The Explosive Update is LIVE!

Hello terraformers!

[h2]The "Explosive" Update is now available for everyone![/h2]

We wanted to add a few things in version 1.0, but we didn't have time to do so. So here is a new free update with all this content less than two months after the 1.0 release!

You will be able to use the new explosive devices to access new hidden areas, such as the new Red Falls biome.

We improved the procedural wrecks generation to be more engaging and fun to explore by adding new rooms. And if you're lucky while exploring, you might discover a genetic trait for a new animal species!

Additionally, we added a new skins system, allowing you to change your outfits by collecting more than 15 skins! This will make it easier to differentiate between your friends while playing in co-op!

As usual, we added new items & quality of life features, fixed some bugs and we hid new secrets!

Your save files will transfer seamlessly to the update. But if you want to try a fresh adventure, feel free to create a new game to fully experience this update!
And remember that you must use the same version to play with your friends.
