Hello everyone!
The campaign update is looming in the not-so-distant horizon now, so let’s take a closer look at one of its key ingredients: explorable outposts.
Walk around inside outposts and talk to NPCs to get missions and buy and sell items. The current campaign menu is going to be entirely replaced with real walkable locations.
Outposts are procedurally generated from parts made with the in-game Submarine Editor, which means you can even make your own! Pre-existing custom stations will also continue to work after the campaign update.
Introducing new scripted events that affect you on your journey. Much more complex than the events currently in the game, these will also be made available for modding in .xml.
Different types of outposts each get a distinct look and different contents. The map evolves as you pass through it, and with the campaign update, you can finally see these changes in the outposts you enter.
Physical outposts are possibly the single biggest functional change Barotrauma is going to see during its Early Access period, so we’re both excited and terrified to be so close to releasing them – as minimum viable versions, first, but still – this summer.
Before that, we’re releasing a smaller update with some fixes and molochs! Stay tuned, and read more about outposts on our
