Hey everyone,

Over the last few days I have been reading every single piece of feedback received for the game, and I completely understand where it's coming from.

That's why I am taking it all into account, today I am releasing a new BETA branch for the steam game.

It is to address all the issues with the game and to allow you to play it before it is fully released.

Here's what the BETA currently contains:

- COMPLETELY REWORKED HAYSTACK PHYSICS
- Economy and progression balancing
- New water pipes, automation machines, new resources and upgrades to unlock
- Optimization and performance fixes (more of this is coming soon too)
- Day/Night cycle
- Different game modes and options when creating your world, so you can play how you want.

Please consider that the beta may have bugs, if you do run into any, please report them to me and I will have them fixed ASAP.

Have fun!

- Jahvin

To switch to beta branch:

1. Open the game's properties and open the game versions tab
2. Select the Beta version and it should update your game to the beta.
