Calling all Survivors!

The day has arrived! The 3 new CCPs (Content Creator Packs) have finally arrived, and we're excited to welcome you aboard. The packs will be available separately, or in a "All New In" bundle! You'll be able to change how you play the game with the "Martian Express Pack" created by veteran modders Lucian "LukeH" Hada and Sylvain "Silva" Maupetit. The "Martian Express Pack" allows you to move your colonists and resources between stations facilitating access to far away domes and remote resource deposits. Other outside manned buildings will also be buildable near stations without needing a dome. You can also enjoy the 10 new terrestrial building skins incl... Read more

tksolway said: Is it actually being released today? Steam still says a date is coming soon.

It'll be out at 6pm CEST, so in about 35 min!  

Sca7ha said: That's it? Very nice.

Can you please send the patch notes as well?

The patch notes will be posted later today!  

The train is leaving the station soon, and you are invited! Join the party and check out this sneak peek of the new CCP (Content Creator Pack) Martian Express Pack! PartyElite has collaborated with us to show you the Pros and Cons of Using Trains, Building and Maintaining your Train Network. And we have another video from PartyElite about the up-coming Content Creator Packs, this time focusing on the Future Contemporary Cosmetic Pack (made by Teerapat "Quad Rioters" Kitjawijit), and Revelation Radio. All aboard the train on the 28th of April!


 

tksolway said: Are we also getting a patch to deal with some of the lingering bugs? The prefabs disappearing on the elevator is a big one.

I know that there are some bug fixes coming as well, but I'm not 100% sure if that particular one will be addressed. Patch notes will be posted tomorrow though, so that'll give you more details!

You could attach here your saved game so the gameplay experts could look into that.

But having two will still cause this problem!  

I'm sure you are right there, except that a grid does extend through a building (a dome I assume you mean?).

Back when I had time to play this game, I always made one connected grid only.  

Do you have a split power grid perhaps?  

Derp Throat said: Paradox still have your money so they see no problem.

Since the new game version in September Abstraction have released 4 hotfixes and 2 content update/major patches. All for free.

No problem!  

shpenka said: I've created a bug report, but files uploading stuck an 100%. Could you please delete that report as I cannot delete it myself (I don't see an option to delete).

Thanks, I have deleted the post as requested. Hopefully you;'ll be able to upload the files in the next post  

shpenka said: Actually, I was saying about the saves WITH the B&B content (I have full DLC package). I have not progressed much - only 32 sols, yet this is not the first time when the saves are not being loaded. Only the earliest several saves can be loaded. Anyway, the more I play on one map the more annoying it becomes every time saves are not loaded. For this reason I mostly don't play but wait the game to be fixed finally to play without problem and not worrying that the next day I might need to start over.
No problem, I will create a bug report.

shpenka said: saves are broken again. at least on GOG version... all hours of play are lost..

@shpenka

Can you report an issue for this in the bug forum and attach the saves that are not working? I have checked several old saves that do not have B&B content and are 414 Sols in and they appear to be working.  

A reminder of forum rules - no swearing!

And please don't quote posts that break any rule - just report them. 2 such posts deleted.

Thanks folks.  

HatefulBlock7441 said: Does this update also fix the game freezing and crashing at every auto save on PS5? After about 500 sols it just won't save anymore.

We cannot be sure if the issue has been completely fixed, however, an issue was identified with the auto-save system and it may rectify the problem!

If you continue to experience this issue, please report it again in the forums, I would also recommend exporting your save-game to USB, zip it up and attach it to the bug report. It will greatly help us in identifying what is happening.

Thanks,

seldon said: Is there any way to roll the game back to the version before below and beyond? Most PDX games allow it but I don't see an option.

There is not, I'm sorry. That option is usually only for PDS games, not ones like this where PI is only the publisher.  

@SheepMaiden I didn't see your comment, and we are aware of the landing pad issue.
