Hello everyone! We're releasing a small update with some tweaks and fixes.

While we cannot tell you any date yet, we're now working on some major update ; stay tuned, you'll have news as soon as we've got some to share!

Please find today's patch changelog below :

[h2]Microtopia - v1.0.9c[/h2]

• The radio stockpile is now more expensive to make.
  
• Changed hazmat digger recipe, now requires digger + hazmat ant at a combiner.
  
• Fixed an error causing ants to sometimes illegally enter a building.
  
• Catched an error causing a save to not load.
  
• Radio stockpile can no longer hold liquids.
  
• Fixed a few issues with ant descriptions.
  
• Tweaked hazmat digger recycler yields.
  

Note : We didn't manage to fix the giant ant bug, as we're not sure what causes it exactly. But we think it's kind of funny and not impacting the experience, so how about it becomes a feature instead? :D

Hey all!

Get yourselves ready for another update! This time though we bring some new exciting features!
Introducing the radio stockpile and the hazmat digger!



The radio stockpile is a new special kind of storage building. It has the capability to send construction materials to buildings on other islands! Keep it stocked with a specific material and you’ll always be able to build with it, no matter where you are on the map.
This is a pretty big shift in the balance. It removes a major constraint and will likely shake up progression in different ways, but I’m confident these changes will be for the better!

The hazmat digger is a new ant caste that fills an important gap in the colony’s workforce. Now you can safely dig those hazardous deposits found in later biomes without risking your other ants.
Both of these features can be unlocked in the tech tree. Find all other changes in the changelog!
Hope you have fun!
