Trailmakers: 1.7 Spacebound is a FREE update, and Asteroid Sector (Space Sandbox Map) is free too as a part of it. Visit different moons, play around with loads of new cool space blocks and have epic Space battles with your friends - shooting lasers and dodging asteroids.

But this is just a teaser. Much more will be unveiled soon.

Modders! Now that we’ve gotten that stupid headline out of the way let’s dive into all the great tools coming to the Trailmakers modding community. We revealed two of them in the headline but two more notable changes are added utility functions and custom camera support. Enjoy!
