AutoForge's first major update, Strange Encounters, is now available to play on the public experimental branch. We hope to be on the experimental branch for about a week before moving to a full release for the update. As mentioned in [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1960480/AutoForge/]previous updates[/url], we have a lot coming in this update. The focus has been on monster invasions and base defense. We will provide the patch notes for Strange Encounters will it's official release. Here is a little preview of a new invader, the Valerian.

You can find them by browsing to the installed files directory and copying the "saves" directory. With this update we have introduced Steam Cloud support so once you have updated your save files will be relocated to another directory. It will look something like "\Steam\userdata\\1960480\remote\saves". Next you simply need to go to AutoForge Properties > Betas and select the "experimental" branch from the dropdown menu. Steam should update AutoForge to the latest build. You can verify this by launching the game and checking the version in the bottom left corner. It should be "0.3 experimental 1". Please provide your feedback and report any issues you run into while playing on experimental. Thank you for your continued interest and help making AutoForge a better game!
