Tier 8 is coming in Update 4
"We're adding Tier 8 in Update 4, yeah! We're going to break your saves, yeah!"

- Jace, Community Manager

On December 4, 2020, a video was uploaded, in which Jace announces tier 8 coming to update 4, as well as additional information for the upcoming Update 4.

Jace announces that Tier 8 is officially coming with Update 4, which he says will release mid-February to mid-March. He discusses that the vision for Tier 8 has changed, and with this Tier 7 will have to change, which will change a lot of late game production lines. However he only discusses general topics, and gives no specific numbers. Specifically, the production lines for items relating to aluminium and Bauxite will be heavily affected, along side some of the late game technologies such as Nuclear Fuel Rods, Turbo Motors and Supercomputers.

"The main challenge here was intended to be the back merging of the Water by-product and a longer production line using a variety of different resources. However, we feel the setup has gotten out of hand for the start of a new Phase, which is supposed to be interesting or just 'different' and not necessarily complex. Also, we are still looking into reducing the number of Refineries outside of Oil production and alternative recipes (and Bauxite refinement uses a lot)." -Director Mark

Jace then goes on to discuss the movement of certain milestones, buildings, items, and production lines from lower tiers to higher tiers and vice-versa, as well as the implementation of a new building. He also says that they are very satisfied with the early game, and the earliest changes in milestone we will see will most likely be in around Tier 5. He then discusses that because of the late game changes, saves that delve heavy into late game production will see a lot of things break in their world, and should prepare using these three tips that Director Mark created:
 * 1) Don't start investing in Tier 7
 * 2) If you do invest, stockpile late-game parts
 * 3) That's it, there were only two tips

Patch 0.3.7.5
On December 23, 2020, a patch was released that introduced a new item into the game, the Fused Modular Frame.

This item cannot be sunk, crafted, or used for anything, and currently serves no purpose.

The Blender - New Feature Teaser
On January 7, 2021, a teaser was uploaded, showcasing the Blender building.

In the video, the building is seen assembling parts from Alclad Aluminum Sheets and Heavy Modular Frames. Two Pipelines enter the building, the contents of one cannot be seen, the other is empty. For just a few frames, it is shown that the building has one belt output and one pipe output. Water or another blue fluid can be seen in a large blending chamber in the building.

The item being manufactured appears to be some sort of reinforced fluid container. The exact name and recipe are not known.

A power line connection and a green Indicator Light is present on the machine, which means it requires power to function.

The Blender seems to be the answer to the mysterious machine mentioned in this video.
