Welcome colonists, to your playtest recap for versions 10f to 10h. Any missing letters are due to internal versions that weren't released to playtesters, or one of us forgot the alphabet.
If you're a playtester, changelogs for each version are sent to your playtest version of the game in your library.
If you’d like to playtest and help us improve Outworlder, just click the playtest access button below the wishlist on the store page. We hope to accept as many people as apply!
