Hello, Engineers!
Prepare to engage like never before - our latest “Contact” Update has been released on Steam and PlayStation!
The Xbox and Windows Store release is in progress – we appreciate your patience while we make sure it’s ready! We’ll announce the release date as soon as possible.
With this release, we’re taking Space Engineers to new frontiers of challenge and discovery. For those of you craving thrilling PvE encounters and seeking to push the limits of your engineering prowess, this update is packed with everything you need.
"Contact" brings an array of PvE encounters designed to test your skills and strategies in high-stakes scenarios. But that’s not all! We’re introducing exclusive Prototech blocks - advanced technology you can only obtain through these intense encounters.
These blocks will add new dimensions to your endgame builds, giving you tools and capabilities that enhance your creativity and gameplay strategies. As always, we’re excited to see how you’ll use these new features to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Space Engineers.
In the Contact DLC you can find additional cosmetic blocks and bring some love to your Small Grid builds.
PvE Encounters
To experience all new PvE Encounters as intended, you’ll need to start a new world. They are enabled by default for any new world you create. You can also customize their density and the global encounter cap - or disable them entirely in the world settings.
Planetary Encounters
Planetary Encounters bring new life to the planets of Space Engineers! These range from small research outposts to formidable pirate strongholds, each offering a wide variety of loot. Players can discover everything from story elements hidden in datapads to valuable Prototech components.
Global Encounters
Global Encounters introduce a new type of space-based PvE content. When one spawns, all players in the session will receive a GPS point labeled “Unidentified Signal”.
These aren’t your typical encounters - expect challenging end-game NPCs, unique environments, and high-end loot. They are the primary source for acquiring Prototech. Stay vigilant, as hostile players might be waiting to swoop in and steal the prize!
Prototech
In this update we’re adding a new type of Block – Prototech. These are powerful, “end-game” blocks, found in new “Global Encounters”. Prototech is a powerful technology created by the secretive Factorum faction. They have gone to great lengths to ensure components cannot be reverse engineered!
This means you cannot simply grind these blocks down and take their components, like you can with ordinary blocks. Instead, you’ll need to extract them intact and then add them to existing grids using merge blocks.
Contact Pack
Similar to our previous major releases, we hope you will take this opportunity to support the continued development of Space Engineers. This DLC pack consists of cosmetic items that enrich your game visually. None of the features in this package provide any advantage to players who purchase this DLC.
The price of the Contact Pack is $4.99 USD or your regional equivalent. Show your continued support for Space Engineers and check out the Contact Pack.
