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 particular, the aim here is to conserve the bandwidth of the servers offering multiplayer and, in the best case scenario, to enable you to obtain the additional content required to enter the game more quickly when you connect to the server for the first time.
Last but not least - and apart from the bug fixes - we have put a lot of work into the Blueprint Collection Tool, some of the playing fields in the Default Scenario and the Guided Tutorial (playable via the main menu)!
You can find all the details in the changelog below.
As always:
- Please post bugs and errors in this forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/
- Please post feedback here in the feedback forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/faq-feedback.25/
We hope you enjoy v1.11.7 and look forward to your feedback!
Yours,
Eleon Game Studios Team.
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

Multiplayer: Scenarios SharedData
- NEW: Added a new way to download the SharedData folder: SharedData download can now be done via cloud storage service which is much faster and saves dedi bandwidth on login.
See the stock dedicated.yaml that comes with the "Standalone dedicated server" (Steam > tools > Empyrion Dedicated server) for full details at the bottom. - SharedData cloud download now shows progress in % and with total download size
How to use
For the Standalone dedicated server/MP
- Right click on the SharedData folder in the custom scenario folder & select to zip/compress the SharedData and upload the zip file to a cloud service such as “Google drive”, “Dropbox” or “OneDrive (Personal)”.
- Once the compressed copy is uploaded to your file host of choice enable sharing for the uploaded file & create a share link for it & set that link in the SharedDataURL parameter in the Dedicated.yaml & then save the file & start the server.
For Co-op mode
- Right click on the SharedData folder in the custom scenario folder you wish to use & select to zip/compress the SharedData and upload the zip file to a cloud service such as “Google drive”, “Dropbox” or “OneDrive (Personal)”.
- Once the compressed copy is uploaded to your file host of choice enable sharing for the uploaded file & create a share link for it & copy the link.
- Next in the Co-op setup menu where you will see a GUI element for “SharedDataURL” click on it & add the link you copied & paste it here then when ready start the co-op server & the link will get added to the dedicated.yaml that is automatically generated in the save game folder for the co-op game you have started.
!ATTENTION!
Any time a custom scenarios SharedData folder is updated you should also upload a new version of it to your file host of choice & create a new share link which needs to be added to the dedicated.yaml replacing the previous link setup there.BP Collection tool
- Fixed bug that if resizing a blueprint part, the snap points got repositioned

As always: please report bugs in this forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/
We thank you all for your cooperation and patience and look forward to your feedback!

- Fix: Base attack did ignore the MinimalBaseStrength parameter
At the beginning of March, we provided some insights here into the basic contents for the coming weeks and months (Roadmap Blog - March/April 2024).
Today, we want to get more specific and give you a little preview of the upcoming update.
Here's a little disclaimer: All images below and detailed information should be considered as work in progress. They are from the active development process, and it's possible that even days before a release, things may change or, if in doubt, be postponed to the next update. Therefore, the information below is primarily to let you know what we are currently working on and to shorten the waiting time for the next update. Thank you for your understanding. 🙂
With that said - What are the main topics of the next update?
New Features: Boarding Parties!
The turrets of the Dark Faction are getting (the first iteration of) a new function! The Disruptor Turret will now be able to immobilize your (not shield-protected) ship and then the Translocator turret will teleport troops over to your vessel! Make sure your internal security is up to scratch! 😀
Improvement: Sword and Body Shield
Three improvements are planned here. Not only has the swing speed of the sword been significantly increased. There is now also an additional animation and a glow effect around your avatar as soon as the shield is active.
UI/UX Improvements:
- Dark Field On Screen Info & Warning message
We added new information and updated the markers in the various map views about the presence or strength of the local Dark Field. There is also now a new message: when you approach a planet it will inform you about the strength of the Dark Field even before you attempt to land! - Lift-Off Warning
In addition to that, we also plan to add another new warning message - available for both game versions: If you approach a planet, a warning will be displayed in case you would not be able to take off from this planet.
Last but not least, the current update includes a topic that fits with the previous improvement and also brings some new content that we would like to explain to you in advance.
New Feature: Range Preview for Generators
Both for the Dark Field Neutralizers (also for the Dark Field Generators) and the regular gravity generators, there is now a live preview of the effect field that you can activate BEFORE the final placement! This feature will, of course, also be included in the main game (without DLC) for the gravity generators!
And yes, we are deliberately using the plural "gravity field generators". ;)
New Content: Gravity Generator for Small Vessels (SV) and New Model
We will not only renew the model of the gravity generator and give several models with different ranges, but also introduce gravity generators for SV - for both game versions (with and without DLC).
Overall, this should give you more flexibility for your building projects - or, if it's your aim, a needs-oriented and more precise coverage without just installing the biggest generator. ;)
As mentioned above, everything here is still a work in progress and can be subject to change. ;)
Beyond the mentioned topics, there are, of course, general improvements, e.g., to the movement patterns of the creatures and, of course, bug fixing!
We hope there is something among the above improvements for you as well.
There is no fixed date for the mentioned update yet, but it looks good for the coming week.
We will keep you updated. 🙂
Your Eleon Game Studios Team.
]]>
First off, we want to thank you for your patience over the last days and weeks while we have been working on further improvements and bug fixes!
We acknowledge that the DLC fell short of what we intended. Our aim was to offer something substantial and innovative, but in our pursuit to push boundaries, we ended up releasing an experience that was not well-polished and had technical issues. Now, we can only show you with facts that we want to make things right. Our entire team is working diligently on these step-by-step improvements.
One of the key issues was the COOP mode, which was addressed in the recently released update.
It is now not only operational again but the scenario "Rise of the Dark Faction" has also been expanded in terms of cooperative play for small groups. This means you can now play the scenario and its story campaign with several friends at the same time in a new game. Please pay attention to the new text displays and information from the game and keep in mind that it is a COOP scenario, not a full multiplayer scenario.
So, what comes next? Let’s have a quick look!
Dark Field Improvements
We're refining how the game communicates the Dark Field's impact, ensuring you have all the information you need to navigate its challenges.
New Notification Feature*
Stay alert with a feature that warns you when approaching a planet that's hard to escape due to gravitational or dark field conditions.
Handling Enhancements
Expect better handling of Dark Field Generators, Neutralizers, and Gravity Generators*, allowing for tailored gameplay strategies
Gameplay Experience
Look forward to a series of updates aimed at enriching the overall gameplay - from better shield indicators to enhanced NPC animations.
Spreading Mechanic & Alpha Field
We're broadening the Spreading-Mechanic to be usable with other NPC factions and introducing the "Alpha Field" setting, offering new layers of strategic depth.
This is, of course, just a brief summary of the things we are doing to show you that we continue to work with the utmost effort to provide you with the gaming experience you deserve and that we haven't for a minute thought of letting you, our community, down.
As you might have noticed, we have been working on fixing these issues and will continue to do so to ensure that you receive the experience we originally envisioned. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered.
We hope that our upcoming fixes will provide a better experience for those who give us a second chance, as that is ultimately our goal.
Thank you for your tremendous support, and we look forward to continuing to build and improve Empyrion Galactic Survival and the Dark Faction expansion together with you!
Your Eleon Game Studios Team.
*) Will be available for both the DLC and the main game (without DLC) in relation to the mechanics, functionalities, devices, items and tools available in the respective version!]]>

Dark Faction, our first DLC ever, has arrived, bringing new mysteries, weapons, devices, building blocks, and an all-consuming, galaxy-spanning threat.
Witness the birth of a new galactic power.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2765930/Empyrion__Galactic_Survival_Dark_Faction/
Survive A new Scenario
Solo or in co-op, plunge into an intense survival story from the moment you enter the world. Wake up on the Vanguard, the ship you just saw in the trailer, and discover what has befallen its crew. This journey will lead you down a dark path, but even this corruption can be excised with new weapons and technology.
Carve Away The Corruption in Melee Combat
Melee combat is a new feature introduced in the Dark Faction DLC. Two specially crafted energy-boosted swords are one of the few things that can harm the Dark Faction. Equipped with a sword, you will also enjoy a shield for a limited amount of time. While fighting, make sure to keep an eye on your stamina.
Ballistic Trajectory Weapons
Dark Faction also brings two brand-new kinds of weapons that use ballistic trajectory: The grenade launcher, and the bow, effective in short to mid-range combat.
A New Environment Spreads
Planets that have been taken over by the Dark Faction can be clearly identified by their darker atmosphere, and their environment changes dramatically, corrupting flora, fauna, and weather. Left unchecked, the corruption will spread to new planets as time passes. Play the story to discover how to halt the spread, even liberating corrupted planets.
Build With New Blocks
Find a way to render the corruption benign and you can build your ships and bases with the new Symelit material, which looks corrupted and organic. It probably won’t eat you alive.
Dark Field Technology and More
Beware the power of Dark Field Generators that interfere with your technology, such as power generators, by crafting Dark Field Neutralizers to counteract the effect. Cripple enemy ships from a distance with the Disruptor Turret by cutting off their thrusters and making them easy prey. Even more advancements wait to be discovered!
Thank you all for joining us on this journey to new horizons. Our small team is proud of what we have accomplished with this DLC, and excited at this opportunity to offer you a new experience in Empyrion.
We would also like to clarify that as ever, work on the base game continues with free updates and bug fixes, details of which we look forward to sharing with you. If you have any further questions about the DLC, take a look at our recent FAQ on Dark Faction.]]>
Today we are not only releasing "Dark Faction", our first content expansion for Empyrion Galactic Survival - we are also releasing a general update for version 1.11
You can find all changes in the changelog below.
The bugfixes listed below also apply to owners of the DLC. We released most of the planned bug fixes towards the end of last year because we didn't want to keep you waiting for the release of version 1.11!
Very important: For the main game version without DLC, development will of course continue (with free content updates and bug fixes)!
As always, we look forward to your valued feedback!
Main game changes:

- Parts Collection Window: fixed Blueprints losing blocks when saving a BP via Parts Collection Window and there were blocks without Id changed/moved in BlocksConfig.ecf
- 01184: Delay of Fuel calculation for just loaded structure lead to wrong fuel consumption
- 01113: Forcefield effect visual glitch while moving in 1PV on the vessel

We will now try to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the Empyrion Galactic Survival DLC 'Dark Faction'.
Additionally, we plan to release more blog posts with further details and information about the DLC in the weeks leading up to the release!
As always: If you have specific questions about the gameplay or the new features of the DLC, feel free to post them below this message and we will try to answer them in the next theme blog.
Without further delay - let's get started!
FAQ
- General -
Does the DLC only work in single player?
Server owners can set up servers based on the DLC-included game version as normal. However, all players must own and have installed the main game and the DLC to play on these servers
Is the "Dark Faction Rising" scenario suitable for multiplayer mode?
The scenario is intended for single player and small co-op games. It is not balanced or made for dedicated servers. Dedicated multiplayer scenarios based on the DLC may follow in the future.
Will the content of the main game (version with and without DLC) continue to be updated free of charge (content updates, bug fixes)?
We will continue to provide the main game (version without DLC) with free content and bug fixes for its owners. Owners of the DLC version of the game will of course also receive associated bug fixes and DLC-specific content updates free of charge
Will there be another bug fix update before the DLC release?
Bug fixes that are relevant for both the main game version with and without DLC will, whenever possible, be fixed and installed at the same time. However, it is also possible that the DLC game version and the non-DLC game version will sometimes be updated independently of each other. Please keep an eye on our announcements!
- Compatibility -
Can I download/subscribe to blueprints created with the DLC for my non-DLC game?
We are currently clarifying the final technical details. However, it will not be possible to use DLC-related content (e.g. blueprints with DLC content) on non-DLC savegames or game versions (neither in single player nor in multiplayer)
Can players who do not own the DLC play on servers that require the DLC?
That will not be possible. To play on a server or scenario that uses DLC content, the creators and players must own and have installed both the main game and the DLC.
Can scenarios that were created with the main game (version without DLC) use DLC contents?
Scenarios or mods that are based solely on the main game (version without DLC) will not be able to use the contents of the DLC.
- Gameplay & Features -
Will we get melee combat?
Yes, there will be melee combat in the DLC game version. Take a closer look at the published screenshots ;)
Will the main storyline of the game be changed, expanded or completed with the DLC release?
Eleon Game Studios is a very small studio. To make the DLC fun and enjoyable, all developers and content designers have been working on this project for the last few months. We will of course continue to work on the main scenario ... especially on completing the main storyline (which will be included in both the version with and without DLC!)! However, there is no announcement on this yet and the work on the main story arc it is not part of the "Dark Faction" DLC update or the accompanying update to both game versions for the reasons mentioned above. The eponymous scenario in the DLC will also have its own storyline, which is not directly based on the main storyline or is only loosely connected to it.]]>
Today, we’re absolutely thrilled to announce that Dark Faction, our most ambitious project yet, arrives on February 6!
This DLC is priced at $9.99 / €9.99 and therefore, it contains by far the most content we’ve ever made for the game at once.
In this first ever DLC for the game, you will discover a terrifying threat to the entire galaxy: an almost indestructible organism driven to spread and take over any life it touches. Plunge into an intense survival story from the moment you enter the world.
We developed this scenario with both new and veteran players in mind. The new player experience provides an easy way to learn the basics of the game while setting up the new story. If you want to experience the new content on an existing character but without the story, you can do that too.
New Features
A New Story (requires new character): Wake up on a derelict ship and discover what has befallen the crew. Uncover the secrets of the Dark Faction and how to stop its spread across the galaxy.
Dark Faction Planets: Explore a new and deadly environment that’s spreading across the galaxy.
Dark Faction Building Blocks: Expand your creativity with a new set of organic building blocks.
New Devices: Craft new powerful devices such as the Translocator, Phase Shield, and Corrupted Shield.
Updated Melee Combat: We’ve updated melee combat, which plays a large role from the beginning of the scenario.
We’ve Partnered with Funcom!
In addition, we’re delighted to announce that we’ve partnered with Funcom for marketing duties on our future projects. That goes for Dark Faction... and beyond.
Funcom’s previous publishing record includes Shiro Games’ Dune: Spice Wars and The Outsiders’ multi-award winning Metal: Hellsinger. They are also the developers of the open world survival game Conan Exiles.
With Funcom taking care of marketing, we’re free to focus entirely on development, and as you will see with Dark Faction, this has given us the opportunity to raise the bar for both the quality and quantity of our content.
A New Chapter for Empyrion
We want to thank you all so much for your support. Being able to release a DLC of this size and scope is a big milestone that we couldn’t have achieved without your support over the years. We look forward to entering this new chapter for Empyrion with all of you.
The Dark Faction begins to spread on February 6.

The festive season is upon us, so it's high time we released update 1.10.5 for everyone waiting for the latest updates, content additions and bug fixes!
With this update, we're not only moving to a new version of Unity, but also adding goodies like AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 and NVIDIA DLSS2. You can find some important information about these two new features in the changelog below. With the two technical changes also come a number of field optimisations that are very important for our multiplayer servers and their communities.
On the content side, we would like to present you the new models for constructors, deconstructors and other crafting devices, the new deco trees for interiors, a number of new and updated POIs (some of them with the new NPC model of the Brotherhood of Farr), some new building shapes, improvements to the tools for collecting blueprints and more.
Of course, version 1.10.5 also includes a list of bug fixes.
You can find all the details in the changelog below.
As always, please report any bugs here:

Changelog v1.10.5 B4257 2023-12-13
Changes:
- Updated Unity to 2022.3.8f1
- Added video options for AMD FSR2 and NVIDIA DLSS2. We have added support for AMD's FSR2 and NVIDIA's DLSS2 to our game, which can be found at the bottom of the video options in the options menu. These technologies work by using different methods to upscale lower resolution frames to higher resolution ones, while preserving and enhancing the details and sharpness of the original image. They can help you improve your performance and graphics quality, depending on your hardware, resolution, and scene complexity.
We recommend using FSR2 or DLSS2 only with 4K or 2K resolutions, as these are the optimal settings for these technologies. Using FSR2 or DLSS2 with lower resolutions (for example 1080p & below) may result in blurry or pixelated images, as the upscaling process may not have enough information to work with. If you are using a lower resolution monitor or device, you may want to keep FSR2 or DLSS2 disabled and use the native resolution of your screen.
Please note that FSR2 and DLSS2 have some limitations and trade-offs & DLSS2 only works on Nvidia RTX GPUs.

Welcome to the third release of Empyrion Galactic Survival v1.10.5 Experimental branch.
Please see the changelog for new additions to this release.
As always, we extend our gratitude for your unwavering support and valuable feedback throughout this experimental phase. As always - please report each bug over here for this experimental release phase: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.34/
Changelog v1.10.5 B4255 2023-12-06
Changes:
- Added a video option for Nvidia DLSS2:
We have added support for NVIDIA's DLSS2 to our game which can be found at the bottom of the video options in the options menu.
Like with FSR2 we recommend using DLSS2 with at least 2k resolution or 4k.
You can also choose from three image quality modes: Quality, Balanced, and Performance.
Each mode has a different performance boost and a different image quality.
DLSS2 can help you achieve smoother and more responsive gameplay, depending on your hardware, resolution + video options, and scene complexity.
Nvidia users at native 2k resolution can also experiment with using DLDSR & or DSR from the nvidia control panel in combination with DLSS2 to improve overall picture quality.
To do this simply open the Nvidia control panel from your desktop then navigate to:
Manage 3d settings > Global settings > DSR - Factors:
If you have the “DL scaling” options at the top of the GUI choose those over the “Legacy” options. For now test with just the 1.78x option by checking the box then select ok & apply in the control panel.
You may also want to adjust the "DSR Sharpness" setting to you liking here in combination with your DLDSR/DSR which is just below "DSR -Factors". Typically around 10 to 20% is enough.
Next start the game up & in the video options choose the screen mode “Exclusive Fullscreen” & then in the resolution list select a new resolution which should be at the bottom of the list.
Lastly select which mode of DLSS to use at the bottom of the video options on the right side then load into a save game. When in a save you can change to different quality modes with DLSS via the video options.
To go back to your native resolution just change it back in the resolutions list in the video options.
Additional: you may also want to experiment at this point with locking your FPS in the video options menu to 60 or up to a max of 75 when using such higher resolutions to increase the image quality in combination with DLSS to decrease the workload on your GPU.
Important: DLSS2 only works on Nvidia RTX GPUs and it may have some limitations and trade-offs. - Main Loca updated for new video option settings
Guided Tutorial: Maintenance update:
- Updated configs (Switched to new Constructor models, Multitool T1 now uses Small Energy Cells as ammo) - Tweaked some POI for Multitool ammo loot
Fixes:
- 00938: Fuel for turned off vessels can go missing when the player returns
- 01108: GUI tiles go blank on the first opening after loading in to a save
- Fix the path of some prefabs like "HexapodDeadPrefab" in some scenarios to fix an exception found in PF server logs
- Fixed MultitoolT2 not using the MultiCharge as ammo in Default Multiplayer
- Fix Decoration collider bug https://empyriononline.com/threads/can-not-harvest-rocks-or-trees-on-snow-planets.102093/
- Deconstructor device animations are not working correctly.
Welcome to the second release of Empyrion Galactic Survival v1.10.5 Experimental branch.

Changelog v1.10.5 B4251 2023-11-29
Changes:
- Added a video option for AMD FSR2 + implementation & default settings:
We have added support for AMD’s FSR2 to our game which can be found at the bottom of the video options in the options menu.
FSR2 works by intelligently upscaling lower resolution frames to higher resolution ones, while preserving and enhancing the details and sharpness of the original image.
We recommend using FSR2 only with 4K and 2K resolutions, as these are the optimal settings for this technology. Using FSR2 with lower resolutions may result in blurry or pixelated images, as the upscaling process may not have enough information to work with. If you are using a lower resolution monitor or device, you may want to keep FSR2 disabled & use the native resolution of your screen.
Each mode has a different performance boost and a different image quality. FSR2 can help you increase your FPS and reduce your GPU usage, depending on your hardware, resolution, and scene complexity. However, FSR2 only works on GPU-bound scenarios, and it has some limitations and trade-offs. - Added/updated POI (Kriel, RAV, Colonists, Talon'Ar; Thx to Don2k7, Stellar_Titan, Escarli, Matcz)
- Added new 'City Ruins' POI (by sulusdacor)
Playfield changes:
- Ground texture and deco tweaks for the following playfield types:
(Desert, MoonIce2, MoonNascent, Scorched, Snow, Arid, Barren, BarrenMetal, Lava, LavaNascent, Moon, MoonDesert, MoonIce, MoonLava, MoonLava2, Temperate, TemperatePlateau, TemperateSwamp, DesertBurn) - Removed some texture artifacts

Fixes:
- Fixed O2 issue on Far Point Outpost (thx to AkevaBanshee)
- PDA *Signals are not working if player fly with vessel in area
- MP issue with constructors not showing animations
- Fixed Farr did not attack hostile players (please retest)
Known:
- Deconstructor animations are not triggering
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our esteemed colleague and friend, Jascha. It is an incredibly challenging moment for all of us as we come together to remember and honor the life of someone who was not only a valuable member of our team but also a cherished individual.
He made the Empyrion Admin Helper (EAH) , worked with us on the API and the multiplayer side of the game. Without his contributions Empyrion as you know it, would not exist.
Let us extend our deepest condolences to Jascha's family and friends.
Our thoughts are with them during this challenging time.
May we find strength in our shared memories of Jascha and in the support we provide to one another as a united family.
Sincerely,
Eleon Game Studios]]>

Changelog v1.10 B4232 2023-06-27
Gameplay
- Added the ‘Drone Bay’: You can now craft and place the Drone Bay and equip it with Defense Drones. A Drone Bay Spawner is required for starting the drones.
- Pay attention to the direction you set the drone spawner block & also place it on the outside of the vessel so the drones have easy access to it to spawn & despawn from.
- To “retrieve” spawned drones toggle the power off for the drone bay & wait for them to return & despawn. When they are close to your vessel keep it still so they can find the spawner & despawn.
- Please note this is the first iteration of this feature. Please leave you feedback here
- Pay attention to the direction you set the drone spawner block & also place it on the outside of the vessel so the drones have easy access to it to spawn & despawn from.
- Replaced player bike with a player hover bike: Note that the Hoverbike cannot go over water
https://empyriononline.com/threads/v1-10-exp-hoverbike-feedback.101631/
Building: Blueprint Parts Collection Tool
- Added a new tool to manage blueprint part collections “Blueprint Parts Collection Tool”. To try this tool out in creative mode use 'di wdw' in the console to test it
- Added possibility to create snap points to combine blueprint parts together. With that POIs can be created very fast and easy, especially out of construction sets.
- Added console command 'bpcoll' to show the blueprint parts collection window
- A demonstration video for the snap points feature to help guide you through the process of creating snap points and utilizing them in your blueprints effectively.
- We encourage you to try out the feature firsthand in the game and share your valuable feedback with us over here: https://empyriononline.com/threads/v1-10-exp-blueprint-parts-collection-tool.101632/
- Snap points are an incredibly powerful addition, and once you become familiar with their functionality, you'll discover that they are a remarkable time-saving tool.
Building: Blocks & Shapes
- Added 23 new blockshapes; You can find the new blockshapes by checking for missing slots and white blanks on the Cubes, Round and Connector tabs OR hover over the seemingly empty slots on the 2nd page of the "basic shapes" tab
- Added: Ramp Round Medium Transition (All blockshapes for 1.10 are now added)
- Fixed mirror issues with new blockshapes
- Updated new shape icons for clarity
- Water and Lava Blocks are now available from in the Item Menu for POI building
- Added WaterSplash at high speed fall
- Changed: Water block now has 8° temperature effect + drops purified water when picked up in survival
- Changed: Lava block now drops rockdust when picked up in survival
Default Scenario Update:
POI & OPVs:
- Added/updated about 300 space & ground stations, wreckages, dungeons, small and large, weak and strong combat and civilian vessels - created, reworked and updated by various authors and community contributors (check details at: https://empyriononline.com/forums/showroom-submissions.108/).
- Thanks a lot to everyone building for Empyrion <3
Missions
- Added locale mission arcs (with 5 missions each) to all starter planets:
- Akua: Clear Skies
- Ningues: Andromeda Strain
- Masperon: Bad Wolf
- Skillon: Deserted Powers
- Ashon: To Good Business
- Note: To start the mission, find the main mission hub on the playfield (there are indications in PDAs and/or notifiers when approaching a mission relevant POI)
- Adjusted main storyline contents, mission structure and dialogues (eg. shortened amount of text and/or added more SKIP routes)
- Changed start location and context of main storyline (Prelude now starts when arriving on Omicron Sector!)
Most important changes:
- Updated: Story Mission 'Totally Overpowered' updated to new settings and faction references. Dialogues updated to reflect context changes.
- Updated: Story Mission 'Glacial Grave': Reduced Log content (amount of text) found on the system consoles down to 1-page logs and made several other refinements on procedures.
- Updated: Story Mission 'Ancient Revelations': fixed issues with opening doors too early, changed creatures to variants that better fit some room sizes. Staircase now cleared when using shortcut from main access to upper level; added some additional markers in some places.
- Updated: Story Mission 'Uncertain Outcomes': fixed several issues in mission progression; Set stations to civil + admin cores; removed Tier3 ores from mission asteroids.
- Updated: Story Mission Interlude 'Meet the GLaD': added some skip areas to Dialogues and streamlined text info for summaries
- Updated: Story Mission 'Sigma Fulcrum': Reduced clickcount on station console (each message now only shown once as long as player stays in the dialogue); Fixed a few inconsistencies with mission progress; Note the station is still set to Colonists faction you won't damage your reputation with. So first ask, then shoot.
- Updated: Story Mission 'Unexpected Allies': Fixed faction settings to not break mission progress. Updated some dialogues; updated info + added more SKIP routes in dialogues.
- Updated: Story Mission 'Wins and losses': Adjusted some text elements; Fixed progression issues. (Note, this is currently the LAST mission. Final mission might be added for 1.11 or 1.12)
- Deactivated 'Murky Christmas' mission (as this is seasonal content).
- General change on story mission factions & enemies: When there is no chance to proceed in a story mission other than to fight against a dynamic-RP faction, the opponents will be set to "Alien" to not forcefully ruin player reputation. If there is a choice, e.g. to trade, talk or fight, a dynamic faction might be used & the decision to ruin the Reputation towards them is up to the players themselves.
- Factions & Reputation & NPCs
- Set UCH to dynamic faction reputation
- Added a static player-friendly 'technical' faction 'PlayerAssistDefaultHostile' (PDH) to help with mission setups that require combat against default-hostile factions and RP is not spoiled by friendly-fire or the faction is already used in another context. The faction is not intended to have POI or territories but is a "technical" static faction only.
- Reworked faction reputation matrix: eg. added more crossover effects (pos and negative), removed too strong level-drop effects and added specific RP-loss amounts to some blocks (f.ex. Cores)
- Changed NPC groups (EclassConfig) and updated terrain-spawned patrol groups (Egroup)
- Telluropod now available from NPC Spawners
- Updated the UCH faction NPCs: the faction now uses a dedicated set of NPC types for military and civilians.
- For builders, use the male and female military and non-military variants for NPC spawns that start with ‘UCH’ (eg. UCHSoldierFemale2AssaultRifle, UCHPilotMaleRed, UCHCivilianMale1 and so on.
