We are almost ready to share with you our biggest update to date! The "Moons Update" is aimed at players that want more of the Planet Crafter experience.

Once on a new moon, you'll be able to terraform it, while keeping all your blueprints, knowledge and equipment. You'll be able to exchange resources between those planets and even automating everything.

Unlock new technologies, expand your operations, discover new moons, and terraform a whole solar system!
