đŽ Gamepad and small screen support, new events and more!
Dear Terraformers,
As we already annouced in our latest devlog, our first free update is here and features gamepad and small screen support, 4 new events, balancing, quality of life improvements and bug fixes.
â ď¸ We've been working hard on gamepad and small screen support, but are aware there's more work to be done in order to polish them. Therefore, we need your feedback to improve them as much as possible. To do so, please join our Discord server.
We hope you will enjoy this update! đ
READ FULL PATCH NOTES:
[expand type="showmore"]In this patch weâve added quite some bugfixes, quality of life improvements and some balancing updates. The most notable balance change is that bacteria spreaders and plant spreaders have become a little bit more expensive. Weâve done this based on your feedback and our own tests, where we noticed that rushing for bacteria plant spreaders was a considerably stronger strategy than alternatives. With this change, all other strategies (going for industry/resources/space/technologies..) becomes more viable, which should lead to more interesting decisions and more varied games where different strategies can be pursued viably.
Weâve also lowered the amount of expansions received from the âUrban Planningâ technology from 2 to 1 (and reduced its science cost from 25 to 15), but lowered the cost of 2 other technologies. Hereby we think that technologies will be better balanced and that there will be less of an âobvious choiceâ in this regard, allowing for more diverse strategies.
As these changes make the game a little more difficult, especially for those making use of these strategies, weâve lowered the overall expectation rise frequency by a tiny bit to accommodate and not make the game harder overall. Please let us know what you think!
New stuff:
Gamepad support Beta
Small screen support Beta
Added a âcard counterâ to clearly display the current maximum number of cards which can be kept.
Added âprevious/next cityâ buttons so you donât have to leave the city view to switch between cities.

Added 1 new hidden achievement (linked to a new event).

Improved how the cards are spread out in the hand and made the hovered card fall over the others for better visibility.
Improved the lifeform selection detection area.

April / May devlog
Hello everyone! The release frenzy dust is settling down and we are very happy to see all the crazy strategies you are fomenting. The development of Terraformers continues and so do our devlogs! Today weâll go over whatâs up for the future of Terraformers.
DLCs
First of all, we are excited to announce that we will develop DLCs for Terraformers. After lots of brainstorming we have settled down on 3 DLCs and we are starting development on those. Though the design has progressed well, it is still quite early and subject to change. But donât worry, once things settle down more clearly and we have things to show we will do a devlog to give details about each of them.
The schedule for the DLC is still approximate and will depend on the progress we make as we develop them. We hope to release the first one this year and the second one next year. We will release a free update in-between each DLC as well.
One of the new events which may happen in your game. What could it be about?
Free updates
Yes, free updates! In between DLC we intend to release updates which will provide a mix of new content, quality of life improvements, general polishing and other features. The first such update will come in June and is what we have been working on since release.
More events were requested by the community and we have heard you! The new update will feature 4 new events and we hope youâll find them exciting to discover. We donât want to spoil the excitement so I wonât divulge too much here. Some will provide challenges or new projects when they appear and one in particular could make you ponder a switch of strategy in your game.
One major feature of the update will be the experimental gamepad and small screen support. As you may know we are working on a Switch port and full Steamdeck support. This will be the first iteration of the work we have been doing for it in the past months. We aim to have full controller support as well as a new UI layout better adapted for small screens. This will all be available on any version of the game, so if you have a small PC screen or would like to have bigger fonts, youâll be able to test it easily.
Finally the update will feature many quality of life improvements as well as exploit- and bug fixes. For example we have added the ânext cityâ buttons to cycle through them more easily as it was highly requested. We have also added warnings in case an action would cause the player to lose the game. We will provide a full list of the bug fixes and changes with the release of the patch.
Terraformersâ music
Canât get enough of the Terraformers music? Maybe youâd like to listen to it while working or studying? Our composers Anton and Daniel have uploaded the Terraformers OST to Spotify, so you can listen to it now even while youâre not in the game!
Thanks for following us and good luck on the Red Planet! Asteroid Lab team
