4.2.0 is the biggest update in terms of gameplay Endertech Infinity has received until now, featuring a whole new gamemode and area to explore.
Frosthelm Topside
Talking to an NPC in Frosthelm City with the label “[ FTP ]” above their head will open up a menu that will allow you to travel to the Frosthelm Topside Facility. Here you will find a building full of unique interactable props, new gameplay mechanics and much more.
Use the equipment to locate objects in deep space, harvest information and package it for shards. These shards can be used to buy items and props from the shop computer. You may also choose to upgrade your equipment via purchasable SPUs.
A lot of the new props have physics and may be pulled and moved around by looking at them and holding the [Grab Object] button (defaulted to Q). There is also a [Throw Object] bind that will allow you to throw light objects.
Finding Objects
Using the main console, which can be found next to the holographic projector, you may find objects in deep space.
You will be required to find two correct values between 0 and 360 included. The console will use arrows to let you know if the value you are looking for is higher or lower in comparison with your latest scan. It will also highlight in green any digits you input correctly into their position.
After finding the correct values, two check marks will be displayed next to both, and the object you’ve found will be projected on the holographic display.
Maintenance
Multiple server coordinators are located in the lower levels of the facility. These will often go out of sync and will cause your hardware to run slower. Make sure the two holographically projected toruses (donuts) are overlaid on top of eachother, forming a purple colour.
The radiation shielding may grow inaccurate overtime, and must be re-adjusted. If the inaccuracies grow too high the lighting throughout the base might become unstable.
The power might trip, and you will be required to find the main breaker and turn it back on. It is recommended you don’t linger in the dark for too long. If for whatever reason you cannot turn the power back on, you may lock yourself in the security office until help arrives.
The base is prone to going extremely dark, make sure you always know how to get to the nearest portable source, such as a lava lamp.
Downloading Data
After finding an object, you may download data from it from this console. Using a normal download will result in a noisy but quick file, while a HQ one will last longer and reward you more shards. You may use various SPUs to upgrade the speed of this station.
You may use any shards you earn to purchase various items and props via the Shopping Desktop, which may be found under the main console, next to the radiation shielding console.
You may also access the facility security cameras using the Camera Desktop found in the security office.
This is only an overview of the many things you’ll be able to do in the facility. There are many unique items and documents scattered across the facility. This section of the mod will continue receiving content updates from now on.
Other Changes
Sendstina has received a pretty substantial makeover, with overhauled generation, new blocks and entities, effects and more.
Concyderum too has received brand new cave generation, with also a few more blocks to spice the environment up.
Satellite dish towers can be now found on Nyoldarria, Sendstina and Anchoreanische.
There are many more things, little and small that have been added or altered, and I welcome you come and find them out for yourself!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read through all of this.
