Hi, engineers!

It is already our promised DeadLine of an update, and our work is still in full swing! Today we have made some tips on issues that players may be concerned about for the coming update. Here we go!

QA for the coming update
Q: Do we need to start a new game after the update?
A: We are bringing lots of new content in this update, like new planets and modifications on recipe values. All the new changes can only be seen in a new savedata created after the update.

It will take a lot of time, but we will forecast the content of the upcoming patch earlier to facilitate you to plan and prepare in advance.

Hi Mechanics!
Creative mode Update 0.5.0 is finally here!

New creative mode worlds
Welcome to the new and updated creative mode! Not only did we make it look better to go hand in hand with the survival world but we also finally added water to the creative terrain. All trees can now be cut down and rocks can be drilled. Excellent for testing out ideas for your creations in Survival mode. We also gave the flat world an updated ground texture.
The new one should give a much better sense of movement and speed.

New capsules
Both bot and animal capsules have been added to creative mode.
Place them on the ground then shot or hit a capsule to release them into your world.
There is a lot of fun things you can do with these. Check the useful chat commands below.

Bot combat
Paint bots in different colors and see them attack each other.
This new feature ... Read more
