The ‘Will of the Council’ is one of Worlds Adrift’s largest updates ever, second only to Update 27 aka ‘Foundations’. It brings many big features such as positional voice chat throughout the world, huge performance improvements that should see FPS going up considerably for everyone, customisation options to allow colouring and tweaking ship parts, plus a host of other improvements and expansions.
‘Will of the Council’ is the result of priorities elected by the Community Cloud Council (aka CCC -- a council made of Worlds Adrift players) in concert with the development team, who pulled no stops to implement such large changes to the game in record time in a bid to elevate the quality of Worlds to new heights. It’s a testimony of how much more we can achieve together, with the help of the players, in our goal of making Worlds Adrift the game we all dream of during its Early Access cycle.
There’s more to come, of course, as work on Update 30 and 31 is already underway. But for now, behold the gigantic full list of features below, jump into the game and experience it by yourself.
See you in the skies!
NEW FEATURES AND CONTENT
PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATIONS
NOTABLE BUGFIXES AND CHANGES
Disclaimer: Although some of the features were directly requested by the CCC, their implementations were studio-driven. The Council was largely consulted with on their experiences on many of the QoL issues.

That's why we decided to integrate it into Worlds Adrift.
This allows you to leverage the totally overhauled "Now Playing" section in a Discord user's profile to help people play your game together. Rich game data—including duration, current map, server, Alliance, and so much more—lives inside Discord.
To quote Discord - "Rich Presence is a living invitation to play together, or to watch your friends kick butt."
This is how it looked before:
Evolution (includes Alliance name, server (unless it's PTS), and crew!):
Stay connected, folks!
🎶On the 6th Day of Kahi...🎶 Variety of Ciphers!
Upgrade 29: Will of the Council brings you Ciphers to battle dependency on RNG!
These are devices players can slot into their schematics to raise certain stats at the cost of other stats.
They are acquired by salvaging unwanted procedural engine, wing, cannon, and swivel gun schematics, and apply to the same type of ship part they were salvaged from. Players acquire the ability to slot more ciphers into their schematics by progressing down the Knowledge tree and unlocking the cipher nodes.
Available to test on PTS now!
🎶On the 5th Day of Kahi... Things got really HEATED.🔥🔥🔥
Lo and behold! Overheat demystified!
