We've just updated a new version (v1.507) on the development branch.
To try it, see the "How to switch branches?" question in the FAQ.
We will soon announce our next free update: the "Moons" update.
This update will allows you to go to another planet once you finished terraforming a planet. Once on a new planet, you'll be able to terraform it, while keeping all your blueprints, knowledge and equipment. You'll even be able to exchange resources between those planets and set automation between planets.
We worked really hard to offer you something new and exciting.
As usual, we are giving you access to an unstable and unfinished version on the dev branch. More than ever, be sure to duplicate your save files before trying it.
We will divide this playtest into multiple Steps as we need a bit more time to finish the full update :
STEP ONE : Try the new mechanics, but only with Humble. So you can only try it if you have purchased the Humble DLC AND you need to unlock the travel rocket (after end game) on Prime or Humble.
STEP TWO : Try the new mechanics, on a new free planet. The DLC won't be required from there. This will happen in a few days / weeks.
STEP THREE : We'll reveal it later :)
Let us know if you manage to go to another planet, exchange resources, and unlock cool new stuff!
Let us know if you experience significant performances changes or new critical bugs.
As usual, restart Steam to get the update, and backup your save before trying the dev branch.
All players must have the same version to play co-op.
If you have issues launching the game, remove all your mods before reporting bugs.
Temporary changelog :
New gameplay mechanic
Once you finished terraforming a planet, you'll be able to build an Interplanetary travel rocket that will allow you to go on another planet. You'll keep your inventory, equipement & known blueprints, but you'll need to build another travel rocket to come back. There is new machines to unlock based on a new System Terraformation Index. You'll be able to trade resources from one planet to the other.
New items
- Interplanetary travel rocket
- T2 Rocket Engine
- Cosmic quartz
- Quartz crafter
- T2 Rocket biomass
- T7 Backpack
- T5 Oxygen Tank
- Fuse cartdrige
- T3 Fertilizer
- New fuses
- And more...
Major changes
- You can now build different rockets on the departure platform.
- Some objects (mostly objects that grows things, like farms, animals farms, beehives, food growers, etc...) will now have logistics disabled for their seeds inventory. This should not change anything, as most of the time you don't want to change the seeds via logistics. Vegetables will continue to be pickable by drones.
- Humble : the departure platform will now be unlocked automaticly when the planet is terraformed. You still can find the recipe in the world.
