Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to Empyrion Galactic Survival version 1.10 Experimental!

In this update for you to test, we've added locale missions for each starter playfield (5x5 = 25 in total) to offer more variation to the early gameplay experience. Although these missions are fully optional and do not (yet) relate to the main storyline they will be shedding some early light on a few important story backgrounds in the Empyrion universe.

The introduction of the location missions is accompanied by a major maintenance of the main missions to make the final adjustment to the new game start environments. To achieve this, we have implemented numerous fixes for improved story progression and several bug fixes for reported issues (see full changelog below)

In addition to the mission updates, we've expanded the game universe by updating the existing faction homeworlds and adding new ones. Thanks to our community contributors, these updates come with... Read more

Hi Galactic Survivalists!


Included in this update are a few additions that are designed to help streamline your building process.

First up is the new hotkey for the Building Helper menu (N): Using CTRL + A will automatically grow the selection box for a blueprint part until it encompasses all connected blocks. This will also work as a multi-select!

Check out this video:


In addition there is also now a quick-cloning-mirroring functionality (first iteration) and other refinements for the blueprint part handling, eg. by adding additional buttons to organize them more easily.

Stay tuned for more updates, and happy building!

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to Experimental Version 1.9.10! What does it have in store for you? Let’s do a quick summary.

We have added two new methods for FPS optimization (AI and Occlusion Culling) and there is also a long-desired convenience update in the form of the control panel hotkeys. Furthermore, and for the first time, we added a directional visual hit display in the player's field of view! Various VFX have also been finalized for status effects, e.g. radiation, temperatures and poisoning. For all creatives, there are new options for block management, as well as in the PDA. For all builders, there is now an option to automatically correct the pivot point.

Please have a look at the changelog below for more detailed information.

Last but not least, we would like to thank all contributors of bases and ships - a larger batch of your submissions from the public Builders Forum has been added again with this update (to be continued!).

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to the public release of update 1.9!

What could be more natural than to check your wardrobe and bring it up to scratch, while days are getting colder outside - not only on Ningues. ;) How you do it in the real world is up to you. For Empyrion, we've done it for you.

For version 1.9, we've not only visually reworked the basic customizable armor models for male and female (including the underwear), but also the models of the associated jetpack versions. We have even gone one step further: Not only have the variants for your avatars that you can select from the start screen been reworked, but new ones have been added as well! Along with that, we also made minor adjustments to the motion controller and the use of the jetpack.

As a second important point, there are some important changes in the area of handguns, where there was a lot of overlap: it wasn't clear what the difference was between a "Rifle T1", "Rifle T2", "P... Read more

• Weapon balance, Shotgun2 + SMG buff, rayspread fixed across automatic weapons

• Procedural weapon movements don't work when multiple players are in proximity to each other

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

We are going into the last experimental round of version 1.9. If no more major issues are found, the general release will take place in the middle of next week!

Of course we will continue to work on the reported issues. :)
In the current update, some of your reported issues have already been fixed.

In addition to additional balancing work on weapon stats, various graphic effects have also been reworked: the energy beam of the survival tool, muzzle flashes and propulsion beams, e.g. on the jetpack.

We are looking forward to your active support and feedback in this experimental phase!

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

The second Experimental Phase for Update 1.9 is here! Besides improvements and bugfixes, there are some new things that we ask you to put through their paces.

We have adjusted the AI in two areas. First, AI factions can now fight other AI factions directly when they meet in a playfield.Secondly, we have created a first technical measure that AI fighters can now actively call their comrades for help. We will continue to expand this in the future.

As a second important point, there are some important changes in the area of handheld weapons, where there was a lot of overlap: It was not clear what was the difference between a "Rifle T1", "Rifle T2", "Pulse Rifles T1 and T2" and a "Laser Rifle", apart from the pure damage. For this reason, the previous model of Tiers, where there was a "T1" and a "T2" version for multiple weapons, was discarded.

Now, each weapon has a distinct behavior that sets it apart from the others. We al... Read more
