Industries of Titan Update I: All Roads Lead to Titan

2nd June 2020

No matter where you go, your destiny is on Titan, Founder. Shall we head down this road together?

 

It’s been a long road since the Industries of Titan Early Access launch back in April, and our team is super excited to bring you this first major content update. The patch is now live on the main branch in the Epic Games Store.

Patch Highlights:

  • Transportation Hub: Transportation and roads are here!

  • Jukebox: You can now enjoy some Titan tunes with the Jukebox.

  • Better Waste Management: You can place blueprints on top of Waste in both City and Building view

  • Mine More Minerals: Mines can now be used to mine Resource Patches.

  • And much more!

You can expect another major update on next Titan Tuesday, July 7th. See the full patch notes below!

 

Changes as of 0.1.14

  • Transportation is here!
    • Two new buildings, Transport Hub (a place to store your Trucks) and Roads (self explanatory)
      • Trucks can carry a maximum of 5 resources of a single type, but only one type of resource at a time
      • Trucks currently function like fuel – they teleport to where they’re needed. We will be changing how this works in a future update.
  • Trucks cannot be used to gather resources from a Resource Patch currently – this will be changed in a future update
  • Enjoy some Titan tunes with the Jukebox!
    • Two modes – Automatic, which chooses what to play for you, and Manual, where you can control what you listen to
    • A brand new track, WARNING
    • A new Combat track now plays when you’re under attack, which will interrupt your Jukebox – don’t worry, it’ll pick up where it left off
  • Place blueprints on Waste in both City and Building view
    • Plan your city far in advance by placing buildings and devices on tiles that are otherwise occupied by Waste or excess Resources. Your workers will have to clean up that excess and Waste before construction can start.
    • Speed up construction by placing your Buildings on tiles that already contain the costs of construction
  • Mines can now be used to mine Resource Patches. Also added a flag indicating your Mine is not in range of any Mineable tiles
  • Save versioning – warning about incompatibility will only display when your save file is actually incompatible with the newest version
    • Additionally, we prevent save files from newer versions of the game showing up in older versions of the game, to prevent guaranteed crashes
  • Titan Tuesday countdown on the main menu – now you’ll always know when the next big update is dropping!
  • Plenty of new SFX – menus, buildings, UI, explosions!
  • Added newly processed voice for Urlan Fletch, your Spaceport Operator
  • Updated the look of a couple UI elements – Claim button is now white, Ruins Survey flags have been updated for better readability, and also added some new Migrant Ship descriptions and images to spice up the Spaceport
    • Added flags to indicate which jobs are Paused, Prioritized, and queued for Dismantle
    • Also added more information about your performance to the Win/Lose screen 
  • Added visual variants of Mineral Nodes and LV2 Ruins 
  • Factories and Headquarters now display exterior Waste like Residential and Conversion Center buildings to help you know when your Building Floors are filling up with waste
  • Guaranteed that the starting area contains the resources necessary to complete the tutorial
  • Began supporting lower resolutions with better UI 

Thanks to Community Feedback:

  • Control your Employees with even more efficiency
    • Two modes – Simple mode, for broad changes to your City priorities, and Advanced mode, for deciding if Isotopes get delivered before Minerals, Devices constructed before Buildings, and more
  • Prioritize Jobs
    • You can bump specific jobs to the top of the queue by prioritizing them without having to change your whole City priority. Useful for getting that Defensive Turret constructed before the Rebels come calling!
  • Personalize your City by renaming your Headquarters, Factories, and even your Employees! You can also rename individual floors within your Headquarters and Factories
  • Waste generation on the blue edge tiles of your Building floors. This will give you a bit more wiggle room when your devices are generating waste before things shut down
  • Fast transition camera setting for players who are in and out of Buildings often
  • Storage Facilities with contents can be dismantled, as long as another storage location exists. Also, the last Storage Container can be dismantled if a Storage Facility exists
  • Added a way to hide the Rebel Camps Remaining/Next Attack Timer

  • Approximately 70+ bug fixes to all the features we’ve added, plus an additional 50-70 behind the scenes (for a more complete list of issues we fixed regarding new features, see patch notes for versions 0.1.10.7 through 0.1.)
