What HWS Patron DLC would you like to see?
Dear HWS Patrons,I can't believe we would actually reach this number but here we are...THANK YOU so much, all of you, for supporting what we do!Patreon themselves want to rework the goal section and it's currently not well presented. Once they do I wanted to rework the goals a bit and now, actually extend them!With $3000 per month our last posted goal was:I can't imagine we will ever hit this goal... but at this level I would love to introduce dedicated "HWS Patron DLCs".Regular new content sponsored by HWS Patrons for every...

Custom Block Shape Window Configuration from Ju
Dear Patrons!Ju here :)Today we have a special gift for you:π A new configuration for your block shape overview.When you are a builder, you maybe noticed, that it is sometimes hard to quickly find the block shape that you need.The vanilla block shape configuration is challenging for me since years. But now I noticed, that you can change it! Mindblowing for me π€―π .With utter devotion I spent hours designing a better overview and putting it into the config. I tested it for many building weeks and I am pretty satisfied with the handling an...
Thank you and what's next
Dear HWS Patrons,I just want to let you know that I am really thankful for you being here!We got a lot of new Patrons and I want to welcome all of you very warmly.A lot is going on recently, HWS+ Alpha got released, Patron changes were made, HWS RE season is ending. Yet, I'm speechless by the support increasing on Patreon. You are awesome! β₯οΈTo tackle quickly some of the points:β’ HWS+ Alpha is a work in progress Scenario that needs to deliver. I'm very sorry to see some leave because of it but I can totally understand that they do...
New Offer: Annually Membership
I forgot to mention it in the last post but after long thoughts we also want to offer you the possibility to pay annually instead of right now monthly (totally optional and up to you to do it). Doing so includes also a 15% discount for you, which means ~2 months are basically for free.Some requested it for a long time, making it more convenient for you but also gives us an even bigger foundation for doing what we love for a living.Please note that this is a big new feature we will analyze in the future, adjusting the % discount if needed but ot...
After 3,5 Years | First big HWS Patreon Upgrade
PrologueDear HWS Patrons,3,5 years ago we decided to give Patreon a go without knowing anything about it.It was one of these "why not, let's see" ideas, you know. We would have never thought that it would be, in our point of view, incredible successful and so many of you will support what we do.This whole HWS/Empyrion idea was created under this flag actually. We never hosted a server and never tried to build up such a big community.On top, doing this for living, it feels unreal for me sometimes.But here we are and I can't expre...
New HWS Patron Benefits
Dear HWS Patrons,with the release of the new HWS RE 1.7 season today, there is a fresh air coming into HWS Patron as well.On the point: HWS Elite get more benefits!

Other Origins are bound to EGS Recycle Zones, even with Recycle Level 5. (reminder you can buy EGS Recycle Zones too) Give Explorers the Discovery Credit bonus back. Each Solar System you discovered first, gives you cumulative Elemental Bank ...
HWS Marketplace Filter
Dear HWS Patrons,I hope you are all doing great!This is a special Poll about the HWS Marketplace.Special because... only recently I discovered that those filters were available for everyone since the beginning!! Oof. Originally, such convenience are only reserved for HWS Patrons, for you. I'll fix this asap.While the filters for OCD and Structure Commander worked, I think the filters for the HWS Marketplace were the most important ones, right?!Please let me know in this Poll how often you use the filters - I'm wondering πThanks in ad...
Holiday Delay
Good Evening Dear HWS Patrons,straight to the point: unfortunately I couldn't make it today. I underestimated the huge Reforged Eden Release and doing Support Tickets on my own, Christmas "duties" and overall time I needed to setup the new fourth server.I need a bit of time to recover and will keep you updated here tomorrow.Sorry, I know we all were excited for that today, me especially.I hope you had great Christmas nevertheless and a good start in a new week!RexXxuS

HWS Patreon Skins in HWS 14
Good Morning Dear HWS Patrons and a nice 4th Advent π―π―π―π―Some asked, so here is a little video clip and images of the HWS Patron exclusive Helmet you can get in HWS 14.

HWS Patron Quests and More are coming
I'm excited to announce a new revolutionary feature coming in HWS 14.Dialogue variables get synced and injected in the Database based on outside factors. In this case: find and meet new NPCs, detecting your Patron Level and based on that give specific quests, answers, etc.On a sidenote I want to say sorry it got a little silent here. I am currently just handling too many things at once again and Patreon is something I really want to make everything right and good.You can expect much cooler things for HWS Patreon in the near future - of cour...

A silent thankful post
Dear HWS Patrons,sorry to disturb you but I am just very happy to sit here on a Sunday and seeing that we reached 1700 Dollar per month!This is a HUGE amount for me personally and it helps so much for Jascha and me.Recently some personal costs happened to me so I am very grateful for that!It also motivates me a LOT to push for HWS 12 and beyond!So yeah, be sure you don't send your money to a "product" but to a human, that appreciates it very very much, even 1 Dollar!Thank you!All the best out there and see you all in HWS.Your HWS Te...

HWS Patrons + HWS 12
Good Morning Dear HWS Patrons,HWS 12 is coming slowly but with certainty. And with that one of the biggest patch for Empyrion and HWS overall!I can't share all details yet because I don't know myself what is possible or not. The new Galaxy alone is a big try and error for me right now (as everything, cause there is no documentation for it).Nevertheless I was thinking tonight what you think about a bigger integration of HWS Patron and the HWS 12 Universe? For example a dedicated Solar System for Patrons? Or a dedicated Role Play Mission ...

HWS Patron Support and what it also means
Dear HWS Patrons,the last weeks were super busy and some bigger things happened. One of the reasons I couldn't keep you updated about the progress of the new HWS 11 Universe.So the biggest thing happened was the development and release of our new eWSSC Tool:https://empyriononline.com/threads/tool-ewssc-empyrion-web-solar-system-creator-v1-0-0.91548/I made even Tutorial videos in english:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjmrl-zo-1o&feature=youtu.beAnd german:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovLdIckLEb0&feature=youtu.beThe videos took me about ...
Patreon Patrons Day | HWS 11 Universe | Part 2
Dear HWS Patrons,unfortunately the last days and ongoing, it's a hell of stress, frustration and resignation.I knew Alpha 11 will be a problem regarding CPU and the new weird flight controller.But that is nothing in comparison to the technical issues and bugs.Alpha 10.X reached almost a "stable" feeling and it's all broken again.Especially Instance Stargate Missions, something I am currently so hard pushing, got now fundamental issues, when players are stuck in the loading screen after playing them.This hits my motivation a lot....

Dear HWS Patrons,as announced in the forum I want to give you guys a regular update about our progress for the upcoming new HWS 11 Universe.Please keep in mind it's not finished at all and still heavy back and forth.Nevertheless you might see our intentions, ideas and leave feedback if you like.As always, since 4 years, it starts with a pen and paper πThe first thing I need to know is "what shape should it be"? In the universe, where chaos is mostly likely going on, it sounds weird, but for me it feels only good, if the shape is ...

Personal Teleportation Device Feature Unlocked by Goal
Dear HWS Patrons,finally we were able to implement the feature, we have reached for a while:the PTD!It gives you more flexibility in the HWS Universe and even some good incentives to help new players on Starter planets.With a little money sink you just have to make sure your inventory is empty - otherwise it will get wiped during the process. πWe wish you a lot of fun and once again, thank you so much Hayawen for realizing this! πYour HWS Team

Dear HWS Patrons,I really want to keep you updated more often and hope this is also what you like? Recently just a lot is going on... it feels like trying to climb a big mountain but it's cloudy on top but you know it will be damn worth it to be on top, right!?That is what the recent feeling for me is.2 reached Goals are bothering me I have not fully implemented yet: 1. To have the EGS HQ full of active Stargates / Missions 2. Activate the PTD - Personal Teleportation DeviceThe first is involved with a lot of work and every time I got some ...
