Version 0.8.0

Intro
‘Sup, Prospectors?

It’s been a while, we know, but all of your waiting is totally going to be worth it when you check out this latest update.

After our announcement of reaching 1.0 and releasing on console this Summer, you may have noticed us throwing out frequent unstable updates. There’s only one explanation for it: 0.8 is here!

0.8 is perhaps the biggest update we’ve put out yet, so you’ll have plenty to play around with.

One of the main features is that we’ve promoted multiplayer from Pre-Alpha to Beta, and it is now available for everyone to enjoy on the main branch. In terms of the main game, there’s a bunch of new blocks, a bucketful of optimisation, a cup of bug fixes and plenty more.

LOL (lots of love), Zeena

IMPORTANT NOTE
One thing that’s very important to note is that the location for save files and Tech snapshots has changed: The game should automagically move your existing game saves and Tech snapshots to the new location, but if it doesn't and you run into any problems, drop us an email to help@terratechgame.com and we'll get things working for you again.
