   [Music] The Atlas is a power suit that assists players loading cargo into their ship with a uh tractor beam. So, it's supposed to work as an cargo carrier in your personal hanger to move giant boxes around. Now we are introducing the ATS Geo and that is a mining mech. The GEO's beam is a vehicle mining beam, but with a press of a button, you can reduce the power to fit the expected power of an FPS minable. The Geo does not have the regular tractor beam. only comes with the mining arm and the mining

   laser. But the biggest improvement or the biggest addition that the Geo will have is a giant backpack. It's like one of the regular cargo boxes. You can just pop it in, it'll fill up with ore as you mine. And it's got a little multi-tool storage on the bottom where you have your your multi-tool mining gadget and the bake FPS tractor beam. You can also bring spare containers. So once the container on your bag is full, you can then detach it and replace it with a new one. But the most unique thing about the Geo is a new functionality. Jump and hover. So, the jumping is my favorite bit of

   it. It lets you jump quite high. You've got to charge up the jump first, of course, but then you can leap quite big distances. You can enforce the jump or zimmer down the jump or the landing process by firing the thrusters. You can press space to jump and then press keep pressing space or hold it to give a thrust and kind of fly. While you're in the air, you can maintain a small hover. You can adjust your aiming as you're landing. If you get stuck in like a ravine or something, you can jump out to escape. It's hilarious. It's fun. We also did some updates to the existing Atlas. So, it has now a health bar integrated into the frame, so you always

   see the health status of your Atlas. It also has a battery slot now. Not used as of now, but will be used once the engineering gameplay comes in. And apart from that, we did some tweaks to the animations. So, there are some death animations uh that we now have. We've added some small thrusters that allow you to land a little bit more gracefully when you're falling from a cliff or when you jump out of a ship or falling from a greater height. I'm a vehicle artist, but I love big robots just as much. It's much smaller than the rock, so you can compact it back in the cargo bay of a bigger ship much easier. I personally enjoy it more because it's a big stompy robot. So we hope that you are excited for the

   new Atlas Geo. We are really happy to give it out the way it is right now. It gives us also some opportunity to revisit some of the FPS mining and RC mining and we are happy to continue developing or continue improving or expanding on the Atlas going forward.
