We are closing in on the Early Access release on Steam.
We need your help to test the game to prepare it for the release!
Please share your thoughts and feedback in our forum and report all bugs you encounter. Especially keep an eye out for bugs with the new Steam Workshop drone sharing!
In case we detect major bugs with the new savefiles or with the drone workshop in this update, we might have to reset the Steam Workshop again for the Early Access release, so we don't have broken or buggy drones online.
Happy testing!
Cheers,
Stray Fawn Studio
