Hello terraformers!
We uploaded a new quality of life patch for Planet Crafter
We took some time to iron some things out, answering your feedbacks as usual, just before we started working on our next big update.
Indeed, we have big things in store for all the terraformers out there! We are working hard on the next piece of content for the game, and can't wait to show it to you.
As this will be a big update, we'll take a bit more time than usual to cook it, but we aim to give you more information soon. In the meantime, be sure to join our Discord server and follow us on all platforms!
