HISTORICAL
8–9 Sep 2026
Full game is out (*OUT NOW!*). Steam
coming_soon=false. Hotfix #1 on 9 Sep addressed crafting from a missing storage crate; its inventory-decay claim was later corrected by Hotfix #3 below. The studio denied using AI for the opening cutscene.
OUT NOW
10 Sep 2026
Hotfix #2 documents a Steam compatibility branch for persistent crashes and older configurations. Instructions: PC compatibility guide.
PATCH
11 Sep 2026
Hotfix #3 corrects Hotfix #1's inventory-decay claim: the earlier change had not applied to the player's inventory. Carried plants now decay over roughly 48 in-game hours. See plant decay and in-game guides. Patch entries reviewed 12 September.
PATCH
After launch
The 8 September date held. Official modes in the *OUT NOW!* post: Scientist (recommended), Survivalist, Space Hell (permanent death), Engineer (custom sliders — not the default). Hotfix #1 does not claim to fix every launch crash. Future patches will be new rows above, not silent edits.
