Preserve news & patch notes

Preservers,

One of the most requested features has arrived - Steam Community Items are now live in Preserve on PC!

As you shape and nurture your living worlds, you can now earn Trading Cards, Badges, Profile Backgrounds, and Emotes inspired by the beauty and balance of nature.

Build your collection with carefully crafted designs drawn from lush biomes, delicate ecosystems, and the harmony you create with every tile placed.

Every card reflects a piece of your journey - a world grown, a balance achieved, a moment preserved.

Create. Collect. Preserve.

Watch the devs dive into Preserve Ice Age, and step into this frosty expansion that brings new terrain mechanics, habitats, glacial features, and strategic challenges.

Greetings, Preservers!

Get ready to reshape your world like never before - because the Ice Age DLC is officially LIVE!

This frosty expansion brings new terrain mechanics, habitats, glacial features, and strategic challenges that will test your creativity in a whole new climate. Step boldly into a frozen age of transformation!

What awaits you in the Ice Age DLC

1. Terrain adjustment - Bend the seasons to your will

For the first time ever, terrain can evolve twice!

• Cover tiles in snow for +1 point

• Melt snow into lush fields for another +1 point

  Use the new terrain adjustment cards - Small snow, Large snow, and Melt - to sculpt the perfect balance between frost and bloom.

2. Habitats - Adaptation is everything

Habitats now depend on tile color, just like in the Savanna expansion. The frozen frontier demands smart placement - only the most adaptable ecosystems will thrive.

3. Animals - Life always finds a way

Animals follow the familiar mechanics from the Continental and Savanna expansions, making this biome easy to jump into while offering new ways to strategize in an Ice Age world.

4. Freshwater - Harness the power of ice and flow

The freshwater system gets a massive Ice Age overhaul:

• Glacier - An improvement that snows all tiles within 2 tiles radius.

• Glacial Trail - A frozen river that must begin at a Glacier and end on a green tile, where it forms a lake.

Harder to plan than regular rivers, but with incredible reward: +3 adjacency bonus for clever connections and trail design!

5. Wonders - The legendary great lakes

Five majestic new lake Wonders arrive with unique sizes and shapes! Place them on empty terrain, touching at least one lake formed at the end of a Glacial Trail, and enjoy powerful boosts to your global Glacial Trail adjacency bonuses.
