An Important Update Notice

Post
Dear engineers,

We were just astonished to find that the power generation and power consumption of the facilities remained unchanged after a 'quick upgrade'. It is a bug and we are going to fix it soon.

We're sorry to inform that a decline in the electric power supply should be expected after the bug fix, and it may result in large-scale blackouts. Please understand that Centrebrain executes no half measures. So, Engineers! Please prepare your power supply plan and develop the power grid in advance to overcome the upcoming Centrebrain's firmware update.

We will also be adding a function for you to see how the savedata is adjusted after the game version is updated.

Thank you for understanding and support!

Dyson Sphere Program Patch Notes 0.6.17.5827

Hi Engineers!

Here comes our first update in March. And, an important functional update is also coming soon!

  • Improved some UI interactive SFX.
Changes:
  • Data reduction of Dyson shell. The length of archive data generated by Dyson shell is reduced by 50% ~ 60%, and the save/load time is reduced by 20% ~ 30%.

  • Now you can storage/pick f...

Setting up the scale of the universe - Dev Log#3

Post
How's going, engineers!

Good day engineers! First of all, as you know we are a Chinese team, and we just celebrated our new year – so we want to wish you all a wonderful Year of the Ox!

A meme is popular among the Chinese communities saying that "I already forget what my job was in 2020 after the Chinese New Years holidays." Don't worry, we didn't forget! We remember and care about everything you care about - the roadmap, localizations, etc. While doing some sorting on our work, we are bringing a new development log here for you!

Wish our engineers a good start and best luck in 2021!

Devblog 21 is here!

Post
    Kacper on Steam - Thread - Direct



Calling all mechanics!
New devblog, coming through! This time, we want to focus on a few things that are coming up in the not-too-distant future and also show a few new things that are in the works for the next survival chapter.





Cablebot
Watch out! There are more bots incoming in the next chapter:
While traveling deep underground, you might encounter the cablebots: they travel in big numbers and love digging holes with their cable clippers. No one knows why the cablebots are that deep in the first place yet; perhaps you will find the answer to this mystery in a future update. 
Until then, you had best prep some chests with potatoes and dust off that spudgun; you’re going to need it.

PINNED: Dyson Sphere Program FAQ Collection

Post
    Gamera Games on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Q: How advanced is the Early Access version? How long is the estimated gameplay time?

A: Don't worry: the EA version will have a lot of content – the game will just grow from there. A single playthrough takes between 50 and 100 hours to complete – and that's if you focus on building the Dyson sphere. If you sneak off to explore the universe, spend time optimizing the factory layout , etc., it may take you longer than that.

Q: Are many bugs and glitches to be expected?

A: Obviously, we can't guarantee a 100% bug-free experience (the game is still in development, so it might be rough around the edges in some aspects), but we're working really hard to release the most polished version possible. If you find a bug, you can report to us and we will fix it as soon as possible.

Q: Are there enemies in the game?
A: Icarus does not have an enemy in the current version, but it's a feature we plan to implement in the future. We are a... Read more

Q：我是笔记本独显玩家，为什么游戏进去这么卡？

A：请先确认电脑是否符合最低配置需求，如满足，可能为笔记本在运行游戏时调用了核显。可以按照如下步骤操作：

Calling all Mechanics!
2020 is coming to a close and we’re here to end it on a good note with a special devblog! Here are some of the things we’ve been working on since the release of Scrap Mechanic’s Survival Mode earlier this year.

To start, we have been hard at work on the next chapter and we will be announcing its official name at a later date. But until then, here are some of the things we managed to liberate from the Scrap HQ’s secret drawing board!

Update 0.4.8 is here!

Post
    Kacper on Steam - Thread - Direct


Hi Mechanics!

We are excited to finally drop this update!
This update will lay out some of the groundwork for the upcoming new survival chapter that we are working on right now. In this update we did a ton of bug fixes and improvements. We also added a few new fun things to survival mode like the Beacon and the Logbook! We know this is not a huge update. But rest assured that a big survival update is in the works with a lot of new content and it’s shaping up to become something amazing!


Beacon
Beacon is a very useful new interactive part that will help you set navigation waypoints in the world. This will make exploration much easier. It can now be crafted in the Craftbot!



Logbook
The Logbook can now be unlocked in the crashed ship.
It will store all quests that the mechanics will find in the world. It also lets... Read more

Patch 0.4.8 Test! (Updated November 11)

Post
    Kacper on Steam - Thread - Direct


Hi Mechanics!

This test turned in to a pretty long one as you might have noticed. We ended up doing a lot of small fixes. But also because we wanted to add a few more things for testing before we drop it.
Today the 30th of October we finally added the new Beacon interactive part that we’ve been teasing on our Twitter. The Beacon will help you set navigation waypoints in the world to make exploration much easier. It can now be crafted in the Craftbot! Some other highlights are fixes to the UI and main menu that we didn’t find time to add for the survival release. There is still more work to be done to the UI but we are getting there. We also fixed a bigger issue where the frame rate dropped for no clear reason for some players after playing longer sessions in survival. That should not happen anymore.
We hope to move... Read more
