    The thing that I don't understand is why we need a new build instead of a simple hotfix for one map. Push it in to steam and end of story....

    You see, the Universe needs to stay in a certain balance to retain it's cosmical harmony. Rushing to fix a map without caution will break this balance; thus, another map (by default docking) will feel the existential hole and slip into it, breaking. It takes weeks of concentrated effort for the mages at UWE to push the limits of this balance to the next level, allowing for an overall more fixed universe. (As this opposes entropy, everything is only temporary in the long term, of course. The trick is to move on to NS3 before entropy snaps back and destroys everything.)

    in 10 billion years, Alien races will find b265, it will run as well as the engine test. Why? ENTROPY.

    They'll start playing it and call it 'Kharaa vs Aliens'

    Those pesky aliens with their assault rifles...

    Hmm so when is the next patch out? Or is development on NS2 basically over now since SubNautica is kicking into high gear?

    @SupaDupaNoodle - We don't have any official release date yet, but it should be sooner rather than later. Development is not over, we've got a few things still in the oven ;)
