"Space Trading" Update is LIVE!

Hello Terraformers!

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

The terraformation of your planet will go even further with the introduction of frogs that you'll be able to breed in the incubator or find in the wild!

You will be able to send new rockets in space to gain Terra Tokens that will allow you to unlock new blueprints for new decorations, a cooking station, T2 Drones, new habitats, and more!

Are you ready to push your exploration further with the new biome ? Get ready to dive deep and discover the secrets hidden underwater.


Check out the trailer:

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!

We took the time to read your feedbacks and implemented a lot of changes based on it to improve your overall experience with the game. By popular demand, drones can now harvest algae and vegetables, just set up a "demand" inventory for those items, and drones will get to work.

Amélie & I really hope you will like this update, and that the work we put into it during the last months will pay out!

Thanks once again to everyone supporting us, giving feedback, reviewing the game, and sending us good vibes!

Happy terraforming!

If your game is not up to date, restart Steam to download the latest version (v0.8.008) If you have any troubles or bugs, update or disable any mods in use
