The nightly build is open to everyone featuring a renewed game network layer and Economy system redesign.

Note that the Nightly version is unstable, may contain game breaking bugs and the savegame can be deleted frequently. So It is not recommended for new players.

The nighly build is designed to help report bugs and provide feedback while the version is finished.
In this branch the updates will be frequent, of the order of several per week.

Important: Changing to the nightly build removes the savegame from the Single Player mode of the Public build and vice versa. Multiplayer mode progress is not deleted even if you switch from one build to another.

Visit the official Discord of the game for more information, support and the latest news from the nightly build.
