Welcome Colonists!
We have substantial fixes and changes that have been greatly requested by our community today!
Take advantage of these updates now! The Steam Next Fest ends in 2 days, and so does the Outworlder festival beta. Going forward we will looking at our paid release of the game, with a date to be decided soon.

- Waypoints to other players now show the distance in a tooltip
- Chair flipping is now allowed
- Increased grenade damage but lowered damage over range
- Protected unbreakable blocks against dynamite mining
- Improved positioning of setpiece markers on minimap and ensured debug-teleporting to a surface setpiece spawns you somewhere on the surface
