Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to a new phase in Experimental Version 1.8! First of all, once again our heartfelt thanks to you for all the feedback and bug reports. Thanks to your efforts we are slowly approaching the end of the testing phase for version 1.8!

If all goes well, we plan to release the final version in mid-June ;)

The current version includes - besides a lot of bugfixes - numerous changes and adjustments for the start tutorial and the game start environment on the four starter moons. As always, you can read the details in the changelog below.

A note: To test the changed starting fields and tutorial content, it is necessary to start a new game with the current Experimental III version.

As always: Please post your feedback on the individual focus topics in the designated forum threads so that we don't miss any of your feedback.
Experimental feedback threads can be found here:

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to Experimental phase 2!

If you have already participated in the test version, you will see a lot of changes in the list below, which we were able to implement thanks to your feedback.

New additions are the first four NPCs and creatures that populate two entirely new game spaces for the first time: air and water! We are excited to see how you like them!

The new game start including the tutorial has also made great progress! For example, the tutorial-related info messages are now only displayed if you actually choose to play the tutorial at the beginning of the game. Messages about story and quests are of course not affected by this. Also, there is now an archive or log in the PDA for both tutorial and quests, where you can look up your progress, todos and next steps, or read past messages!

Our work on the other planets is also progressing steadily. In the current update are more revised versions include... Read more

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

With today's update 1.7.5 we are fixing more problems that were found and repaired thanks to you in the past experimental phase.

Also some changes and additions that didn't fit in 1.7.3 are included this time.

All information can now be found again in the groups Afflictions, Benefits and Medical Items / Devices. In addition, minor adjustments have been made here. For more details, see the list below.

We are also trying out a new feature for you by adding a 'REPORT' button to the top right of the player inventory (TAB). This will allow you to access the forum from within the game. Let us know how you like such a shortcut or what you would like to see there instead.

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

Another update so soon after 1.7.3? Yes, because there are again some problems that we were able to fix thanks to your help and that shouldn't be put on hold until the next big update 1.8. ;)

There are also some improvements and adjustments that did not make it into version 1.7.3.

Today we start with the corresponding EXPERIMENTAL version. The final update will probably be released in 2 weeks. Depending on how the Experimental version goes, of course.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to the release of the version 1.7 update!

For all of you who supported us with bug reports and feedback in the previous experimental version (many thanks for this!) and for all of you who followed the publications, the following is not entirely new. Nevertheless, it may contain one or two short-term bug fixes that you may have been waiting for. As always, you can find the list of fixed bugs below!

As a little additional info: Thanks to the support of our active community, more than 300 bugs have been fixed in the last few months alone! :)

For all others who are just starting with Empyrion or are looking for information on Update 1.7 for the first time, we have summarized the most important new features below.

1. New decoration system
   More than 200 new assets have been added to build even more exciting planets in the future. For now examples of the new decoration system which can be found on th...

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Today we start the final phase of Experimental Version 1.7! Included is a very special gift that we announced some time ago and that we know is high on the wish list of many players: Crouch!

From now on your player avatar can go down by pressing and holding the C key (standard assignment). Press C twice in succession and you will remain in this mode until you either stand up (press C once) or jump, provided there is enough space above you.

In addition, some improvements to the existing features have been made for phase 3, and some bugs have been fixed.

Also new is the next story mission: Murky Christmas. You can play this mission directly by jumping to the sun of the Ellyon system. It starts there automatically.

However, a note: If you visited the ContAr1a95 system in phase 2 to see two of the new deco planets, you either have to clean up this system first (we have a howto for you in the mission feedback thread!)... Read more

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Phase 2 of the version 1.7 Experimental release has just been started!

This update will introduce a few testing planets of a completely new decoration system! For example, the grass under your feet/vehicle will now react correctly to you and your movement and other actions. In addition, we will increase the number of available decorative elements (i.e. plants, trees, stones, etc.) by more than 200, so that entirely new biomes and planet types will be possible in the future.

You can find three test planets for now: A temperate planet and a gas giant snow moon can be found in the system with the sun type 'ContAr1a95'. The third one, an alien type planet, can be found in the center of the galaxy (search for sun type ‘SMbh’). Use the ‘Search SYSTEM’ button on the galaxy map and type in the sun types to the TYPES field.

Note: If you have already visited these systems before the Experimental Update, the test planets will not be... Read more

v1.7
Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to the release of the version 1.7 EXPERIMENTAL update!

If you follow us on Discord, Twitter, Facebook or in our forums, you've probably already seen one or two changes for the upcoming version. Among other things, this is the first iteration of a new fluid effect system that reacts to interactions with the respective fluids (water, lava) - be it when a vehicle is moving fast, being shot at, wading through, or just having a nice swell on the shore. Further improvements for this are planned.

The AI pathfinding on terrain has also received a far-reaching improvement. Obstacles such as trees, stones and plants will be recognised better in future and the movement paths will be smoothened.

Aside from purely technical changes, for all creative galaxy builders, lots of new options for designing the galaxy, the nebulae to new settings for items and blocks have been added to the latest version!

For all pl... Read more
