Building Overhaul Update Sneak Peek

2024.05.26 17:10

Building Overhaul Update is the largest update coming to the game since the reboot of Dawn 2055 was launched. While it's still being developed, today's article brings you a sneak peek at some exciting new screenshots!

This update introduces numerous new graphics for squares and buildings, with building level upgrades now displayed in the appropriate graphics. Buildings will have distinct appearances based on their climate zones, whether desert, temperate, or polar. Additionally, ruins in the Polar Climate Zone will feature more varied graphics, making exploration even more intriguing!

Previously, buildings were placed exactly where the player was located. Now, players can select a nearby area for construction, with non-buildable squares darkened for clarity. For example, quarries can be built in mountains for rock mining or specific wet climate areas for clay mining. Windmills now show the required area for optimal wind conditions for electricity production in the new construction mode!

The settlement panel has been overhauled and now displays additional information such as population employment, housing data, and electricity consumption.

Players can choose where electricity is transferred from windmills or solar panels. Level 4 and Level 5 workshops will require a significant amount of electricity to function, requiring players to prioritize and strategize the best use of their electricity.

Build walls to keep others out or... yourself in! Protect the areas from boss npcs or other players. Just as defenses, walls can be fixed doing jobs in the outpost or settlement located in the same sector. Walls can be constructed from bricks and have level 3 defense upon construction. Opened or closed gates are also displayed appropriately!

New players can jump straight into settlement building gameplay by choosing the Builder start, which provides enough resources for the first outpost!
