The "Volcanic Update" is now available for everyone!
The map of Planet Crafter is once again getting bigger with the addition of two new biomes, the hostile volcanic biome, and the beautiful beach biome.
The new Optimizers, coupled with rare fuses, will allow you to improve your machines in all kinds of ways. By increasing the production speed of ore extractors, the energy produced by generators, or the terraformation speed of other machines! This will give a way for all players to gain more control on the speed of terraformation, and reduce some of the grind of the late game.
If you are ready to start a new game, the new games settings are the perfect way to personalize your Planet Crafting experience depending on your play style. Now allowing Creative mode, or ore randomization to renew your experience.
Your save files will transfer seamlessly to the update. But if you want to try a fresh adventure, feel free to create a new game to fully experience this update!
This update will not contain the mammals terraformation stage. We started working on it, but we want to take the time to make it right. This stage is complex to do, and we want to do it well, so we decided to leave it out of this update.
Exciting news for the Studio!
But that's not all, we have some surprises for you. The first one is that Miju Games is no longer only two people, but five! We have been joined by Emilie (3D), Florian (Environment) and Serge (Code) to help us keep true to our promise of maintaining this game for a long time.
This has only been made possible because of the support of this incredible community, and we are really grateful to be able to grow the studio because of you!
We still have one other surprise, but we'll tell you more in the next weeks!
Bundle with Forever Skies
We have also teamed up with our friends at Far From Home, the crew behind Forever Skies to create a bundle.
Forever Skies is a first-person post-apocalyptic survival game. You are a lone scientist returning to Earth, ravaged by an ecological disaster. Once there, you’ll get to fly, upgrade, and customize a mobile high-tech airship base as you explore. Scavenge resources, upgrade your tools and abilities, and descend beneath the toxic dust that has enveloped Earth as you hunt for viral pathogens to complete your mission.
And remember, if you already own Planet Crafter you can still use the the bundle to get an additional 10% off from Forever Skies.
Thank you!
Brice & I really hope you will like this update, and that the work we put into it during the last months will pay out!
Thanks once again to everyone supporting us, giving feedback, reviewing the game, and sending us good vibes!
Happy terraforming!
