    Welcome to the latest update for Planet Arkadia! This patch brings exciting new content and challenges for all brave colonists. Read on for the full details of the update.





    New Content and Additions

    1. Increased Sicarius Activity on Arkadia Moon

    The Sicarius infestation has escalated, particularly on the Arkadia Moon. These threats pose a significant danger to the colony and necessitate a swift response.

    • To counter the growing threat, the Imperial Federal Navy (IFN) has created a new division: IFN Special Operations Division.

    • A new IFN Firebase, Harvir Firebase, has been established on the Arkadia Moon to serve as the headquarters for this elite division.




    2. Join the IFN Spec Ops Division

    Players now have the opportunity to enlist in the newly formed IFN Spec Ops Division:

    • Recruitment Process:Speak to Captain Darius, located at Harvir Firebase on the Arkadia Moon, to begin your recruitment. Prove your worth by completing the recruitment missions and earn a place in the division.

    • Spec Ops Training:After recruitment, players will undergo an intensive Spec Ops Training program.
      • Complete missions across Arkadia Surface, Arkadia Moon, and Arkadia Underground

      • Earn pieces of the IFN Spec Ops Armor Set at each stage of training.

      • Completing the training awards you with the full armor set and marks your official induction into the IFN Spec Ops Division.
      • Spec Ops Armor set can be upgraded up to Perfected which will give you a 5% block chance and an HP buff.
      • Spec Ops Amor pieces have customizable fields so you can color/texture them as you like.




    3. New Instance: Sicarius Nest
    The ultimate test awaits inside the newly revealed Sicarius Nest:

    • Location:After completing your training, gain access to the Sicarius Nest, in the crater near PTech Facility, through the smuggler guarding its entrance.

    • Challenge:Inside, players will face the deadly Sicarius forces, destroy the Sicarius eggs, culminating in a battle with the Sicarius Broodmother, Magnarachnia.




    Additional Improvements and Fixes
    • General Gameplay Adjustments:
      • Minor balancing changes to creature spawn rates across Arkadia Surface and Underground.

      • Visual enhancements for the Arkadia Moon to reflect the increased Sicarius activity.
    • Bug Fixes:
      • Fixed an issue where certain mission trackers failed to update correctly.

      • Fixed some incorrect location names

      • Fixed some incorrect world objects materials





    Prepare yourselves, colonists! The challenges ahead are greater than ever, but so are the rewards. Good luck, and see you on the battlefield!

    New content - awsome, always nice to see and it is appreciated.

    What bothers me is that there is no benefit for already being high in IFN ranks? If i may suggest...IFN Officers (or at least highest ranks) should be automatically adimitted to IFN Spec Ops Division or at least beneffited somehow from years of Payback chain grind, which does not seems to be the case.
    Would be nice to finally be somehow rewarded for such a long and expensive work.

    Thanks again for your work on new content.

    I'm assuming that means Gold Rush is canceled, seeing no mention of it here?


    (I did see some preparation by people for a large-scale mining event, but I don’t believe the rumored VIP information, like last year, would happen twice in a row.)

    Is there a bug in the new mission? I killed a bunch of sicarius and got the training mission but it says I have to kill a load of hostile mobs on the moon but nothing I kill moves the tracker bar.
