If you've been waiting for a sign to dive into that game you've been eyeing or share new game experiences with friends, this is it!

Like many of you, we're ardent fans of the strategy genre and are stoked to discover titles we've had on our wish-list but never got around to. But of course, as a part of this vibrant community, we're also adding our own splash to the fest.

We're beyond excited to see you at the Steam Strategy Fest. Let's celebrate the brilliance of strategy games together, and savor its magnificence and diversity!

Last week, we launched the Experimental Branch, and it has greatly assisted us in testing new features, while also giving many of you the chance to try out different changes firsthand and share feedback with us.

This has been immensely helpful in development, and we're grateful for your active participation! As a result of that testing, we have rolled dozens of small fixes and tweaks into the main game. We’ve also added a few larger changes in as game settings, so players can customize their games.

[h3]In the last week, we added the following to the main version of the game:[/h3]

• Non-depleting Nodes. We received feedback that some players wanted to focus more on base-building without needing to expand to find new resources. We hear you! Now, you can start a new game with this option enabled. The largest resource spots in this mode are infinite. This opens up vast possibilities for base development!
  

• The ability to disable minigames. Among our players, there are those who don't want to be distracted by puzzles. Now, you can find a toggle in the game settings.
  

• No Danger Mode. We've added the option to start a new game without any alien bugs at all. This option is available alongside the hostility settings when starting a new game.
  

Please note that by choosing the game mode without bugs, you won't be able to obtain certain resources that are exclusively harvested from them. These resources may be necessary for specific development branches. However, we've added this mode for those who would like to play in a completely non-aggressive environment.

Also, based on community feedback:

• Added a Gamma slider
  
• Right-click on a Behavior in your library to upload to all selected units
  
• Allow cross-region matchmaking
