ATLAS 244 Posted March 10, 2022 Ahoy Pathfinders! Last week, we unveiled our roadmap for the coming year in a short video briefly detailing our goals and what's in store for Atlas. Today, we are sailing forward with new content and some much needed maintenance as we look to prepare for our exit of early access later this year. Included in this patch is a new ship, UI improvements, a map adjustment, new content, and of course, major fixes to improve the gameplay experience. Need to transport your menagerie to a new location? Look no further than our latest vessel to join the fleet, the Pegasus. The Pegasus allows for Pathfinders to move their tames from island to island with ease. Carrying up to 30 tames, this ship can be constructed at the advanced shipyard and is a valuable addition to any crew. In response to player feedback, we've made a few UI adjustments to clarify the journey out on the open sea. We've added indicators on modular ships to help players identify the condition of each section as well as if there are any leaks. We've also reworked the overworld map, eliminating dropdowns and making navigating the map a little easier. We're also bringing in the new Industrial path for Wonders. With the new path, players will have new nodes to discover, new resources, new structures for harvesting, and even new weaponry for to craft - with even more content to come in future patches. Lastly, we are continuing to make improvements based on the wonderful feedback from our community. This patch we are making significant changes for not only the PC players, but are starting to address XBox-specific issues as well. We are not done yet, and are grateful for your patience and cooperation as we continue to improve the game. As always, we appreciate your support and ‘til next time, may your skies be clear, waters calm, and sails full in whichever way you roam. Servers will be going down on 3/10 at around 7:00 PM Pacific Time. Released Patch Notes v538.6 New Content New Modular Ship The Pegasus This is a new modular ship focused on transporting players’ tames. It is a 5 length ship built in the Advanced Shipyard once players have found blueprints for it. Blueprints can be found in shipwrecks. Unlocked in the Advanced Shipwright Skill It comes with 6 tame railings that can store 5 tames each (30 Total). Resources for a base version: Wood - 2500 Thatch - 2000 Fibers - 2000 Metal - 20 New Modular Ship UI We’ve added a popularly voted on request to the game in the form of additional UI for captains to know where leaks and damage is on their modular ships. There are 3 stages for durability: Green - Durability is good Yellow - Durability is moderate Red - Durability is poor If the portion of the ship is flashing, it means this area has a leak. We will look to make this UI element colorblind friendly in the future. Map Menu UI Visual Revamp The Atlas tab map UI has been revamped visually for an easier navigation of the regions. Instead of having dropdown tabs of the regions on the left, all regions available will be shown on one Overworld map. Players will be able to click and see all regions available on the overworld map. To get to the Overworld map click on the icon of the globe in the top left of your map screen. The region the player is currently in on the Overworld map is highlighted in green. Open Water Servers There is a new way to traverse through the atlas’ regions besides portals. There are now intermediate open water servers that connect regions to one another. There are no islands to be found here, just open seas and the treasure and dangers that come along with it. They are known as open waters and there are four of them within the world. They are connected through all sides of the Central Waters region. Depending on which cardinal direction the player goes through determines which region they travel to. Northern Sea - North Pole, Eastern Waters, Central Waters, Western Waters Eastern Sea - North Pole, Eastern Waters, Africa, Central Waters Southern Sea - Central Waters, Africa, Antarctica, South America Western Sea - North Pole, Central Waters, South America, Western Waters Industrial Wonder Content The industrial path of Wonders is slowly making its way into the Atlas. Transient and Static nodes for this path can be found and harvested exclusively within the Uncharted Sea region. Industrial Wonder: Power Nodes Transient Node - Geothermal Vents This transient node is similar to the Army of the Damned ones in that they have a time limit of one week before they deplete, despawn, and respawn at a different location, but they spawn more inland. Players will need to craft the new Ore Miner structure in order to harvest the resource of these nodes. These transient nodes produce a new resource type of coal: Brimstone Static Nodes There are two variants of Industrial static nodes - Lava vents and Sulfur pits. There is no need to create a harvesting structure for either as Pathfinders who’ve traveled here have built them already, but they seem to have perished. Lava Vents produce a new metal: Orichalcum. Sulfur Pits produce a new type of coal: Pure Sulfur Both of these resources are needed to craft new Industrial structures and gear now and in the future. Lava static nodes allow players to build the Industrial Smithy. Sulfur pit static nodes will get new crafting recipes in the future! New Craftables Ore Miner - harvests the resources of the industrial transient node only. Unlocked in the Metallurgy skill. Crafted in the smithy Resources Wood - 125 Thatch - 400 Fibers - 320 Metal - 360 Hide - 100 Stone - 1200 Industrial Smithy - The structure allows players to build Industrial Wonder specific content. Unlocked in the Metallurgy Skill. Crafted in the Lava Static nodes Resources Orichalcum - 100 Pure Sulfur - 60 Wood - 50 Brimstone - 50 Industrial Rifle - A rifle variant unique to this path that deals bleed additional damage Unlocked in the Secrets of Rifle skill Crafted in the Industrial Smithy Resources Ingot - 65 Orichalcum - 85 Pure Sulfur - 32 Flint - 30 Oil - 20 Industrialized Hydra Pistol - A pistol variant unique to this path that deals additional bleed damage Unlocked in the Revolvers skill.

Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed. As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support!

Cito 19 Posted March 10, 2022 Good effort, you complicated the heck out of this game though. if you really want some good feedback that will simplify this game and make it enjoyable for most folks hit me up. I stopped playing a while ago but have been monitoring the site on occasion in the hopes it will get better but looks like you just keep adding more stuff and it’s not working.

Chopa 28 Posted March 13, 2022 remove game because destroy modular ships, You didn't need to touch their speed, they don't have to sail on par with normal ships. They drown from 3 cannon balls, the only thing that gave them an advantage and saved them was speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was sailing from A3 to B3 in a brand new just built brig had a bare onboard and soon as I hit the grid line to roll over into B3 crash to desktop and I have tried over and over and over all day to log back in and keep getting the server time out message .

Freesert 2 Posted March 15, 2022 I’m popping around grids to beds and stuff. Sailing around doing maps. Apparently I’m 23, 38, 91, 43 and 102 years old. My discovery points keep changing and I’ve hit 3 complete zones with all the islands SA and both poles including most of the iceburgs half of Africa and most of eastern waters and I still don’t have my veteran explorer achievement back. Seriously. This game is just getting fucking stupidly broken. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
