New Location: The Factory

After two months of work we proudly present the next location - the Factory, an abandoned industrial complex sitting between the Pit and the Habitat (your current destination).

“Before the Mutiny, a rail system suspended high in the Factory's metal canopy would deliver citizens to the dismal warehouses and distribution facilities where they spent their working days. Not surprisingly, that's where the revolt started, quickly spreading throughout the Ship. The factories were looted and stripped for parts, the railway blown up to cut off the Mission Control from the Habitat and prevent reinforcements from pouring in.

Within a few decades, the Factory had been mostly abandoned until growing trade between the Pit and the Habitat turned it into a new Silk Road...”

It features a fun three-way between Thy Brother's Keepers, The Black Hand, and Detroit City, which can end in five different ways.

Right now you can fight or talk your way through. A stealth path will be added in July (if you played our first game, think infiltrating Antidas' palace, only in turn-based stealth mode).

Notable changes:

Ya. The update was kinda small but overall the few fights in there were quite challenging. It's pretty much combatfag's paradise, there's a lot of room for experimentation.

Vault Dweller Are you not going to do CSG Updates on the Iron Tower forums anymore?

 

[Vault Dweller]

I will, too tired now. It was easier before, any news is news, sort of, if only to assure we're still alive and working on the game. Now it's redundant as anyone who's playing the game can see the updates and the changes. Even those who're merely curious about the game can get more info on Steam: the reviews, the updates and patches, etc.

Can you speed up the animations now?

I hope more stuff is added to the factory, like exploration and long forgotten corridors and such. Also in the future, will you be able to reach the Habitat through hydroponics and not go through factory?

 

[Vault Dweller]

There will be more exploration but not much more due to the time constraints. To open another way into the Habitat you'd have to clear two other zones in Hydroponics (not available now), so all characters would have to go through the Factory first.
