  Update 2 preview – Introducing Streamer mode

  In this final preview post for Adaptory Update 2, I’m excited to round up the reveals with a small expansion to Adaptory’s story, and a new way to play the game…Naming the planetAfter a few days of surviving this unexplored planetoid, your explorers will want to give this planet a name! You can enter in any name you want, or use the random planet name generator (I’ve always wanted to make one of these! :D).Explorers will refer to the planetoid name in conversations, diary entries, and major events.We need to fix this ship(Spoilers ahead)In Update 2, you need to research and craft three new unique items at the constructor to be able to reuse the crashed ship as a distress beacon:The astrometric sensor, crafted from glass, gold, and data chips;The fuel cell, crafted from graphite, bitumen, oxycans, and insulation; andThe spline reticulator, crafted from iron, diamond, and artefacts.You’ll need to create at least one of each item for the distress beacon to complete the story in Update 2. (At higher difficulty levels, you’ll need two or more.)Streamer modeStreamer mode is a new, experimental way to play Adaptory for streamers and content creators. You can now directly connect your chat or community to Adaptory, and they can directly trigger benefits, challenges, and all sorts of havoc. I’ve been wanting to add this into Adaptory for a long time now :DThere are more than 50 commands available, and you can choose what commands to support, when, and how they’re triggered – perhaps with Streamer.bot, ActionBot, FireBot, or anything else really. ZeppyGame has also put together a handy integration guide – thank you very much Zeppy

  Update 2 preview – Things are heating up

  In this second of three preview posts for Adaptory Update 2, let’s talk about the “temperature” part of The Temperature Update!Adaptory's updated temperature overlay (F3) in a chilly worldExplorer and building temperaturesJust like every object in the game, your explorers absorb and conduct body heat with their local environment, and in Update 2, they are much more sensitive to temperature:If their body temperature is within the comfort range (20~30 °C), explorers will feel fine and dandy. If their body is outside of that range, they will become upset. Explorers’ temperatures will naturally converge to the midpoint of this range.If their body temperature is within the safety range (10~40 °C), explorers can still do errands, but they’ll be upset. Outside of that range, explorers will actively stop what they’re doing, run away to safety, and they’ll throw a temperature tantrum to rapidly heat themselves up or cool themselves down.Explorers will try to avoid or do any personal errands inside any cell that is outside the extreme range (-10~60 °C). (No more writing diary entries in magma!)An explorers’ body temperature will tend towards neutral (25 °C) naturally through thermostasis, and will be affected by the temperature and thermal conductivity of their surroundings. For example, if they’re sitting in a puddle of cold water, their body temperature will rapidly decrease. The rate of thermostasis can also be affected by your game's difficulty level.Most buildings now also have operating temperature ranges, and will automatically shut down if their temperatures are outside of a safe range. (Building operating temperatures are not enabled on the relaxed difficulty level.)With explorer and building temperatures, I’ve tried to make temperature management and interactions meaningful, without being frustrating or irrelevant. I think we’ve found a really good balance, but I’d love to hear your feedback. Balance is tricky!Shern is having a temperature tantrum to try and cool do...
