[h2]New Biomes[/h2]
  • The warp gate wrecks: Explore the crashed mega structure
  • The dead land: Will you be able to find what secrets it contains?
  • The lush valley: The perfect place to create your lush forest
  • The red desert: Wrecks, caves and mysteries!
  • New caves: Will you prefer the cave of wonders, the uranium cave, or another one of the new cave?



[h2]Secrets[/h2]
For those who like to explore and discover misteries, the Early Access version will be full of little stories and secrets. Every rock could hide something new. Every wrecks could be more than it seem's.
At least 5 secret places have been added to the game!

We recommend starting a new game with the Early Access version, but we are trying to make it so that your previous save files will still work. We can’t guarantee it for now, but we’ll do our best to make it happen.

The development branches will be removed some days before launch, but the prologue and demo will stay. A massive thank you to everyone who helped us find all the bugs and provided us with amazing feedback. It has helped us tremendously!

If you want to help us bring the game to your language, feel free to participate in the community localization on localizor.

The price at launch will be 19.99 US$, we’ll add a special launch discount for the first week, so be sure to get it as soon as it’s out!

We can’t wait to give you access to this version, and see how you will terraform your planet, which kind of trees you’ll plant, and how your planet will turn out!



See you soon, and good terraforming !

Road to Early Access!

Hello Team!

[h2]The development of the Early Access version of Planet Crafter is full on![/h2]

The exact launch date is not set, but It will be really soon, and It's just a matter of days before I announce it!

The Early Access version will introduce the Moss, Herbs and Trees terraformations levels. You'll have to use D.N.A manipulation to create trees seeds and make your world green!

It will let you build new base elements, like the rounded pod corner, or signs.

You'll discover new machines, like a Gas Extractor and the long awaited Recycling Machine!

- Improved performances for meteo events

- Added a "120" fps target framerate in Options
- Hide compass on photo mode
- Removed "Plain wall" from unlockables as it was leading to lots of bugs


Good terraforming!
