DevBlog #115 | Foundry Fridays: Update 5 Experimental Branch
Channel 3 Entertainment
Hello everyone!
I’m happy to announce that early next week we’ll be sharing a new experimental version with the content of the upcoming update. We will do a separate announcement on Steam and our Discord once it is out.
Experimental Version Features
Following features will be present in the experimental build:
Blueprints
New Loaders
Conveyor Lifts
Train Improvements & Powered Tracks
Small cargo ships
A couple of performance improvements
The one thing we have decided to further delay are the Small Assembly Lines. They do need more work, and we already know that we’d have to rush them for the update date we’re targeting. Therefore we decided to hold them back for now in order to ensure the quality of the feature.
What to expect from Experimental?
The features are functional and working, but some of them may need a little more polish. Examples of that might be a UI window looking unpolished, or outdated info database pages and tutorial texts.
Our experimental builds are intended for the players to give feedback, not for regular play. Although we aim for savegame compatibility, we cannot guarantee it and therefore urge you to never override a savegame when you’re playing on an experimental build!
Where to provide Feedback?
You can leave feedback either on Steam (both as comment or new thread) or on our Discord server . Or if in-game you can press F9 and send us feedback through the feedback system, this is especially useful in case you encounter bugs.
On previous experimental versions player feedback has been very valuable to improve features and to catch bugs early, so I’d like to repeat that we’re very grateful for any kind of feedback you provide!
Is there an update date yet?
Not yet, and I’ll be transparent: We’ll check the first round of feedback before we lock in a date for the update. However we’re working hard to have another update soon, so I don’t expect it to be too far out.
That’s all for today, -mrmcd
