Hello dear Regain Earth community & pioneers,
Today we released a bigger update for Regain Earth: First Strike.

First of all, we would like to thank the first testers very much, who gave us feedback and provided us with new ideas. Especially to Dennis “D-Power” W., Tino “Draven” E., Jonas “Jonas” M., Jan “otto” G., Melanie “Suesse Maus” S. and Devin “Stachel” S.!
Not all ideas have been implemented yet, but many changes in this update are based on your feedback.
