Hello Terraformers!
I've just updated a new version (v0.5.001) on the development branch.
This version is a preview of the "Insects & Waterfall" update. To see the new stuff :
- Explore
- Open your craft menu
- Check the T1 biodome screen
Please report any breaking bugs in the #dev-branch-feedback channel on Steam forums or on our discord server. I'm particularly interested in anything related to performances (better performances after this update, with insects, on new biomes, …)
Content creators should wait a bit to create content, this version is not definitive and can contain bugs.
