NEWS ON THE COMMERCE UPDATE

We've been preparing for the Commerce Update and reading your feedback, and we'll be opening a new permanent Beta Branch to test all the changes. All new upcoming updates, including Commerce, will be going to the new branch, while the main branch will stay with a stable version up until all the changes are fully tested and approved.

What it means in practice is that official servers will not be wiped in October and you'll be able to play there normally. Instead, the new branch will be launched on the same date (still TBA) with all the changes we're planning for the Commerce Update. You'll be able to freely choose which version you want to play on at any point and both will fully work with dynamic tile burns and map numbers.

Our intention with this approach is to be able to test and improve on all the core ch... Read more

CHANGELOG

- Added Camelop Walker.

FIXES

- Fixed whole lakes being highlighted when looking.
- Fixed some water lake visual issues.
- Fixed not being able to build in some lava map areas.

CAMELOP WALKER



We heard the feedback that collecting lava could be a better process. Introducing: The Camelop Walker, named after an extinct genus of camels, which acts as a pump to help with farming lava (and water!). It can hold very large amounts of liquids, but doesn't have a proper deck, so cannot be spawned on.

Pumping water is straightforward and relatively safe, but lava requires a smart approach and planning, as this fragile Walker can be damaged by it unlike most others. While it will be a challenge to overcome for those who want to acquire very larg... Read more

Our goal with these Community Updates is to post them every month. If there's anything you want us to cover in particular, let us know!

To kick off gamescom, Last Oasis will be on sale for 34% off from now until August 31st, 10 PM PDT.

Development Updates

We’ve been keeping an eye on how the last two content pushes have been received, and wanted to let you know that we’re going to continue with these weekly releases! These won’t take away from all the work being done on the Commerce Patch, and we still plan on releasing that update sometime in October.

“How are you going to address the zerg issue / make it easier for solo players / etc” is a question we’ve gotten a ton recently. Giving a straightforward answer is tough, since our approach is going to be a bit more indirect for right now. We want to add content that can be used that will benefit players that aren’t in larger clans, and make the game easier for them in the long-ru... Read more

We didn’t want to keep you waiting for a full patch, so we’re doing a small “content push” to introduce the Cobra Walker! One of the questions we got on our community question form was Do you plan on adding specialized walkers in the future?, and we think this push answers it. The Cobra Walker is not the only Walker with a specific purpose we plan on adding in the coming months!

Patch Notes

• Added Cobra Walker - a giant walking defense tower.
  
• Fixed Rupu Slings attacking friendly players when private.
  
• Fixed grappling hook collision issues on walkers.
  
• Updated engine to UE 4.25. Various tweaks and improvements like performance, visuals, etc. (the reason for large size).
