New update IS compatible with pre-update campaign!

Comment
    Dynamoon on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hi! In principle, we always try to make updates as backwards compatible as possible. However, when there are big changes, it's possible they won't be applied to existing campaigns, and trying to run a very old save, perhaps dating back a few versions instead of just one, there is a real risk that it won't work quite as well as it should. We think it's important to give players the chance to continue their campaigns even though we are in early access, but as the game is constantly changing, we can't guarantee 100% compatibility at all times. In this case, happy to hear your old campaign is working mostly okay with the new update, and I hope you're enjoying the new content!

Hi! As we are so close to the update now, it would not be fruitful to launch an investigation into this immediately. However, this issue was indeed meant to be fixed quite some time ago as I understand, so if it still happens after the next update, please write again in this thread. I'll be sure to forward all reports then!

Update preview: Thunder Under The Ice

Post


Hello everyone!

The next Barotrauma update is on its way, to be released next week. Look forward to...

New missions Cargo missions have been overhauled so cargo now spawns on shelves and in special Unit Load Devices. If you have none of those on your sub, a small amount of cargo will spawn on the floor. The more you can carry, the more money you will make.

Escort missions of various kinds have been added: transport NPCs safely from one place to another, or move dangerous prisoners between outposts, or even pose as a transport vessel to flush out plotting terrorists.

Pirate missions pit you against an enemy submarine, manned by hostile NPCs, that you need to defeat.

Starting with this update, you can also have two missions per round to complete more objectives in one go.... Read more

Barotrauma's birthdaywishes

Thank you, everyone! I've just been reading comments from this weekend, and the response to the birhtday post has been heart-warming <3

Two years of Early Access

Post


The next Barotrauma update is getting closer, but before we get into the upcoming new content, we wanted to write a bit about something else. Tomorrow marks the 2nd anniversary of our Steam release, and looking back at the past year, we’re once again both amazed and grateful to see how far we’ve gotten and how many new submariners have joined us on our journey. Thank you to everyone who’s been with us and helped the game grow into what it is today!

We feel the game and the community have taken a big leap forwards since the last anniversary: we’ve introduced some big, long-awaited features such as the explorable outposts, caves, the Abyss monsters from the legacy version, and too many smaller improvements and additions to count. Our player base has also more than doubled in size since last June!

In our new blog post we talk a... Read more

That's quite unnecessary as a great many people who have seen my profile here still "he" me just the same! I am not very consistent in correcting those people, either. Just happened to do that now :)

*She :) and yes, I'd say it's hard to be sure without seeing the actual work whether there will be copyright issues or not.

This is our end-user licence agreement[github.com] which tells you what you can do with the game's code; that should be a good starting point to figure what's generally allowed and what is not. Outside the EULA, the rule of thumb is that as long as what you're doing is not 1.) making money off someone else's work or 2.) piracy, or promoting piracy, which again rips off someone else's work, you're probably fine. You should also note that the Barotrauma name and logo are copyrighted (see our store page, right under "system requirements", for legal lines).

For more details, it would be easiest to email us at ... Read more

Fix patch for Embrace the Abyss

Post


Hello everyone!

We've just released a patch to address issues in the latest update. Notably, issues with submarine speed and maintain position, joining modded servers and voice chat quality should now be fixed. Please be sure to update your game, and see the full changelog below.

A note about updating mods: Unfortunately, there may still be some issues with mods. If a mod fails to update automatically, please head to the in-game Steam Workshop menu and click "reinstall" next to the mod in question. If players who try to join your server get errors about mismatching mods, then you as the host may also need to reinstall mods in this way to make sure they're up to date.

Changes:
- Adjusted autopilot logic to make it better at keeping the sub afloat when there's extra water o... Read more

Ironically, Jovian Radiation makes the game go into EASY MODE

Thanks for this :'D

And sorry about this oversight (for that's what it is). I just wanted to let you know this thread was shared with the rest of our team and I am sure we will discuss how to make the radiation do what it's meant to do.

How to pronounce Kastrull

Comment
    Dynamoon on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Kastrull is in fact Swedish and means a cooking pot (or it may be some other things too but this is what we intended). It is pronounced like this: https://forvo.com/word/kastrull/

As it appears in the game though, in the meaning of a submarine found on a multinational moon of the future, I think you have licence to pronounce it as you like ;)

Sneak peek: Abyss creatures

Hello everyone!

Thank you for joining our free event last week. It was wonderful to see so many of you – we had record numbers of people online playing Barotrauma!

This week, it’s time to look at some more upcoming content additions. Read more on our blog[barotraumagame.com], and let us know what you think about…

Endworm and Charybdis The time has finally come to reintroduce two of the most sorely missed deep sea creatures that were in the game as placeholders in our earlier days in development.

Games looks nice and all but no remote play together?

Comment
    Dynamoon on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hey-hey, let's not call anyone names or jump to any conclusions :)

To answer OP's question: no, sadly, this is not an option. I am not even entirely sure whether that's a developer/publisher/platform question, either – so I am also somewhat doubtful regarding our future plans for this sort of deal. Sorry that I can't be of more help! For what it's worth, I would like to second what Shiro says: You do not necessarily need to enter this game with friends, as we have friendly people around. If you're interested in taking a closer look at that playerbase to inform your decision, please feel free to stop by our official Discord: discord.gg/undertow

Game needs and extensive guide and wiki

Comment
    Dynamoon on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Both wikis are made by fans, and both were to a degree facilitated by us; the new one on barotraumagame.com is also owned by us, so it gets less ads and sadly also less search engine love. But we try :)

We're currently working on ways of improving the experience a new player has when trying to get into the game, but you're right that Barotrauma has a lot of moving parts and we've got out work cut out for us in that department. If you have the time and energy to join in editing the wiki, you are very welcome! In any event, we're hoping to make information more easily findable, in the game and outside it.

Upcoming update - question about shrinking map

Comment
    Dynamoon on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hi! The shrinking of the map is indeed optional, and as we are still firmly in early access, everything in the game is still subject to change – so while it is not being initially released as gradeable and we do not at present have plans for making it so, your feedback, once you get to play the feature in practice, will be very welcome as always!

From our side of things, the apprehension surrounding the topic seems somewhat surprising, even though we knew it was coming... so we urge you to try it and see for yourself, because we don't think it's actually that harsh :) but as it became apparent not everyone was feeling excited about this in any good way, we decided it should be optional from the start. We don't like telling our players exactly how you should play!
