Do note, 6.0 is not necessarily the TRUE Final Update, merely the last planned major update.
Support for the mod is planned to continue for as long as there’s a living community around it,
which includes addon development (though much slower and spread out) and bug fix patches or
minor content additions.

Addons

Extra Equipment - Releases alongside 5.1

weapons, or gimmicky for vanilla Multiverse

with future MV updates

Infinite Mode - Releases post 6.0

● The Sector Map will now generate beyond sector 8 and has no end
● Enemies will be able to scale much further than before
● Prices of equipment and upgrades will be adjusted to slow progression alongside
enemies (not as much as say, Captains Edition infinite though)
● Unique sectors will spawn at certain benchmarks rather than after a certain point
● Bounty Boards - offer special quests that carry over multiple sectors
● Potential “escape conditions” to start one of a few possible alternate win conditions
● Adjusted lore to account for the new mechanics

Corporate Addon - Releases post 6.0
