Got this released yesterday for PC but didn't get a chance to post about it!
Here are the notes:
Fixed a bug where Colonists would take no radiation damage
Fixed a bug where some Colonists would be unable to interact with buildings
FIxed some of the placement spawns on Candor to be correct.
So just a small patch, but hopefully we can get the fixes out for Mac soon.

Working on bug fixing patch.
Hey Everyone,
So we have had a few posts in the bug reporting thread so we just wanted to let you all know that we are aware of the bugs and are currently planning out some time to fix them. It is our hope we can have a new patch out for you this weekend. In the meantime, keep on reporting!
Cheers,

Next PeriAreion Patch Goals
Hope you are all enjoying the Summer Sale!
We wanted to quickly let you know that we want to do another update to PeriAreion but don't know when we will be able to get to it. We would like to add in custom base building (place your building where you want!) and a new random terrain generator to create new maps and challenges.
Hopefully we can get some time in the next few months to work on that update. Until then, let us know if there are any issues so we can continue the bug fixes/tweaks.
Cheers,
Cameron
Patch 6.1.1 Difficulty Selection Bug Hotfix
It came to our attention awhile ago that there is a bug that occurs with some users that prevents the difficulty selection menu from popping up after selecting your crew. After extensive testing we can't seem to replicate or find anything that might cause this.
So to help out those users that do have this problem, we have put in a cheat to skip the difficulty selection menu.
After choosing your crew hold LEFT SHIFT + C and then press 1,2,or 3 to play on casual, normal, or hard difficulty respectively.
DO NOT use the cheat before selecting a crew, as this may cause you to load in without any colonists.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Cameron
6.1 Released for Mac!

All the best,

Patch 6.1: Bugfixes and Energy Changes
Hey Everyone,
Just released a new patch, 6.1! Here's whats new:
The game should now support 21:9 aspect resolutions. ("New Game" appears behind the title screen and some superfluous text is cut off on the research tree but otherwise good to go.)
The base power system has been overhauled. Beyond being more balanced, operational costs for modules now only apply when performing a task in that module and don't scale off of the level of the module. This way if you start to run out of power, you can always stop your base tasks and not use any power.
Power is now generated separately from use once you get a tech module. The recharge is constant +x power/sec depending on upgrades. Some research tree upgrades have been changed to reflect this.
The map screen should no longer cut off on some resolutions
Colony Experience earned from base tasks has been reduced somewhat
Building the final specialization buildings on Candor will now take the proper amount of time.
Filtering Ice at the water tanks will now consume power
Mac build should be available soon.
Cheers,
Cameron

Mac Version of Patch 6.0
So might take awhile to get a Mac version out of the latest patch. Our Mac build comp kicked the bucket yesterday...
In better news, we are going to try and get a few more updates in along with the patch bugfixes.
Keep you posted.
PeriAreion Patch 6.0! MSEPS!
Greetings Mars Fans!
After a bit of a break for other projects, we're back with update 6.0! We have had this one 99% done for a while, but spent a bit longer on testing to make sure that everything is good to go.
Here are the major changes.
POIs and Missions
New Inventory System. Colonists can now pick up/drop equipment and samples.
MSEP equipment. The tech module task "Communicate with Earth" has been replaced with "Build MSEP". An MSEP, or Mars Surface Experiment Package, can be deployed at experiment sites to gain funding
POI system overhaul. POI/Assignments have been removed and replaced with a new sample, data, and experiment sites. These sites are based off current and purposed science experiments for Mars and utilize three different mechanics: Data Collection, Sample Collection, and MSEP Deployment.
Events from the "Communicate with Earth" task have been added to the random event pool.
All sites can now be discovered while driving the rover, albeit at a reduced range.
Balancing
Tasks now cost additional resources and take longer to complete but rewards have been scaled to accommodate.
Cancelled tasks now refund their cost.
Radiation and Frost effects now damage colonists regardless of time of day.
Maps
Map edges and sky boxes have been cleaned up/replaced.
The map screen HUD has been simplified and darkened
Audio
<*>Button feedback has been added to a range of buttons including HUD, research menu, building tree, PeriAreipedia, and pause menus.
<*>Colonists now play a mining sound while they work.
<*>Music volume has been scaled back.
HUD
A new alert overlay on the map button will appear while a weather condition is in effect.
Sustainability objectives will now be displayed in the to right corner after choosing a colony specialization, allowing players to more easily track their progress towards winning the game.
Added a new end-game victory cinematic.
The old landing site images have been updated.
BUGS
<*>Fixed a bug where the base specialization would not correctly unlock the winning conditions
<*> Cleaned up some mineral spawns on Hellas that would spawn out of the play area.
<*>The starting splash screen has been debugged and added back into the game.
<*>Clicking “Back” while having a landing site selected will now correctly close the landing site rather than take you to the main menu.
<*>Colonists portraits no longer flash red when not taking damage or inside a module.
<*>Building sites on Mawrth and Hellas should now spawn in the correct locations.
