Eden Crafters News

Hi Crafters!

Controller support was in beta mode for a few weeks, it's now officially supported, but we still want to hear your feedback if you think some mapping should be changed.

The game is now optimized for Steam Deck. When you launch the game on Steam Deck, make sure you select the Gamepad With Camera controls template.

This update also brings some new terraformation objectives: when you are in the current last stage, you'll now see the percent done of various tasks, and a global Planetary Habitability Index which lets you know how much of the planet is now considered ready to be a new home for humanity.



Update 0.49b:
- New terraformation information in Planet Analyser and Monitoring Screen
- Improved controller support: in Build menu, hold A to choose the slot in your hotbar. In inventory/build menu, X is now equivalent to Shift+Left Click (build items part 10 by 10, transfer whole stacks,...) and Y equivalent to Ctrl+Left Click.
- Steam Deck optimizations
- Fixed misc. bugs

We would like to give you some information about the upcoming release of the third planet, Aetheria. Because of the recent updates in other parts of the game, there's still some work in progress in the new planet, and it will be delayed for a few days: it will be available before mid-December. Sorry for this slight delay, but we prefer to polish the new planet rather than rush its release!

Hi Crafters!

Today's update implements some features suggested by the community, and fixes some bugs.



Update 0.49:
- It's now possible to map mouse side buttons to game actions, from the Controls menu
- New items: two-entries conveyors mergers and two-exits conveyors splitters, more practical in some cases (splitting evenly to the two exits)
- Fixed a bug occuring in some cases when placing a conveyor (glitched conveyor)
- Fixed misc. bugs

The next big update will introduce the third planet, Aetheria, around the end of this month, first in a public beta testing phase.

Hi Crafters!

Today's small patch improves conveyors placement.

Update 0.48d:
- Further improved how conveyors snap to machines
- Fixed a bug where you would in some cases dismantle an item behind the object that you really wanted to dismantle
Update 0.48c:
- Conveyors and pipes will more easily snap to nearby machines entries and other conveyors.
- You can now use Alt to force straight lines with conveyors again (like before 0.48).
- Fixed a bug where machines would still be powered after a big wave in Ocean World. There might be a delay of 10 seconds before machines show their actual power received.
- It now takes more time to destroy a Basalt/Graphene/Phosphorus deposit. This is to avoid accidentally destroying a deposit.
- Fixed misc. bugs

Hi Crafters!

Today's update implement some features suggested by the community, including Drone improvements, and optimized conveyors placement.



Update 0.48:
- Conveyors will now use straight lines more often, especially when you make perpendicular paths
- You can now hold Left Click and move up and down while placing conveyors, to determine the heights
- Accessing machines while using the Drone will no longer exit Drone mode
- Drone can be now launched and operated from within a Living Compartment without issue
- Added a Photo Mode while in the Drone, hold F10 to hide UI and drone (then press F12 for Steam Community screenshot, or retrieve the screenshot in %appdata%\.edencrafters)
- Workbenches now limit to 100 instead of 30 the number of item you can queue (hold Shift to queue 10 by 10). But if you have to craft 100x an item, consider automating instead ;)
- Fixed a bug where power grids would not merge. In that case, you'll need to add a new power source to trigger the merge.
- Fixed misc. bugs

The 3rd planet should be available by the end of the month, stay tuned for more information!
