What's new in Early Access?
Thanks for your patience in waiting for the Early Access Release notes.
Overall the main goals for Early Access was to make the game more immersive and focus on playability and functionality over style and cosmetics.
Now you can walk direct from the Hub to the Radius, without any loading screen.
When the mission is complete you still need to make it back safely and sell your loot.
We want there to be a good feeling of challenge and struggle to survive. We realize this is going to take some balancing, and your feedback will really help us determine where that balance should be.
Same goes with the pricing and loot, we want to make sure that you're getting enough loot to survive, while making it a worthy challenge to find and profit from what you find in the Radius.
