Less than three weeks after Update 19, we decided to release one final update to close out the year! This update brings some much requested small changes and balance adjustments, as well as a raft of bug fixes. Thanks to everyone who has played our game, and we'll see you in 2026 with more updates and the v1.0 launch of The Last Starship!
