Build 127, the first pre-alpha release of v7, is now available on the v7-testing Steam branch.
To opt in, right click Mindustry in your Steam library, then click Properties -> Betas -> Select v7-testing in the drop-down box.
Note that this is a highly incomplete version of v7. Most content planned for v7 is unfinished, and will not be included in this release!
Ideally, this version should be more stable than 126, but without a release, I cannot say for certain.
The current "stable" version (126.2) contains severe bugs & balancing problems that have been addressed in this release. Due to these issues, I may have to split the v7 update into two different parts; whether or not such a split release happens at all depends on how long it takes me to finish the "interplanetary" v7 content.
Consult the Mindustry Trello for more information on plans for the full v7 release.
