New The Universim in-game engineThe biggest news is that we have begun work on an ambitious new in-game engine that we have titled ‘Prometheus’. And it will shake the very foundation of the core gameplay. Prometheus will simulate living planets in the game and will be responsible for both micro and macro world events. It will manage things like air density, vegetation and living creatures, natural resources, temperature, biome generation, and even dynamic events. Dynamic events consist of things like the changing of seasons and natural disasters. Season change will have a far more drastic effect than you may think. Winters in particular can be incredibly brutal. Some winters will last longer than others, and with them comes unimaginable cold. Food will become scarce, development will slow to a crawl, and sufficient shelter will be the only thing keeping your civilization alive. You had better prepare for whatever Prometheus has to offer.
Natural disasters include events such as tornadoes, earthquakes, viruses, meteors, and so much more. It is up to you to find solutions to these problems, or if the worst comes, begin anew with a better strategy.
All of these things, and more, will be handled by Prometheus in the game. But remember, Prometheus isn’t your friend. It will constantly challenge and surprise you. The system also handles planet generation, and while every planet you encounter can be colonized, it can be particularly difficult to do so in some instances. You need to develop the right technology to survive in certain conditions. If you fail to come prepared, Prometheus will ensure that your crew never makes it back home again.
Oh wow... This is going to be amazing!
Loving the global map style that's poped up recently, people keep making it look better n better, tracking.
