BIONIC BOOST Event



‘BIONIC BOOST’ Event


This weekend, all of our servers will have another ‘BIONIC BOOST’ event!! It will be active for 48 hours from midnight on Friday, June 14th (PST) to midnight on Sunday, July 16th.

Your cybernetic arm will receive a temporary augmentation, increasing your ability to gather resources.

Official servers will receive two separate boosts this weekend:

2x gathering boost:


Excluding special items like keys, all gathering will be doubled over the weekend. This includes terrasite, stone, and metal, as well as all containers and NPCs around Ararat Island.

Patch Notes: v0.4.9

We’re getting really close to revealing what we’ve been working on for our next big update. I’ll be sharing a little about what we’re preparing later this week in a separate game note. For this week’s patch, we have a couple balance changes and bug fixes. If dummy decoys or bounding mines are in your armory, keep on reading.



Improved Mob Battle AI



Some Orbis and Hyena mobs only shot their guns while standing still. We’ve put them through training, and they’re now able to shoot while running, especially while dodging the player’s aim.



Dummy Decoy Duration Changes



Small adjustments were made with the goal of ensuring better balance across a variety of situations. The active duration of Dummy Decoys has been slightly reduced to help them be more tactical, and to reduce clutter when several are used.


New Dummy Decoy Active Duration


🚀 Lv.1: 2 minutes (120 sec)
🚀 Lv.2: 5 minutes (300 sec)



Bounding Mines Not Affected By EMP



Defending your base and your possessions is priority #1 on Ararat island. The last thing anyone wants is to log in and find that someone has touched their stuff. You can rest a little more easily knowing that bounding mines will no longer be affected by EMPs. They’ll stay powered at all times, ensuring that any intruder to your base will have to think twice before approaching your front door.



Fixes & Optimizations


🔹 Fixed issue where items couldn’t be transmitted while skin was applied.

We’ve got a Wiki!



If you’re not aware already, Dysterra has its own wiki page! We’ve been working hard to build it between patches and events, but we feel like we finally have the basics and are happy to share it with our community.


A game wiki should be a source of info for players to quickly and easily find the answers to questions they have about the game. If you have an idea on how to improve the wiki, go ahead and add it! While we may have made the wiki, it’s meant to be managed by you, the community.


We’ve added a #wiki-talk channel to our Discord so players can discuss additions to the wiki, such as asking if it would be helpful to make a “How to beat the Juggernaut” guide, and where to put it so people can easily navigate to it.

Hop on over to our Discord to start contributing!




P.S.


A big shoutout goes to ArtfulOCE who made some of our first pages!

‘BIONIC BOOST’ Event


This weekend, all of our servers will have another ‘BIONIC BOOST’ event!! It will be active for 48 hours from midnight on Friday, June 7th (PST) to midnight on Sunday, July 9th.

Your cybernetic arm will receive a temporary augmentation, increasing your ability to gather resources.

Official servers will receive two separate boosts this weekend:

2x gathering boost:


Excluding special items like keys, all gathering will be doubled over the weekend. This includes terrasite, stone, and metal, as well as all containers and NPCs around Ararat Island.

2x damage boost to mobs:


Any damage to mobs will be multiplied by 2 (orbis robots, hyena soldiers, bears, elk, and even facility bosses!). Mobs will only incur 1x damage to you and your friends, so this is the perfect time to go out there and take on whatever enemy you've been having trouble with!

Patch Notes: v0.4.8

It’s patch time again! We’ve got some new, top-tier weapon attachments, some quality of life fixes to mob looting, the transmitter store, and fixed a couple of bugs. We’ll be making a major announcement in the next week or two, so keep your eyes peeled!



4 New Attachments!



We’ve added 4 new, yellow-tier attachments: a silencer, a compensator, a vertical grip, and an extended magazine. These will be found in facilities where you used to find the purple tier attachments. Except for the extended magazine, they are not craftable. You’ll have to find them at facilities.

Stats:


Silencer SI-05



  • Bullet Speed: -4%
  • Recoil Control: +4%

Compensator CS-05



  • Bullet Speed: -4%
  • Recoil Control: +14%

Vertical Grip VTG-05



  • Aiming Speed: -4%
  • Recoil Control: +14%

Extended Magazine HM-02



  • Extra Ammo: + 50%
  • Reloading Speed -6%




ADS Fix



We fixed some sight issues when zooming in with gun sights (aim down sights) on the following guns:

  1. SMG MMP-500X ECLAIR
  2. Energy DMR
  3. ENERGY ASSAULT RIFLE EC MK-III




Transmitter Duplicates Be Gone!



Each day, the transmitter displays the items of the day, but it would show 2 or 3 of the same item on rare occasions.

We rewrote the transmitter’s code to make sure that each item in the daily item list is different.



Loot Stealing in PVE Mode? Never again!



To prevent loot stealing, especially with facility bosses, we’ve added a new feature to PvE servers where only the player that inflicted the most damage on an enemy can take that enemy’s loot.

This does not apply to people on your team, so anyone on the team of the person who inflicted the most damage will also have the right to loot the mob in question.




Fixes


🔹 Fixed a bug where specific resources in hacking boxes were being duplicated during the Terra Fire countdown as well as during 2x resource events.

🔹 Fixed issue where mobs would not disappear when the Hyena dropship disappeared.

🔹 Fixed issue where explosion damage was not applied to the 1st and 2nd floor cores in the Chemical Outpost.

🔹 Fixed issue where Ground Stabilization applied excessive repair amount to building parts.

🔹 Fixed issue where crafting stations couldn't recognize crafting materials during the crafting process.

🔹 Fixed issue where a player’s inventory slot count was not increased after acquiring the Big Bag skill.

🔹 Fixed issue where the crafting station UI showed insufficient energy after destroying one’s core and installing a new one.

🔹 Fixed issue where general items in the transmitter were not displayed correctly.

‘BIONIC BOOST’ Event


This weekend, all of our servers will have another ‘BIONIC BOOST’ event!! It will be active for 48 hours from midnight on Friday, June 30th (PST) to midnight on Sunday, July 2nd.

Your cybernetic arm will receive a temporary augmentation, increasing your ability to perform select actions.

Official servers will receive two separate boosts this weekend:

2x gathering boost:


Excluding special items like keys, all gathering will be doubled over the weekend. This includes terrasite, stone, and metal, as well as all containers and NPCs around Ararat Island.

2x miner speed:


All miners will produce items at twice their normal speed.

Patch Notes: v0.4.7

It’s another small patch as our office is hard at work preparing for our next major update. We hope you all are enjoying your Summers (or Winters if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere).
This patch contains a modification to the lobby’s server menu, as well as some other small bug fixes.

Please remember to take a short break every once in a while to stand up, stretch, and maybe look out of your window at something far away for 30 seconds.



Server Menu Change



Showing the number of players on a server could be abused to determine if bases on a server are empty. That’s why we’ve decided to remove the exact number of people online at a specific time, and replace it with the “Population” state. This way it’s best for pvp players so they can always have the expectation that someone is in the base they’re about to loot.



Transmitter Shop Item Refresh



In case some of you don’t already know, we update the contents of the transmitter store each week during our regular maintenance. Here are the six new items available for purchase this week in the transmitter!

The four armor pieces below will be available, as well as an Energy Machine Gun GPMG42 (The one that spins and shoots lasers), and also a Stealth Disruptor Protocol.





Fixes & Optimizations 🔧


🔹 Fixed the issue where Extended Magazine could not be transmitted using the Transmitter.

🔹 Fixed text error regarding Titanica Boots [Ivory]

🔹 Fixed issue where housing installations such as doors and windows couldn't be placed in specific areas
