Progress Update: May 11th, 2016

[Kyzrati]

The first major stage of Alpha 9 development is complete! I've overhauled the fabrication mechanics, along with the other previously untouched machines, and you can read all about it in a new blog post.

In short, fabrication just got a lot easier, and you'll be building replacement parts and friends in no time


In other news, I've been seriously injured in an accident. (There was a little bit of earlier discussion about it here.) The worst of it is a badly sprained ankle and broken clavicle; tomorrow we'll know if any surgery is required... Anyway, obviously I'm still working condition, hence all the work lately , though it sure would be nice if I could swap some parts right about now!

In the end this will cause a slight delay in the Alpha 9 release, but it'll still be out in a reasonable time (actually, my current estimates are based on no surgery, because I'm staying hopeful that's the case ). Also pushing this release back a bit is the need for an update to the website, which is now a year old. So while I originally planned to do a release by the end of May, it'll likely be early June-ish instead.
