ATLAS Dev Tracker

Aye, we should have posted that the forums were offline. Typically if they go offline, it's because someone is attacking our network, usually both sites simultaneously (most particularly after banwaves ). I usually post these and post on both platforms that they're unavailable (ARK and ATLAS ) but I was away this weekend for family commitments so wasn't around to do so but have reminded the others they can and should too. You'll notice that Chris sent out a tweet that he was looking into both sites, but it was only RT'd from the ARK account

As for the Q&A, we'll be looking to answer those (in some form) during our livestream later this month.

We'll have a stream at the end of the month which will give some more insight into our dev plans going forward, but yes a large update is expected and when we're ready to share more, you'll hear about it.

Nothing in the works any time soon, of course, we have hinted at things in ATLAS' keyart, however, they are a long way away and it's possible those plans could change.

There are some plans in the works for getting additional abilities and will involve the power stones.

There are 76 new islands on the PTR which can be found on the following grids (many existing duplicates have been removed): F3, G2, F14, H2, G14, H14, O2, I8, J8, M14 ,N1, O1, C2, M8, O8, G8, K8, E8, C8, F4, F2, G3, O3, N3, L2, N2, M3, O14, D15, N15, K15, J15, G15, O15, F15, I15, N13, N8
I recommend players wanting to keep day to day track of the PTR as it continues join the Official Discord and opt into the PTR role.

Hey Antony. We've opted not to give an ETA on the next Mega Update yet because, let's be blunt, meeting ETA's when we set them quite far in advance isn't our strongest attribute as a Studio As it draws closer, we'll share more.
Generally speaking, we have a lot we're working on behind the scenes and information we're excited to share with the playerbase soon.

Do you mind giving it a go now?

There are small hitches if a very large structure has been destroyed, but general/more typical cases wouldn't have an impact.

Which network + server are you guys playing on?
