Planet Catalog & Swarm Performance Update

On Steam

Hunting down your last few planets? The new Planet Catalog helps you see exactly what your swarm has devoured and what is still waiting to be eaten.

Your collection, all in one place

  • Unlock the Planet Catalog by completing all nine campaign systems. Existing saves that have already completed the campaign unlock it immediately.
  • Browse all 64 planet variants, including the 50 original worlds and 14 cosmic worlds.
  • See planet previews, their rewards and risks, and the first system where each can appear.
  • Filter your collection to show all planets, devoured planets or the ones you are still missing.
  • Check your progress towards The Impossible Menu and The Universal Menu achievements.

Open the catalogue from the main menu or Solar Systems screen. Your existing devoured-planet progress carries over automatically. A planet is marked complete when your swarm fully devours it.

A little help finding rare meals

After completing the campaign, Rare and Exotic planets that have never been selected in your save receive a small discovery boost. Planet choices remain random, and the bonus ends once that planet is selected.

This adjustment applies to post-campaign exploration. The first campaign, Time Trial, planet rewards and achievement requirements are unchanged.

Large-swarm performance

  • Reduced terrain rendering overhead on dense planets, including avoiding work on fully buried terrain until it becomes exposed.
  • Reduced repeated food-search and planet-layer calculations for large colonies.
  • Reduced expensive failed escape checks when munchers recover around tight corners and structures.
  • Swarm counts, visual effects, planet density and upgrade balance are unchanged.

Thank you to everyone sharing feedback and hunting down every last meal!
