Abiotic Factor Just Got Wilder: New Update Adds Pet Companions, Deep Chemistry, and a Mop!
Doston, if you’ve been exploring the mysterious, Black Mesa-esque research facility in Abiotic Factor, get ready for even more adventure! This survival crafting game, already a massive hit, just got a huge new update called “Cosmic Companions” from Deep Field Games. And trust us, it’s packed with so many cool additions, you’ll be spending even more hours in its interdimensional labs!
Remember the “Holiday Cryosphere” update from last December? It brought that giant, living snowglobe. Well, Deep Field Games isn’t slowing down. Their latest patch literally opens up a new, strange dimension for all you brave scientists to investigate: the Dunkeltaler Forest. This coniferous portal world is home to the Alpen Signal Observatorium and is accessible through a portal you’ll find in the Hydroplant. Your mission? Track down the source of a mysterious signal picked up by the Observatorium. Sounds intriguing, right?
But as the update’s name suggests, the star of the show in “Cosmic Companions” is the massively improved pet system, now dubbed ‘Pets 2.0’. Your furry (or not-so-furry) companions are getting a major upgrade, making them a much bigger part of your expeditions. There’s a new “Companion pet slot” in your inventory, meaning your pets can now properly stick by your side as you explore. Imagine having a ‘Peccary’ – which, let’s be honest, looks like a wild, beaked creature with no legs, definitely not your average dog – following you around! Plus, you can now pick up your pets and holster them in your hotbar. This is a game-changer for navigating tricky areas like ladders, vents, or anywhere your little buddy can’t reach on their own.
While new dimensions and super pets are exciting, the biggest game-changer for actual gameplay might just be the brand-new chemistry system. Get ready to put on your lab coat because two new workbenches – the distillation bench and the chemistry bench – are here! This means you can now brew all sorts of ethically questionable (but incredibly useful!) concoctions. Think strength enhancers, speed boosters, and yes, even size enhancers that can turn your puny scientist into a towering hulk! Beyond personal buffs, the chemistry system also lets you craft weapon-enhancing coatings and throwable flasks – from healing grenades to good old explosive ones. Talk about adding some serious firepower to your arsenal!
And that’s not all! The update also brings improvements to blunt melee weapons for those who prefer a more direct approach to problem-solving. There’s a cool new vehicle too: the hovercraft-style Power Chair, perfect for zipping around your facility. But perhaps the most crucial addition (for cleanliness enthusiasts, at least) is the Mop 9,000. This incredibly advanced cleaning device will help you scrub away all those unsightly stains from your failed experiments – or any floor, for that matter!
All in all, the “Cosmic Companions” update is another fantastic expansion to what many are calling one of the greatest survival crafting games ever made. If you haven’t jumped into the world of Abiotic Factor yet, now’s a great time. The game is currently available at a 20% discount, making it even more appealing to grab. Don’t miss out on this absolute gem!
