- Patch 1.0.4 - 30 March 2023
Changes and New Features 🪐 indicates changes due to community feedback! 🪐Reduced victory point requirements for the number of techs researched (Novice/Adept/Veteran Researcher). This should help with situations where a victory point cannot be achieved because too many techs were scrapped. 🪐Removed the file location popup when taking pictures in photo mode Changed victory condition requirements for Mega Miner: No longer spawns as a tier 1 point. Reduced the requirements by one per level - This will make the tier 5 point possible to achieve on all map types Fixes Fixed an issue where selection could stop working after destroying the rival's HQ. If you had encountered this issue in a game, loading that save after updating will allow you to continue Fixed an issue where employees would not exit a conversion capsule until the floor it was on was viewed if conversion finished while the cam…

- Industries of Titan review: a curious hybrid builder that's less than the sum of its parts - 10 February 2023
I imagine Industries Of Titan started out as an ambitious concept. A hybrid of a factory layout/logistics sim, integrated into a city builder , combined with an RTS, all wrapped up in a satirical dystopia encouraging you to be the most appalling villainous hypercapitalist possible. All of those parts are present, and as a bonus it's incredibly gorgeous, with strong voice acting and a distinctive soundtrack that will haunt my head for weeks. Most of its parts are made to a high standard, it's tragic that its final design just doesn't work at all. Of all things, IOT reminds me of Fragile Allegiance . You're a 'founder', sent to an already colonised and abandoned Titan to build a new city at the behest of the Council. You're a 'founder', sent to an already colonised and abandoned Titan to build a new city at the behest of the Council. First, by salvaging its ruined buildings for minerals a…

- Industries of Titan review - 31 January 2023
fter 100 of my colony's citizens died due to the toxic fumes and quite a lot of fire, I regretted naming my Industries of Titan corporation PC Gamer Dot Com. It's just not good for the brand. But a loss like this, which would be considered a catastrophe anywhere else, is more like misplacing a box of staples on Saturn's miserable moon... Read more.

- Council Report #10: Campaign Mode - 31 October 2022
Greetings Founder, It’s been a while since I or one of my fellow Council members have been able to directly update you on the advancements here on Titan, but that is merely because we have been busy getting things in line for your biggest venture yet. The business landscape has changed and more competitors have emerged, so we’re here to equip you with new technology and strategies for you to employ to ensure your enterprise’s success. COMING SOON Campaign Mode Firstly, we’ve developed a system that will allow you to expand your empire even further than was previously feasible, one sector at a time.

However, not every area of Titan will present the same resources and challenges. Sectors will vary in terms of their environment, degree of rebe…
- Patch 0.27.5 - 4 October 2022
Happy Titan Tuesday, Founders! Today's update is an Experimental patch because, as we near the finish line, we don't plan on releasing any more major updates to the main branch until our 1.0 launch.

- Developer Preview: Campaign Mode - 29 September 2022
Greetings Founders, We’re back with this month’s update preview blog to give you a peek behind the curtain at all the new content we’ve been working on! We don’t have a new patch for you just yet this time around, but we hope that those of you who play on the experimental branch have been enjoying battling your competition in our latest iteration of the Rivals system. The introduction of these changes to how players can interact with their Rivals was a precursor to one of the biggest updates Industries of Titan has seen yet: Campaign Mode, which is what we’re here to talk about today. Let’s dive in! Campaign Mode Titan currently offers players many different ways to play through its various environments, goals, and potential strategies, but we’ve found that most players still tend to default to one routine playstyle. With Campaign Mode, however, players will have further incentive to pl…

- Developer Preview: Rivals 2.0 - 2 August 2022
Greetings Founders, As you may remember us mentioning in our most recent update, our team is focusing on implementing some big features before our 1.0 launch this Winter, and in order to get them done as efficiently as possible, Industries of Titan will be moving away from the monthly update schedule that we've stuck to throughout Early Access to a more irregular update cadence. This means that while we might not have a new content-packed patch for players every month, we'll still continue to keep you updated on all of the development progress we're making behind the scenes–and that's exactly what we're here to do today. Read on to get a sneak peek of what our next major update has in store! Rivals 2.0 In May we introduced Rival AI, a major change to how players achieve victory on Titan in the form of some good old-fashioned, friendly competition. Soon, however, Rebels will not be the o…
