For some reason plasma explosion was split into two identical attacks for each damage type, so I just combined them into one to fix this issue.

These not coding in the hacking videos / screenshots I've shown. It's just running some command shell programs with specific parameters. It's not really that complicated once you learn the parameters. Of course, you'd also have to know how to use the command shell, but if you know how to use windows or linux ones, you'll be fine.
Of course, I know that not everyone will be interested in doing this, so there will be easier ways to hack by using graphical programs and such, but those will be less powerful.
As for writing your own programs and scripts and such, it is my plan to develop the computer system as deep as I can over time (it might include post-full-release development). I would like to, at some point, provide a some sort of API for characters to write their own graphical software in-game as well.

Development Log / Dev Log #15: Steam Page Launch & New Gameplay Video
« on: October 27, 2025, 11:50:05 am »
See nicely formatter HTML version on the website.
Hi guys,
UnderRail 2: Infusion Steam page is official up, so you can go ahead and wishlist the game! Also, check out our new 10 minute gameplay video.
We plan to release the game in Early Access at some point in the future. I do not know the exact date, but if I'd have to guess it should takes us about a year and a half to get all the stuff we want in there. I could be wrong, though, so don't hold me to this. I'll let you guys know months in advance as we get closer to the release.
For our new Steam audience: you can real all the old Infusion dev logs here, while all the new ones will be posted on Steam as well.
So go ahead, wishlist the game, if it looks like something you'd enjoy playing and also spread the word about it, it helps a lot.
That's it for now. In the coming weeks we have some work to do on Underrail 1 (check it out on Steam as well) as it's nearing its 10 year anniversary, but after that we're going back into Infusion trenches with Early Access as our next big goal.
In the meantime, be sure to follow me on X, where I post smaller tidbits of development regularly.
Cheers.

« on: October 23, 2025, 10:08:12 am »Styg, are you planning on introducing plasma pistols too? By the way, I was wondering if it would be possible to create a rapid-fire plasma weapon similar to a submachine gun?Yes, there will be pistol variants for most energy type weapons.
No, plasma weapons are single shot weapons. There might be some rapid-fire laser weapons later.

Development Log / Dev Log #14: Low-Tech / High-Tech Rifles
« on: October 16, 2025, 07:55:24 pm »

Hi guys,
The humble bolt-action rifle and the mighty plasma rifle differ in power, availability and reliability, but both have their place in Underrail.
The low-tech option that is the bolt-action rifle is cheap, both in base parts and mods, it requires reasonably low mechanical skill to craft and maintain and its basic ammo is relatively cheap and plentiful. It does moderate amount of damage in early game (of course, keep in mind that damage of a firearm is going to heavily depend on the ammo) and it will never jam.
The game will also feature some some late-game anti-materiel models that will pack quite a punch, so investing in bolt-action rifle feats will be useful in late game as well.
https://www.stygiansoftware.com/videos/devlogs/infusion/14/RifleCrafting.mp4
The downside, of course, is that it's turn-bolt operated and requires a separate action to reload after every attack, so the rate-of-fire, and hence the overall damage over time, is rather low.
Plasma Rifle, on the other hand, is a formidable late game weapon. It has a powerful energy attack that melts through most enemies with ease. Only the most heavily armored robots or those targets sporting an equally high-end energy shield can shrug off such an attack.
In a way, it is not as different from bolt-action rifle in the way it operates - it fires a single powerful blast and then has to cooldown for a period (during which the character can perform other actions) so it has a low rate of fire. The power and the cooldown are determined by the number of capacitors used in its creation as well as general quality of components.
It's heavy, expensive, hard to create and maintain, its components are rare and expensive, and it can malfunction if not maintained properly or if damaged by elements.
On paper it is a far superior weapon to the simple bolt-action rifle, but overall, it's hard say. It will depend on the time, place, and, of course, the target.
https://www.stygiansoftware.com/videos/devlogs/infusion/14/RifleFighting.mp4
The comparison of these two weapons should give you a good idea about how I plan to approach balancing different armaments in Infusion. The power is not everything at all stages of the game. The cost, availability, reliability, skill requirements, the way weapon operates and more - it all plays into how good a weapon is.
That's it for now. We're very close to releasing that new gameplay video. It's going to be a short trailer of various things we have in the game at this stage. In the meantime, be sure to follow me on X, where I post smaller tidbits of development regularly.

Development Log / Re: Dev Log #13: New Crafting UI
« on: October 16, 2025, 07:55:09 pm »I notice on the model viewer we have a similar system that we did in the original. That being you click on a slot and it autofills components. Presumably it does this in a similar manor to what it did in the original as well, most recent to oldest in the inventory. This was one of my biggest pet peeves in the original as I would have a big box that I filled with my components and would just take all on them when I wanted to craft. Having to cycle through 30 different plasma cores, frames, etc was annoying. Nothing game breaking of course it's just that I have a small suggestion that could alleviate this.
Would it be possible to have a small sub-window pop up when clicking on the box that lists all the components you have? You could even keep the current functionality with a right/left click, and make the box pop up on the other. I'll say left for list and right for autofill. For removing it would be as simple as right clicking again and having a 'no component' option at the top left of the list in the submenu on left click.
--On further inspection I do see that you have the inventory off-screen in the pistol example for us to drag and drop from. If that is also how the crafting one works then disregard that will do just fine!
You can drag the component directly to the slot (you can do this in Underrail 1 as well) also. The way that it select the component to autofill is same or similar to that of Underrail 1, but I will probably at some point implement something akin to what you suggest. Perhaps when you mouse over a slot you get a drop down button and when you click it, you can select from a grid of available components for that slot.

« on: September 29, 2025, 10:07:13 am »Very nice! Is this just for the expansion or also planned for the original engine?
Infusion is a completely new stand-alone game, so all the things described in its dev logs only apply to it.

Hi guys,
Recently I've updated the item crafting and modding windows to be in line with the new UI aesthetics.
There are no more category filters, but you can sort by the blueprint name or category and can mark a blueprint as your favorite in order to be bump at the top of the list. Additionally, there's the search bar that you can use for filtering now.
https://stygiansoftware.com/videos/devlogs/infusion/13/Crafting.mp4
The item/view modding window can be accessed by right clicking an item in your inventory and selecting "Inspect". In this view, crafted items will show their components that you can mouse over to inspect individually and you can add/remove/replace components from those slots that are marked as "moddable", but you cannot change any of the basic components here.
For example, you can add or remove various firearm attachments, such as scopes and muzzle devices, but you cannot remove the barrel or any other basic component that would cause the item to stop working altogether. For that, you'll have to disassemble the item completely.
In the future, crafting and disassembling will require specific workbenches and you'll not be able to do it on the fly, while modding will be available anywhere.
Also, you can now inspect items that do not have 3D models as well. For those, we make high resolution renders so you can see more details.
That's it for now. We continue to work towards that new gameplay video. In the meantime, be sure to follow me on X, where I post smaller tidbits of development regularly.
Cheers.

Development Log / Re: Dev Log #12: Graphical Improvements
« on: September 21, 2025, 12:41:40 pm »Oh my god, it's gorgeous, and a little bit concerning. I know that you don't use an UE5 and you're a master of your engine but I was burned by so many cool indie games which had neglected proper optimization, but I believe that your and your team's brains can handle it.I haven't tested it on lower end CPUs, so we'll see when I get to it.
P.S. I know that nothing is set in stone right now and lots of things can change, but how much do you think this game will need in terms of GPU/CPU/RAM? I want to know that because I haven't upgraded in a long time cause I don't have any games which will justify it, if it works on low then it's fine. But in this game's case I'm so hyped that I want to experience it without any compromises. If it really needs something beyond gtx 1650 super 6gb and i7-3770 then I need to start cutting on my groceries and other stuff now to be able to afford a new PC.
As for GPUs - interestingly, my office PC currently is running GTX 1660 with 6GB and the game runs mostly fine even though it's not been fully optimized yet. Of course, it largely depends on resolution 1080p vs 1440p and how the features mentioned above are configured.
I think this line of GPUs (1650/1660) should be able to run the game on high settings at least on 1080p, but we'll see. We're going to have to test how the game performs when there's a lot of expensive stuff in the scene, but it's also been optimized.
But, in any case, you'll be able to run the game on that GPU for sure. It just remains to be seen at what settings.
