Beta Branch Note: These changes are currently available on the beta branch. The beta branch is for testing experimental changes and for finding and fixing errors.

This is how you get access to the beta branch (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK):
Right-Click on Avorion in your Steam list, Properties -> Betas -> Select branch 'Beta Branch - Newest Changes & Experimental Features'.

"More general QoL for everyone! Ships now stop when they don't have a salvaging license in a scrapyard, gems now have a purpose, and we've added a 'stealthy' swiftness so that you can tell your ships more safely to fly somewhere with minimal attack problems."

• Salvage AI now stops when its salvaging license runs out
• Gems are now bought by Habitats and Casinos
• Added a "stealthy" swiftness for travel command with very low attack probability but high travel time
• Commodores of escorting ships now properly reduce attack chance for Travel Command
• AI ships can now use armed auto turrets to defend themselves while mining/salvaging
• 'Dock to station', 'peaceful patrol' and 'refine ores' AI states now set the ship to 'passive' instead of 'idle' to avoid spinning
• Asteroids are now guaranteed in scrapyard sectors to avoid mining ships appearing and doing nothing
• Captains can now no longer be Intimidating and Harmless at the same time

"We're buffing the normal delivery missions to make them more worthwhile, and there will be more missions available in general. We're also changing the mine/salvage operation safe mode, and you won't be able to use absolute minimum effort ships in areas where they're obviously outclassed. It's been pointed out to us that sending a 2 slot iron ship to mine for 4h in (1:1) without it being in any danger doesn't feel balanced and we agree. They'll need to be at least a little bit on par with ships in the area or you'll have to use an escort to protect them."

• Doubled base rewards for delivery missions
• Delivery mission bonus reward now scales with location in the galaxy
• Doubled base rewards for resource shortage missions (now 4x the good's price)
• Resource shortage mission bonus reward now scales with location in the galaxy
• Increased number of available bulletin board missions
• Increased likelihood of Tier III captain mission
• Mine Operation's safe mode now reduces attack chance by 90% instead of setting it to flat 0%
• Salvage Operation's safe mode now reduces attack chance by 90% instead of setting it to flat 0%
• Energy drain of energy to shield converter is now static for each rarity
• Increased prices of energy to shield converter upgrades to be more on par with other upgrades
• Increased fluctuation of the amount of goods available through trade contracts
• Reduced reputation gain of a few side missions from +10000 to +7500 to make them more on par with other missions
• Clearing out a pirate sector now grants +3500 reputation to a nearby faction

"Some more UI QoL improvements, enjoy!"

• Added an alternative view for ship weapon overview that doesn't fill out the selection by slot, but by turret
• Added better error messages as to why a captain can't sell something (esp. which good is problematic)
• Readded display of total crew salary
• Escorting ships now additionally show the description of their escorted ships
• Added a config option to enable/disable encyclopedia pop ups
• Improved Translations
• Improved rendering performance of map tag icons when there are many icons

"As always, bug fixes marked with [UBR] are from User Bug Reports, that were submitted through our bug reporter! Thanks for your help and keep it up! :)"

Release Notes - 2021-08-31

Attention, Generals!

Today’s release brings a reworked version of the impending defeat popup on Dominion maps, an update for the “ranking“ tab in Dominion game rounds and a list of bug fixes to Call of War!

We reworked the popup that appears to inform players on Dominion maps when a defeat is impending, to include information that is more valuable to you than just a list of provinces you have not conquered yet. You will be able to see who meets the victory requirements already and until when you have to prevent the defeat, or the opponents win.

The bug fixes of this release fix an issue with wrong travel times in tooltips, an issue that prevented ranged units from immediately opening fire when moving under certain circumstances, make sure that the AI doesn’t send units on long detours when stepping in for a player and many more.

For a complete overview of all changes included in today’s update, please check the detailed release notes on the forums or in the news channel on discord.

We wish you best of luck on the battlefield!

TL;DR version:

• We discuss the future of NPCs in Dark Fracture
  
• A pledge for higher quality: new animations, new models, motion capture, and lipsync
  
• Prologue localization is on the way

One of the challenges of making a first-person horror adventure as an indie developer is not falling into the trap of becoming "just another indie horror on Steam". We believe that the solution relies on two keywords: quality and authenticity. How did we plan to implement them? Let's start explaining from the latter.


Have you ever wondered why the protagonists of many indie first-person horror games never actually meet other human characters during their adventures? The reason is simple: humans are complicated beings to represent digitally. While the appearance and behavior of fantastical creatures can be shaped in any way the developer desires, a human that doesn't behave or appear as such inevitably ends up looking uncanny. That is why most developers choose to introduce characters through diaries, audio logs, radio communications, and so on. However, we have decided to take the risk.

Some time ago, during the Reddit AMA, we revealed that Dark Fracture will not be your typical indie horror and actually has extra characters present as NPCs for our protagonist, Edward, to interact with. A facility like the body farm, albeit unique, needs more than just Edward to be run — which means he won't be the sole employee. Colleagues, however, won't be the only characters Edward will meet - take a look at this mysterious figure that wanders around the compound 👇

While there is still a lot of work to do before we will be able to call Dark Fracture a high-quality game, we can confidently say that the bar has raised significantly since Dark Fracture: Prologue. 3D models and textures are being improved, and we have even started using mocap and lipsync technologies to make animations smoother. Here you can find some examples 👇



Edward's arms have now more realistic decals and those weird-looking stitches on his hand have been replaced with an actual scar


Interactions with items are being fully animated

As earlier announced, Dark Fracture: Prologue is being localized in 7 languages:

• French
  
• Italian
  
• Spanish
  
• Portuguese
  
• German
  
• Russian
  
• Chinese

As the integration of certain alphabets is particularly complicated and the development of the complete version of Dark Fracture takes priority over updating the Prologue, the localization update release will take a couple of months.

Hi everyone !

This update brings the last version of the modding template which we think was causing issue to create mods with custom weapons. It also brings a major change to custom mod loading and should greatly improve the process of connection to a match.

Changelog :

• Updated modding template
  
• Load mod before attempting to connect to a game to prevent bugs occurring when mods wasn't fully loaded
  
• Fixed annoying sound played when using a mod with custom weapons

Let us know if you experienced any issue with this update.

Thank you very much for playing War Dust !
