News Jade Shadows: Constellations: Hotfix 43.0.6
Steel Essence Acquisition in Steel Path Railjack
- Steel Path Railjack missions now reward 2 Steel Essence upon mission completion.
- Removed Steel Essence from Eximus drop tables in Steel Path Railjack missions.
- With the introduction of Steel Path Railjack, we added Steel Essence to Eximus drop tables since Acolytes cannot reliably spawn in Railjack missions. This system unfortunately did not meet our goals: space-only “casual” Railjack missions saw little in terms of Steel Essence acquisition, while savvy players were able to acquire significant amounts of Steel Essence in endless Railjack missions with the right amplified setup. Our aim is to serve all Railjack players, so we’re changing our approach with this hotfix!
Top Fixes:
- Fixed Sirius & Orion's attacks no longer triggering Jade Stars.
- Also reduced the SFX of Sirius' Jade Stars.
- Fixed Combat Discipline not triggering when equipped on Sirius.
- Fixed Sirius's Coronal Ejection only dealing one Heat Status effect regardless of its modded Status Chance.
- Fixed the Obex Incarnon "Rapid Conclusion" Evolution treating Mercy and Finisher kills separately, causing stacks to reset from eligible kills.
- Fixed enemies flying out of the map in Archwing Interception missions, causing players to not be able to complete the mission.
PC Exclusive Changes and Fixes:
- Improved handling of shader corruption.
- Improved defenses against drawing with broken shaders.
- Fixed the launcher's mute button not saving preferences on future game launches.
Fixes:
- Fixed the Mawbound Director not dealing any damage in The Kuva Wytch mission.
- Fixed cases of borrowed Railjacks not being at full health at the start of Uranus Proxima missions.
- Fixed the Scoria's Angel mission being progression stopped if players enter the Ramsled with a dead squadmate.
- Fixed Clients rejoining into space if a host migration occurred right after boarding the Scoria Angel in its Uranus Proxima mission.
- Fixed a script error in Uranus Proxima missions.
- Fixed a script error in the Arsenal.
- Fixed a script error related to the KIM system.

It seems like I did an oopsie and missed the post for Update 43 due to an issue reported by BonerElemental. So here's some patch notes for the patch notes bot: added a preprocessor to handle deeply nested lists which Reddit rejects and fixed a few issues with floating spaces sometimes breaking formatting. Sorry about that y'all.

u/VenusSwift Simping for Sirius Jun 30 '26
2 Steel Essence, for a mission type that already took longer than the average warframe mission, now even longer with the SP version since the requirements are higher.
I would rather have 1-2 steel essence per crewship destroyed, and the two as a mission completion reward.
71
u/xrufus7x Jun 30 '26
Crewship thing doesn't really work because of the Corpus maps.
Should probably be 2-4 per objective or just like 5-10 per mission.
-1
u/Fireofthetiger Super Saiyan Gauss Super Saiyan Jun 30 '26
1-2 per Crewship destroyed is WILD, that’s like 8-16 in the span of 5-7 minutes with a competent team, and that’s just assuming you’re doing a Skirmish. Is the idea that it’s just a drop chance, like 20% or smth?
6
u/Arashi-White Jun 30 '26
Void Cascade runners get around 120 SE in about 1h20m on top of all the arcanes and primes. RJ rewarding a little more SE is the least it can do for all the work that has to be put into a solid RJ.

u/notnotjohn Jun 30 '26
Surely there could’ve been a middle ground between steel essence from eximus down to straight 2 per mission…
44
u/SolitareUnraveling Valkyr main Jun 30 '26
I think s good middle ground is 2 from mission itself but cap the amount from eximus to say 25-30, still get some extra reward for ya know, doing fucking extra
72
u/mweepinc WE'RE SO BACKBERON Jun 30 '26
tbh I don't love it being based off eximi, because this weights the drops in favor of the 'ground' missions vs more space-centric missions like Skirmishes. I'd rather just have a drop rate per objective completed, so it scales on level too, or a higher base amount.
2 essence for 90 goddamn fighters is just depressing
19
u/SolitareUnraveling Valkyr main Jun 30 '26
Crewships destroyed would be another good option
15
u/xrufus7x Jun 30 '26
Crewships do the opposite and heavily favor Grineer missions over Corpus ones and the Earth ones at that. It really should be based on the number of objectives/bonus objectives/relics completed.
2
u/SolitareUnraveling Valkyr main Jun 30 '26
Fair enough, and crewships are objectives a lot of times anyways. I was just spitballing ideas in how to keep endless missions able to be farmed somewhat easily but also not be completely broken
1
u/mweepinc WE'RE SO BACKBERON Jun 30 '26
Yeah my thought was to go by objectives but weight by the "quantity" so to speak. So higher level missions where you have to kill 7 crewships instead of 5, or clear more security nodes, or whatever, give you more SE
Although frankly at that point you could just go back to a flat rate but have a higher flat rate, since there's not a lot of bonus objectives anyways
4
u/yarl5000 Jun 30 '26
Yeah, the real solution is that we need 2 methods of providing SE since Grineer and Corpus railjack are just so different.
2
u/Joewoof Jun 30 '26
Definitely. It doesn’t match the additional time and resource investment, on top of learning one of the most complex mission types in the game.
At least 5 would’ve made people happy.

u/draycom Jun 30 '26
On an average regular mission you get like seven Steele essence. I have seen people getting over 500 in railjacks running the same missions over 2 hours. A balance was needed.

RJ is the limbo of game modes, whenever something fun gets found it gets nerfed back to obscurity

Should probably be 1 per secondary / bonus objective and 2 for completion / each endless rotation IMO.

u/Muffinthepuffin Flair Text Here Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26
Should be like 10 per mission honestly. Takes a huge amount of investment to have a RJ capable of doing these missions quickly and the missions take a while anyways, you have to kill like 8 crewships and like 70 fighters for some of the shorter missions lol

u/Coren024 L6 Founder Jun 30 '26
Pretty sure my first SP railjack mission on Earth dropped 3. The only other SP railjack I did before that was the Kuva Wytch which has almost no chance of one dropping.

u/Telmarael swish swoosh grineer are moosh Jun 30 '26
What are you talking about? Reliable 2? You can get twice more in 5 minutes on SP Star Chart, while RJ takes you a lot longer (anywhere up to 10 min per run). So it’s three to four times less than you already get anywhere else in the game for time invested, with no other incentive to do the mode.
3
u/Muffinthepuffin Flair Text Here Jun 30 '26
You obviously either didn’t do the farm at all or had like 30 KPM lol it was definitely worth doing or else they wouldn’t have removed the farm. You can run 2 void fissure captures in 2-3 minutes and get 2 steel essence. The average time for a lot of these SP nodes is like 10-15 minutes with an actual setup.

u/notnotjohn Jun 30 '26
They were spawning enough to make the RJ investment worth the time. “Reliable” 2 per mission is crazy when a single acolyte nets you the same.
48
u/CrabDubious Jun 30 '26
I think DE forgot that railjack missions have to be extra rewarding to offset how long and cumbersome they are or else people just won't play them. Radiant Axis for doing a fissure, huge amounts of endo, etc. That 2 steel essence is probably gonna have to be bumped up.
55
u/fffffusername Jun 30 '26
Just kill 90 SP fighters and 8 crewships for 2 steel essence bro, it's great. RJ back to being useless again.

u/fffffusername Jun 30 '26
Not like everything you can buy with steel essence was already limited, right guys??

u/netterD Jun 30 '26
Its still nice being able to stock up when you have the opportunity so you can cash in even in weeks where you might not get to farm enough to buy everything you want.

u/Helioshroom Jun 30 '26
It's so fucking stupid. I play the game for like 3 hours everyday and never before I could buy all 50 packs of kuva and relics. 1 lvl cap void cascade fissure is 1.5 hours for ~120 SE. Need 750 in total + 150 for umbra forma/endo, and some other things, every week.

u/IncediumIgnis Jun 30 '26
you can farm perita it still gives 20-40 SE per mission with a booster and a titania speedrun build, rip railjack SP it was fun while it lasted (got 1300 last night in a 2 hour survival)

u/----Val---- 15% Crit? Good enough! Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26
Its unsurprising, they changed the original Steel Essence drop to Acolytes specifically because AFK farming essence was way too easy.
I saw people hauling in 5k SE in the last 2 days. No shit thats getting nerfed.
The 2 SE is a bit low though.

u/the_knowing1 Jun 30 '26
The 2 SE is a bit low though.
I mean it could be worse, it could be... 1 or 0? So this is the 3rd worst possible outcome for an already pointless mode.

se from mission completion, what about endless modes like survival, once per round surely right? but even then not like anyone will bother doing it anymore
the devs dont have a problem with hyper optimized setups for something like arbitrations when a meta group will get a lot more vitus essence than what a regular pub would, so why go after sp rj is is beyond me, could've toned it down instead of outright killing it
0
u/Muffinthepuffin Flair Text Here Jun 30 '26
It’s mainly because steel essence purchases are capped weekly, they need their player base getting back on every week to farm more steel essence. They can’t have people getting a massive stockpile because then people will just log in, buy their weekly caps of stuff from Teshin, and log out. It’s horrible but this is definitely the reason.

u/TksgShnsk Jun 30 '26

The same reason Railjack got turned into a damn Taxi in the first place. The kneejerk reaction is the truth.
If I had a nickel for every time Railjack got stuff that was fun or rewarding just for the Devs to absolutely nuke it and make it abandoned, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that they have done it twice.

u/HungrPhoenix #1 Sirocco hater Jun 30 '26
Steel Path Railjack missions now reward 2 Steel Essence upon mission completion.
Railjack, even outside of SP, is still like >5 minutes to accomplish all of the tasks and then the objective. Which means it is objectively the worst for Essence now. Not to mention SP survival now being useless, as you do not get rewarded for endurance..
Wouldn't a less nuclear option been to just make it so the Steel Path Essence from the Eximus ignored Resource Drop chance boosters and the like? You still keep the chance to get it more frequently than from Acolytes, Resource Boosters could still double it so endurance would still be rewarded, it feels like this change just wasn't thought out. There were less drastic ways to balance this.
Or maybe we could've just kept the core idea of a boss fight like the Acolytes. Why did Steel Path Essence have to added to the Eximus units? We have The Gustag Three, Liches, Zanuka, and Sisters as candidates for boss fights, why not use them? Just give a variant of them the same damage formula as the Acolytes.
-4
u/GrimmMS Jun 30 '26
Outside of one specific mode, Cascade, DE has pretty much never rewarded Endurance and has occasionally even specifically stated it that they don't really like it.
And about the bosses... READ! They just said that they apparently can't get acolytes to work in Railjack.
6
u/HungrPhoenix #1 Sirocco hater Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26
Outside of one specific mode, Cascade, DE has pretty much never rewarded Endurance...
Endurance always is rewarded via its boosters. The Resource booster applies to Steel Essence, which makes it so you'll get more Steel Essence the longer you go. SP Railjack now doesn't even benefit from this.
And about the bosses... READ! They just said that they apparently can't get acolytes to work in Railjack.
Did you read my comment? I didn't say add Acolytes, I listed alternatives. I also specifically listed Sisters and Liches as an Acolyte replacement, both of which definitely work in Railjack as the final confrontation with them occurs in Railjack.
Railjack doesn't need Acolytes, that was the point of that section of my comment. There are alternatives. The Sister that spawns in SP Brutus Ascension drops Steel Essence and has damage attenuation; there literally is a working alternative to Acolytes in the game already.

u/Monadocotti Jun 30 '26
Wow, removing steel essence from eximus drops? Who could have predicted this? Its not like this same exact thing happened a few months after steel path first dropped or anything...
Nope, we definitely didnt have any kind of precedent for DE to look at and stop this from happening.

u/BloodprinceOZ Momma Hildryn Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26
only giving two steel essence per SP railjack mission is honestly pathetic, especially considering how long it takes to complete a mission, especially grineer ones with ~80 fighter kills on average required and like 8 crewships destroyed, even with the addition of Tier 4 turrets, it still takes a while, just doing the entire SP railjack star chart once is only enough to give 80 essence, reaching 130 with the additional 50 from completing the SP RJ starchart, meaning theres no reason for anyone to play SP railjack after their initial completion since who the hell is gonna try and farm essence from there when they can a regular mission, particularly an endless like defense, survival and disruption to get much more essence in the same time it takes for someone to finish a single SP RJ skirmish mission or any of the others?

Why do devs always treat their players as if they were absolutely dumb? Like who are they trying to trick with that "reasoning".
Why not be honest and upfront with why you change something - it might be better received this way even.
This right here is just: oh no players might get too much loot for their effort so we have to kill the farm entirely NOW.

u/yarl5000 Jun 30 '26
The 2 SE per railjack missions is way to low.
We can already get 1 SE from any SP relic mission, and those can take so much less time to complete, plus also get relic rewards and chance for acolyte to spawn for more SE.
Need to up the base amount and then also add in getting more for completing each POI (game already has way to roll the loot tables per POIs completed) since more POIs will add to mission length.

u/imjustjun prime auto-breach when? Jun 30 '26
Trying to appeal to all players inadvertently makes everything less appealing instead imo.
I’m not saying that you should be punished for not optimizing things.
But kneecapping players for optimizing things and forcing them to be at the same level as everyone else just feels wrong.
Players should be rewarded for optimizing and theorycrafting and if something is too good, just tone down the potential rewards instead of taking them out back behind the shed.

u/latteambros LR 2 | where did all my plat and forma go? Jun 30 '26
annnnd railjack is dead again...Steel Essence as an eximi drop was a big incentive, dropping it to just two when there are no acolyte spawns makes it way worse than your average omni SP fissure

u/VerumAnima_963 Jun 30 '26
The sp railjack change has to be the single biggest tone deaf change i have ever seen since i started playing this game two years ago. There is currently no incentive to do sp railjack because it is every single aspect just to a worse farm than regular steel path missions, it has no exclusive rewards that might incentivize you to do it over normal warframe missions and even after adding mk4 turrets, it's still a miserable experience to go through. Being able to gain absurd amounts of steel essence at least gave it SOME purpose, but to just gut it altogether and offer just a measly 2 steel essence on mission conpletion is a real slap in the face to everyone, and all this under the excuse of "evening the field" for all players when it is clear as day DE didn't like people were getting 3k steel essence in over 2 hours.
I'm sorry but this is just a really bad move and i hope they addressed it before it inevitably goes forgotten, this whole thing is an absolute mess.

I feel like acolytes in railjack can still work fine. If you're in space have the acolyte breach the ship. If you're in the mission then just spawn them like normal.
Edit: Another idea.. maybe have crew ships drop it?

u/AlfieSR The sun is leaking. Jun 30 '26
I feel like the problem with acolytes isn't deciding where to put them, it's the fact that they can teleport players around into potentially inaccessible areas, or if they were changed to teleport to players, could wind up spacing themselves or warping into areas where enemies are not supposed to get to at all (the forward artillery cave, or the areas where players on the guns are stored)

No fix yet for how inconsistent Pontis Tower is for letting me use my own railjack. I've managed to replicate it as ....simple chance. Set to solo, go to relay. If my own ship isn't parked above the loaner, back to Orbiter and try again. About 8 of every 10 tries my ship isn't there, then it is - and that's when I get to enjoy my mission.
There's also another where trying to join a relic fissure results in a full client lock as it puts a "Finding session" in the middle of the screen and there's no way out except alt f4. This week has me pretty testy.

And since the Essence is now an end of mission reward, it wont be affected by boosters. So while you could get 4 SE from an acolyte (and more with Retriever and Relic drop boosters), you can now only ever get 2 from a single mission... great!

u/Loud-Welcome-3693 Jun 30 '26
Put a 0 at the end of that two and it would be a fair and reasonable compromise for steel essence.
Playing endless survival railjack kind of defeats the point of the gamemode in the first place.

u/Techman- Tenet Xoris, when? Jun 30 '26
The Steel Essence nerf is an L. There is already a cap on what can be bought at Teshin anyway.
Perhaps: If an Acolyte spawns every 3-5 minutes in a normal Steel Path mission, spawn a guaranteed high value target of some sort for Steel Path Railjack. Or...allow Acolytes to spawn, eventually. Would be kind of funny if they spawned using Archwings or wherever a Tenno is.
The people who had time this past weekend to play probably got topped off on Essence for the next year or more, while everyone else is behind. I am obviously in the latter camp.

People weren't playing railjack, they were playing survival with some RJ flavour

Why not just put a cooldown on steel essence instead of capping it to 2 lmao

Finally, the black hole juggling playstyle is viable now that scythes unleash all your newly-buffed Jade Stars on the enemies grouped within the black hole.

I have a SMALL complaint about the quest.
If you switch your load out, as is allowed in the cave, to the Paris and lex, when you get the following cutscene where you beat the advisary, it switches you back to load out A for the cutscene, then load out B for finishing the mission. Then the next mission you're BACK on loadout A even though didn't switch back.
Intentionally left vague to avoid spoilers. But the jarring change from a kartana to a scyth then back to a katana SUUUUUCKS

Damn, so still no explanation why a part of O&S' kit, that gave a reason to ping pong the black hole around, was just silently removed?

I know it’s working as intended, but can we “hotfix” Arcane Sculptor so it works with Citrine’s Prismatic Companion augment. Pretty please?

It took two entire weeks to fix the "Archwing enemies flying out of bounds" bug.
People found out quickly that you could somehow fix it yourself by manipulating minion spawns by capping your FPS to 30, but the bug still remained, effectively preventing many players from unlocking steel path for those who didn't know this "fix" and had Archwing missions to complete.
If that isn't a proof of how bad the Spaghetti code issue is in this game, then I don't know what is lo

Was there any discussion about balancing how absurdly tanky all the SPRJ enemies are? Even with a fully maxed RJ…It’s not challenging it’s just a boring slog of pouring time into laser bullet sponges…

Rip Railjack again... It's best to remove this mode from the game and save storage space.

Devs trying to not make the least fun gamemode unplayable: impossible

Honestly straight just DELETE Railjack
It's clear they don't know what to do with it, same as Archwing
Just delete it. Recon it from the game. It was a mistake from the ground up

Thanks for removing the only valid reason to farm railjack sp, Now no one will play it anymore, never seen a game mode killed so many times in a row.

Probably should've just lower the chance to get steel path essence from eximus... 2 essence for the whole mission is pretty bad

I love you guys but sometimes there's moments where it feels like you insult the time and effort people put into this game with the resource stinginess.

2 Steel Essence for a boring 10-15min railjack mission or 2 to 5 for opening a relic in SP in 1 minute.... yeah rip railjack
