New Space Features

Space Mining, Mining Ship, Interplanetary Teleportation, and more

Space Mining

A groundbreaking new feature has arrived! Space mining will open up many new opportunities, including new skills and professions you can develop.

What exactly is space mining?
Space mining involves extracting valuable materials from asteroids floating in space. These materials can be sold as they are, utilized in crafting, or used to purchase items at Space Mining Terminals available at any space station.

Your ship will need Mining Lasers to start mining in space. As described below, Mining Lasers come in different varieties.

The Howling Mine has received a complete overhaul to become the new central hub for space, filled with vibrant personalities, missions, content, and more. It is also situated in an ideal location near some of the most interesting locations in space.

When you arrive at the Howling Mine Station, you will be able to access the new Space Mining Terminal and transfer over to the brand-new Howling Mine interior. This area has been reimagined and rebuilt from top to bottom, and the new Club Neverdie has its doors wide open as your new party destination!

Among the many catwalks and passageways of this modernized industrial station, you will be able to find a variety of missions suitable for any aspiring asteroid miners, space creature hunters, and even combat pilots:

• The new Gen...

Genesis Star has now publicly released technical information for the upcoming Prospector Mining Ship secured by ten colonists.

The Prospector is an unlimited mining ship with multiple hard points that allow for mounting eight high-powered mining lasers. It has two built-in combat weapons: a Prospector Plasma Turret and a Prospector Laser Turret. The high-powered mining lasers will become available to obtain through crafting in the same release of the Prospector. 

Similar in size to a Privateer, the Prospector can carry up to 50 passengers. It has two repair stations and the possibility of upgrading its Structural Integrity.

Support automatically switches the Ship Deed Token to the Spacecraft Deed when the Prospector is released. You will receive an in-game notification once your ship has bee...

Statement Regarding the Future of Mayhem

Dear Entropians,

We have been closely following the recent discussions and sentiment from many of you regarding the Mayhem event format, notably on the Planet Calypso Forum but in other places too.

It is clear that we need to take the time to look critically at the issues and spend time working on improving it in an effort to mitigate many of the concerns that have been brought forward, notably regarding the economy of items, tokens and the format itself as a medium for progression within the game.

In this process, it is important that we listen carefully to what you all have to say - as there are many different perspectives and great ideas within the playerbase.

We will look more fundamentally at these issues both in the short and long term, to find a sustainable way forward for the long term prosperity of the game and effectively communicate any changes that will come as par...

Technical Showcase of Imported Worlds in Unreal Engine

The following video is a showcase of the result from work we undertook in developing custom convertors and plugins allowing us to easily import the existing game world you all know and recognise into the Unreal Client.

Await Space Mining's New Launch

In order to fine-tune the experience, we are shifting our planned December Space Mining and Howling Mine release to Q1 2025.

We are as eager to share this project as we hope you are to participate in it, but the extra time will allow us to resolve key challenges and introduce this new system in the best way possible. We are committed to delivering a release that meets both your expectations and our vision.

Below is some insight into what will be included in the future release:

Space Mining

The new Space Mining system includes multiple new skills and professions, which will affect your overall effectiveness with the new space mining tools. There will be multiple series of tools, covering a wide range of levels and strengths.

Space Mining is done by finding different types of asteroids in space, and using mounted or attached tools to damage the astero...

Resource Mayhem

The Colonial Administration has tasked the Calypso Defense Force (CDF) with holding a new resource drive to capitalize on the economic boom following the recent asteroid impact. This drive will allow colonists in all major professions to participate in the colony's growth while officially directing these resources where they are most needed.

As before, this allows individual colonists to be included in Colonial Administration supply chains by delivering select materials to CDF officials to unlock reward tiers. Due to the colony's shifting needs, some of the resources required will differ from the latest resource drive earlier this year.

Colonists wishing to participate in the drive are asked to contact the CDF representatives located in Fort Ithaca and Nymphtown for f...

Dear Entropia Community,

I would like to share some important updates on the development of Entropia and our journey to deliver an even more immersive and dynamic experience. We’ve made substantial progress across several technical fronts, and I wanted to provide a clear picture of where we stand today and what you can expect in the near future.

Technical Progress:

Development towards the release of the Entropia Unreal Engine experience is accelerating. Rather than taking a complete overhaul approach from the ground up, we’ve shifted to a more gradual, iterative process. We are now separating development into two distinct projects: the Unreal Engine client and the backend. These can be developed independently, which allows us to deliver tangible improvements to you much sooner than our previous approach would have permitted.

Key Benefits of This Approach:

...

We are super excited to introduce a feature that heralds the debut of the Entropia Universe AI President System. In a future release, we are starting with two new AI-driven Non-Player Characters (NPCs) crafted to enrich the experience for newcomers. These intelligent, human-like, and interactive NPCs will guide users through some of the fundamental aspects of Entropia Universe, offering essential hints and personalized guidance to integrate newcomers seamlessly into the universe.

Welcome to this graphics update overview for the 18.1.0 version update in the Q1 release 2024. You will find before and after images of various textures, the new look of multiple Entropia Universe armors, updated creatures, and the major graphical changes!

Some environmental and character art elements started to feel old, so we updated a wide range of art assets in Entropia Universe. We have upgraded a large collection of elements in the game, including armors, terrain textures, creatures, vegetation, and general lighting improvements, with modern industry quality standards.

We have been focusing on updating terrain textures, creatures, and character armor. All these assets have been crafted from the ground up with new models and textures.

THE NEW HUD, ACTION BAR, UI EDIT MODE, AND ICON MANAGEMENT

Let's take a look at the most significant UI changes we plan to release in the UI update in February 2024. Here, you will find an image of the new HUD and a step-by-step guide to easily navigate the improved Action bar, UI Edit Mode, and Icon Management!

The updated Heads-up Display (HUD)

We kept an updated look and functionality in mind when updating and designing the new HUD for Entropia Universe. We decluttered the HUD for easier readability, made it a more attractive a...

2024 User Interface Update

The Entropia Universe User Interface (UI) is an extensively discussed topic within the MindArk team and our valued community. In our continuous quest to enhance the Entropia Universe gaming experience, we’ve embarked on a mission to resume and complete the UI update! This initiative stems from game performance tests and the valuable community feedback we’ve gathered since the initial start of the update process.

The old UI elements are a major factor in the Frames Per Second (FPS) drop linked to graphic lag issues. The decision to update the UI was rooted in improving the performance, achieving cohesive design, and resolving navigational challenges presented by diverse outdated window designs. We also recognized a need for visual enhancement, particularly in unifying the UI’...

Announcing Triton Industries Shares, Home of the Sand King

In December 2023, Triton Industries will expand Entropia Exchange with 500.000 Triton Industries Shares! The Entropia Exchange allows participants to acquire shares via virtual companies and receive revenue in the form of dividends from estates controlled by those companies. Triton Industries is now offering shares on Triton Island, a small island northeast of Amethera on planet Calypso, also known by Entropians as the “Sand King Island”!

You can access Triton Island by teleporting to Jameson's Reach or Naval Station Triton. The Oasis is located in the middle of the desert landscape, populated by the creature class Rextelum. The Rextelum was previously thought to be extinct before Governor Jameson's expedition found a healthy population located on the Island. This creature class is currently the largest arthropod known to science, and it is speculated that its sheer size keeps it safe fro...

Cosmetic Mayhem Token

The upcoming Halloween Mayhem 2023 event will introduce new Cosmetic Mayhem Tokens into Entropia Universe! The Cosmetic Mayhem Tokens can be used to obtain exclusive cosmetic items such as clothes, masks, and more. Compared to previous years, cosmetic items will now be available through the Mayhem Vendor. 

The Mayhem Vendor will update over time with new cosmetics. The Cosmetic Mayhem Tokens are untradeable through Entropia Universe Auction and by player-to-player trade, but you can freely trade the items you acquire from the Mayhem Vendor.

There will be five obtainable cosmetic tokens: Cosmetic Mayhem Token, Bronze Cosmetic Mayhem Token, Silver Cosmetic Mayhem Token, Gold Cosmetic Mayhem Token, and Redulite Cosmetic Mayhem Token.

How will you get these Cosmetic Mayhem Tokens? By participating in Entropia Universe Mayhem missions, you can expect to receive Cosmetic Mayhem Tokens when reaching certain miss...

Introducing TWEN Token

In the upcoming Entropia Universe version update, we're introducing the TWEN Token, lootable from any creature across Entropia Universe!

With the TWEN Tokens, you can buy TWEN Edition items! You'll be able to use the TWEN Token to buy these items from a TWEN Trader! One TWEN Trader will be available on each planet, which offers different planet-specific TWEN items. TWEN Tokens and TWEN Edition items bought from the TWEN Trader are tradeable. 

Items from the TWEN Token Traders are in limited supply and on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Throughout the remaining TWEN Event, you will be able to continue enjoying the unique robot spawns. Let's continue celebrating Entropia Universe 20th anniversary!!

Nanocube Changes

In an upcoming Version Update several changes are being made to Nanocubes, outlined below.
 

• Nanocubes can no longer be purchased directly from the Trade Terminal.
• Nanocubes are now obtained by using the new Recycle tab in the Trade Terminal interface.
• Most items and resources can be recycled into Nanocubes, with a few exceptions: items sold at the Trade Terminal, non-tradeable items, and Shrapnel.
• Recycled items generate a stack of Nanocubes with a value equivalent to the item’s Trade Terminal value.
• Nanocubes can now be listed at auction.

These changes should result in a more healthy and interdependent economy, which will benefit hunters, miners, and crafters alike.
