tessellation/jaggies on tile edges.
-Fixing modal behavior on save/load UI.
-Fix for iron/stone mines stealing a metric tonne of frame time.
-Removed the soft-lock when returning from credits.
-Back button in story creation will now go to previous story step
-Fix for goblin getting stuck in a be lazy loop when they Laziness and Tiredness levels are both capped at max.
-Crash fix for goblin death.
-Water shader fixes for Frog ponds and some buildings.
-Fix for hiding goblins to get reset correctly on loading a save file.
-Pathfinding fixes for enemies and goblins.
-Fix for camera snapping issue when dropping off a ledge between hexes.

Known Issues:
-Deleted older save versions that we can no longer support.
-Known issue with adding a king to a trek and having an immortal king due to the age condition not being updated.

• Changed: Increased the threshold for clicking and releasing slightly to prevent having a "sweet spot" on the trigger where it will spam inputs.
  
  
• Added: Global Right Click binding. This will allow you to right click with the binding on either hand.
  
  
• Added: Global Middle Click binding. This will allow you to middle click with the binding on either hand.
  
  
• Added: Global Right Click Modifier binding. This will let you right click with the modifier held on either hand.
  
  
• Added: Global Middle Click Modifier binding. This will let you middle click with the modifier held on either hand.

• Fixed: "Automatic Mouse Control" toggle is no longer inverted.

• Added: You can now right click in window captures! Doing so will create another overlay capturing the right click menu, and allowing you to interact with it as normal. This system also has the side effect of creating secondary windows for things suchs as Spotify, where they use "windows" for their Minimize, Maximize, etc buttons. This means all UI of apps like this should now render and be interactable with window captures!
  
  
• Added: "Cursor Smoothing" is now something that is on by default. This will smooth your cursor out when your hand is 'stationary,' but will not add any smoothing when your hand is moving. The idea is that you will be able to double click easier, or select things on smaller areas of the screen easier, due to the cursor not having the small micromovements of your hand.

• Fixed: Using "Force High Quality Overlays" should no longer force supersampling to 1.0 in the SteamVR Settings if you've already got a custom supersampling value set. This was only intended to happen if you had been using "Auto" supersampling prior to turning on the option.
  
  
• Fixed: Window captures should not longer randomly swap from whatever they're capturing. (Things like swapping to the SteamVR view, or swapping to the windows task bar.)
  
  
• Fixed: Window Settings toolbar should no longer teleport between overlays if both hands are hovering over two different overlays. It will prioritize whatever the latest overlay to be hovered over is. (Left hand hits overlay first, itll go to that, then if the right hand hits another, itll go to that, etc.)

Hello, it's Roboron again! It is my pleasure to announce that Simutrans 122 has been released today (just two days after 121 finally came to Steam) and right now is already available on Steam. No need to wait for months!

CHG: fixed vehicle costs are now booked as running costs at the begin of a month, also convoi details changed to accomodate
CHG: a server will pause without clients if '-pause' is set on the command line
ADD: freight type filter on line window
CHG: speedup of map generation by reorganising and multithreading lake code
ADD: defining overlapping climate height limits will generate maps with climate patches at these heights
FIX: (extremly old bug) after removing a house on a slope the world height grid was not restored
FIX: factory extension during city growth could no cope with more than one supplier for two goods
ADD: scripted tools (initial patch by THLeaderH)
ADD: Humidity based climates (originally from kireon green) Attention, winter snowline set temperature at sea level, so important!
ADD: (FrankP) happy signs for system fonts
ADD: (ranran) new GUI element routebar
FIX: space.w added in container not space.h for vertical distance
