I do HWS and Empyrion for a living. Your support—no matter how small—means the world to me. It doesn’t just motivate me to keep going; it makes the whole HWS project possible.
However, please understand:
Patreon is not a shop for rewards.
Don’t become a Patron only for the in-game perks. That’s not the philosophy behind Patreon.
Instead, think of it like this: You’re playing on HWS for free, and we:
If you’re just looking for benefits, please consider supporting us through direct packages instead.
That’s it!
Link your Patreon account on HWS Connect, then your benefits activate automatically:
Your tier is re-checked about once a day while you use the site, so upgrades, downgrades and cancellations on Patreon carry over by themselves. The page also shows your current tier, what the next tier adds, and all HWS Patrons.
More details: 📌 You became a Patron – what now?
You get unique and powerful benefits as an HWS Patron. The always up-to-date overview of every tier and benefit (with a PDF download) is here: 📄 https://connect.empyrion-homeworld.net/patreon-tiers (no sign-in needed)
To stay informed, follow our latest Patreon posts.
In the spirit of my Patreon philosophy it is all about convenience and appreciation of our HWS Patrons. Once one Patron gets the HWS Logistics block, anyone can use it. In this case the very requested feature of auto farming your Bays and Pots. No tedious F spam anymore to collect your hundreds of plants!
Another convenience feature: heal a lot of life per second and get rid of any status effects with it.
Some rewards can only be claimed in-game:
🎁 She will deliver your Patron rewards.
Important: ➡️ Make sure you have enough inventory space before speaking to her!
If a new month has started and you’re still supporting us:
✅ Log into the game ✅ Check on the Patron page that your tier shows up
Usually nothing to do: your tier is re-checked automatically. If HWS Connect shows "Patreon status refresh failed! Please consider re-linking" or your tier looks wrong, click Link your Patreon account on the Patron page again.
An Astral Supergate is a small personal supergate for Astral Patrons, that works similarly to normal supergates, and can help you teleport back and forth in the universe for free — regardless of distance.
It has the special convenient attribute, that it can be placed on ECC and linked to your other Astral Supergate in another PvE Playfield.
If you're an Astral Patron, simply create a support ticket and request your 2 supergates, using our standard Supergate Template. The structure is essentially just a small HV, and its approximately 2 meters long and wide, which means that it can be spawned directly on your base - or on the doorstep into EGS HQ on ECC.
ℹ️ Keep in mind that the range of an Astral Supergate - unlike the normal ones - is approximately 3 meters radius. It's not large enough for a ship to be teleported with you. ℹ️ The Astral Supergate is assigned to you - the Astral Patron - and others can't use it. ℹ️ Like regular large supergates, they are stationary, and can't be docked to a ship.
When it's spawned in, you just have to go close to it and use the commandsg:?, so you can see all your potential destinations.
