Welcome to Week 152.

This week, we’re completing the Tier 3 tech tree project of having a T3 upgrade for every available T2 bench, with the addition of the Windmill.

This sits between the Tier 2 Mortar & Pestle and the Tier 4 Material Processor.

We’ve also got some hot news on next week’s new item and what it means for some upcoming additions in the weapon and creature categories.

Notable Improvements
  • Added missing meshes for the remaining canteens and oxygen tanks, so all versions are now held in hand correctly
  • Fixed Shadows in the final Nullsector cave as there was some strange ‘artefacting’ going on
  • Bats no longer collide with players and other NPCs. Improved targeting behavior of bats means they should miss the player less often when attacking. Increased chance for bats to break out of their idle flight loop to attack nearby target

Welcome to Week 151.

This week, we’re giving Reinforced Wood a makeover and a new name - Beeswax Wood. This will have the same stats, but a new look and design.

We’ve also added static boss health bars, something we discussed a while back and was important in preparation for some exciting, upcoming content.

Jump in and have a read.

Notable Improvements:
  • Fixed a timeout issue when hosting prospects if the loading took over 60 seconds
  • Fixed an issue that was causing long loading times due to array copying. This was causing unnaturally long load times when hosting or joining games
  • Removed the 180s session timeout that sends players back to the main menu if they took too long to load (was possible to see this on hosts / singleplayer)
  • Fixed a bug where the shield would block poison/miasma damage. Shield now specifically only blocks 'melee' and 'projectile' damage

Welcome to Week 150 - another milestone we’re proud to achieve with you all.

We released the Null Sector last Friday and, as we mentioned in the post, spent the start of this week at our company ‘Re-Orientation’. This has meant we’ve had less than three days this week to spend on the patch, so we have focused on fixes for the Null Sector and improvements from your feedback.

If you missed the post last week we do a full breakdown of the Null Sector here.
The Null Sector is a new har... Read more

The Null Sector is a new hardcore region of the Prometheus Map which requires the New Frontiers Expansion to play.

We’ve also got a bit more insight into what to expect with next week’s Null Sector release, and some details on how you can jump in and test it now on a temporary branch, if you want to help us find any outstanding issues.

Welcome to Week 147.

This week comes with a massive quality-of-life addition: an in-game wiki of items craftable in Icarus as a new section of the Field Guide. This includes where to find them, how to craft them, what to use them for, and what they’re connected to.

We also introduce some new exclusive bobbleheads for owners of Stationeers as a thank-you for supporting the studio.

Plus, we have a small update on where Null Sector is up to and what’s coming next week.

Jump in and have a read.

Notable Improvements:
  • Prospects without local save files are no longer shown on the 'Load' screen. This should fix the issue where players would incorrectly see past multiplayer games in this list without having access to the save file
  • Mounts are now bound to the account that claimed them instead of the specific character. This should fix the issue where players bringing down mounts that were claimed by a differ...
