Minor bugfix in Mining Drill
The bad news is that in the process we damaged the Mining Drill.
We've been out of office for a few weeks and dealing with some seasonal flu and stuff, but finally we got hands back on deck and fixed the bug, so now the Mining Drill works fine again :D
Important Bugfix
The game crashes on certain computers, the crash happens randomly, is not easy to replicate, and it's not consistent on any particular level or section of the game.
We've been tormented by this bug for a while now, but we found out there's a memory problem in one building.
We fixed that and hopefully, the infamous crash bug will be no more.
Still, if the game crashes on you, please let us know.
Sincerely, The Ceiba Team.
Bugfixes and an important announcement
So, there's this annoying bug that's extremely difficult to replicate where, if you have two displays with different resolutions, the minigame with the circuits might not work correctly.
It took us almost a year to finally replicate this bug, but we made it and fixed it!!!
A few players also found a couple of localization errors, we also addressed those.
Besides that, we have an announcement to make, we will probably make a public statement with more details, but for now, you'll notice that the splash screen is different. That's because BadLand Publishing and Ceiba Software & Arts decided to terminate the publishing contract. This was a mutual decision; we are still in a good relationship, but the important part is that SOOT will appear as self-published for the time being.
Right now if you want to help us, you can do so by leaving a review and sharing the game on your social networks, every bit of help is super helpful for us, we really appreciate it all.
Winter Sale!!!!
We are thrilled to announce that SOOT will be on 50% discount during the sale.
Join us this holiday season and be part of our terraforming community!
Important Bugfix!
Not all levels present this error, but in the ones that do (like Tarqeq), the bug can be really annoying.
Thanks to everyone who reported it!
We keep working to ensure SOOT is in the best state possible!

NEW GAME MODE AND ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE

Manage resources and defend yourself from attacks by pirates and enemy forces.
2.- German language incorporated in the game.
Minor fixes and something is coming!!!
We are also very happy to announce that we are working on something new, a new game mode!!!
It's going to be something simple, a new mode to explore the mechanics of SOOT in a more freeform environment. It will not replace the intended gameplay of the levels, nor the story progression of the game, but we hope it will add more replay value to the game.
The new game mode doesn't have an official name yet, we have a few options like "Infinite Mode" or "Colonist Mode", it's a work in progress right now, so leave us your opinions, and also comment on what would you expect this mode to be!
