It's finally here, the crafting beta starts today! [h1]Join the beta branch now (free and open to all, doesn't break saves) to try out the new user-friendly crafting system.[/h1] https://youtu.be/ynff1lkY7DY Major Changes: [list] [*] There are fewer parts, but each one is special ;) [*] There are more recipes, allowing you to specialize [*] You will see exactly what you're going to build *before* you build it [*] You can add extra parts or data to get a crafting level boost!

[*] You can buy schematics and essences at stations [/list] Crafting: [url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38088504/a6450269303e63210fc4668af02937e82670b352.png][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38088504/4fe917471d79b8e9425da6f456737bc52cf17673.png[/img][/url] Salvage: [url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38088504/154eeb308556a86cf8b02ca9ad3894e56677f9ad.png][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38088504/cc2c289a9d5c81bb8927a4cdea8f59bb0ca7b2c5.png[/img][/url] Essence Extraction: [url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38088504/9b8d767c853c1dadbcf8c0018d670966c036d3f2.png][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38088504/1955165d996120d2568e9ed1dcc82cc97a1a8391.png[/img][/url] [h1]What's Not Done Yet?[/h1] The "Mods" system. This is where you will be able to upgrade the stats of existing gear, or change the damage type of your away team guns. Cool stuff. But I need another week to get it running, and this way you can test what I've done so far while I get mods together. It's another level of multi-tasking for me. [h1]What's after that?[/h1] Re-writing the auto-explore!
