Today we would like to give you an update on what we are doing in the Bunker. For the past few weeks, hard work was done to eliminate most of the awkward issues. All the Players appreciated improvements and massive dev codes changes. That is why our review rate on Steam is increasing and a big THANK YOU for the commitment. We really appreciate it.
We still progressing with the Road Map schedule and here are the hottest "to do" list:
- new save system with 3 slots to improve the gameplay; - new demo version with all the mechanics based on the Early Access build; - intro and audio system under development; - improving the AI in general; - fixing the issues posted by Players; - balancing the gameplay based on what Players suggested;
Together we have spent a lot of time testing, playing, analyzing, improving. You know what does it mean - Bunker can really become one of the best simulator games out there!
If anyone will encounter any problem feel free to join our Discord server:
As a reminder, we use Public Beta so that people who are blocked by specific bugs may try to get their run back on track as soon as possible, However, as it takes time to properly QA new versions, we can't guarantee they are 100% stable. Therefore, if you do not have any of the issue listed below, you should just wait for the next patch instead.
Note: This Public Beta does not have a Mac version (not to worry, Mac will get the patch at the same time)
How to switch to Public Beta branch?
Simply go to your steam library, right click on Solasta and select properties. Then, go to the BETAS tab and select publicbeta from the drop down menu, and then restart Steam.

The work on the next update is going great. There is going to be a focus on biology for this update.
Introducing a bio lab allowing you to grow bacteria wich is basicly the first form of life! You'll be able to create algae farms, recolt filtered water from air and lakes, once you reached the correct terraformation level.
There's going to be much more, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek!
Can you spot all the new items in this clip ?!
The next update is planned for December!
Remember you can follow us to stay informed about the game & the studio :
Humans have all learned to use the Aleph in certain basic aspects: - Exposure to the Aleph provides greater resistance, physical strength and, in some cases, the development of special skills or the strengthening of existing ones. Because of that, the elite soldiers carry small containers of Aleph that enable them to fight for hours without becoming fatigued at all. - The enormous energy potential of the Aleph also serves to improve the performance of the nuclear fuel of some of the vehicles and facilities. The Aleph is even used as a plasma substitute in large-caliber weapons.
The locals can't do much to expel the humans from their dying planet. They left their aggressive traits behind thousands of years ago and, despite their vast knowledge of the Aleph, they never used it to defend themselves or to attack. Only a few, led by Harec, resist the invader precariously.
They lack resources and must steal everything they need from the different human factions, which are usually busy fighting among themselves. Harec trusts that he can inspire his countrymen by example, but the truth is that the conditions in which they fight are highly precarious and the possibility that they are all killed is very high. He and his men hide in a sub-orbital fragment of the Broken Planet. The situation does not look good and doesn't seem like it will improve.
Harec has a plan and a list of names: They are unique human warriors, legendary mercenaries who came to the Broken Planet to make their fortune, but who now might have reasons to change sides and fight with him. All Harec has to do is find them and convince them to join him.

Now we are on the 11th DevBlog. Last time we took a look at thebase and showed you the mysterious stranger that will be waiting for you there. In this DevBlog it's time to select the mission. Today we'll take a look at the mission table.
Lets get into it!
One problem that bothered many about Insurmountable was the low variation of the three consecutive mountains. The new base now offers us the opportunity to better address this problem. Much more possibilities than just preparing for a total of three ascents.
In addition to the big climbs of the three mountains, there are also a lot of side missions. We don't want to give too much away, but these missions won't just be about reaching the summit. You can take a look what the selection looks like:
The Map is divided in three regions, each with one major mountain and several side missions. The player needs to play a few side missions in each region before they can start climbing in the next one The player himself decides at the mission table which mission he wants to pursue next.
The individual missions vary much more strongly than the three Mountains in the old version. Now you can clearly see what weather conditions or other modifiers await you before the mission. This way you can better prepare for the respective mission and who knows, maybe you'll find new allies in some of the side missions. The mountains in the new missions are characterized by an increased random map generation.
Thanks for reading our DevBlog.
If you want to support us and be part of the community feel free to follow us on Twitter or join our Discord. There you can also send us your ideas, suggestions and wishes for the game or discuss these ideas with the other members. Now that we've selected a mission, in the next Dev Blog we'll look at how you as a player prepare for your mission and what else there is to discover in the base.
We hope you can overcome the insurmountable in your life. Have a nice day!
I needed a weapon, something that would keep those Fume Toads away from me. From the first few scraps of metal I came across in the Safe House and a solid stick I found in the forest, I crafted a Spear that maybe wasn’t looking great, but I wouldn’t want to end up on the sharp end of it. It was time to go outside and try it out.

The Conqueror’s City belongs to the Tyrant, and he won’t give up control without fighting a battle for the ages. His evil reign has spread like a plague across the Borderlands, and the Conqueror’s City is the last bastion left to seize for those Houses and Alliances who seek to put an end to his rule in Season IX: Tyranny.
On November 22, Stage 5: Imperial Dawn will begin, and the Conqueror’s City can be reclaimed from the Tyrant and his rebel armies. Before you can hope to take down this threat, you’ll need to know a few things first.
How do you participate in the Territory War for the Conqueror’s City?
Territory Wars take place every Tuesday and Saturday, and are a great way for you and your allies to increase your holdings and gain more Prestige. During Stage 5 (November 22-December 6), there will be four Territory Wars.
Before you can attack the Conqueror’s City, you must first take one of the Conqueror’s City Gates (and have enough Prestige to declare war on them). Your House or Alliance must also already possess one other fief (in addition to the Gate) in the Borderlands before you can begin this battle, so make sure you’ve expanded your empire. If a House has captured one of the four surrounding gates of the city and meets the criteria, they will then be able to declare war on the Conqueror’s City, attempt to recover it from the Tyrant, and ward off other contenders.
When will the victors be decided?
The House or Alliance that claims and holds the Conqueror’s City at the end of Stage 5 will be its sole owners until the Territory War reset, just before the start of Season X. Past victors will still be honoured in the future through a ‘Hall Of Fame’ on the official Conqueror’s Blade website.
What are the Conqueror’s City rewards for House and Alliance members and leaders?
Members of the House and Alliance which win the Conqueror’s City will receive a special Player Title. Prizes for claiming dominion over the Conqueror’s City are larger than for ordinary fiefs, and those rewards will be revealed soon.
Rewards will be calculated once the final battles have ended, and distributed after that — stay tuned to the official website for more information.
Read up on more important information on this crucial battle for the Conqueror’s City here.
The theme for the 6th Creative Showcase is OPEN THEME. Over the last ~3 months, we have seen so many awesome builds from all of you, we'd love to put the reins into your hands for this one. You have the choice to submit whatever creative endeavor you think is your best, or the one deserving to be shown off most.
Creative Showcase Duration
In order to allow you to be the most creative you can be, we will stretch this one's submission period until December 6th, giving you two weeks to submit! Likewise, we'll stretch voting over the weekend, as well.
Taking part in the creative Showcase is as easy as uploading your screenshot to Steam and linking it in a reply to this post. Alternatively, you can submit your entry on our Discord.
Rules
The Team at Toukana decides on an interesting Theme, which may or may not work in conjunction with new or recent content. The announcement happens on a Friday in the afternoon CET. From there, you get a week or two to enter your screenshot of a creative world that adheres to the announced Theme. After the submission period ends on monday, voting will commence and remain open until friday afternoon CET. On Friday, winners and a new theme will be announced as well.
Everyone gets to vote. When voting, you get three votes, worth 5 Points, 3 Points, and 1 Point respectively. After Voting concludes, we will add up all points and whoever has gotten the most points will win. In case of a tie, the highest amount of 5 Point votes will decide. If those tie as well, the higher amount of 3 Point votes will decide the winner. If those tie as well, the 1 Point votes decide. If all numbers match, it will be a confirmed Tie.

Where do I vote!?
Voting is done via this Google Form! (We do not track emails or google accounts!)
Voting is simple. You have a total of three votes, each with a different weight. Each entry can receive one of your votes max, and each weight of vote (5, 3, 1 points) can only be given once.
The winner will be determined by the total amount of points every entry got. In case of a tie, we will compare who has more 5 point votes (3 point votes if those tie as well, and 1 point votes if THOSE tie as well). Should both entries receive the same amount of votes of each weight, they will share the tied place.
