The first update has arrived! Before we dive into the new patch notes with additions and changes, we have an extra surprise - the official content roadmap! With this update, we are crossing off part one and starting work on part two! More about the roadmap will be available in our Discord server.

With that said, it's time to play! Get your controllers out and have a blast, colonists. We look forward to seeing your feedback and how everyone changes their characters. 🚀
