Hey Everyone,

We have a major update for you today. Aside from fixing two dozen bugs and adding various quality of life improvement, this update includes a second tutorial that covers first few hours of Survival gameplay. This is essential to help new players get into the game and learn the basics. It could also be useful for our current players. Tutorial goes all the way from crafting a pickaxe, to setting up a base, and asteroid mining. This update also redesigns how space vehicle weapons and mining works. There are actual weapons or mining lasers that go into space vehicle weapon slots now.

Note: Please keep in mind that NOVA now requires a mining beam to operate. It can be crafted or purchased at Land Vehicles merchant on BP or Space Stations. We will change this tomorrow, so that NOVA will come with pre-installed mining beam.

The team continues work at full speed, and you can expect our 13th update before New Years

Thanks for your continuous support, and wishing everyone amazing holiday season ahead!

And so presenting Update # 12
