I'm very wary of saying too much, VIP NDA and all, but I recommend checking the "Battle" subfolder as well.

We know about the Sowers and Humans. There is really only one Major Faction left that is a complete mystery.

Sowers? Can you point me to where in the files you found that?

After all, we already know there will be two returning and two new factions. Terrans was the UE tag in ES1. So going by the ship files above, as I see it: Horatio and UE, then "TimeLords" has to be new. So there's no room for the Sowers except as a minor faction.

That said, the "Terrans" could be new, since "Terran" is a really generic term, so I am interested in knowing where the information on the Sowers is. (The public files are quite different than the VIP files I dug around in before. Much more "sanitized").

Someone found clues regarding the Main Quest for a faction that mentions the Sowers. But hey, I'd rather the Automatons get added instead, as they and the Amoeba were my favourites. 

The only reference to the Sowers I find in the quest folder is "TechnologyWonderSowers" on the Exploration Droplist.

In the Simulation folder, said wonder is listed as causing -50% growth but adding 30% of it to Industry.

So I have to say, I'm really not convinced the Sowers are back.

looks like absolutely temporary name  and like some reference)))

To all, don't forget, there will be two more races from ES1 and one new.

The first time I saw this I thought that it is a placeholder name for clockwork people aka Automatons, just like Vampirilis is for the Vodyani.

Between the "Terran" filename and the Pathfinder hero, my money is on the UE rather than the Sowers as the industrial faction, with Horatio as the Ecologists, given that Ecologists are as much about growth as the Horatio were.

That being said, everything we find in the files is as likely to be a corpse of an abandoned thought as it is to be a vision of things to come.

Vampirilis is the working title of the Vodyani, so unfortunately no hint there. It is strange that it displayed that, and without the % designating a localization string.

I noticed vampirilis when one tooltip bugged out patch:

That one wasn't me, I did do that during ES1; before Pilgrims or Sowers were official.

Oh. That's cool either way :) Keep it up!

The more eyes the better, look around in the game folder.

This made me giggle.

Update: I kept digging

Courtesy of leaving a Visual Studio project file hanging around we know that there are some files that are named with "[PostEarly]." This tells us that they made a decision to sanitize the Early Access game from people like me :)

Additionally is a file with "[Gamescom]" tacked on, which is probably related to the version they had at that con.

ummm who could it be that uses Empire type goverment ? that one is hard heeehehehe

I hope to see Horatio return. Amoeba shoul be in istead of the unfallen

Maybe UE will be an Industrialist Dictatorship?
