Some things couldn't be added to the game, like a vehicule, as we felt the map was not well suited and couldn't find the right balance for it yet. Being a really small team of 6 people for a projet of this scope, we know the game is not 100% perfect yet, but we do our best to make clear decisions. We will continue to improve the game in the future as we still have a lot of ideas for new and exciting content! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39373700/2a472693ee03fe35c267494e9a3dfad1340d0c87.png We are really excited to finally share this with you and we sincerelly hope you'll enjoy your journey! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1284190/The_Planet_Crafter/ Press Kit. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39373700/0296f635374ef9415760c1183da1ff26a91bc72c.png 1.0 Full changelog : New multiplayer mode : Play with your friends, from one to more than 10 players! There is no real max number of players. It will depends on the host computer and internet speed. There is no dedicated server. Just launch the game and invite your friends to have fun! It's recommended to start a new save for a better multiplayer experience, but you can invite your friends in your existing saves New creatures mechanics : You can now create creatures by combining DNA from different living things First : using the DNA extractor, extract some DNA from a variety of living things, like larvaes, eggs or seeds Then : using the DNA synthesizer, create a dna sequence with the chosen genetic traits Finally : create an animal shelter to spawn your creatures You can create an infinite number of creature variations depending on your liking You can pet your creatures! New objects for mammals : Genetic extractor Genetic synthesizer Animal shelter Animal feeder More than 50 Genetic traits DNA Sequence Animals rocket New objects : Jetpack T4 Backpack T6 Deconstruct chip t3 - ..."Fish & Drones" Update is LIVE!Mar 2, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Terraformers! 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!

The limit is still at 200kTi for the prologue and the demo.The future of Planet CrafterApr 6, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello terraformers! Today, we want to share with you what we have in mind for the future of the game. What the game will and won't be. We are dedicated to bringing our vision to life, and even tough the Early Access launch was a great success for us, we are determined to complete the game and give players an 1.0 within a reasonnable time period. Do something simple, do it well One of our main objective is to respect people who trusted us by purchasing the game in Early Access. We want to prove Early Access can work, rewarding people who supported our studio. We don’t want to overpromise without delivering, we know what we are capable of and what we are not. So we won't make big promises we won't keep. We want to do something simple, but do it very well. The team will remain fairly small, and the scope of the game won't become too crazy, the price will reflect this by staying relatively low. If you followed the development untill the release of EA, you know this allowed us to create great content fairly quickly while listening to the community feedback. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39373700/6b248133c71924f69d9b593dd61a334becc2f76f.png Our vision for the game We are thrilled that the game receive a incredible rating of 95% Overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, meaning that you, the players, are really understanding what we are doing with the game. Let just say that if you like the game already, you'll like it even more at 1.0. That's the reason we share a demo with more than 3 hours of content, so players can know if the game is for them, or not. We want the final game to be: a 30h to 60h relaxing experience about terraforming a planet, where players see it evolves while exploring a big map, discovering secrets and the story of the planet, taking inspiration in real science, but without being hyper realistic with replayability options for people who want to enjoy it multiple times Updates We will regularly add updates during the early access period, we don't have an exact planning to share yet, but here is what is garanteed to be in the 1.0 version : A way bigger map, at least 50% bigger One vehicle A complete story arc and some procedural story elements Terraforming stages: Breathable atmosphere / Insects / Fishes / Amphibians More environmental threats Replayability options QoL elements and optimization For each update, we will add new technologies, special events, increase the map size, add secrets. Of course, we have other surprises in our sleeve and won't spoil everything here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39373700/1dd24ac074ab3489adcac2d5a0a5c0ee8e594003.png What won't be in the game As we are a small indie studio, we won't make the next AAA game, so some things, as previously said, will never be in the game: Big monsters and aliens, guns, fighting and violence Interplanetary roaming, spaceship piloting Really complex systems, and completly accurate science Realistic and next-gen graphics Multiplayer and procedural maps Even tough we know a lot of people wan...Thank you for an amazing launch week!Mar 31, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello terraformers!
