Artifact Anomalies


  • Anomalies function very similar to resource patches - by researching them, you can gain more artifacts than you would usually find in a Ruin!
  • You can assign an Employee to harvest the artifacts from the Anomaly. They will instantly be added to your HUD as they are harvested


Obsidian Ruins


  • These Ruins contain higher tier resources than normal Ruins. If you’ve been slow to get started on your resource processing, snagging one of these will net you some tier II or III resources quickly and painlessly. They’re a bit pricier to claim, however.


Monument Center


  • You can now build a special Monument Center on top of any Monument that you’ve claimed
  • As long as this building is online and fully staffed, your influence cap will be permanently increased


Large Ruins Functionality


  • You can now survey, salvage and extract Large Ruins
  • They contain significantly more resources and artifacts than regular Ruins


Device List Update


  • We’ve been wanting to update the device list look and UX for some time. Now, all devices are in Categories that can be expanded and closed at will. We also have much bigger thumbnails so players have a better idea of what the devices look like before placement.
  • Please let us know what you think!


New Inert Ruin Type


  • Vision-increasing Ruin - activating this ruin will enable you to see into the Fog of War, helping you plan your expansion. You’ll still need to build Command Centers to claim new territory.
  • Added overlay activation to Inert Ruins - selecting a battery or fuel Inert Ruin will now display the correct overlay


Watch out - there’s a new Rebel Leader on the map!


  • Szoren Gorak is leader of the Breakers, an organization of Rebels loosely affiliated with the Cobra Rebels (led by Bahar). He, too, despises the Council and their ways, and is a master of persuasion in getting others to join his cause.
  • You can read more about Szoren in the Codex!
  • The Rebel Leader you’re dealing with is randomized each new game


Misc.


  • Removed the Fuel Used stat from Transport Hub as it was not adding value to gameplay
  • 🪐 Added extra UI to locked hulls to make it more obvious that they are locked
  • 🪐 Added a button for ‘open directory’ to Photo Mode
  • Did a pass on all button tooltips to make sure they displayed their hotkey correctly. If you’ve been hoping for a specific hotkey to be added to the game make sure you check out the settings - we have quite a few there already!
  • We’ve changed the way Tutorials work - they are now per game instead of in settings.


Fixes as of 0.16.2


  • Fixed trucks getting stuck when bringing Employees to the shipyard if they were going to build a ship (this is not a retroactive fix, sorry!)
  • Some visual issues still occur
  • Fixed Full flag not being displayed if a resource was completely filtered out of storage
  • Fixed ships waiting for Crew forever if an Employee died on the way to the crew pod
  • Fixed Timed Contract mode not working correctly on Epic
  • Fixed jukebox defaulting to automatic when reloading a game
  • Fixed music volume not resetting its state when moving from Shipyard to another building via the shortcut menu
  • Fixed speaker portrait not returning to the correct character if going back to the previous speaker during a two-character dialog
  • Fixed a handful of crashes
  • Fixed cancel shortcut not working until the right tile of a device was selected
  • Fixed duplicate descriptions of Osprey and Heron ships
  • Fixed devices disabled due to waste incorrectly showing a ‘not enough energy’ flag
  • Fixed zoom/minimap UI elements displaying over Citizen panel
  • Fixed some instances of wording not being consistent between UI elements
  • Fixed some overflowing UI in certain buttons
  • Fixed some inconsistencies with draining battery flags
  • Fixed jukebox not playing music in Manual mode
  • Fixed Employees getting stuck in their walking animations when pausing and resuming device construction or dismantle jobs
  • Fixed crew not getting unassigned from a ship correctly if their next job was to become crew on a different ship
  • Fixed enable/disable shortcut not working on buildings outside of command range
  • Fixed some missing strings
  • Fixed max influence not updating correctly until the game was unpaused after loading
  • Fixed ugly text resizing in build menu
  • Fixed tooltip in HUD disappearing if you clicked on credits
  • Fixed being unable to select a new grid from the HUD if any tile was selected in the city
  • Fixed repair button remaining highlighted after a building was fully repaired
  • Fixed Spaceport displaying ‘not enough storage’ incorrectly (should have displayed ‘not enough living space’)
  • Fixed progress bar on resource patch appearing empty on load
  • Fixed checkbox SFX triggering incorrectly on load
  • Fixed rebel attacks not shooting in a straight line occasionally
  • Fixed some incorrect triggers in tutorial
  • Fixed turret range VFX not disappearing if selecting a building that triggers an overlay
  • Fixed camera getting stuck when clicking on minimap and entering a building at the same time

Council Report #2: Anomaly Detected

Greetings Founder,

I hope you've been well since my last report. As you know, Artifacts are very important to the Council. These Artifacts allow us to rapidly advance our research and make consistent new discoveries here on Titan. In our last update to you for example, we discovered a way to activate inert ruins, which has opened up a whole new world of possibilities.

Well, we've made even more discoveries since then that will not only help you uncover more Artifacts for the Council, but put your Artifacts to use in more ways. The Council wants us to do a little more research before we can permit you to utilize these in your city-corporation, but I have been granted permission to share with you a little sneak peek at what's to come.

New Discoveries



Obsidian Ruins





We have been finding these Obsidian Ruins around Titan lately. They appear to be constructed of higher quality resources, and they are visually distinct from the typical ruin you find around here. Does this mean the previous civilization had a refining process, the same as ours? Or were the resources available on Titan better quality before the current medley of corporations settled here? I wonder if we'll ever know for sure...

Large Ruins




Our team has also finally made a technological breakthrough with the Large Ruins that will allow you to extract their secrets. As you might expect, Large Ruins contain a lot more resources and Artifacts than you'd typically find.

Monument Center





Speaking of mysterious ruins, have you seen these huge Monument Ruins? Well, the Council has just shared blueprints with us to build a Monument Center on top of them. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what goes on in there, and the Council is as secretive as ever about what goes on behind closed doors. Regardless, if you manage to construct one of these for them, you'll be sure to gain a lot more Influence with them.

Anomalies




We've also recently uncovered these strange Anomalies scattered around Titan. There are rumours that they are burial sites for the former civilization, but there is currently no substantiated evidence for this, so don't worry about extracting them. They are a good source of Artifacts if you choose to study them. These Anomalies are surprisingly delicate and would be destroyed by machines, so you'll want to dispatch your employees to get the job done.

These discoveries will be made widely available for corporate use on September 7, 2021 Pacific Time. What's that saying? The early bird gets the worm? Make sure you mark down the release date so you can put these discoveries to use before your enemies do.

[EDIT] Click HERE for experimental patch notes with these updates.

- Maddie, Council Representative

P.S. Here's our development roadmap again in case you missed it.

Patch 0.16.1

Fixes as of 0.16.1


  • Fixed a crash caused by rebels trying to upgrade a destroyed tile
  • Fixed first migrant ship lane not always having 4 citizens before a migrant ship has been purchased

Titan Tuesday: Patch 0.16.0


(Recipe for Ruin)



Changes as of 0.16.0


🪐 indicates changes due to community feedback!

Insert Inert Ruins


  • Some ruins, when surveyed, will now reveal functions apart from just containing Resources and Artifacts. For now, you can discover ruins that store Energy or Fuel or act as an Air Filter to remove pollution and Xethane (and sometimes a mix of two, if you’re lucky maybe even all three!) for your city
  • Once activated by spending Artifacts to research them, they will act like other buildings in your city. However, they cannot burrow
  • Even once activated, you can still salvage them for their original resource contents, but any artifacts they once contained are used up on activation
  • Inert Ruins will also do far more damage when destroyed by Rebels, so it’s wise to plan your city carefully around these useful but volatile structures

🪐 Ship Blueprints


  • UI is in the bottom left of the Shipyard View
  • From here you can save, apply and overwrite blueprints
  • Blueprints are saved on a per user basis, so no matter how many cities you start, you’ll be able to use the same blueprint every single time
  • Up to 5 blueprints per ship hull can be saved



Explorers of Titan


  • Two new map locations are now available to play!
  • Tranquil Trailblazing - more lakes, less Rebel camps, low Xethane and lots of rain
  • Chemical Enterprise - no lakes, lots of Xethane and Rebel camps, and no weather conditions
  • We’ve also added some colour overlays to all locations to give them more distinct identities and added specific weather conditions to some existing maps

Piece of Advice


  • We’ve moved the Advisors Panel to the top left next to all the other Management panels so that it’s easier to find and more accessible - remember you can access all kinds of extra gameplay tips and tricks by calling your Advisors, so give it a try!
  • Moved a gameplay tip from the Advisor system to the Linear Tutorial to better explain Job Priorities

Working Hard or Hardly Working?


  • Added a new flag to indicate that all your Employees are assigned to fulltime jobs or dedicated to a Job Category, to better communicate why no Employees are available to do other work
  • Unfortunately we will have to wait to localize the contents of this tooltip!

Filters are Friends


  • 🪐 Changed the UI panel of Storage Facilities and Containers - the filter settings are no longer hidden behind a button and are now instead listed on the UI panel

Fuel Up


  • Refactored some fuel storage code
  • Fuel stored in the Transport Hub can now also be used to power your Energy Plants if need be
  • Fuel from your Silos will also be used to fill your Transport Hub if need be

Red vs Blue (Polished up our Combat VFX!)


  • Player ships fire blue lasers instead of red lasers to help differentiate between shots
  • Combat view targeting reticles got a makeover and now display different colours depending on if they are being placed, charging or firing

Dismantle it All!


  • Moved the Dismantle All and Dismantle Mode UI to the bottom of the device list in Buildings and Shipyard

Miscellaneous


  • Framerate now defaults to 60fps instead of unlimited for new players, to improve performance. If you are having trouble maintaining a steady framerate consider changing your frame limit setting in Options
  • Updated the Codex

Fixes as of 0.16.0


  • Fixed device dismantle tooltip displaying the returned resources in tier 1, regardless of which tier was used to build the device
  • Fixed being unable to dock in a shipyard if there were more than two shipyards present and the player had the maximum number of ships allowed
  • Fixed destroying a Rock bigger than 1x1 after a save and load causing a hole in the map
  • Fixed an exploit allowing ships to target buildings from across the map
  • Fixed launch button not updating its visual state when selecting the shipyard after exiting
  • Fixed device UI changing to ‘dismantling’ if a dismantle was selected before selecting a construction
  • Fixed a crash occurring when a dismantle was ongoing in one shipyard and a construction was queued in a second shipyard
  • Fixed being allowed to build more than the max amount of ships
  • Fixed rebel claims and surveys leaving icons behind
  • Fixed ultra-wide monitors not showing their correct native resolutions in fullscreen mode
  • Fixed ship employee management panel not being closed when right clicking to dismiss
  • Fixed some more achievements triggering incorrectly
  • Fixed Rebel Turrets being allowed to attack player ships that were inside shipyards if they were within range
  • Fixed devices never being repaired if a Crew member died while assigned to repair that device
  • Fixed relay arcs being displayed on the enemy ship and never being dismissed if the Energy Overlay was viewed in Combat View
  • Fixed Life Support UI flickering on and off in some circumstances
  • Made a low risk fix to the freeze when placing Command Centers in truck-accessible tiles in very big cities with huge transportation networks. While this doesn’t resolve the issue completely it should significantly decrease the length of the freeze

Patch 0.15.3

Changes as of 0.15.3


🪐 indicates changes due to community feedback!
  • 🪐 Framerate now defaults to 60fps instead of unlimited for new players, to improve performance. If you are having trouble maintaining a steady framerate consider changing your frame limit setting in Options.
  • Halved the amount of Xethane filtered by Inert Purifiers
  • Added some information about Inert Ruins to our Codex!
  • Added localizations for some of our new features
  • There are still a couple lines that are not translated - these will be translated next month!


Fixes as of 0.15.3


  • Fixed a slowdown issue that occurred when changing currency tiers or storing resources in a Storage Facility that was selected and displaying it’s UI panel
  • Fixed devices never being repaired if a Crew member died while assigned to repair that device
  • Fixed relay arcs being displayed on the enemy ship and never being dismissed if the Energy Overlay was viewed in Combat View
  • Fixed Life Support UI flickering on and off in some circumstances
  • Made a low risk fix to the freeze when placing Command Centers in truck-accessible tiles in very big cities with huge transportation networks. While this doesn’t resolve the issue completely it should significantly decrease the length of the freeze
  • Fixed some instances of unlocalized strings not defaulting to English

Patch 0.15.2 and Beta Branch Info

Hello Founder,



So you're feeling a little experimental, are you? Well, you've come to the right place then. This update is for those who would like to play on the Experimental Branch (AKA beta, unstable, or test branch). Below, you can find information on the Experimental Branch and what to expect.

If you already know all this stuff or if you're not interested in playing on Experimental but want to know what we're working on, keep scrolling down for the patch notes.

What is the Experimental Branch?


The Experimental Branch is a beta test branch for Industries of Titan where you can play upcoming features, content and experiments that aren't yet (and may never be) ready for the Main Branch.

Why should I play on the Experimental Branch?


If you don't mind that certain aspects of the Experimental Branch may be less polished, you get to experience updates before everyone else! Testing on the experimental branch is a big help to our team and QA testers!

How can I play on the Experimental Branch?


Right click on Industries of Titan in your Library, and go to Properties. Click 'BETA' on the list and select the build from the drop down.

How often will you be updating the Experimental Branch?


We don't have a specific cadence for experimental updates. However, we do try to get at least one patch out on Experimental approximately a week or two before a Titan Tuesday! Experimental patches will vary depending on many factors though.

Where can I find Experimental patch notes?


For now, we plan to post all of our Experimental updates here on Steam like this, but even if this changes in the future, you can find all of our patch notes up on https://braceyourselfgames.com/industries-of-titan/updates.

How do I report issues or give feedback while playing on the Experimental Branch?


Please use the in-game bug reporter as usual!

Can I openly discuss/stream/create content based on the Experimental Branch?


Absolutely!

I have more questions!


Feel free to reach out on our forums, or join our Discord!

Thank you very much for supporting Industries of Titan! We are working hard to make sure we can get the game into a stable and fun place for 1.0, and you're a huge help!

TITAN TUESDAY: Patch 0.15.0

Hey Founders! It's the first Tuesday of the month, which means it's Titan Tuesday. However, since it's only been a few short weeks that we released on Steam, this isn't going to be your typical Titan Tuesday update. We're still working hard on August's content with Inert Ruins, but these last few weeks we focused largely on addressing the feedback that we've received from you since launch. That's what this update is about.

Industries of Titan is in Early Access, which means we are actively updating and adding new content based on our roadmap and your wonderful feedback. You can expect the next Titan Tuesday update on August 3rd, 2021 at 11:00AM PST. See the full patch notes below!

Changes as of 0.15.0

  • Auto Currency

Advisor Reviser

To Map it All Off

Intro Cinematic


  • 🪐 Added subtitles in English for our Intro Cinematic
  • Sorry, we are still waiting on translation for other languages!
  • 🪐 Added a Cinematic Volume slider to Audio settings
  • Added support to try and solve audio from intro cutscene not being cancelled when players with lower-spec machines were launching the game

General Updates


  • To improve stability we’ve removed the in-game patch notes display in favour of linking to our website. Clicking on the button will now open your browser.
