- Various Updates - 6 January 2017
Hi everyone! It looks like the Kickstarter updates aren't being mirrored here. Below are the last few updates on the project: June 2016 update about Steam Bandits: Safari: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iocainestudios/steam-bandits-outpost-0/posts/1611549 November 2016 update with Safari project video: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iocainestudios/steam-bandits-outpost-0/posts/1743273 I think I mentioned it before, but everyone that owns Outpost will get a free copy of Safari. Most of the Outpost content will be rolled into the other games, so what you're playing now will eventually be gone/absorbed into SB: Tactics or Safari. - Jason

- Update 0.5.8 is out! - 8 December 2015
Patch Notes - Beta1: 0.5.8 - 12/1/2015 Crop farming has been added! This is a pretty big feature and still VERY rough around the edges. Please see this forum post for details on how it all works: https://www.steambanditsoutpost.com/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/928/crop-farming-and-you Added a new trade mission for selling your crops for gold. The interface for this is a bit different (and pretty temp). Clicking on the mission cost icon will open up a panel to select which crops to pack for the mission. You can now rename your island and select which music track plays for people visiting your island. Click on the icon next to your island name to open up the Island Settings panel. Removed a bunch of old resources and replaced them with the new stuff. We’re still transitioning to the new resource system, so expect crafting/harvesting to still have temp stuff for now. Added a new NPC to R…

- Update 0.5.5 is out! - 16 September 2015
Patch Notes - Beta1: 0.5.5 - 9/9/2015 New Stuff Player skills are in! You can now gain skills doing various things. Right now it’s mostly gathering stuff. Mining nodes, fabric nodes, and mineral nodes (for glass) have been placed around Griffin’s Roost and Rivets Aisle. First phase of resource refining added to harvester buildings. This will be a work in progress over a few patches. More details on the full plan will be in the forums! You can now store buildings and move them to your other islands. To store a building, start moving it and click on the Storage button (looks like a backpack next to the other movement buttons). You can place buildings from storage by accessing your main inventory. Added click-and-hold controls. Hold your mouse down and watch your character move! Free-cam mode has been added back in when you’re on your island. To unlock the camera, click on the camera icon…

- Update 0.5.1 is out! - 28 May 2015
Patch Notes - Beta1: 0.5.1.860 - 5/27/2015 New Stuff The new face style has been applied. Let us know what you think! First phase of the desktop UI is in! You should notice smaller buttons for stuff based on your screen size. You can now reset your character manually in the Options panel. No more waiting for Jason to get around to it in the forums :-) A new vendor has been added to Runner’s Rest! Milly will sell contracts for followers you haven’t yet recruited. Her list is short, but will grow with future patches. An Announcements window has been added to the main menu. This will help us keep you up to date with the latest news. A stubbed out version of the intro is in. Right now it can only be accessed from the main menu. In future patches, there will be some better visuals and voice over for it. Stuff that will be in a future patch Crop farming/harvesting. Proper crafting items. Righ…

- Patch 0.4.5 is out! - 5 February 2015
Patch Notes - Beta0: 0.4.5.392 - 1/29/2015 New Stuff Lots of tutorial/prologue changes. Captain Harquin redesigned Combat abilities now come in 3 flavors: Instant, Turn, and Charged. Instant abilities will not consume your turn. Turn abilities consume your turn. Charged abilities are pretty strong, consume your turn, trigger after a charge-up time, and can be interrupted by other abilities (bosses use these a lot, so interrupting them is a good strategy) Added combat conversations for more story hooks during fights. Added the Walkie Talkie to allow characters to remotely phone the player. This is currently only used by Jonas, but we’ll be using this all over the place eventually ;-) The camera is now locked to the player while in their town (similar to Animal Crossing). The camera still is unlocked when placing buildings. Clicking on something no longer moves you to it. Clicking on it a…

- New Patch: Beta0: 0.4.0.171 is up and running! - 20 November 2014
New features: • Combat Update: Faster Fights, Cooler abilities, slicker UI, monsters updated • Level cap raised to 19. • The Atmid Survey Platform is a new area available to players ~ level 18. • Tonics have been added! A tonic can be used for healing, or restoring energy, and some do both. Currently you can only find these from loot, but future patches will allow you to craft them and purchase them from vendors. • Island Beacons have been added! Right now you only get one during the prologue, but we’ll be adding A LOT more for the Beta1 patch. Once a beacon is activated, you can travel to the island it’s pointing to. If a beacon hasn’t been activated, you’ll be able to trade it with other players. • Tier0 resources and been changed to Tier1 resources. This change won’t be too noticeable unless you had a lot of Tier0 resources before (they have ‘_OLD’ at the end of their name now). You…
