[h1]0.7.5: The Architect[/h1] Hey Drifters! The [b]Architect[/b] update is here! We've heard your requests for the ability to relocate constructions and ways to restructure the town. It posed some interesting challenges and flabbergasted us for a while, given the game's setup, but we found a solution. Enter: The Architect! This specialist allows you to go into 'Architect Mode' and completely re-plan your entire town, re-think pipelines, or just move some buildings around. We've also been working on improving performance, the game should run smoother now :) [h2]What's next?[/h2] We are working on adding controller support to the game! We want to make sure it feels right to play on a controller and on the Steamdeck, and it’s also going to help us explore the possibility of bringing Flotsam to other platforms in the future. We'll start testing this on experimental soon. [h2]Early Access 0.7.5: The Architect[/h2] The Architect!
