Happy new year from Miju Games to all terraformers!

Hello terraformers!

First of all, Brice & I wish you all an amazing year 2023!

2022 has been a great year for Miju Games, and we are really glad Planet Crafter received such an overwhelming reception!

We will continue to focus mainly on Planet Crafter during the year 2023 and after that.
We still have a lot of ideas for the game and we want to bring it to the next level during this new year.

We kept our promise to give you an update every 2-3 months last year, and we'll do our best to continue providing quality content untill the full 1.0 release.

[h2]The next update[/h2]

In order to prepare the future of the game, refine our workflow and find talents that will help us improve Planet Crafter even more, we worked on a lot of things that were not directly related to the next update during the last 3 months.

Because of this, we are now aiming for the end of february for the next update. This little delay will give us more time to add meaningfull content to it.

[h2]Roadmap Update[/h2]

So here's an updated roadmap for the year to come. Of course, this is not a final version, and it can change depending on how things go. We'll update it during the year.

And we plan to continue maintaining the game even after the release with free updates and DLC's.

So if you like Planet Crafter, rejoice, there's a lot more to come!

Development Branch update - v0.6.009

Hello Terraformers!

I've just updated a new version (v0.6.009) on the development branch.
To try it, see the "How to switch branches?" question in the FAQ.

This version is a minor performance and code refactoring update, it should lead to almost invisible changes and maybe some performances improvements.

As usual, restart Steam to get the update, and backup your save before trying the dev branch.

V 0.6.009 : Minor Technical Shenanigans
- Clean up some models to improve performances : Containers, Energy generators, ...
- Reduce Heater T5 Smoke
- Clean up some unused code
- Improve Reflexion Probe performances
- Change the loading system of the planet
- Update Unity version to 2020.3.42

Planet Crafter Devlog #3

Hello terraformers!

It's been one month since the release of the "Lore & Automation" Update, and a lot of new players joined the Planet Crafter adventure!

[h2]Next Update[/h2]

We can't say yet what the next update will contain, but we can already tell you that it should be released around the end of january.

We read your feedbacks about the previous update, and we agree with some of them saying that the Ore Extractor T3 is a bit overpowered currently. So there's good chances that it will be nerfed in some way, and rebalanced with new options.

The relation between autocrafters and growables shoud change a bit too. Currently, the autocrafter will use a growable even if it's not fully grown, and the algae growers can be a bit tedious to set up. We'll try to adress this in the best way possible.

Let us know what you think about it and be prepared to refactor your base a little bit when the next update comes!

[h2]Community Showcase[/h2]

We are still amazed by the creativity displayed by the Planet Crafter community, and we wanted to, once again, give a shout out to some incredible creations!
