It's been a while since the last update, but we've been hard at work for the past two months, improving the game, and now we have an exciting new update for you!
Bulblands Biome
Firstly, let us introduce the newest biome! The Bulblands are all about the power of life energy, both revitalizing and dangerous. The main challenge they pose lies in the mysterious bulbs that change shape depending on their surroundings.

Each crop type has a unique planting zone, bringing new diversity to your structures. Additionally, there are two production recipes for each crop type, letting players select their preferred resource generation method!
New Menu
With the new update, you might be pleasantly surprised right from the moment you launch the game. We've prepared a refreshed menu that is now much more intuitive and visually appealing.
Let us know what you think about it!
