Beta Test: Flora & Fauna Update

[p][/p][p][/p][p]The Beta Test for our Flora & Fauna Content Update is starting today! Be among the first to explore an all-new star system, weeks before the update goes officially live. Play the Beta now and give feedback![/p][p]The beta includes a Free Playing Mode and three brand-new levels set in Star System 3, offering fresh challenges and new discoveries to explore. Compared to Ravsicle, the star system Paradeira is a far more life-affirming place. Volt Shrooms grow on asteroid surfaces as powerful energy sources. And in the craters meant for construction, eerie tentacles emerge.[/p][p][/p][h3]What’s New in the Flora & Fauna Update (Beta Test Version)[/h3][p]• Farewell, Ravsicle! | Away with the wool socks — move on to Star System 3! From cold and frosty to lush and green.[/p][p]• Advanced Star Travel | New starship construction quests! Paradeira has unique conditions and requires its own solutions to travel onwards.[/p][p]• Alien Plants | Explore the home of the Volt Shrooms. You might even grow a plant of your own! Put your gardening skills to the test, using seeds, plant pots, and fertilizer.[/p][p]• New Buildings | Forge, Bakery, Bio Lab, and many more![/p][p]• Unexpected Inhabitants | Tentacles are emerging from the craters scattered across the asteroids. What they want is unclear — but as always, when in doubt, there’s only one reliable solution: good food![/p][p]• Basic Level Generator | Generate levels of your own in free playing mode![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]How to Access the Beta on Steam[/h3]

Players can already jump in, explore new content early, and most importantly, give feedback. This helps the us as developers identify bugs, adjust balancing, and refine the overall experience before the final release.[/p][p][/p][h3]Who Can Join?[/h3][p]We decided to make access available to everyone who owns the Star Birds Early Access version.
