Space Engineers 2 Adds Hostile NPCs In Hostile Encounters Update
Keen Software House released the Hostile Encounters update for Space Engineers 2 on October 20, adding hostile NPCs. The enemies come in two types, Renegades and Boatmen, and the development team describes the Boatmen as a stronger leader-type among the Renegades. The NPCs open doors, move around obstacles, hide behind cover, relocate when cover is destroyed, share information about allies and threats, and change behavior when damaged. The update also adds a Damage Indicator and a Dynamic Crosshair.
