Development Branch update - v1.307

Hello Terraformers!

We've just updated a new version (v1.307) on the development branch.
To try it, see the "How to switch branches?" question in the FAQ.

This version includes the modifications for the DLC (but not the DLC itself). There should not be much changes, but we are looking for new bugs implemented because of this.

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 :

Included DLC system and assets
Night is a bit clearer
Various performances optimization

The Rover Update is LIVE + DLC announcement!

Hello terraformers!

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

It's been a long time since we wanted to add a rover to the game, but we felt that the map was too small to justify it. With the addition of 2 new big biomes, and the ones we added those past months, now is finally the time to drive in Planet Crafter!

You will be able to craft the new rover and multiple upgrades to improve it. Explore the two new biomes: Lush Desert & Toxic Caves and maybe find the new wild animals roaming freely on your terraformed planet!

As usual, we improved existing biomes, 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.

DLC Announcement!

We kept it secret for long enough : We are working on a paid DLC for Planet Crafter!

We heard many of you asking for a way to get a fresh start while discovering new and exciting things once more. So we are building a whole new planet to experience the terraforming process all over again!

We decided to opt for a paid DLC to solidify the studio and be able to offer the best working conditions to our team. Still, we want as many people as possible to experience it, which is why it will be sold at a relatively low price and you'll only need to buy one copy of it to play co-op with as many friends as you want.

You can see the trailer here and wishlist it right now here:

We can wait to show it to you all!
