Abiotic Factor

The Universe ExpandsThe PraetoriumYou’re deep within enemy territory now… When science becomes indistinguishable from the supernatural, the Order comes down hard. Will you make it through the depths of this ancient facility? Welcome to Residence SectorWhere you would have resided, no doubt, had certain spectacular events not occurred before you could get settled into your new role at the GATE Cascade Research Facility. A chill has been creeping through the Residences, bringing with it enemies well adapted to the cold. And since we’re talking about low Kelvins, you too will need to adapt through both scientific and…. unconventional means.... And Beyond?There is more ahead, but we really must hold back. We will say no more about the end of the main adventure. That story is a gift from us - and yours to unwrap. The Enhancement BenchOne of our most important new systems which address several pieces of feedback from our scientific community.Certain types of weapons, armor, shields and backpacks are able to be upgraded at the new, invent-able Enhancement Bench! This recipe can be accessed around Manufacturing Sector, and we spoke about it at length in the 1.0 Refresher Guide for Tenured Scientists.New AmorMany new armors have become available - including some that have long been sought by scientists. But you’ll have to figure out how to collect (or create) all the different sets on your own. We’re just the messenger, really. CubiclesYou, as a scientist, already know that lumber is hard to come by in an office setting and the little useful wood that you have found seems a touch cursed, so not the greatest building material. With a little crafty workmanship Grid SnappingCubicles support grid-snapping. We will investigate further grid-snapping possibilities at a later time, when we are less overburdened with scientific endeavors.Database TerminalThe Database Terminal is your home computer, really. It currently just has two applications - the Email system, to check your emails in the comfy safety of your own home and without needing to use a clunky tablet. (Sorry - GATEPal. We meant Clunky GATEPal.)The second application is the Item Manager, which will allow you to peruse all of your local containers and pull items from them at will. Yes, it’s quite powerful. Let us know how it goes! Slaving Over a Hot StoveAbout time chefs got some respect, huh?Along with the SUPER STOVE 4000 (is that really what we called it?), there’s also a new craftable cabinet for warming items - or keeping warm items warm. Display your food or melt some ice cream, whatever you want, you’re the chef here.

NEW UPDATE - 0.9.0 - \"Crush Depth\"Beyond The LabsThe story continues in the GATE Cascade Research Facility - first with a bold journey into the dark gauntlet of Security Sector and then a big splash in the watery Hydroplant! Each locale - and other worlds beyond - contain new resources, enemies, and [REDACTED]!For obvious reasons, that is pretty much ALL we will say about the new locations. We want you to experience and explore at your own pace and without any preconceived notions about what to do, where to go, or how to conduct your scientific progress. And yes, you can continue your existing saves if you want - though you might find a few changes throughout the early game too, especially with the new boon of Fishing and whatnot.We hope you enjoy exploring these new Sectors and portal worlds as much as we enjoyed building them. And don’t forget to bring a flashlight.FishingNeed a break from the day-to-day mad science? Tired of the same old Pest-burger? Grab some office supplies, cobble together a Makeshift Fishing Rod and cast your line! The new Fishing skill can be leveled to unlock fishing-related recipes and increase your general skill in acquiring those feisty fish. With fishing also comes a whole new bait system (simply hold your Reload key to add bait to a rod) and many new ways to get certain resources - and a few new things you may not expect. And you better believe that Reload feature is a sign of things to come.One thing you can expect is fish. You will get fish when fishing. Usually. Different fish can be caught in different types of water, and there’s even a few sneaky variants that may lurk below. As with most things in the GATE Cascade Research Facility, we’ll leave the thinking up to you.
