Hello Galactic Survivalists!

The year has flown by again and Christmas is just around the corner. We have put together a small gift package in the last few weeks, which we are giving to you as a test version in the Experimental Update 1.12!

Not only can you try out a completely new five-part campaign for your avatar's home faction, the UCH, but this faction also gets a completely new series of NPC models that will from now on represent the ‘people of the Milky Way’ in the game! In addition, we have included the first version of a racing event. You can find the ‘HeKaTon Cup’ by visiting the Arkenian Republic's home world. Just stop by the Hurrz Hoverbikes Store on Arkenia Prime or fly directly to the moon.

We are looking forward to your best times - and of course to seeing how you like the UCH campaign!

Of course, there are even more goodies. Starting with local energy barriers and energy sidewalks that can be activated in the tech tree, to a new ... Read more

Do you have a HUD marker appearing like this ?:

You can also open the sector Map & using the "Search System" button type in this to at least find it to at least find it:
Forra Sytem

If the HUD marker doesn't appear for you even after confirming you haven't touched F6 to cycle through the different HUD modes send me the save before you progress to [email protected] so I can see if we can find anything & mention this thread so I know it's from you.

So, this is now required if you want to run the game from the launcher directly and not the
steam play button

Yes.

I'm not familiar with this method tbh.

There is no other platform number for you to use.
What can you try is:
- Get your steamid: Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Blueprints the folder here should be a long number which is your steamid
- Go to the save that is not appearing & open the players folder & a .ply file might have your steam name or something else instead or your steamid number. Try renaming this with your steamid number as well as any folder within the Players folder & see if it appears then.

For that you can try adding a new line to the Empyrion.props file & you will need to to launch the game from root by double clicking on EmpyrionLauncher.exe:
- In the Empyrion root directory create a copy of the “Empyrion_Example.props” & rename it to just “Empyrion.props”
- Open it in notepad++ & add this on a new line & save the file

[DebugOverrides]
ForceGamePlatform = 2

- then with steam running start the game again with EmpyrionLauncher.exe from the root directory (you can create a shortcut for this & have it on your desktop)

This is only needed for the client, not for the Dedicated Server!

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

First of all, we want to thank you very much for your feedback that reached us during the Experimental Phase of Update 1.11.8 through our various feedback channels.

As you may have already experienced in the testing phase or at least seen in the blogs, in addition to numerous bug fixes and the completion of the Dark Faction Scenario Story Campaign, the new "Freeze & Board" gameplay for the Dark Faction DLC expansion is another central focus of this update.

In brief: The Dark Faction has gained the ability to disable your capital and small vessels as well as hover vessels. If you are in a disabled capital vessel, a boarding crew will be teleported over to you. If you don't take them out, they can cause some serious damage to the interior of your ship!

How exactly this works is explained in the following video:

For sure they are optional if you prefer to turn them off check the difficulty options to toggle mass & volume off or back on at any time it's up to you.

For new save before you create a save check the "Difficulty Options" window or for current saves from the "Load Game" list select the save then click on "Difficulty" on the right side to edit the saves difficulty options.

At the top of the patch notes there is a message about this (This is due to some changes we have made under the hood so to speak more info about that will be coming soon in the near future):

Note:
For any users who happen to use steamCMD with Empyrion & launch the game from root with EmpyrionLauncher.exe you will need to add a new line to the Empyrion.props file:
- In the Empyrion root directory create a copy of the “Empyrion_Example.props” & rename it to just “Empyrion.props”
- Open it in notepad & add this on a new line & save the file

Hello Galactic Survivalists!
First of all, we would like to apologize for the fact that some of the contents of the update described earlier this year are still pending. We are working hard on the final adjustments.

However, in order not to delay some necessary bug fixes and technical upgrades any longer, we have packed these and all previously completed content together and put together a small server scenario creativity package for you with version 1.11.7, which is now available.

It includes numerous new game objects for Survival and Creative mode (consoles, tables, large trees and various types of lamps for outdoor and indoor areas) as well as an improvement to the gravity generators, which makes it easier for you to create a walkable gravity ring, for example.

On the big topic of multiplayer, improvements have been made to how 'SharedData', i.e. the content of custom scenarios that are not included in the game installation by default, are handled. In ... Read more
