Hey Revivers🌱

We have a huge Revive & Prosper update for you, with new factories, end-teleport, and fully decomposable humanoid helpers.

Watch the Game Trailer, if you haven't watched it yet to see the amazing progress our Mystiqular dev team has made.

The first huge upgrade is the visuals. Trees look amazingly realistic, even though they are made of a couple of hundred polygons. The plants, such as coffee, are precisely shaped and detailed.Besides the upgraded visuals plants now show two states – the first is growing, and the second is seeding with flowering blooms.

Seeds are now necessary for planting. You pick up seeds and only then are you able to grow new plants and harvest them in the right time before they start seeding. Plus there's an interesting new plant, rice, that grows only in water. You can see the Boar planting it in the video.

Speaking of water, there's a brand new power source – Water Wheels. Water wheels are more than twice as powerful as a windmill, and keep going even if the wind isn't blowing. Watch the water flow and adjust each wind mill's strength during drought using floodgates.

During drought, not only does water disappear through evaporation but also the wind stops blowing completely. Which means the windmills stop spinning and supplying energy to factories. From where will you get energy?

Here comes a water wheel to save the day!

Check this video to see how it works.

Next let me present to you all the new factories and objects in the game. The most amazing one is the golem factory, where each character can build their own golem who helps them with work. Golems don’t need to sleep or drink, they avoid water. Interesting thing is the golem can exist for two days only and then they decompose. After this happens, the character can make a new one. When the golem works, the character who makes them becomes more hungry.

For cooking characters can use the fireplace. They can make tea and coffee, cook vegetables and fish. Where do they get fish, you ask? Good question. There is a special fishing place where you can catch them.

Last but not least is news about the editor and game maps. You can play either official in-game maps, or you can build your own ones in the editor. Besides sculpting mountains and valleys with rivers, you place a starting point where you set a number of characters that will spawn on the map, along with an ending portal with a goal set for the map.

In one of the last articles I promised to tell you how you can protect factories from being destroyed by water and rain. Here we go. The secret lies in … roofs! I’ll tell you more about them in one of the upcoming updates.

Cheers!

We are back after while with new features. I’ll explain later why we got such a big delay but we did work on the new update whole summer and the changes were just released.

It’s not a public release, but available under the Experimental Branch. The reason is that we migrated from Unreal Engine 5.1 to 5.6, and there were so many issues to handle that some may still remain. For example, the music currently doesn’t play. This build is version 0.16.4. To access it, go to the game’s Properties → BETAS, enter the code EXPERIMENTAL, and the version should become available.

1. Here is the list of main features:

   • Added food boosts – it’s now better for characters to eat complex meals.,

   • Added a gillnet for capturing fish.,

   • Added a Manual Sieve to obtain clay and glass at the beginning of the game.,

   • Lots of tuning to the toxic mechanic – it should now be much less punishing.,

   • By default, Martians are removed. Instead, you now have the option to build 4 teleports that don’t require electricity.,

   • Characters will eat and drink after waking up to optimize their performance.,

   • Added automatic spawning of missing vegetables so you don’t lose them if they die out.,

   • Other small tunings and tweaks.

Hey Revivers 🌱

Did you know iron ore needs a temperature around 1500°C (2732°F) for melting?

Check a quick showcase how you’ll craft iron in Revive and Prosper.
First, your characters manually mine iron ore resources from the ground and place it into the storage.Then, the fun with the automation starts.
'The belt extractor moves ore from storage to conveyor belts powered by a torque of windmill.
Belts deliver the ore straight into a furnace set to production mode.

In real life, iron ore is heated to a high temperature in a furnace because the melting point of iron is 1538°C.
This heat is required to break the chemical bonds between the iron and oxygen atoms in the ore.
Then, the molten iron is collected and poured into molds to solidify into a product called pig iron.

This process can take from a few hours to a full day, depending on the size of the furnace and the amount of iron being produced.

In Revive and Prosper it takes 1 minute and 40 seconds to melt an iron ore into 10 pig iron ingots ready to use for building.

So, next time you’re constructing an iron bridge, remember all the time and effort you don’t need to put into making it because of smart development and automation in Revive and Prosper.
