Hello all,
Thanks for checking out our 33rd alpha devblog! Some of you might be new here so thanks much for the support! We’ve continued sorting through found issues in 1.6 while developing our 1.7 and 1.8 patches. This week we'll just be showcasing a few quick images showcasing our 1.8 graphical update and also a short video previewing the 1.7 solo/server experience. Work continues on on our electric grid and global design. While Andre and Jos are cracking along on the 1.8 update, James has made some great progress with our server/solo release.
Power Grid and Global Design
Jos has continued developing our power grid system. Power lines will make for some exciting future gameplay, once our power plant is up and running. In the mean time they'll provide great atmosphere and guidance. Jos has also added quite a few more log cabins in the path of power lines, we will be adding more structures in coming builds to fill out our wild areas.
The team continues to develop the 1.8 patch, you'll notice many texture updates along with the addition of new props. Lighting is a big factor in this update and last week we showcased some interior lighting, this week you'll find a few exterior shots below.

A Quick Solo Preview
We've spent some time testing and working on solo/hosting this week. Below is just a quick clip of JB adjusting settings and joining a solo play session.
Merch Shop!
While we're currently unable to sell merch in house which is what we would ideally love to one day do. We have opted into a 3rd party seller Teespring to provide those that have requested it the ability to pick up some cool merch and help out the team.
Thanks for the continued support and continued issue and suggestion reporting
