Satus Colony Survival Playtest 0.1.14 — Learn, Build, Challenge Yourself

New tutorials, challenges, seasons, Settler sleep behavior, and broad world-stability improvements.

Playtest 0.1.14 introduces guided tutorials, the Village Inn Challenge, and new challenge-submission tools to help players learn Creative building and share their work. Four 10-day seasons and a new season dial bring more life to the world, while Settlers now sleep, wake, and animate more naturally. The update also delivers broad improvements to world loading, navigation, lighting, assets, UI, and overall stability.
