🍃 Hello Explorers!Thank you all for the incredible support and feedback! We've been reading through your comments and reviews, and today we're rolling out our latest update. This patch mainly focuses on stability fixes which should also cover a critical crash that caused the game to shut down whenever a player would try to craft something from a storage that no longer existed.🔥 Important ClarificationWe’d also like to clarify some concerns about AI usage in our intro cutscene - we did NOT use AI whatsoever. The cutscene was made and fully rendered two years ago in 3DS Max and imported straig

Hello Explorers! The survey of Sota7 brings us to its final chapter. Welcome to The Pass. SOTA7 FIELD SURVEY LOG: The PassClassification: Extreme risk. End-of-progression zone.The Pass is small in size but dense with purpose. Positioned between upland surfaces and more extreme ecological pockets, it draws from the biomes around it while refining them into something more concentrated. The species here are not abundant in the way the Valley and Headlands are. What exists in The Pass is deliberate, often contested, and worth more to your research than anything encountered before it.Every encounte

Hello Explorers!We continue our journey through Sota7 into the Headlands!SOTA7 FIELD SURVEY LOG: The Headlands Classification: Mixed danger. Recommended for experienced field teams.The Headlands mark a turning point in the survey. Stone formations and constructed remnants shape the terrain here, creating a zone that feels both natural and purposefully arranged. Not everything here is hostile, but the balance has shifted. Some inhabitants remain approachable, others are territorial, and the flora has grown more specialized to match. This region opens the door to new materials, new recipes, and

Hello Explorers!We continue our exploration of Sota7 into the first zone! SOTA7 FIELD SURVEY LOG: The ValleyClassification: Low risk. Recommended for initial orientation.You'll notice the Valley feels easy to settle into. The complexity is there, it just doesn't announce itself. The landscape is defined by dense forests, groves and marshlands, with water shaping how you move through it. Branching channels, shallow pools and ground-level nesting sites form the Valley's natural corridors. Most species you encounter here lean toward curiosity rather than aggression, making it the right place to b

Hey Explorers!First things first - sorry it’s been a little quiet from us lately! We swear it wasn’t intentional! But, sometimes, when you absolutely zero in on something, keeping hammering away at it over and over and over… Well, you don’t really feel the time fly by!
