What's next?! A Lot!

Hello terraformers!


It's been 3 weeks now that the Moons Update has been released. We spent this time reading your feedback and trying to fix what we could to improve your overall experience. Our small team of 6 has been hard at work to polish all the content we put into this free update to make it even better.


We couldn't be more grateful as the game just passed 50,000 Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam, and it's so rewarding to see you all play the game in many ways we didn't anticipate!


We will now start to work on our next content. As announced previously, this will be a new DLC. We can already tell you it will be a new planet, with new mechanics and story telling. Codename: Toxicity.

The Moons Update is LIVE!

Hello terraformers!

The "Moons Update" is LIVE!



Less than 6 months after The Decoration Update, we are back with our biggest update to date! The "Moons Update"!
We dared to ask : why only terraform a planet, when you can terraform an entire solar system?!


This update will allow you to go to two new moons, once you've finished terraforming your first planet. Once on a new moon, you'll be able to terraform it, while keeping all your blueprints, knowledge and equipment. You'll be able to exchange resources between those planets and even automating everything.


Unlock new technologies, expand your operations, discover new moons, and terraform a whole solar system!





Frequently Asked Questions



  • Is this update free?
    Yes!

  • How do I play it?
    Terraform a planet (Prime or Humble) entirely (complete terraforming stage), unlock the Extraction Platform and the Travel Rocket. Build a Travel rocket on the Extraction Platform to go to the moons! (You may have to deconstruct the rocket if you already have built a Extraction Platform)

    Alternately, you can start a new playthrough from Selenea, but we do not recommend it, as it's for advanced players only.

  • Do I need to start a new game to play it?
    No, you can continue with your save file. Unlock the rocket to travel between planets once you have finished terraforming a planet.

  • Can I go from Prime, to Humble, to the moons?
    Yes! If you have the Humble DLC, you'll be able to travel between all those planets & moons!

  • Can I go to the moons from the Humble DLC?
    Yes! If you started your adventure on planet Humble, you will unlock the travel rocket once you terraformed Humble too.

  • If I play in co-op, can I be on one planet and my friend on another?
    No, all players will play on the same planet or moon at the same time.

  • If I'm on a moon, does my terraforming process continue on other planets?
    Yes, all terraforming, drones, ore extraction, autocrafting, etc. continues while you travel from planets to planets.

  • If I started a playthrough on Prime, and another one on Humble, will I be able to merge my save files?
    No, unfortunately, you won't be able to merge save files. So you'll have to choose from which one continue.

  • I have a problem, something is not working!
    Be sure to update or remove any mods and that your drivers are up to date.

We hope you'll like this update as much as we liked making it!



Changelog "The Moons Update" - v1.518:

New gameplay mechanic

  • Once you finished terraforming a planet, you'll be able to build an Interplanetary travel rocket to go on other planets. You'll keep your inventory, equipement & known blueprints, but you'll need to build another travel rocket to come back. There is new machines to unlock based on a new System Terraformation Index. You'll be able to trade resources between planets.
