We reached the end of the anniversary temporary event. Thanks to everyone who participate in the small celebration for the one year of Planet Crafter!
We hope you liked baking some pastries and cakes in the little special bunker!
You will keep all the items you crafted during the event, but the bunker won't be accessible anymore. Due to the popularity of the baking station, there's high chances it will come back in the game in the future, but it's not clear how exactly yet.
After a year of Early Access, Miju Games as a company needs to take some time to ensure it is properly structured. So we are aiming at this summer for the next update but we won't promise any specific date. We already have great ideas for it!
Happy terraforming!

It's been a year since Planet Crafter launched in early access!
This year has been wild, and it's the perfect time to reflect on what happened.
First of all, the reception of the game has been far better than we ever anticipated. With more than 500.000 copies sold during this year and a 96.5% overwhelmingly positive Steam rating, the success of the game has blown us away.
We kept our word and published 4 major updates while listening and integrating the community feedback along the way. We will release at least one more update until the 1.0 launch, and we will continue maintaining and updating the game after that.
This pushes us further to fully commit to the development of the game for a long time. We will improve the game the best we can, while keeping true to our initial launch statement.
Anniversary Special Event!
To celebrate we added a secret bunker in the game, containing a new cool feature inside! It will be available for the next two weeks.
Find the hidden bunker to discover its celebration content!
Brice & I are really grateful and humbled by everything that happened this year, and we want to give a big thank you to everyone who helped during this amazing adventure!
Happy terraforming!

The "Fish & Drones" Update is now available for everyone!
The terraformation of your planet will go even further with the introduction of fish that you'll be able to breed in the incubator or find in the wild!
Did you like the autocrafter of the previous update? You will love the new drones and logistics that will allow you to transfer items from inventories across the map easily, allowing you to automate everything!
With this new logistics system, the ore extractor t3 lost the need be able to mine anything anywhere. So all the newly placed ore extractor t3 will now extract ore depending on their positioning (same as t1 & t2). Your old extractors t3 will keep digging what they were digging, but we recommend to reset your old extractors to fully enjoy the new drones.
We took a bit more time to fix bugs, so we are delivering this update one day after schedule, but we think it was for the best.
Check out the trailer:
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!
The goal of this update is giving more toys to play to people who want to spend hours into the game, while at the same time, making sure the new fish terraformation stage does not require heavy machinery, and shouldn't be too hard to achieve, as we want to avoid grind for the more casual players.
Balancing the experience of a game with so much things to unlock and progression is difficult, and we try our best to keep the experience enjoyable trough the terraformation process, for new players and old ones.
Amélie & 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!
