New Planet Triton, Visual Scripting Tool Overhaul & Frostbite Pack

Major Button.png 19 March 2020 Forum Post

Summary

Hello, Engineers! Here we go with the first major update of 2020 - we hope you’ll enjoy it!

We added Small Hydrogen Tank and a handcrafted planet Triton, which features a breathtaking snowy and frozen landscape, that players can explore and build across. We are very fortunate to have such a creative and driven modding community. We recently had the opportunity to work closely with a member of that community, the incredibly talented Jakaria. The result is Scripted Weather, which you can experience now, in the new Frostbite scenario!

Visual Scripting Tool has been reworked - it is provided to our players to allow them to create their own campaigns, stories and more complex experience than it is possible with modding and programmable blocks. This tool’s UI has been redone and major bugs in Visual Scripting Tool, as well as the scripting engine, have been fixed.


We also added full support for Gamepad, changed UI visuals, done more Simulation and Render optimizations and much more!

Frostbite Pack DLC

Similar to our previous major releases, we decided to give you an opportunity to support the further development of Space Engineers. We have created a pack which consists of cosmetic items and the Frostbite scenario designed to enrich your game visually. None of the things in the package brings any advantage to players who purchase this DLC. The price of the Frostbite Pack is $3.99 USD, or your regional Steam equivalent, so if you wish to support us, check out the Frostbite Pack.

Frostbite Scenario

You are a member of a salvage crew, which has been tasked by a mysterious client to acquire something extremely valuable (yet unknown) on Triton. Play solo or with up to four players; explore this moon’s frigid landscape and remarkable architecture, and overcome numerous engineering challenges as you uncover this world’s secrets. The scenario gives you several hours of gameplay. We’d also like to thank several members of the Space Engineers community, who contributed voice-over recordings for the new Frostbite scenario: Naburine and DirectedEnergy of Ball&ChainGaming & Misfit Studios (creators of Protocol 51), Nathan "Silverbane" Steen, Skyler "Gorhamian" Gorham, Jacob "wearsglasses" Ruttenberg
