Dear Crew,

We just released a new update for the Closed Alpha of Nimbatus!

Here are the patch notes:

New Features

• New drone selection screen
• Drone browser to share drones using Steam Workshop
• New Tutorial
• Added On/ Off Switch (Like a flipflop)
• Added  XNor Gate
• Added Factory part that can print and decouple drone parts
• Batteries and fueltanks now trigger events when they are full / empty
• Added overlap detection and other warnings to the drone workshop
• Added keyboard shortcuts to the drone workshop
  

Reworks

• Reworked the galaxy map
• Reworked all savefiles
• The resource container now has sliding doors to make it less deadly!
• The snake now reacts to you when you destroy eggs
  

Bugfixes

• Fixed the attack of the hammerhead and made it more readable
• Fixed minor UI bugs
• Bio barrels, meteors and chests gives resources when collected
• Increased impact resistance of bio barrels and jungle chests
• Camera can now also be moved around by mouse cursor when a tracker part is focused.
  

[b]We are closing in on the Early Access release on Steam.
We need your help to test the game to prepare it for the release! [/b]

Please share your thoughts and feedback in our forum and report all bugs you encounter. Especially keep an eye out for bugs with the new Steam Workshop drone sharing!

In case we detect major bugs with the new savefiles or with the drone workshop in this update, we might have to reset the Steam Workshop again for the Early Access release, so we don't have broken or buggy drones online.

Happy testing!

Cheers,
Stray Fawn Studio



Warning: This update does not support older drones or savefiles. If you want to continue playing with the old savefiles please switch to the previous branch on steam. Here is how: 

– Open your Steam library
– Right click on Nimbatus in the Steam library
– Select Properties / Beta
– Select the Beta tab
– Select the branch from the drop down and restart Steam if the game does not update
