Support the Developers

We frequently get asked by the community how they can further support the development of Stationeers. We've decided to add three superficial Support the Developer DLCs. We picked bobble heads as the simple "thank you" item to our players who want to further support our team. These 3 figurines can be mounted to appliance benches, and do nothing... except wobble after bopping their heads when you walk past.

Passive Vent (Valve)

We've added a new type of passive vent with a built-in valve. Not only does this cut down slightly on complexity of a common use case of valves and passive vents, but it also means that when you close the valve the network is truly isolated at the passive vent instead of the isolation happening within closed pipes. We don’t normally combine device functionality, but this singular mash-up was requested enough, and provides solid utility to justify its existence.

New Locked Branch

There is a new Steam Branch called preterrain - pre-terrain rework update.

We have some big new changes coming to Stationeers' terrain and atmospheric systems. This work does mean that there will be disruption to saves and mods. This branch exists to allow people to go back to play older saves.

Some mods will be broken with this update due to some low-level data changes that, in the long run, will improve authoring of worlds both for us and modders alike. Saves on un-modded worlds should be unaffected for now, however it is likely that some saves may break in the future.

Please be patient with us as we work on these new systems. Once we're done there will be a much greater range of cool stuff we can do with worlds.
