Hey everyone!

After spending way too long building power systems, terraforming fogs, and a small army of autonomous rovers… I finally sat down and did it.

Crafting is now in the game!

This update introduces the core crafting loop:
• Mine ores like iron, copper, silica, and more
• Refine them using the Refinery to get rods, ingots, and cores
• Craft materials like wires, glass, and alloys in the Crafting Station
• Print buildings and machines with the Printer using power and materials

Alongside this system, I also updated the UI for all three machines, added new resources like aluminum, silver, uranium, and even introduced a robot graveyard (long story… it involves my 6-year-old and a lot of guilt).

Blueprints are now unlocked through exploration and terraforming research, so you’ll start with an empty printer and unlock more as you progress.

This is a huge step toward turning this into a proper survival crafting game, and I can’t wait to hear what you think.

If you haven’t already, wishlist the game on Steam to be notified about the upcoming playtests and to help us reach more players.

Thanks for being here,
Thorin

Blossom just got wheels! Lots of them.

In the latest update, I’ve added fully functional rovers to the game! These handy bots follow you autonomously, and you can chain them together to form full-on rover trains. Better yet, each rover can carry custom modules on top—storage, batteries, solar panels, wind generators—letting you build mobile bases that move with you as you explore the surface of Mars.

This system solves one of the biggest early-game survival problems: limited inventory and power. Now, instead of returning to base constantly, you can bring your base with you.

But that’s not all. I’ve also added:
• A rideable vehicle that can tow rovers like train cars
• Modular sockets that make everything part of your power and inventory network
• Upgraded physics, visual effects, and terrain handling for smoother traversal

You can see everything in action in the newest devlog video, including how the system works behind the scenes and all the funny bugs along the way.
