Experimental Update v0.4.2.1
Hi Pioneers!
Hello again everybody, it’s been a while, today we’re releasing this patch for the Experimental version with a lot of things that might affect the modding community so we want to get some feedback on whether things are okay or not before we move it to the Early Access version.
There’s a few fixes that made its way over here because why not, but the focus is the modding related changes, if you’re comfortably playing and using mods you might want to stick to the Early Access version instead as this update might break them for a while.

Until next time, take care everybody <3

Update 4 is Out Now!
[previewyoutube="-Qd1yvk0CuQ;full"]
What's up!
Update 4 is now finally available on Early Access! This update is jam-packed with new content! So let me break it down for y'all!
If you're looking for the complete patch notes of the update then scroll to the bottom of the post!
Drones
Transporting things on conveyor belts is cool and all - but transporting things using drones is indisputably better, so we added that. Still, they wouldn’t let me stand on them though on account that it could interfere with the drone’s avionics. I don’t blame ‘em.
Drones are designed for long-range, low-capacity transportation and unlocks in tier 7 & 8. The drones are fully automated, traveling between two fixed ports and navigating themselves around any obstacles they encounter along the way.
Each port can only contain one drone but they move across the map extremely quickly and are far easier to set up than Trains, Belts, or Trucks. Drones require batteries as fuel and their consumption rate and travel speed become more efficient as delivery distances increase. They can’t carry much, but they’re doing their best.
Hover pack and Ziplines
But drones aren’t the only thing flying around! There’s new equipment pioneers from FICSIT Inc. can also utilize such as the brand-new hover pack to get a good overview of their production lines and build from a higher vantage point! Hover packs draws power from the power grid and doesn’t require any extra fuel to function. However, they’re not the fastest way to get around and explore with, but not everything’s a competition.
In addition to this there’s also a new tool called the zipline, used to zip around your power poles in your base!
Nuclear Power & New Buildings
We’ve extended the nuclear refinement processing the game to be able to produce Plutonium Fuel Rods. Not only that but there’s also a bunch of new buildings in the update that play an integral part in some of the nuclear production lines such as the blender, the particle accelerator, and the resource well pressurizer & extractor. But also, some that will improve the existing aspects of the game such as the power storage and power switch.
