Space Engineers: Contact on October 14

Space Engineers: Contact on October 14

October 12, 2024

The newest DLC and accompanying update to the space construction game Space Engineers has now got October 14 as its launch date.

As the name suggests, this DLC’s focus is on making space a bit more populated. This means there are new Global Encounters as well as Planetary Encounters to expect. Also a whole brand new faction in the form of The Factorum. Makers of a competely new technology.

This new tech consists of a number of new types of blocks such as Prototech Components, Prototech Assembler and a Prototech Refinery, to only name a few. And what’s really new with all this Prototech stuff is that it’s obtainable only from encounters.

As usual, parts of the new content will be added as a free update while the new blocks will be for DLC owners only to build. As per the usual Keen Software policy there will be no need for all the participants in a multiplayer game to own the DLC, only the host.

No, no super-strength mod was involved. This was accomplished with only an unloading bale wagon and a slightly low roof overhang.

The map is the Terralife Paligney mod map in case anyone wonders.

I am not sure if this is something that was added recently, but this is as far as I can recall the first time I’ve got stuck behind a slow-moving tractor in American Truck Simulator.

The location is a highway in Arkansas, by the way.

Charing Cross station. All aboard.

Actually I should just have stayed underground…

Oh yes. This is England, no doubt about it.

New Mack truck added in ATS

New Mack truck added in ATS

September 14, 2024

Right in time for their launch of the Arkansas DLC, SCS Software has added yet another truck to the American Truck Simulator stable.

This time it is the Mack Pinnacle which will join the line-up of Mack Anthem trucks ingame and is a free addition to the game. It will show up as soon as the 1.51 version of the game is installed.

The Mack Pinnacle will be available in all the classic three cabin variants (Day Cab, 48-inch Flat Top Sleeper and 70-inch StandUp Sleeper), several chassis and length options (6×2, 6×2 Liftable Pusher and 6×4), and with three engine options ranging from 415hp to 505hp.

Introduced in 2006, the Pinnacle is the successor of the Mack Vision. Currently, the product line is sold in the United States and Canada even if a similar version also is marketed in parts of South America.

In addition to the Mack Pinnacle, the 1.51 patch of the game will also add the  Limited Edition Mack Black Anthem®, which sports a blacked-out exterior trim package and other additional interior features. In the real world only 500 of this version was made, so it will definitely be easier to get your hands on it ingame where it will be available at all Mack salespoints.

Farming Simulator – now with real weather

Farming Simulator – now with real weather

August 21, 2024

There’s a new batch of news from Giants Software regarding their upcoming Farming Simulator 25.

The highlights this time? Cute baby animals and challenging weather.

This new gameplay trailer clearly shows off some of the in my mind quite big improvements in the new Farming Simulator.

Getting several stages of animal growth visualized is a nice addition to the animal handling and – hopefully – also hints of other changes in this department. Plus did I mention they are severely cute?

The other big addition is in my opinion even bigger though. According to Giants, there will now be a possibility – or maybe the correct word to use is risk – for both tornadoes and hail storms. Both of which may damage both crops, trees and maybe even buildings. But don’t worry. If you for some reason don’t want such challenges in your quiet, chill farmlife, they will be able to toggle off.

In fact the car was even more impressive than that. Right when I turned into the parking lot, that car jumped up into the air and rolled over. Guess it must be one of those new self-driving, smart AI ones.

Or maybe it only wanted to get belly scritches.

FS25 news at FarmCon

July 4, 2024

The yearly FarmCon is happening in Germany and that also means that we get some new information on Giants’ upcoming Farming Simulator 25. This includes a nearly half-hour long video which shows the first actual gameplay footage.

Included is the first look on how rice is cultivated and harvested, and in that process we also get to see an rice planter from the Japanese brand Iseki. Since rice is now a thing I suspect that brand will feature more prominently in FS25 than it ever did in Farming Simulator 22.
