So if you loaded a game with multiple planets, Peabs on each planet would be stuck in place until you visited their world. Also, I've extended the UI for trade missions so that it's possible to see how much car…	—
18 Jan 2020, 21:14 UTC	Major update	January Update - Story Mode Hello everyone! I've just wrapped up a major update to Poly Universe, including a bunch of advanced resources, new building types, and a story/campaign mode. So here's what's in the latest build, which I'm affectionately referring to by its nickname "Version 0.9.0.0": * New advanced resources like Diamonds and Silicon can only be found on certain worlds. And no, it's never the world you start o…	—
