Welcome to week 143

This week, we introduce a new growable plant: Sugarcane, which can be purchased as Seeds in the Orbital Workshop. Fully grown Sugarcane can be ground down in the Mortar and Pestle to make the newest ingredient on Icarus, Sugar.

With the addition of sugar comes new recipes and Candy, a new food group that doesn’t count towards the total active food buffs but provides small situational buffs for escaping dangerous situations.

We’ve also got a quick snapshot of what’s to come next week, and where you’ll find it nesting.

Jump in and have a read.

• Aluminum buildables have received a LOD pass, meaning there are no more black lines that ascend when viewed from a distance
  
• Added a new master glass material and reworked all the current glass BLD materials, to reduce the excessive amounts of fog that could be seen through the glass
  
• Adjusted the weight and curve of throwing a grenade to a more accurate motion. We’ve also balanced this against other throwables for cohesion and synced it better with the audio speed
  
• Turrets will no longer attempt to shoot a target if they don't have a line of sight (e.g. behind solid walls)
  
• Upped the stack size of kiwifruit to 100 to match most other harvested small fruits/veggies

---

Sugarcane seed packets can now be purchased from the Orbital Workshop, and subsequently grown on the surface of Icarus. Fully matured sugarcane can then be harvested and ground into sugar using your Mortar and Pestle.

Sugar allows us to expand our food choices in the game, providing different alternatives with new buffs that facilitate new ways to play, just as the previous addition of salt did.

The beauty of adding Sugar is that it also allows us to explore other chemical applications and how food groups behave with this compound. The obvious area we may experiment with in the future is fermentation.

---

We have added a few new sugar-based recipes: an Energy Bar crafted on the player, Salted Caramel Pastry and Caramel berry Tarts craftable on the Biofuel Stove, and Chocolate Chip and Coconut Cookies craftable on the Electric Stove.

All of these sugar-based recipes provide a boost to the charge speed of bows and the reload speed of guns, making them an excellent choice for enhancing ranged combat.

We’ve also added two new recipes for Strawberry Hard Candy and Watermelon Lollipops, which give you a short buff to movement speed and penalty reduction for being over-encumbered, respectively.

Candy won’t take up any food buff slots, allowing them to be used on top of other foods, countered obviously by the shorter window of effectiveness. Think of them as a get-out-of-jail-free card for those sticky situations when you need to hot-foot it.

---

As mentioned in previous weeks, the NullSector (our Free Prometheus Expansion) will include new Operations, a new exploration mechanic, new mutated creatures, and one new giant creature.

We are still actively working on the NullSector, with some big mission revamps in the works, more narrative, more dialogue, and more missions to provide the experience it deserves.

This region is not for the faint of heart. All the adjustments and differences are geared towards this being a hardcore survival challenge, so make sure you enter it prepared.

Next week, we plan to introduce a new creature that emerges from nests in Arctic zones. This creature will come with its own trophy, bestiary entry, and new resource type that will offer an alternative to some existing recipes.

This week's update continues our trend of introducing small improvements and new content from our recently concluded project clinic.

Two features deserve special mention - our new corner stair pieces and changes to crafting shotgun ammo.

Our NullSec work has also progressed since the conclusion of the project clinic. We also have a small update on this below.

---

• Improved performance by removing tick cost from spline networks and reducing building base tick.
  
• General lighting optimizations have been implemented to improve performance
  
• You can now drop items into the Medical Satchel, Seed Pouch, and Farmers Bag by dragging an item on top of them
  
• When a Medical Satchel, Seed Pouch, and Farmers Bag is in your hotbar, you can right-click to open it
  
• Updated the Icons for fuel slots so that if it accepts any container with a specific resource, a new symbol will be shown (this includes new icons for all resource types)
  
• Added a new exotic exchange button to convert Red Exotics into Ren at a rate of 7:1
  
• Added a new Portable Biofuel Tank that holds 150L of biofuel
  
• Updated the reinforced & basic glass textures to remove some of the unintended fog effect shown in various situations
  
• The Upgrade function on repair hammers now include ‘reinforced glass’ in their list
  
• Adjusted Explosive Ammo Crafting to use 1 Volatile Substance per 5 ammo instead of 1:1
  
• Battery Powered Lanterns now will stay lit underwater

---

These stairs allow for vertical traversal using the same space as a half piece but in an L formation. This new piece should offer multiple new ways to build bases, allowing for more intricate designs.

These are available in refined wood & stone options as variants on the existing ramp and half-piece kits as part of the existing research sets.

Expect more material options for corner stairs in the future.

---

We have also revamped the way shotgun ammo is crafted. Instead of all shotgun ammo requiring general ammo casings, a new item - shotgun cartridges - has been added in their place. These are crafted with 1 Copper Ingot and 3 Epoxy to produce 5 shotgun cartridges.

The shotgun slug recipe has been split out, so now you don't need to craft it using a buckshot round. This change eliminates an unnecessary crafting step and streamlines the process of creating the ammo.

The higher-tier ammo (Obsidian, Cold Steel, Miasmic, Incendiary) is still crafted using buckshot, as it is fired as a buckshot round with an added effect.

---

As mentioned in previous weeks, the NullSector will include new map areas, new operations, a new exploration mechanic, new mutated creatures, and one new giant creature for owners of the New Frontiers expansion.

This region is not for the faint of heart. All the adjustments and differences are geared towards this being a hardcore survival challenge, so make sure you enter it prepared.
