Locktober Down here in New Zealand, it’s been a couple of long, locked-down months, but the Stationeers team is back and bouncing out an update for you powerheads and balance boffins
Enjoy the improvements to our power system, new tech, architectural additions, furious fixes, tweaks and more, knowing that Stationeers is preparing the ground for surprises in updates soon to come ...

Power On Try out the Omni-directional power transmitter – a wireless battery charger that uses special cells with a lower capacity than regular batteries. Even supertech has its downsides, right?



There’s a line of new doors for base building. Improve your interiors with these attractive portals, as well as a manual hatch that can operate without power, should something go wrong.



Plus we’re giving you better control over power transmission, exposing new logic and new math functions for the transmitter itself.

Fixes We’ve been tightening the bolts and polishing like crazy, removing some long-standing issues like the infamous ‘Infinite Power Exploit'.



Voltage on recursive power networks will now cause input cables on those providers to break. It’s a change that affects AreaPowerControl, StationBattery, Transformers and Wireless power transmitters and receivers. So be warned.

We’ve repaired the sensor lenses for scanning ore. They’re now working better than ever by showing you the entire ore vein and actually help you find ore instead of leading you astray. Happy mining.



We’ve fixed the vacuum room cooling bug, so devices placed in a vacuum in an enclosed room no longer radiate heat – stopping the magical deletion of heat from devices in a completely enclosed room.

That's just a little of the deep-cleaning we'ev been doing. There’s a heap more fixes and tweaks, too, but if you find a bug, you're totally invited to add a ticket to our Jira – we appreciate it massively.

Balance There’s been balance changes to some critical systems, too, like water bottles. Previously you could fill a water bottle with boiling water or cubes of ice and then happily drink it. Now you need to ensure the water is at a reasonable temperature before filling the bottle.

The Winterspawn plant has been nerfed and re-balanced to make it have more "realistic" properties, and breathing hot air now damages your lungs instead of healing them. We just thought we should give everyone … a ‘heads up’ on that.

There’s been a range of other dial-twists, so jump in and take a look.
Happy Stationeering!
