Hey Exofarmers! We’re full steam ahead, past the first week of Early Access now, and it’s been wonderful to see how much y’all have been enjoying your lil’ homesteads. So, we have a couple of points we’d like to touch on before the long weekend gets here~

[h3]End of Launch Discount[/h3]
As y’all know we have the 20% launch discount running to celebrate the Early Access, but that’s almost wrapped up now so here’s your note to go grab it while there’s just around 24h left! Perfect timing to grab it before enjoying a long weekend and get some serious farming done.


[h3]Early Access Launch Highlights[/h3]
Earlier this week we shared with y'all the HUGE milestone of reaching 700 000 + unique players across all platforms! We honestly can't thank you folks enough as this wouldn't have been possible without all of you exofarmers. One Week Update Post here. Please check it out!

Remember we really value your feedback, friends! If you have been enjoying the game please consider writing us a review, it really helps small studios like ours get the feedback and boosts on Steam that can make a big difference. If you've noticed any bugs or have any feedback for us - we've a couple mega threads on the forum where we'd love to hear from you; or join the Discord if you want to hang out with us and fellow exofarmers.
