Lighting up your production lines in Satisfactory is easy at first--you're building outdoors, and the power of the sun takes care of any visibility problems you might have, at least during the day. But building outdoors isn't sustainable. You'll have immensely long, confusing, and inefficient factories that will make the game less fun to play. It's better to build buildings to house those machines, and that's where lighting comes in. Lighting for visibility, information, and style are all worthwhile pursuits, and will even require different applications of components in some cases. This is a starter guide for lighting up your factory, covering general ideas and concepts and some technical aspects of light.

Light Sources:

There are three different light sources in Satisfactory. The sun, factory lighting, and repurposed signs.

Lights

There are a few different standard lights in Satisfactory, including a standard ceiling light, two different kinds of flood lights, and street lights, all of which can be controlled through a lighting control panel.

Star Shards are one of the more important currencies you can get in Abyss, the latest Roblox game to take the platform by storm. While the objective is to upgrade your equipment to explore further and get fish, there are also quests to complete and other activities that reward you with the game's most elusive resource.

Of course, the easiest way is to redeem one of the available Abyss codes and gain all the bonus Star Shards that way, but you can also earn them as daily login bonuses during events, and buy them from the in-game shop. However, there are several other ways you can get Star Shards without paying a thing.

Daily Rewards are a quick way to grab some Star Shards whenever you start up the game.How to earn free Abyss Star Shards

From what has been put in the game so far, there are five major ways to get Star Shards in Abyss:

Need some extra star shards in Abyss? While there are plenty of ways to acquire these resources, bonus air tanks to keep you going for longer, and extra potions to boost your catch rate, the handful of Abyss codes out there are very handy for giving you a bit of extra oomph.

This up-and-coming Roblox game receives constant updates, each one introducing new quests for players to complete. Having all the latest on where to find Abyss star shards, one of the resources you get from entering codes, is handy, particularly if you're trying to roll for the best Abyss races and the bonuses they give your character.

Some codes give away potions that you can use to increase encounters with rarer fish, boost XP gain, or increase your tube's speed. Active Abyss codes

Below are all of the active Abyss codes available right now. Please note that all of the codes are case sensitive, so if it appears in all capital letters, that is what you need to type in. Occasionally, the codes you enter are for specific events, so if it has concluded, then the code shouldn't work in theory.

Chances are that you have been playing Abyss for a while, but have not changed your race from human. While this Roblox game doesn't hide this mechanic at all, it's always available at any hub area, and you have the option to get a permanent buff to your character. However, some of the races are just a little bit better than others, and while the rarity does give a good indicator of what's good, there are some perks more desirable than others.

Of course, you'll need a bunch of Abyss Star Shards to get rolling on the table, and even then, the odds you'll actually roll the top-tier best races are slim at best. If you manage to get one in one of the three available slots, then make sure you keep it. However, if you want to know which races that are actually obtainable for most people are the best, then we'll break down for you just which ones to keep. Oh, and make sure you redeem any Abyss codes to get more Star Shards and rerolls.

By spending more Star Shards on a single roll, your odds of getting better rarity races do increase.Abyss Races Tier List

By clicking the Races button, found at the top of the screen while at any hub area, you'll encounter the Race Reroll screen. You have two different ways to roll for races, with Lucky Reroll changing the odds to eliminate common races and boost your chances of getting the highest-tier ones instead. However, it costs 4.5x the amount of Star Shards than a standard reroll, and because of the Pity system, it's better to reroll with standard odds as the number for guaranteed Epic or Legendary races goes down at the same rate.

Abyss hasn't been out all that long, but we already have the first major in-game event. The Valentine's Event started on February 14 and will last two weeks, specifically until Saturday, February 28 at 1PM ET / 10AM PT. With it comes a few exclusive mutations that you won't see again for at least another year, as well as a handful of quests and exclusive equipment.

To get these items in this popular Roblox game, though, you need VTickets. The simplest way to get them is to grind away, catching Valentine-themed fish and hoping you get the VTickets as a bonus for reeling them in. However, there are also a bunch of quests you can partake in to grab more of them at once. So if you want as many VTickets and a whole bunch of Abyss Star Shards to spend on rolling for the best Abyss races before the event is over, here are all the Valentines Event quests and how to complete them.

The Valentines Event has the Big Boss sitting on his chair and a vendor where you can exchange your VTickets.Big Boss's Quest

All of Big Boss's quests require you to catch Valentine's event-themed fish. You can find Cupid-mutated fish all around the starting area near the Valentine's Event hub. Look for the bright pink fish with hearts emitting from them. The Lonely-Mutated fish are similar in color, in that they have pink hearts and a pink aura, but their bodies are more black to signify their loneliness. We highly recommend the use of Radar to scan for these elusive variants.

TiMi Montreal, the studio founded by former Assassin's Creed creative director Ashraf Ismail, has been shut down by its parent company Tencent. Ismail announced the studio's opening in 2021, under Tencent's TiMi Studio Group banner. Reportedly, Ismail's team was working on a new original AAA open-world game for consoles and PC. However, the shutdown means that TiMi Montreal's unannounced game will never see the light of day.

According to Game File, rumors about Timi Montreal's impending demise were circulating for weeks without confirmation. That changed when Timi Montreal developers began sharing the news online about the fate of their studio.

On his LinkedIn page, senior gameplay programmer Alvaro Fernandez Luzuriaga said, "I am genuinely heartbroken that the public will never get to experience what this team was capable of producing." Luzuriaga's message was subsequently removed from his page.
