Hello again! Progress has been going well on Redrift:Redux, and there are some new features to talk about.
You can check it out here https://microman502.itch.io/redrift-beta-branch please give feedback on how it feels so far.
So firstly, there's the content - There's some new stuff, and some stuff in the works.
Auto Miners have been given a complete makeover, with a new tank-like design. They move and mine much slower, as well as costing much more to craft. However, this makes them much more balanced - rather than being a magical machine that can easily gather up every resource on an island, they need to take their time to slowly drill things.
"Solid" building pieces have been added - these have no gaps in them, but cost more resources to make, compared to their regular versions. They give a lot more variety to what style a build has.
Some resources are in the works, too - quartz, glass, gold, optical sensors. Most of these are pretty much un-implemented, so not much to say there.
Many technical changes have been made too. In gameplay, this amounts to a bit more polish and far less bugs.
As always, updates can be found on the Github, or Redlabs Discord.
