Public Branch Update v1.18 Update

41 Upvotes

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to update 1.18! 

This version has a focus on a major rework of the status effect system, aimed at reducing stress during combat by minimizing overlapping or identical effects (stacking), but also to improve readability and better clarity  in many text areas within and around the PDA, missions and info given throughout the game. To fulfil that goal, we made several small and large updates to descriptive texts, clearer naming conventions, and a few updates to some game areas. More to come in future updates. Last, butt not least, Update 1.18 adds optimizations to the game code regarding AI pathfinding are also included, along with increased ID numbers for loot configuration and much more.

Just check out the complete overview below, test the new features and changes thoroughly, and then send us your feedback on our forum!

We hope you have fun testing!

Changelog: v1.18 Build 5083

Changes - All scenarios

(Default Random, Testing Grounds, Rise of the Dark Faction (for DLC owners))

Function/Feature Updates

  • Optimized NPC pathfinding by shifting the system to a multi-threaded architecture to improve AI movement when under heavy load.
  • Loot containers in the Containers.ecf can now have an upper limit of 9999 (before it was 1023).
  • Blueprint YAML export ( bpyaml console cmd): added additional export contents: header fields in export (GroupName, Tags, flags, orientation, camera, RL containers), TextureRot, Density, SnapPoints, BPPSnapMatchTable, ShortcutNames, BlockGroupInfo;
  • Blueprint YAML export ( bpyaml console cmd): added more contents to export: signalSources, signalReceivers, logicCircuits via NbtCollection/NBTYaml) 
  • Warp Route Planner: added additional checks to prevent players from getting hidden stars on their nav bookmark list.

Balancing: Status Effects 

  • Full rework of all harmful status effects in terms of logic, effects, connections and setup
  • Created a new logic with least amount of stacking of SEs (both in numbers and their effects)
  • Created a new progression with specific silo-cascades for each effect groups & sources (walking speed, health, food, health-thresholds, food-thresholds, stamina ect)
  • Remove high-tier Status Effects given by enemies in combat (reduced to starter-level SEs in order to contribute to the aforementioned)
  • Check all details: https://empyriononline.com/threads/v1-18-status-effects.103122/
  • Note: This is a work in progress in terms of final balancing and missing/not-yet-final new icons.

Status Effect related changes and balancing

  • Items that rise/lower body temperature cannot rise/lower beyond a limit. Lower limit/upper limit = 10/45°. Consuming items that provide a negative/positive temperature buff can still be consumed beyond that point but will not attribute any further temperature change.
  • The consumption-triggered body temperature effects are not instant anymore but now apply over time per second. They can be stack when consuming items repeatedly (duration of the effect increases). It is possible to cancel out a stacked temperature buff by consuming any item with the opposite effect or take a shower. (eg temperature increase stacked > drink a water or beer to remove the temperature heat stack. And vice-versa.).
  • For all temperature-changing items: temperature maximum change per item consumption is now shown in the items hover card. Note that this is an "up to", means: it can be lower or even blocked due to environmental and other effects in its regular timeout. Stacked effects will of course attribute higher changes until regular timeout.
  • Removed Indigestion chance from any consumable considered ‘processed’ in a way (cooked, fried, baked etc).
  • AntiToxic Pills can now heal Intoxication directly.
  • Showers now remove Dermal Parasites
  • Changed debuff BadTrip to Hangover when consuming Milk

Balancing: Gameplay adjustments 

  • Large & small grid building blocks are easier to carry in Inventory
  • Starter RockResources are faster do dig
  • On death, don’t drop SurvivalTool anymore
  • PromethiumStone hitpoints reduced to 100
  • Kitchencounter, Bathroomcounter can be (un)locked

Itemmenu / inventory info cleanup

  • Block names are now more descriptive of their structure type
  • Many Block and Item tooltips adjusted (Layout, clarity, length, gameplay info)
  • Localisation changes to some UI elements (Buttons, descriptions…)
  • Improved display options for small blocks

Textwork / PDA / Missions 

  • (PDA) Added timers before story warning chapters & fixed typos
  • Building tutorials now uses fitting block names
  • Layout smoothing for Testing ground chapters 

Prefabs

  • Fixed doors on BAO_UCHTradeStation.epb
  • Fixed npc spawners missing faction on predators on BA_CrashedCV_4Desert.epb

Changes: Default Random + TestingGrounds scenarios

(Default Random, Testing Grounds, Dark Faction)

Playfields: Akua rework pass 

  • Playfield is now randomized by seed
  • Biome deco and colour pass
  • Added ‘gameplay hint’ POI nests and broken HV at crash site
  • Added some basic exploration-focussed POI, another crashed vessel
  • Creature types, densities and placement reworked - A little bit more dangerous
  • Added tiny SSOR Promethium deposit
  • Mission materials should be a little bit easier to find (Eggs in Dustbowl biome, Butterflies more on open terrain & at progenitor POI, more TechRuins with hostile robots), Carbon deposit closer to Crashsite
  • More pistol ammo when starting out

PDA 

  • Layout and many texts reworked
  • Triggers for some info messages tweaked, so that they display closer to the ‘issue’
  • Story warning Dialog popups moved closer to POI, to prevent loss of control while driving

Misc:

  • Split Default MP complete away from Single Player (Configs, Prefabs, Playfields, Localization, RandomPresets), using v1.17 as base
  • Split IvD complete away from Single Player (Configs, Prefabs, Playfields, Localization, RandomPresets), using v1.17 as base

Fixes - All scenarios

  • Fixed fracture status effects do not cure after using medkit wearing epic armor
  • Fixed: Thalassor Gate was at the wrong position (applies to Testing Grounds only!)
  • BP Yaml export: fixed possible problems with obfuscation by marking yaml classes to not get obfuscated

EAH

  • Fixed Autominer and Set Blueprint worked with old fixed IDs 
  • Autominer setting asks for Dev Name fuel now

I've built too close in the past and had POI's stop regenerating. Does anyone know how close to a POI is "too close"?

I just want to be able to salvage at 100% chance and use the menu to display parts on hus to find them easier.

They can't do this and his make it auto-destroy the core and reset when it regenerates?

Combat Lag/Rubberbanding - Multiplayer

3 Upvotes

Hey hey,

Me and my teammates have been dealing with some unfortunate rubber banding issues during both space and ground combat similar to what is shown in the video here https://youtu.be/HpwiUnL0VBY

This happens during a shared playfield with them but also off on our own. We are all in separate households and no one else in this community experiences the same issues as us its so bizarre.

Here are some of the things we have tried:

-Graphical adjustments, high, low, med
-Fullscreen/Windowed/Borderless adjustments
-Any/All Driver Updates

We all run computers with 13th+ gen intel, 5070s/80s, 32-64gb DDR5 RAM, and all run Ethernet connections to our respective ISPs. Server latency for us hovers between 50-70 consistently.

Its hard to believe our hardware is any sort of issue but open to anything yall have ideas to try to relieve this lag, as it kills the fun of combat in this game pretty drastically.

Discussion Is anyone else still hoping for Empyrion: Galactic Survival 2?

70 Upvotes

I know the original is almost a decade old now, but honestly there's still nothing that scratches the same itch.

The combination of:
- Building literally anything you can imagine
- Designing your own ships from scratch
- Seamlessly flying from planets into space
- Walking around your ship
- Survival, exploration, and combat all in one game

...is still incredibly unique.

Imagine what an Empyrion 2 could be with Unreal Engine 5 or another modern engine:

- Massive performance improvements
- Better AI and NPC factions
- Fully crewable ships with recruitable NPC crews (pilots, engineers, medics, security, etc.)
- The ability to freely walk around your ship while it's traveling through space, with your crew actually performing their jobs in real time
- More living planets and wildlife
- Better multiplayer and dedicated servers
- Improved physics and destruction
- More meaningful exploration, faction diplomacy, and endgame content

Imagine standing on the bridge while your capital vessel is warping into another star system. Your pilot is flying, engineers are repairing damaged systems, security is responding to boarders, medics are treating injured crew members, and you can walk anywhere on the ship while it's all happening. That would be one of the most immersive space survival experiences ever made.

I honestly think I'd buy it on day one.

Has Eleon ever hinted at a sequel, or are they planning to keep building on the current game?

If Empyrion 2 was announced tomorrow, what would be the ONE feature you'd want more than anything else?

Workshop Indominus RX, a restructured beast. Out on the Steam workshop now! No exotic parts needed.[ Core 7 | Size 10 | Unlock 20 ]

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

Welcome to a newly realized beast.

The dawn of a new age of Indominus.

Passionately sculpted and reinvigorated to push the limits even further.

Created with elegance, versatility, and battle upgrades in mind. Many Advanced and Drive thrusters can be added to moreover sculpt this beast of a machine.

Indominus RX can fit up to 6 Heavy Launcher weapons in key places, as well as a full suite of destruction defining turrets along its hull and in hidden depths. In Defense, Indominus fits all shield parts. This gives you the highest level of shield power, or the ability sculpt it to your own desire of charge and strength.

Envision sauntering through the gardens, peer across the sculptured art and into a large marble studded and fine wood grand opening, where you can find the marble Grand staircase and ponder at its curves. Atop is a cozy little cafe, and down the aisle, views out into the expanse looking up. Gardens and Trees delight crew in the Dark abyss which can be the infinite depths of space at times. Look to the side and you can see the electro shock of the powerful LX-2 railgun (not included), charged up and ready to attack with full force. The Large shield arrays (not included) on the other side set to dismay your foes, for they will not get in this place...

This is a ship to be upgraded in all areas to unleash the raw power within.

Built for Reforged Eden 2

Find it on the workshop! Out now at:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3760018264
