Hello, engineers！

The Producer's message has opened the tip of the next update for you.

(If you haven't checked the video yet, see here:
)

In this announcement, we are bringing the dish menu to you!

Our team has focused our energy on several issues that are of great concern to the engineers, and Dyson Sphere Program will achieve a major update in mid-to-late May.
This won't be a earth-shaking one, but it will certainly remove many obstacles for the engineers' work.



In order to better support the new convenient functions in the future (such as blueprints), we have
(1) Rewritten nearly 10,000 lines of code of the construction system
(2) Split the code of various construction methods
(3) Reconsidered multiple construction previews (Build Preview) collision
(4) Optimized collision detection of large-scale construction.

Our current progress: Mass construction of single buildings



You can construct at intervals, even every three buildings：




As one of our KickStarter Stretch goals, this function will be introed at its basic view in May. Players can use this function to check the power generation and other data of other players' Dyson Spheres. Is it all? How will this system look like? Let's wait and see.



The universe planned by the engineers is actually a part of the entire Milky Way galaxy - every small dot in it represents every star cluster that Icarus has ever landed on! Everyone will participate in the birth of the third level of civilization!



For players who like to 'decorate the universe'!




New concept design:




We have conducted a comprehensive analysis of an savedata that produces 10800 Universe matrix per minute, and located the CPU consumption of each logical part. In the following development step, we will use multithreading to optimize these systems in sequence.



We tested the core code on various types of CPUs and Windows 7 systems to ensure the compatibility of this update.





Thank you for reading. See you at the update!

Welcome, Porters!

If you're new to the world of DEATH STRANDING and looking for some top tips and advice, you've come to the right place!

Firstly, be sure to check out this brilliant tips guide from Eurogamer! Oh... and don't forget to grab the reverse trike when you get to the windfarm!

Last year, we put the spotlight on some of the biggest DEATH STRANDING players we know, giving them the opportunity to share their thoughts, knowledge, tips and advice to new and upcoming players.

With that in mind, we took to Discord, Reddit and Twitter and asked some of you to share a personal piece of advice (spoiler free) for PC players. And guess what? You didn’t disappoint! Check out the responses below…

It’s okay to ask for help. In the beginning this game will be unlike anything you have ever played. You WILL likely get stuck, you WILL likely get frustrated, and you WILL fall down a whole heck of a lot. That's how the game is *trying* to make you feel, frustrated, alone, under-equipped/overworked. You’ll soon understand why. There are several fabulous communities dedicated to this game, just a few clicks away, so if you're ever feeling like you're at wits end, pop into the Discord and chat with some people, share your experiences. Ultimately, that is what this game is about after all: connecting with others.
- Pan1c

Like and get liked! It takes only a second to show to other Porters that their constructions helped you in your adventure. Keep in mind that DEATH STRANDING is an experience where sharing and helping other players is important! Also, if you see it, go for it! DEATH STRANDING is one of the most beautiful open-world experiences. The fact that everything you see can be reached is an amazing opportunity to give yourself some challenges. Can I go on the top of this mountain? YES, YOU CAN! Pack your boots, ropes and ladders and go for it. (Don't forget to immortalize the moment with a picture!)

Take your time. Just like in the real world, rushed actions and abrupt decisions are risky. When making deliveries, be careful and pay close attention to the lovingly detailed world around you. When resting in a private room, put on some music, and read the emails — these help you understand the game world and progress further. After all, DEATH STRANDING is a game that hopes to teach you a vital lesson, if you're just willing to slow down and listen. In a constantly stressed and overworked world, that message is especially valuable.
- Irina

Throughout the game there are 'Preppers' holed up in various locations. Each Prepper has their own story that you can learn more about as you help them out and they will even reward you with valuable items and equipment. Make sure to fully explore the world and find all of the Preppers as some of the rewards impact your gameplay.

Not only is the timefall rain dangerous in DEATH STRANDING, but crossing water is also a regular threat for you and your delivery. But this is where your scanner comes into use. Scan the area before you enter the water. Squares in the colours blue, yellow and red will give you information about the water level. Blue water can be crossed easily, while the yellow markers indicate a deeper water level. Be careful about your balance and stamina when entering. Red indicates the deepest water level and you should avoid that entirely. It will instantly sweep you away.
- German Strands

DEATH STRANDING may look stunning, but don't let the melancholic beauty of Sam's world fool you – it's unforgiving. From dangerous terrain, cargo hungry MULEs, and disturbing BTs, you'll have numerous obstacles between you and your destination. To give yourself an easier and more enjoyable time, focus on the story for the first few chapters. As with many games, it's easy to get lost in side missions and exploration, but, tackling the story will unlock new items that will make Death Stranding's additional content much more enjoyable.

... And don't forget. No matter how tough the obstacles seem to be, keep on keeping on!

Is that the sound of war drums you hear pounding relentlessly, or just your heart? That’s right, Demon Slayers. Polish your armour, sharpen your weapons, and practice your battle cry, because we’re going to war.

The Demonic War Update is coming this summer and of course, all warriors need to prepare for any battle. The intel we’ve gathered for you below contains classified information and serves as a sneak peek into Demonic War and what it will bring.

 


 

Evil never sleeps! Imperial scouts report an imminent attack of monsters from the City of the Demon Gods. Gather up to 10 allies to fight the formidable generals striking terror into the hearts of all in the empire.

 


 

Space and time are terrifying things, made more apparent with the new challenges to be found in the new Elements of Life dungeon, which will be available for players level 69 and above. Brave the floors of elements alone or explore in a group of five.

 


 

Get ready for new adventures! You can now gain additional characteristics with the improved Soul Grid. Visit the guild dungeon to get materials to upgrade soul crystals.

 



 

Treat yourself to a morale boost in the form of a new wardrobe filled with stylish outfits from the most renowned tailors in all the empire! There will be new cosmetic collections containing new apparel, accessories, mounts, and wings. Any spare outfits can be stored in a special wardrobe with a fitting function at any time. Battles shall also be even more dazzling thanks to a technological breakthrough, allowing you to change the animation of your general and special skills.

Keep an eye out for more information coming your way about plot developments, guild training, new additions to stores, and more!

Please note: the list of changes may differ from the final version of patch notes.
