What exactly is coming in 1.0?

[Jack Sparrow]

I dont really see any hype surrounding it, are there any big addtions coming? Or are they just going to finally give us a use for those alien artifacts?

[Phoenix Cat]

By the end of the year.

It's a secret

[Grandaddypurple]

There will be an optional storyline and Somersloop / Mercer Spheres / SAM Ore will be usable.
Some recipes will be rebalanced
Biomass burners will have a belt input
A solution for mk3 miners outputting its max amount when fully overclocked will come (though we don't know if the production will be capped at 780/min, two outputs, or if we'll have mk6 belts)
Optimization

That's what has been confirmed so far, that's not a lot and that's why there not a lot of hype: there will be a massive hype when 1.0 drops, I think. My prediction is 1.0 will change the game completely, much like Update 5 did

I'd temper that expectation a bit, chances are it will lead to disappointment. I'm not expecting anything hugely game changing.

A finished and hopefully well optimized game, and that's good. I hope they keep updating the game afterward.

Adding to purple, we also know there will be minor polish and aesthetic updates for most fringe biomes. Also all the caves supposedly are getting proper visual updates with flora on par of what you see in the swamp & stone tree biomes. A long time ago they said they were going to rework the visuals for all the rivers and waterfalls, but idk if thats still coming.

They'll also remove the death barrier from paradise island.

Achievements are also planned.

Is that the place to the west across the waterfalls? The disappointment when I travelled over and hit that barrier was immense.

yes, exactly this one. The island's name is Paradise Island and I was building there, hitting the diagonal world border. when I was already many hours building there. They "planed to remove" this diagonale. We'll see.

Exactly. It's wise to not hope for much.

They were working secretly for at least 2 years ... So I suppose there's something with it ..

Hype side ...
Better to not hype just yet at least..
There's still some time to go by.. and nothing Is known as it's highly secretive.

And for my opinion is good that CSS itself isn't going with hype route. As I prefer low expectations and get a wow at the end versus going in hype mode too early...

I'm quite sure they plan to remove Paradise island completely from the game, as it has no resources

They didnt say anything about removing it. Just to not build it out and to remove the diagonale, so people can better build there.

This was the old plan circa 2022, 2023 onwards enough people expressed interest in keeping it they went for community opinion, but all they're doing is moving away the death barrier, it wont recieve any further development

[Flash✪Gordon]

Which is a pity. Hannah Beuger and her colleague would have made it to a true Paradise Island.

I mean alone this name sounds promising, doesn't it? There are too many unfulfilled promises.

All I know, from watching the twitch videos, is that they are done testing the closed beta. Now they are just working on stuff. I don't know if there will be another round of tests or not. If I am to guess on a date, if they release, maybe mid July or August. There is no official release date, and the community managers don't really say much about it.
