We are back and bad to the bone with the next episode of The Metro Marathon: Bad Karma. Steph has cut her way through the population of Volga and is heading back to the church for some justice. Better watch out Silantius!

Getting really good loot usually takes a bit of work... With Update 2.0, we're making it a little easier for you, as the Loot Transporter is a sure way to know that there's some really great stuff to be captured! The transporter sometimes travels with pirates and is responsible for transporting the loot of their raids. You can imagine what he has in his bags! Since he has a lot to haul, there was unfortunately no room on his ship for turrets, so he makes a relatively quick getaway as soon as you attack him. The lucky ones among you who manage to destroy his ship despite the restricted time limit will be rewarded with a bunch of valuable loot!

Who has never wrecked a ship? Nobody, probably. In such a case, the well-known reconstruction token is usually the first thing you need to get the destroyed ship ready to go again - as long as you have a token at that time.
We would like to make this feature less complicated and more comprehensible, so it should be easier to understand for Avorion beginners in the future.
The tokens will no longer exist starting with Update 2.0, instead we are implementing a new Towing Service at Repair Docks! In the future you will be able to simply fly to a Repair Dock and ask them to pick up the broken ship. The ship will then be brought to you and made ready to use (read: quickly cobbled together) again for a small price, so that you can immediately continue flying! Some additional repairs might be necessary, though. Good thing you’re already at a Repair Dock.
If you don't feel like looking for a Repair Dock first, you can purchase a Reconstruction Kit. With those you can make your ship ready to fly again on the (destruction) spot. You’ll be immediately ready to go, but will need a few more repairs.

Sometimes when scrolling through the gallery you stumble on a creation that is just amazing. A really talented person must have put tons of hours into this. But who are these people, and what is their approach when building?

Today we caught up with Martysama - who is regarded one of the top builders in the community and hear what advice he would give new players, and how he gets his ideas.

What’s your name?
Hi, my real name is Filip Martinez and my handle in game and discord is the one and only… Martysama.

How old are you and what do you do for a living?
I’m 30 years old (the best years of ones life, I’d say) and I’m a high school teacher. My area of expertise is biology, but I love all the science branches alike.

How long have you played Trailmakers and on which platform?
I’ve been playing Trailmakers for a bit over two and a half years now on PC. Not to brag, but I also passed 1000 hours of playtime mark this spring and I’m currently at 1238 hours… at the same time I’m proud of that fact and something is telling me I’ve been spending more time in game than I intended.

What makes you play Trailmakers?
Aside from simple cars, other vehicles and devices I was struggling to build something good at first. Even though I was objectively bad at building, I kept trying and I could see myself getting progressively better at it. A big motivation for continuing were the weekly challenges and seeing peoples positive reactions to the things I built. Today what I enjoy most is challenging myself and refining ideas and concepts I had before but did not have the skill to do them justice and using mods to make maps.

Which of your creations are you most proud of and why?
I’d say there is one creation and one map that take the cake. The creation is my two-part warrior mech. The reason for my pride is that I was able to make a Two-part walker that has an awesome walking cycle, is self-balanced and can controllably fly.

Torso of the mech is here and the legs here.



The map I’m proud of is Trailmakers city. It’s a full-blown city made from scrappy models with Riddicolases awesome trailedit mod. I’m currently working on an expansion for that map that I’ll release as a separate map, where I’ll be adding a huge jungle and a big battlebot arena. Based on what I made so far, I think that will be my best map for a long time, and best of all, it will include Trailmakers city as a small part of it.

Here is the link to the city.



A lot of people say: I don’t know what to build?
How do you get your ideas?

Creativity is my guide. I rarely build common stuff like a cars or regular boats, and if I do, I always try to do it with a twist. My advice for people who don’t know what to build is to start from a small part like: I want to build a machine gun, or a rocket, or a new suspension setup, or wall-crawling mechanism and after that build their creation around that idea. Also, something I find fun to do is search around the map for cool places I can build something into, some of my examples for that would be (a house that hangs on the edge of a cliff, cybernetic parts for a big snowman, big hangar doors that make pipes into your personal warehouses, a mine cart that can slide on the rails around the map, etc.)

What is your best tip for someone who just downloaded the game and wants to get started?
I suggest you try the different game modes to get a hang of building. Alternately you can browse the Workshop for awesome creations to have fun with, either alone, or with friends (no building skill required). That might motivate you to do those other stuff and learn to build yourself.

Anything you want to add - feature requests or anything?
I’ve suggested quite a few things in the Discord that seen to be quite popular. If I had to choose one to be added to the game, that would be my Fabricator block idea – A spawner block that would allow you to prebuild a low complexity creation you could spawn. Like we can do with beachballs or creates on their respective spawners.

That’s it, hope you enjoyed the answers and creations by Martysama. A big thank you to you Filip, for making the most out of Trailmakers and for kindly participate in this interview. A more than deserved spot for a true Trailmakers Builder. Stay tuned for more Builder Showcases in the future!

Istariana vilseriol, comrades!

In years of development, we've been always dreaming about one thing: Motion. A neat thing that makes characters to feel more lively, backgrounds to be more natural, overall experience to be more improved while reading. Today, we want to share with you behind the scenes video about our work we made in past month.
So please, watch this video and enjoy. (Everything is in Japanese language at this moment.)



We got more stuff coming up, so do stick around with us.
You are also more than welcome to join us on our Discord server where you can talk with other citizens of Rughzenhaide and keep an eye out on more cool stuff.

Thank you and have a very nice day.

The new wall stickers have changed the way we play the Hotel Renovator demo. They add color and character to our room and bathroom designs and we all love to use them!

Here’s a little tutorial on how to apply and remove the decals from your walls:










How are you liking the new stickers?
Share your designs and show us yourself! Use the #HotelRenovator hashtag so we can find them easily.
