After a few sleepless nights, The Crew Bots are finally ready to be Beta Tested! And given the importance of this update's new main feature to our playerbase, we're bringing back Beta Testing Rewards in the form of the Duopus Hat!
Read on to see instructions on how to qualify.
How To Earn the Duopus Hat:
1. Play the new 0.6.5 Beta Branch (see below for instructions).
2. Test out the new Crew Bots feature (see below for instructions).
3. Make a new post in the We Need To Go Deeper Steam Discussions with "BETA" included in the title of the post, outlining your feedback on the new Beta within.
Friend requests will then be sent out to those who qualify at the end of the Beta phase, and be given their Duopus Hat code.
How To Join The Beta:
1. Right click We Need To Go Deeper in your Steam Library.
2. Click "Properties"
3. Click the "Betas" tab.
4. Opt into the "beta" branch.
5. Wait for the download to finish, and play!
How To Use Bots:
Crew Bots are now available to activate or deactivate at will in any Online or LAN Lobby via these fancy little metallic buttons. Simply click the button to fill the slot with a Crew Bot in place of a human! Single player games are now possible with this, and Bots will happily fill in to help out smaller crews!
The plan from here is to use your feedback to get these Crew Bots whipped into shape, balance-wise and polish-wise! We'll keep patching until we think it's ready for an official release! Enjoy, and let us know what you think of the new Crew Bots!

Player of The Month
While this month was slower than most, our most passionate community members kept the discussion alive throughout, and most importantly, kept up their sense of fun and humor despite the recent lull!
One player in particular has kept up his sense of humor throughout all of Early Access, more often than not causing many team-members to spill their coffee over his dry, often unexpected wit. That's why Bread Scientist is October's Player of the Month!
While Bread Scientist may not be posting regularly, when he does you can be sure it'll deaden your spirits in the best way possible. With his Bill Murray-esque dry humor sensibilities, Bread Scientist manages to keep up a very consistent record of making developers and fans alike burst into laughter. Thanks Bread Scientist for all the laughs, and keep up the good work!
