We messed up. 🚨 The 5k Playtest is slightly delayed.

Hey Miners,

Let’s not sugarcoat it - we made a stupid mistake, and we want to be 100% honest with you about it.

But before that, due to so much hype and interest in the playtest we decided to just open it for the full 5000 random players! 💛

Our 5,000-player Playtest was supposed to launch today. The build is fully prepared, tested on our end, and ready to go. However, we forgot one crucial administrative step: we didn't submit the Steam Playtest page for Valve's mandatory review in time. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Because of this oversight, the system physically won't allow us to press the "Launch" button today. Steam's certification process takes up to 5 days, which means we have to delay the start of the playtest until Valve gives us the green light.

We know many of you were incredibly hyped, cleared your schedules, and were looking forward to firing up the washplants this weekend. We are so incredibly sorry to let you down and ruin those plans. There are no excuses - this one is entirely on us.

We will keep you updated and hit that launch button the absolute second Steam approves the playtest. (should be next week)

Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and for hopefully not throwing a shovel at us. We promise the build will be worth the extra few days of wait!
