Hey Giants!
The new update is here with unique additions, balances, and fixes! For the first time since release, we have added a new Final Era to the game linked to the wilderness and ambiance of the Atlantic Forest: the Tropical Paradise Era. Some final translations - mostly of the new giant abilities - are missing. This is a known issue. Expect them around the weekend!
We have updated the Roadmap to the latest changes and plenty of new content will arrive later this year! The next Major Update is scheduled for next month, so until then, let’s dig into the main additions of this update. You can find the full Patch Notes at the end of this Steam News.
New Biotica:
The Rainforest biome welcomes the Ocelot and Guarana as Tier 3 biotica but also Tinamou, Passion Fruit, Cougar and Vinaceous Amazon!
New Giants abilities:
The Ocean, Frost, and Swamp Giants are now gifted with new terraforming abilities: the Anomaly which doubles all tags on the Patch, and flips a patch between shallow or deep in the Ocean, the Rich Hills which gains 2 top patches that have a permanent Mineral booster and the Invasive Slot where slot can host any land implant or animal from another biome! What kind of ecosystem will you create with all these changes?
New Era, The Tropical Paradise:
A new Final Era achievement is born in this update: even if summer is over, the sunny days are still ongoing with this Tropical Paradise Era! Bring life to a tropical and colorful world with a large population to prosper. To unlock it, make sure you have enough Ocean, Rainforest and Savanna on your planet!
Give us your feedback on this new update on Discord or in the Steam Discussions! Stay tuned for the upcoming updates to come. We are brewing plenty of things for the end of the year (and before!).
