Hello everyone!

We've just released a small patch to address the most urgent issues in yesterday's update. Here is the list of changes:

- Fixed crashing on startup on some versions of macOS.
- Fixed GameAnalytics consent prompt going outside the window on small resolutions and/or large text sizes.
- Fixed Kastrull's drone sometimes spawning inside the sub client-side in multiplayer.
- Fixed opening the settings menu resetting the game window, which caused screen capture software to stop capturing the window.
- Fixed certain mods that don't configure the "you are here" circle sprite for the status monitors causing crashes.
- Fixed abilities that give simultaneous skill gain (minor in mechanics, once upon a time in europa, apprenticeship) not giving the extra skill points.
- Fixed deconstructor not being able to put the items into containers in the output slots.

Thank you for all the comments, feedback and well-wishes since yesterday! Wi... Read more

Hello everyone!

We have just released a patch to fix issues in the latest update. Notably, character resetting between multiplayer campaign rounds and issues with job assignment have been addressed. See the full list of changes below and please be sure to update your game to be able to host and join servers!


v0.15.13.0

Changes:
- Remove spawnpoint-based job assignment logic. Previously, the number of job-specific spawnpoints in the sub affected how many players the server would try to assign to a given job, which would often lead to players not getting the job they wanted to.
- Made the captain job optional (i.e. if no-one has captain in their preferences, no-one gets forced to play as one).
- Improvements to the Korean localization.
- Added rewards to side objective missions (... Read more

Hello everyone!

One of the most frequently heard wishes from our players has been to make humanoid characters look nicer. As such, we’re very happy to introduce a complete character overhaul as part of the next update.

New ragdoll and animations
We’ve revisited the proportions and movements of the bodies of human characters to achieve a more natural look. However, the basic ragdoll system remains the same, so expect some comical movements as always!

New faces, hairstyles and accessories
We’re replacing all character faces in the game with new and improved ones. Hair and facial hair styles as well as accessories and costumes have also been remade to fit the new style.

New customization options
We’re adding a skin shader system to allow you to customize your character’s co... Read more

Hello everyone!

One of the most exciting additions in the next major update is going to be the brand new talent system. Talents are class-specific buffs and extra skills that you will be able to unlock with experience points gained from completing missions in the campaign.

Talents serve to make the roles of different classes stand out better while allowing you to shape your characters more to your liking. They also make characters more valuable to the crew because of their new, more specialized proficiencies – in some cases, choosing the right talents can even allow you to craft previously uncraftable items!

• Engineers get talents to specialize in crafting, research and exploration, or the core engineer tasks aboard the sub.
  
• Mechanics can specialize in ...
