Last oasis developers released on June 24, 2020 a new update called “Volcanic update” in version 1.3.1. In the update, players will find a new oasis consisting of volcanic rocks, where it will be possible to get two new resources. And also a new kind of walker called “Domus”.
About new types of shakers.
In their update, game developers said they would continue to improve and add new shakers for nomads. And at the beginning, during the development, research is carried out in the field of gameplay. And with what areas the players interact most. Based on this, the players were introduced to the Mollusk walker.
In the Mollusk walker, the idea of a protective mobile home for nomads was realized. And after that, almost immediately began work on the next shaker, which was introduced in this update. The walker “Domus” is also a protective class. Under the class of protective walker is meant its completely closed part where the nomad is.
If in other walkers the control cabin is open and the walker himself looks like an open deck. That in terms of protective walkers is different. Their control cabin and deck are closed and contents can be hidden inside in drawers. It will be more difficult for other nomads to get inside someone else’s protective walker.
Among the shortcomings of the protective walkers can be identified poor visibility. At the moment, all control of the walker is inside and, accordingly, the overview can be observed from the cab. This makes it a little difficult to control the external environment. But the nomad receives protection from arrows and early invasion of the walker by other hostile nomads.
About new creatures.
Added a new kind of creature called “Killin”. This is a flying monster similar to a flying dragon and something like a big flying mouse.
The developers wanted to diversify the world and add new zest. This kind of creature is surprisingly not hostile. It flies far in the air and, at the request of the nomads, can be used as a vehicle. Thanks to this, you can control and see a large area.
Like most creatures after killing, it also brings valuable types of resources. To do this, use the hook to climb onto the back of the flying “Killin” and inflict damage with any weapon. You can shoot him from mounted crossbows while on a walker.
About a new kind of map, volcanic biome.
Previously, developers provided players with new types of locations and resource extraction. Such a resource was Obsidian. Which can be obtained from cooled lava. For this, not large lava lakes on complex maps were developed. Where players using a special machine cooled the lava. And then they collected resources using the tool.
This type of resources in the markets was very much appreciated and it was possible to earn a decent profit from the sale. Wishing to collect such resources was enough. And the developers had something to pay attention to and get new ideas.
In this update, developers added a whole new kind of map to the game. Volcanic biomes are almost completely scorched and saturated with the atmosphere of dead earth. Being on such players will require more resources to support their life activities. And also more water to cool the lava.
Survival of the nomads is also known from the desert lands. Where players have to stock up on water to quench their character’s thirst. But, in these lands the walkers practically do not receive damage, with the exception of sand, which clogs the gears.
In the new location, players will have to take into account the same problems that are in desert locations and a little more. Since the volcanic map needs more resources, and walkers can take damage from lava.
About new elements.
Starting with update 1.3.1, furniture appears in the game that players can assemble on their own. These types of furniture are designed as a decorative part, and for the functional. For example, a chair can have a relaxing effect on a nomad, and a lamp can illuminate a small area in a radius.
The developers said that this part of the game will develop further. And players will be given more choices to express themselves.
About new types of weapons.
This update introduced new types of melee weapons and missile weapons. And the reason for entering the game was the gap between the levels.
Throwing weapons are presented in the form of “Explosive Ammunition” and “Lava Bombs.” Explosive ammunition is designed to knock back hostile creatures and other nomads. And do not do much damage. And lava bombs, on the other hand, damage enemies and set fire to the ground.
Lava bombs are added to the game to improve gameplay in battles between nomads and clans. Since the use of a lava bomb brings more effect when attacking protected structures and walkers.
For example, if an enemy nomad is behind a defensive structure and shoots, he can be kicked out of the structure using the Lava Bomb. Since in contact with its structure there will be a fire and the nomad will begin to take fire damage.
Another type of shells called “Floating Bombs” and are designed to create obstacles on the battlefield. Against enemy shakers, because after a shot they hang in the air and slowly go down. Perform the role of an air mine.
