About
This DLC follows the ending where Jan Scientist stays on the planet. Average playtime is estimated at 20 hours.
Jan Scientist can finally pursue his true calling. While other Jans left, he stayed to lead a team of new specialists - assembled by and from himself. Only a scientific crew of perfectly aligned altered Jan Scientists can offer the expertise needed to unravel the Oasis phenomenon.
Studying nature's survival here in space is a life-defining opportunity. However, this goal-oriented plan of the Jan Scientists might not be so apparent to Jan Geologist, Biologist, Chemist, or Physicist.
The Oasis, a lush paradise that shouldn't exist, becomes the mystery you will obsessively try to solve.
Terraforming the nine arenas unlocks it, forcing the landscape to yield answers. But with each seemingly right step on a research path, the planet responds with implacable earthquakes and radiation, hinting at secrets best left undiscovered.
Your biggest hurdle? Years-long planetary cycles of scorching sunrises that force you underground. Setting a functional underground base requires building in varied soils, constructing new components, and researching modules like the Cryosleep Chamber, which buys time to witness your scientific actions' long-term effects.
Still, even in cryo-slumber, increasingly vicious cycles wear down your crew’s readiness to work.
Each planetary cooldown offers a brief window to freely explore a dramatically changed surface.
Terraformed landscape opens new building possibilities, spawns bonus-providing pickables, and lets you evolve your research-essential technology by extracting and refining new planetary resources. Specialised structures further let you transform, combine, and amplify what you gather.
Field Labs introduce new assignments for alters to continue their work while you cryosleep. But will they change once faced with the vulnerability of ageing?

That's how you make a DLC. Not lazy, pretty huge.
Bravo 11 bit studios! You have outdone yourself with the DLC! In last variable, you take on Jan the scientist, who create scientist alters to explore the Oasis. Jan the scientist said " we are all scientists, this must be smooth sailing, right?" Bu the alters, like in the base game, is faar from that! All the scientists has distinct personalities, unique background, and some very flavorful quests and conversations. The gameplay itself takeplaces on a large map that you will explore again and again, and really expanded on the resource gathering/resource extraction aspect. It gets really complicated! But fun to figure out! [spoiler]Especially the time booster![/spoiler] The base building aspect is also a step up (down?) as you need to navigate obstacles in the underground bunker. The pacing is much more intense than the base game, the first few cycles are easy and chill, but the latter one asking you to optimize your workflow while dealing with events, and trying to explore the mystery of the Oasis. As usual, the visual and the music is stunning, and the ending, is chief kiss! What a ending! For the dev, I wish there could be more conversation with JanBot, just casual ones. There are also some minor bugs and glitches such as when a new alter is born the convo could bug out, and sometime you get stuck on climbing. I also wish there is bit more guidance on the [spoiler]doubler buidling[/spoiler], as it is crucial to late game production. The combat could also be optimized. Overall it is an amazing DLC if you enjoy the Alters!
不推荐,至少等打折再入手。 1.遇到了恶性bug:[spoiler] 无法建造第三个野外实验室[/spoiler],导致玩了20多小时,剧情无法推进,只能再网上看了其他人的结局视频,体验很糟糕。 2.剧情方面,各个分身的剧情很单薄,完全不如本体有差异性,有成长。同时结局很拉,完全没有逻辑,我觉得一个智力正常的人不可能搞这种设定:[spoiler] 搞科研不传承前人的科研结果,而且此次从零开始,那你搞个锤子科研。 [/spoiler] 3.最后,游戏性本身也没有什么突破,成天拿个破手电筒一直照畸变,从头照到尾,没有让人眼前一亮的新设计。
More alters more better
Лично для меня это дополнение превзошло основную игру (хотя она безусловно тоже очень понравилась). Прокладывание труб конечно могут немного задушить, но новые механики разбавили процесс игры. Новые персонажи достаточно интересные, мне даже хотелось пообщаться с ними больше. [spoiler]Теперь придется еще долго отходить от концовки... [/spoiler] Из минусов: два раза вылетала игра и в некоторых локациях случались фризы, но в целом не так страшно (по крайней мере тут нет бага с материалами как в основной игре)
Шикарное дополнение, очень понравилось. По уровню контента такое же количество что и основная игра. Жаль что альтеров меньше, но они так же все разные с интересными историями.
Si vous avez aimé The Alters, foncez sur The Last Variable. Le jeu est toujours aussi magnifique, avec un cycle jour/nuit encore plus impressionnant et stressant. On retrouve toutes les excellentes mécaniques du jeu de base, enrichies par de nouvelles fonctionnalités comme le terraforming, qui apportent un vrai plus ( visuel et mechaniquement), ou encore....à vous de le découvrir. Les choix moraux restent au cœur de l'aventure et donnent toujours autant matière à réfléchir. Petit point négatif, je n'ai pas trop aimé les Alters qui sont clairement tous dépressifs pour des scientifiques... Pour seulement 15 € (gratuit si vous aviez pris la version Deluxe ?), le DLC offre entre 20 et 30 heures de contenu supplémentaire (sans me presser j'en ai eu pour 26h), un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Une extension qui prolonge parfaitement l'expérience, surtout si vous avez aimé le scientifique.
ドキッ!ヤンまみれのDLC! 俺と同じ科学者ならいけると思って作ったオルターは、俺と全然違うし、文句ばっかり言ってくるし、もうどうなっちゃうの!? DLCではあるが本編の半分ぐらいのボリュームは余裕であり、お値段を考えるとお得な気がする。 ■残念な点 ・他に報告を見ていないので再現性は低いようだが、バイオロジストのタスクが途中で進まなくなるバグに遭遇した。 ・パイプを繋ぐのは正直めんどいが強い。もっと楽にして欲しかった。 ■気になったところ 滝の裏で見つけた先代ヤンのアイテムはどう使うんだろう? ■ゲーム作品としての感想 本編のAltersより、 11 bit studiosの悪いところ(説教臭い、余計なこだわりを感じるめんどさ)が 出てしまってる気がする。 とはいえ、楽しく遊べたので、全体としては良いと思う。
You can do this, Jan. Once more unto the breach
