Here is more than 50 improvements for the game!
Nothing game-breaking, but we did a complete review and sorting of all the remaining tasks for the game, and we were able to complete a lot of old ones that had been reported/suggested a very long time ago! And now we know exactly what we have to do up to the v1.0 release (still planned for Q3 of this year).
And we are currently working on a very interesting and long awaited feature... So don't hesitate to join the discord and the Beta branch, to follow the development and help us by giving feedback on the new features!
Plan B - v0.9.2 build 987
Improvements:
- Charts: show temperature for liquid water and oxygen for farms

Balance:

It mainly fixes a serious issue we had missed: clouds were no longer slowed down by mountains. This update restores the intended behavior: clouds now produce much more rain when passing over mountains (so they lose their water and disappear faster). Please note: some areas “behind” mountains, depending on the wind direction, may turn back into desert. As a resul…Plan B – v1.0.5: actual production stats, quality of lifeHere is a small unplanned 1.0.5 update.
