Howdy all, The open testing will begin on: [h3] January 12th at 7 pm. | January 12, 10:00 PM ET | January 13, 04:00 CET. [/h3]Let's see what's new this time! [b]Updated story background[/b] Players will now use special equipment invented by Qi to enter the Meta area world (Multiplayer) and experience a "semi-fictional" version of the history of Sandrock as compressed stories happening 50 years before single-player events. Due to this, some events and NPCs might differ from the single-player story.

Transferring between towns has also become more flexible and agile, and town owners can manage builder access, set up private rooms, and invite specific players to join their team (Note that this correlates positively with player contribution and level. More payouts may be required to remove important players from the team) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38997750/f5da03b22128948724beee1430e9d10252095e97.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38997750/14e584d2f2e247914ec30c3489f92afd6e746341.png[/img] [b]More types of Multiplayer co-op commissions[/b] A newly added co-op commission board in the shared workshop. These commissions will provide teams with more co-op missions (workshop/hunting/planting) and rewards for improving workshops and commerces. More importantly, you can count on your teammates as your quest progress is shared!
