If you see any bugs or issues, don't hesitate to report them on the discord or on the Steam forum. We are only two developers working on the game, so we've probably missed some issues, but we'll fix them as quickly as possible! Edit: if you have some issue, please check if you don't have some old mods still active, as some can break the game. All texts have been translated, but if you see any mistakes, don't hesitate to give us a feedback or directly suggest a fix on Crowdin
Warning: you can continue playing your old saved games, but we strongly recommend starting a new world, as major changes will break a lot of things and require some heavy repairs. However, you can continue playing the 1.0 version by activating the branch v1.0.6 in the steam properties of the game.
The Fire World is extremely hot, so you'll have to cool it down by neutralizing its greenhouse gases and launching shade satellites into orbit! But there are also constant lava eruptions, both deadly and beneficial, as the lava creates mineral-rich basalt patches when it cools down... The lava is completely simulated, so it's up to you to use the terraforming tools to try to control it and protect yourself!
There is also no water in sight, except for a few geysers. But you'll now be able to launch rockets to bring ice comets to your world...
The Water World is a planet almost entirely covered by water. Your main challenge is that you only have a few tiny islands on which to develop your civilization. But by cooling down the planet in a controlled manner, the ice caps will grow larger, causing the water level to decrease and giving you more dry land. You can also use dams and the terrain tool to create even more dry land.
On this planet, the water is polluted by minerals, but you'll be able to filter it to both recover the minerals and allow sea plants to grow. These plants will help plankton spread, which in turn will help produce more oxygen and terraform your planet!
In addition to these two new worlds, the free update brings a lot of changes:
Levels have been replaced by a tech tree, giving you more freedom to choose which technologies you want to unlock first. Cities are also more useful now: the more population you have, the faster you earn tech points. Upgrades have also been introduced to improve transportation: trucks, train wagons, and drones can carry 2 containers instead of 1 after being upgraded. The Fat Train upgrade even unlocks a new train with 4 containers per wagon! There are also some end-game endless upgrades.
The ice caps are now dynamic, with their thickness changing as you progress with your warming or cooling terraforming.
More tools to warm up or cool down the planet, including shade and mirror satellites, ice comets to bring more water to your planet, and greenhouse gas neutralization.
Oceans are now much more useful, with sea plants and plankton helping to produce oxygen, as well as sea farms that can produce food!
Several long-requested items have also been added, including smaller ships, large airships, very long-range drone extractors, and floating extractors.
Plan B - v1.1.0 build 1347
Major improvements:
Tech tree
(DLC) Volcano planet, with dynamic lava
(DLC) Water planet, covered by water
Dynamic ice cap (change with climate warming), dynamic snow coverage (change with seasons)
Upgrades (trucks x2, trains x2, trains x4, drones x2, floating depots, train acceleration, extractor efficencity, drone speed
(DLC) 5 new music (menu theme, and one music for each new planet)
Improvements:
(DLC water) Water Filter, to clean mineral-polluted water and get minerals from it (Ocean currents cause water at the bottom of the oceans to become enriched with minerals, rise to the surface, move from the equator toward the poles, and sink again)
(DLC lava) Geysers to get Water and Nitrogen
Water plants (produce oxygen, need clean water)
Plankton, automatically produced where there are water plants. Produce a bit of oxygen, neutralizes mineral-pollution of water
Hovercrafts (small container ships that can move on ground when water recedes)
Dialog history panel
Greenhouse Gas Neutralization building
Rocket, with 3 items : add Mirrors (warm up), add Shade (cool down), get Ice Comets (add water)
Water farms
Drone Extractor : fast extractor with range of 60 (especially useful for fire world)
Charts: new panels for mirror & shade satellites, and for water/ice
Improve perfs when moving/zooming camera into a new area (better models pooling system). Big difference when scrolling camera

\[1 diverse seed + 5 carbon + 15 water => 1 forest] modified to \[2 diverse seed + 5 compost + 15 water => 1 forest] (to simplify tech tree)
\[4 reinf concrete + 10 HT parts => 1 dampump] modified to \[4 reinf concrete + 10 mech parts] (to simplify tech tree)
\[3 carbon nano tube + 1 alu => 1 spacelift cable] modified to \[3 carbon nano tubes + 1 reinf steel => 1 spacelift cable] (to simplify tech tree)
