Hello Terraformers! [h2]The "Fish & Drones" Update is now available for everyone![/h2] The terraformation of your planet will go even further with the [b]introduction of fish [/b] that you'll be able to breed in the incubator or find in the wild! Did you like the autocrafter of the previous update? You will love the new [b]drones and logistics[/b] that will allow you to transfer items from inventories across the map easily, allowing you to automate everything! With this new logistics system, the ore extractor t3 lost the need be able to mine anything anywhere. So [b]all the newly placed ore extractor t3 will now extract ore depending on their positioning[/b] (same as t1 & t2). Your old extractors t3 will keep digging what they were digging, but we recommend to reset your old extractors to fully enjoy the new drones. We took a bit more time to fix bugs, so we are delivering this update one day after schedule, but we think it was for the best. [b]Check out the trailer:[/b] [previewyoutube=A4zwemH_P2Q;full][/previewyoutube] Your save files will transfer seamlessly to the update. But if you want to try a fresh adventure, [b]feel free to create a new game [/b] to fully experience this update! The goal of this update is giving more toys to play to people who want to spend hours into the game, while at the same time, making sure the new fish terraformation stage does not require heavy machinery, and shouldn't be too hard to achieve, as we want to avoid grind for the more casual players. Balancing the experience of a game with so much things to unlock and progression is difficult, and we try our best to keep the experience enjoyable trough the terraformation process, for new players and old ones. Amélie & I really hope you will like this update, and that the work we put into it during the last months will pay out! Thanks once again to everyone supporting us, giving feedback, reviewing the game, and sending us good vibes! Happy terraforming!
