While the ghost has eluded detection (he comes out in October), there are still quite a few different secrets to be found! See what you can find and earn you and your fellow players more in-game rewards! Just post your screenshots to the community hub as you find them. If you find a silent space slug that hasn't been found already, you get to name it! The ones that have already been found say something if you bump into them or get near them. There are many other secrets still to be found too, here is a running list: https://steamcommunity.com/app/857860/discussions/0/3108017414040352882/
Toss-up-date!

You can now throw objects with your air cannon! Simply right click to pick up an object, and if you want to throw it, left click to throw it! It will blast with the power of your projectile launcher (controlled by your projector ability). If you want to just set the object down, you can still do so with right click (as you could previously). Light objects launch at higher velocity.
Now there is a new sound effect for when you are rolling over wood!
Scavenger Hunt
There have been rumored ghost sightings again! If anyone can find the ghost, post a screenshot to the community board to earn all the players an in-game award! If you find any space slugs in your searching, post those as well, for additional in game rewards. There is also rumor of a rare albino space slug somewhere in game - if you see one and post to the community hub, this will help further research in that area!
More game content is on the way, I have been working on some other interesting projects, which have given me a number of cool ideas to add to Planetary Settlers, which should be on the way soon!
The Ground Beneath my Treads
I have added a new sound effect developed by Kyle Misko, now you can hear gravel crunch beneath your treads as you roll along, particularly when you are rolling fast!
I also fixed the bug that was preventing Planetary Settlers from displaying correctly in full screen. Please let me know if you encounter any further issues.
Beta 22: Ground Sound and Bug Fixes
Added ground sound effect
Fixed full screen bug (Planetary Settlers should now work in full screen mode)
Fixed other minor bugs
Treasure Chest Rewards Update
Treasure Chests are here! Pass quizzes to get the following:
60% = Wood Treasure Chest: elements that make up the chest
70% = Bronze Treasure Chest: 2 coins + elements that make up the bronze chest
80% = Silver Treasure Chest: 4 coins + silver (which makes up the chest)
90% = Gold Treasure Chest: 8 coins + gold (which makes up the chest)
100% = Diamond Treasure Chest: 16 coins + the element that makes up the chest
These rewards are in addition to the ability points and medals that are already awarded for completing quizzes. The treasure chests can be collected repeatedly by passing the quizzes repeatedly. The quizzes are different per attempt, and pull 10 questions from a list of 25 questions. This is the April Fools event reward, and is planned to remain in the game! I plan to add stuff to buy with the coins soon. You can currently see how many coins you have by seeing how much cobalt you have - I plan on adding a coin display soon as well.
Chest Update (Beta 21)
Added chests as a reward for completing quizzes as a reward for the April Fools findings (note: I planned on completing / releasing this update much sooner, but a concussion and dog health issues slowed me down).
Minor bug fixes
April Fool's Rewards on the way!
Good job on finding some of the April Fool's pranks! I am surprised no one saw the "ship flat tire" dialogue, the phone in the toilet dialogue, and the purple sun as viewed from Earth. Don't worry, they will be back next April though! As a reward for all the secrets found, I am working on a loot chest system, where you will get elements and various other prizes for completing quizzes. Expect this in the next major update!
April Fool's Update
For the month of April, there will be 3 April Fool's jokes throughout the game (the one with the cell phone is planned to stay longer)! Pickups will be awarded in game for jokes found - comment here and / or post a screenshot if you find a joke (ones that have been in the game already count too).
April Fools Update Beta 20
Added 3 April Fool's changes to find (which show up during April). One of them (involving a cell phone) will stay around all the time.
Fixed a bug where the settings menu was displaying over the first loading page in certain situations.
