PLANET CALYPSO VERSION UPDATE 10.2
2009-10-29
***PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT IF YOU FIND SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY IN PLANET CALYPSO! IT MIGHT PROVIDE THE INFO YOU NEED BEFORE CONTACTING THE SUPPORT DEPARTMENT!***
RESETTLEMENT UPDATE
A new scientific breakthrough has been made: a safe, practical tool for extracting the life essence known as “Vibrant Sweat”. By emitting a low-energy field for harvesting the essence, the tool focuses vibrant sweat and encodes it into a suspension fluid. Vibrant Sweat can then be refined together with Force Nexus to produce Mind Essence.
To operate the VSE Mk 1, move within 30 meters from the target, aim carefully and pull the trigger. Keep the tool aimed at the target until the sample is collected.
Note that the VSE works only on animals and not on mutants, robots or other colonists.
NEW AND RETURNED FUNCTIONALITY
* Teaming is back! Again you can go hunting with your friends and share both the fun and the loot with them.
* Sweating is back! And this time, it’s point and click – no more concentration, just pick up your new handy tool VSE Mk 1, aim it and start sweating! This tool is a gift to all players, old and new, for gathering sweat. The VSE Mk 1 is free for everyone and does not decay.
* Mouse-only navigation is back! Want to go there? Just double-click there. You can also press and hold both left and right mouse-button to move forward. And no, we have not turned off the old FPS style – aim and shoot is still there. If you lost it, it’s under Options-Controls-Enable Aim Mode.
* Auto navigation is back! This includes following another avatar, run to creature and shoot when within range, and run to creature and loot when in range.
* Mouse buttons can be mapped! Actions can now be assigned to mouse buttons 3-8, using the Keyboard Map GUI. The mouse button map is to the right just below the Keyboard Map GUI. You can’t map mouse buttons 1 and 2 (left and right mouse buttons); they are locked.
* Live audio streaming is back on Club Neverdie! Bop till you drop!
