Beta 29.8 Release Notes
Hey everyone!
Beta 29.8 is now available. While we are working on the Lost Colony, we wanted to take some time and make a smaller content update for the game. This update adds what we think is a fun secret as well as a nice handful of new processors, some of which allow you to teleport to other crew members! We think these new processors will add a nice level of convenience for some crews if they are willing to use up a processor slot.
