ΔV: Rings of Saturn Announces Major Fixes and Enhancements
Sep 16, 2025 - ΔV: Rings of Saturn, the critically acclaimed physics-based mining sim set in the debris field of Saturn's rings, has announced a significant update packed with fixes, new features, and improvements. This comprehensive update aims to enhance gameplay mechanics, safety protocols, and overall player experience.
Retrofit Kits for Enhanced Performance
Machines Astro-Dynamiques has introduced retrofit kits tailored for the Cheval 5.0 torch and Luciole 1.2 RCS systems. These modifications are specifically designed to cater to heavy recovery tugs, offering extended safety protocol support that ensures smoother operations under high-stress conditions.
Scrapwright Recovery Operations Mandates ADHD Screening
In a move to enhance operational focus and reduce preventable failures during rescue missions, Scrapwright Recovery Operations (SRO) has implemented mandatory ADHD screening for all directly employed pilots. This initiative is part of SRO's ongoing efforts to improve safety and efficiency in their operations.
Updated AI for Docking Manoeuvres
The update introduces improved AI algorithms that better recognize ships stuck in cargo bays, enhancing docking precision and reducing potential accidents. Additionally, the lifting of autopilot limitations on CERF ships could potentially increase risks from pirate-operated vessels, adding a layer of strategic depth for players to consider.
Grinder Audio Feedback and Miner Interactions
Players will now experience more accurate grinder audio feedback that mirrors the grinder's speed, providing better sensory input during mining operations. Furthermore, miners at the edge of the rings will approach players to introduce comms and guide them further into the rings, enriching the narrative and social aspects of the game.
Reduced Traffic and Updated Translations
The update has reduced traffic on the edge of the rings by 50%, creating a less congested environment for players to operate in. Additionally, updated translations across various languages ensure an enhanced user experience for non-English speaking communities.
Bug Fixes
Addressing player feedback, several bugs have been resolved:
- A dialogue bug allowing players to choose crewmember preferences has been fixed.
- NANI's effective range specifications were corrected following accusations of false advertising by Omaewamou-Shindeiru.
- Issues with ND-LIS Kitsune derelicts gaining power and attempting to fly away while attached have been resolved.
- The 'reduce flicker' accessibility option has been adjusted to improve visibility without causing photosensitivity issues.
