Calling all Mechanics!
We are back! After spending the last few months in the content mines, it's time for us to report on our latest progress. While we’d love to show off details from the next chapter, It’s getting increasingly harder to do so without spoilers, but rest assured: you will get to see all of it on release.
That’s why we decided to do a bot reveal special for this devblog instead, so here’s a peek at just some of the new bots:










Yellow Totebot
Get ready to re-adjust your base walls or crank your vehicle’s engine a bit higher when you see this new bot jumping into the scene!
Originally designed as a fully autonomous power trowel, the Yellow Totebot has since gone renegade. Now, it stomps its way across the planet, eager to flatten any Mechanic it sees, no matter how many ceilings and floors it has to smash in the process.









Blue Totebot
Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water…Originally designed for offshore drilling, the Blue Totebot has since decided to become an underwater torpedo instead. To make matters worse, it can also move fast enough on land to catch up with any Mechanics that aggravate it, so watch where you dive!









Red Totebot
We’ve teased this clanker before, but we’ve never shown him in action until now. Originally designed to clear away mine shafts using explosives, some of the Red Totebots have since wandered up to the surface.
When they encounter a Mechanic, they will ignite their payload before rushing at their target, and they won’t stop until they’ve reduced their target (or anything standing in their way) to smithereens.








Green Tapebot 
You’ve already seen this little bot on our Twitter. Once, this unassuming clanker would only bubble wrap fruits and veggies, until the latest firmware update made it run amok. 
Armed with a roll of weaponized bubble plastic, it might not pack much of a punch by himself, but a bunch of them can ruin any Mechanic’s day!









Yellow Tapebot
An elegant bot for a civilized age, the Yellow Tapebot was perfectly harmless, designed to keep everything neat and tidy in storages by painting labels with its special four-color ink.
Following the disastrous firmware update that made it run amok, however, this clanker has found a new purpose: now, it uses the same sorting ink to hurt and slow down any Mechanic it sees!










Grow labs 
Ruin runs are great, but we’ve been working hard on populating the game world with additional cool places to explore and loot during the course of your Survival mode adventure.
One of those places are the underground Grow labs! Fit to burst with Green and Yellow Tapebots, these little dungeons offer exciting combat and some cool plunder at the end for those that venture inside them.







Ore Prospector
Get more out of your ore with this latest addition to the game, the Ore Prospector: a machine designed both for Mechanics that love to build automated crafting chains, as well as those that like to do things manually.
With its help, you will be able to filter the finely ground gravel produced by the Ore Crusher, in order to retrieve rare materials like gold and more!







New Glass
We haven’t just been working on Scrap Mechanic’s content. After introducing the new and improved lighting system we mentioned in the last devblog, our elite team of graphics engineers have been working on updating the game’s visuals according to modern standards.
This time, we’re excited to introduce our newest glass shader, which allows in-game glass to shine and distort like the real thing, so your buildings, vehicles and other creations can look better than ever before. And that’s just one of the graphical updates we’ve got in the works!






General rebalance and Item Schematics
We have also been working hard on rebalancing Survival Mode’s gameplay; specifically, the crafting recipes and how items are obtained during the course of the game, so the gameplay can flow better than ever before.
Our latest addition to Scrap Mechanic’s features are Schematics. When found, these collectible items will allow your Craftbots to create additional items.
Furthermore, we’ve been focusing on changing the way farming raids work, while reworking the existing hunger and hydration bars to be less annoying. More on these later!







Woc Outfit
Introducing the wackiest outfit we’ve made (so far): the Woc outfit, complete with a corncob themed backpack!
It might not be up to profession regulation standards, but it sure is a welcome change from all that stuffy workwear. 
What do you think? Will you rock this outfit?  Let us know.




Next Chapter update

At the risk of sounding like a broken bot: while we still don’t have an exact release date for the next chapter, we are still aiming for this year. 
It’s worth mentioning that the next chapter has turned into a behemoth of an update, with a ton of new content. We remain confident that it will be worth the wait. We know that it can be frustrating and boring, but we have to make sure it’s great.

That’s it for this devblog, Mechanics! Stay tuned for the next one!

Attention Officers!

Welcome to the 8th in our series of newsletters dedicated entirely to community creations and contributions to Ready or Not, we’ll be focusing on popular, particularly well made, and unique mods to augment your gameplay!

We apologize for the extended hiatus caused by a combination of sickness and being incredibly busy with other projects.

Community Spotlight – Mods of the last few Months

---

1.) Browning Auto-5 - By Ballistique

Starting off strong, we have a modification from Ballsitique’s prodigious collection for the B1301 shotgun in the form of the Browning Auto-5, the first production semi-automatic shotgun. A legendary and enduring weapon that will help any SWAT officer with a healthy respect for history bring safety and stability to Los Suenos.

2.) K2C1 - By MarkHood

Following up on the Howa from an earlier newsletter in the category of underrepresented countries of origin, we have the K2C1, the service rifle of the South Korean military. Though still based on AR architecture, the K2 uses a piston recoil system in lieu of the traditional direct impingement system.

The K2C1 replaces the MK16

3.) Sig Sauer MCX SPEAR - By Markhood

Coming back to North American firearms, we have the Sig MCX Spear, the civilian and LEO market version of the brand new US Military XM7 rifle. This mod specifically brings us that 5.56 variation of the Spear, taking the spot of the GA416

4.) Victory Imports Auto Center Remaster - SWAT 4 map - by Aerostatic

Keeping at what they do best, Aerostatic brings us another refresh of a classic SWAT 4 map, Victory Imports. With all of the trappings of a high-tier custom map, selectable spawns, integrated map, and variable spawn points per mission type [Raid and Barricaded Suspects.], Aero continues to not disappoint with their update of classic maps..

The only thing to make sure of is that the author recommends a AI rebalancing for their map to perform at its’ fullest.

5.) Cedar Creek Nuclear Power Plant / de_nuke - TheReaperr

Coming in with a different kind of classic, Reap brings the community a port of a game that is even more of a classic than SWAT 4. Cedar Creek provides even the most experienced team with a challenge consisting of large, long sightlines as well as just the sheer size of the map.

---

6.) Swat and Suspect AI Overhaul - ArmeT

Last but very much not least, we have an AI-focused mod from the author ArmeT. Aside from the AI mod we had mentioned before that was tailored specifically towards the custom maps produced by Reap, ArrmeT’s mod changes every single aspect of both hostile and friendly AI to make them more dynamic and dangerous in many situations.

Though some of the changes may not be to every player's taste, it is most certainly worth a try. Just please be aware that AI packs do require a manual download process, please follow the instructions on the mod page.

Closing

Going forward we can’t wait to see what else the community brings to the table as we update the game and give modders more functionality to play with and improve their own works.

Greetings Adventurers!

We’re rapidly approaching the launch date for our next DLC, The Wolf Wars, and Update 1.1: The Black Forge! In our last Dev Diary, we took the opportunity to reveal both zones that’ll be introduced with 1.1, along with their respective bosses. Today we’ll look at some of the new features coming to Across the Obelisk, as well as some tweaks to existing systems within the game!



Sometimes you just need to know how that last round went, other times, you’ll be scratching your head to figure out what the boss just did. Our latest addition is sure to delight both novice and veteran players alike and should help you dissect each turn with clarity so that you can create better strategies next time!

We’ve heard the requests and we are ready to deliver! In Update 1.1 we’ll be adding improvements to those seeking to move away from keyboard and mouse, in favor of Steam-supported gamepads! Combat should be remarkably improved on controllers/gamepads, along with full functionality across the menus! There are still further improvements to be made in later patches, so please be sure to let us know what you think; we’ll be looking for your feedback to help refine and polish this feature to be intuitive and smooth for anyone wanting to play with a gamepad.



Also coming with Update 1.1 is our rework of the Weekly Challenge system! In case you’ve never tried our Weekly challenges, the concept is simple: you take a fixed party of heroes on a custom "seeded" run designed to test your capabilities! Each Weekly Challenge will have its own specific theme, with special modifiers and corruptions unique to each week’s event!



Completing each challenge will now reward you with exclusive cardbacks that you can’t earn elsewhere in the game! Though, don't worry if you miss a cardback you like, we’ll be sure to rotate cardbacks from previous weeks into additional Weekly Challenges later on!



That’s all for this Dev Diary! In the next, we will be looking in-depth into the additions coming with the Wolf Wars DLC!

So, what are you waiting for? Join us in Not For Broadcast and experience the power of live television broadcasting like never before. Grab your favourite cup of brew and get ready to take the broadcasting world by storm!
