Howdy everyone,
Great news! The Planet Editor update is feature complete!
Other than that, it's been a little quieter this week - we’re going through feedback and polishing the Planet Editor update. Thanks to everyone who is giving us feedback ːsteamhappyː We should have a release date for you all soon-ish!
macOS
As you'll know from our announcement a few days ago, the macOS version of Before We Leave is finally here on both EGS and Steam! Thanks to everyone who let us know this was something they wanted - as always, your feedback and the time you take to give it to us is greatly appreciated :heart: If you encounter any bugs, please let us know down in #player-support and mention you’re using the macOS version of Before We Leave.
Lockdown in NZ… again
So we’re in lockdown again. We’re very confident this won’t affect the studio or our work on the Planet Editor update, but if it does, we’ll let you know! To our fellow Kiwis - kia kaha! We've got this!

- In Planet Editor, resource caches now sensibly connect to roads

- Fill slider now changes in 5% increments
- If you build a Whale Charmer without visiting a second planet (because your custom planet is set up to allow it), space whales now start arriving
If you're keen to try out the Planet Editor sooner rather than later, don't forget you can try it out in our Beta Branch here on Steam.
That's it for now folks! See you in a weeks time :)
