Xsyon: Prelude
Developer Update 06.26.2015
Welcome Stations will allow new players to spawn at active tribe centers. The stations also allow players to apply for tribe membership and for tribes to manage, accept and reject tribe applicants without direct interaction, facilitating tribe growth.
Full details are posted on the Xsyon website in the Welcome Station Feedback Thread
Infirmaries also continue to be in testing. All players are welcome to join in the Infirmary Feedback Thread
These are ready for final testing and nearly ready to go live. I look forward to the creation of active town centers built around these upcoming uses!
Developer Update 06.22.2015
Full details are posted in the Infirmary Feedback Thread
Next up, the Welcome Station feature will be in final testing this week. The Welcome Station will allow tribes to set up a specific building as a starting point for new players, where they can post a message and apply to join the tribe.
I'm looking forward to the creation of active tribe centers taking advantage of these new building uses!
Both the Infirmary and Welcome Station are ready to patch pending final tests. Other minor but important updates are ready and I will post regarding those this week.
I've also received the final AI code revisions and clarifications from the original coder, though much of his code will likely end up scrapped and replaced by code that I've been working on. I'm currently testing improved path finding and have done a lot of AI research these past few weeks. It's coming along well and I hope to finally put some of the creature updates to public tests by early next week.

Xsyon's Trade Update Released!
Earlier this month, we continued to enhance the architecture system with more new parts. The updated featured a new beam system that increases the flexibility of the truss support system and allows for longer spans.
Today a big Trade update was patched out!
This patch features the first of many upcoming building functions, the Trading Post. Players designated Trading Posts to trade with ‘tribes beyond the mist’ to obtain valuable patterns, schemes and blueprints for crafting and building.
This update sets the stage for many upcoming building uses including infirmaries, welcome stations, taverns, craft workshops and toll gates. Along with the current commissaries, trade totems and quest totems, these building types will help players create active town centers to bring together players old and new.
In addition, player tribe run trade totems have been improved with search filters and a global view tab. Players can now search and locate any items for sale across the playable world from the comfort of their own tribe.
Full Patch Notes have been posted here and on the Xsyon site.
We're looking forward to increased player interactions and trade with this patch!
