We have had a few questions about why we don't have a Discord server where you can chat to us and each other about Biltur Simulator, so we decided to set one up!

So join now and you can discuss the simulator and even chat directly with the devs. Just keep in mind that the devs also need to keep working on new features, fixing issues, and such so we must ask for your patience on that front.

You can join by following this link. Feel free to give the link to anyone you think would want to test out Biltur Simulator too.

Welcome!
