  A reminder: you are responsible for choosing your respawn location. I cannot be held responsible for people who select a respawn location that puts them in harms way or gets them stuck. Double check your spawn location!

This is a huge update to the scenario. Expect some hot fixing over the next few weeks to fix bugs and balance issues that are reported.
A new save game is strongly recommended to get new content and avoid issues. Old save games may encounter issues that will not be able to be fixed.

Please see the Project Eden section of this post for the full change log:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2769176383

• New asteroid mining.
  
• Updated Empyriopedia.
  
• New weapons and devices.
  
• CPU balancing.
  
• Many other changes.

Some blueprints may need to be updated to adapt to the changes, please understand that updating older blueprints is a necessary part of playing an in-development custom scenario in an in-development game.

If you find your favorite weapons aren't doing as well as they used to for the CPU this may be because they are better balanced OR it may be because they need some buffing. Likewise some weapons may be too good and will need to be brought down a bit. This is unfortunately something that a test scenario can only do so much about. Real feedback from real games is needed so not everything may be balanced yet.




A special thanks to everyone who helped test and contributed content for this update. Your feedback helped out so much.
I hope everyone enjoys this update and please post in the troubleshooting discussion if you encounter any issues or have feedback! Expect that we'll make changes as people start playing through the scenario. Thank you all so much.


A general reminder on scenario updates:
A new save game is not mandatory unless otherwise stated. It is your choice or the choice of your server owner whether to continue an existing save game or start a new one.
It may take Steam some time to update the scenario. You may have to perform a file validation in Steam to force the download.
Please make sure your local copy is updated before copying the scenario's files to update your server and that your FTP client is set to binary transfer mode.
I cannot assist with troubleshooting server updates.
Please see the pinned posts in the discussions and the Project Eden guide for more information.

The 1.7 update to the scenario is tentatively planned for Saturday March 26 however this may be delayed.

You can view update info here (notes may not reflect the most up to date version so see the change log of the test scenario):

There is a test version of Reforged Eden 1.7 available here:

- Updated loading screen info.

Please consider validating files in Steam to make sure it downloads the latest scenario files to your PC.

• Added holiday items to UCH Quartermasters.
  
• Updated UCH Research Vessels with Christmas Trees.
  
• Updated water blocks with settings for the new water.

The scenario should still work fine for now and you can resume your existing save games but you will not get most of the changes from the Empyrion 1.7 update until the scenario is updated.
You may encounter unexpected issues in the meantime.

Wishing everyone a happy holidays!

I've reported it so hopefully it can get fixed but in the mean time please make sure to fully exit the game when you stop playing.
If you quit back to the main menu then resume a save game or join a server without fully restarting the game you may encounter error spam in combat.

I updated the loading screen notes to notify people about this.
