The Planet Crafter news & patch notes

Hello Terraformers!

We've just updated a new version (v2.101) on the development branch. To try it, see the "How to switch branches?" question in the FAQ.

This version improves Skeo.

Let us know what you think about it, and if you find bugs or performances changes.

We do not have a release date yet, this update should be fully available around September.

If you are a content creator with a large audience, we recommend testing this update only once it has been fully rolled out.

As usual, restart Steam to get the update, and backup your save before trying the dev branch. All players must have the same version to play co-op. If you have issues launching the game, remove all your mods before reporting bugs.

Temporary Changelog :

• Rendering backend updated to Direct X 12

• Added a new animal for Skeo. (find bones in somes places in the world and put them into the genetic extractor to create it)

• Added a new spacesuit (find it in the world of Skeo)

• Added osmium, bacteria & cocoa to harvestable veins on Skeo (check the map)

• Fixed rocket oxygen T2 producing pressure instead of oxygen

• Magnetar quartz recipe changed, removed genetic trait

• T2 animals rocket now require 2 amber and 4 genetic traits

• Reworked values of insect / fish / amphibians farms :

• Changed generation values & inventory size of Amphibians farm, aquariums & fish farms, butterfly farms & dome, animal shelter, tree spreader.

  • We decided to increase the generation values of butterfly/fishes/amphibians farms because most of the time, it was easier/quicker to just build tree spreader, and there was not enough incentives to create living beings (except for mammals).

  • This will speed up a little bit the end game. But coupled with the fact that the pace of the game was slowing down too much by the end of a planet, and that there's now 3 moons to explore, make sense to us in term of pacing.

  • Let us know what you think about it.

  • Add "Slots Number" infos in the details popup, so it will be easier to know how many input you can put on generating machines (like animals farms). Activate it for machines generating animals, and containers.

  • Changed the inventory size of farms and aquariums to better correlate the level of the machine and the number of slots they have

  • Completely removed phytoplankton B & C from the game, replace with A (recipes & logistics)

• Quasar quartz recipe changed, only require one algae now (3 previously)

• Animal Food T2 recipe changed, requires bee larvae instead of rare larvae

• Blazar quartz unlocks sooner

• Megadome unlocks later

• Drone T3 & Rocket Insects T2 unlocks sooner

• Increased chance of variant genetic traits to be looted

• Autocrafter not displaying Toxicity objects anymore in creative if Toxicity is not unlocked, and not displaying quartz craft station before unlocking the station

• Genetic extractor & synthetizer unlocks a bit later.

• New butterfly can be crafted in incubator

• Magnetar can now be crafted in quartz crafting station

• Skeo planet viewer fixed with the correct planet

• Fixed environment flickers when moving between pods

• Fixed delivery depot UI cropping new objects

• Can't deconstruct underground pod anymore if linked to other base modules

• Living compartment with dome can now be built underground. Improved underground building.

• Environment fixes and other minor improvements

Consoles

Hello Terraformers!

Today we are thrilled to share that Planet Crafter sold more than 2.000.000 copies! It's a tremendous achievement for our small team of 7 and we are really grateful for all the support you all showed us since we first released the game four years ago!

New Free Moon

Now that the free 2.0 update came out, we are working on the next piece of content for the game. This free update will contain a new moon to terraform, with its own new lore, machines, resources and species to discover. We can't say just yet when it'll be available, so stay tuned.

But there is more!

New "Skeo" moon teaser

Planet Crafter is coming to PS5 and XBOX with Game Pass!

Releasing on July 21st, Planet Crafter will be available on XBOX Series X|S with XBOX Game Pass and PS5!

If you always wanted to play with your console friends* or terraform planets from your couch, now is the time!

*For now, the game will be multiplayer but not crossplatforms, meaning you'll only be able to play on consoles from the same brand, Steam players won't be able to play with consoles players.

Hello terraformers!

Today, I wanted to share with you our plan for the coming months for Planet Crafter.

The "2.0 Update"

First of all, we are happy to announce that our next free update is coming soon!

The "2.0 Update" will bring:

• New content (new biome on Prime, new decorations to build, improved biomes, new portals locations, etc...)

• New features (third person mode, QOL & frequently asked features, bug fixes, etc...)

• Graphical improvements (skyboxes, weather events, terrain, shaders, etc...)

• Performances improvements (RAM reduction, improved drones, etc...)

• and more!

It will be available in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Feel free to switch the dev branch if you want to try it! (Remember to backup your saves)

And more after that

Once the update is released, we'll work on another free moon update, and then a new DLC. Plus something else, a small surprise, in between, but it's not time to talk about it yet ;)

Either way, you can be sure that there's a lot coming for Planet Crafter in 2026!

Features & ideas suggestions board

Hello terraformers!

Happy new year from Miju Games!

2025 has been a great year for Planet Crafter! After the creation of the free Moons update we released the Toxicity DLC.

Your reception for Toxicity was great. We read all the feedbacks we could to see where we could improve. So, we are releasing a small patch to perfect it. (scroll down for more info)

For 2026, we'll continue working on Planet Crafter. Our main focus for the coming months will be to release a Quality Of Life & Improvements update, and then, a new free Moon sometime before the end of the year.

And a few other surprises we'll keep secret for now ;-)

Hello terraformers!

2025 was another great year for Planet Crafter!

Once again, our small team has been hard at work this year, to improve Planet Crafter as much as we could.

Just after the release of Humble, we released a free "Decoration Update", followed by our biggest free update "The Moons Update", which added 2 new moons and an ambitious interplanetary travel feature that allows you to terraform an entire solar system!

Last week, we released the Toxicity DLC, which includes a whole new planet with new mechanics and new lore! We're going to polish Toxicity for a few weeks and, then, start working again on the next free update.

We can't thank our community enough for all the support since we launched Planet Crafter, 3 years ago! It's been an incredible adventure for us, and even if we stay a tiny studio, we still have big plans for the future of the game!

We updated a small patch #3 on the main branch :

V 1.611 : Changelog

• New poster added in 4 crates on Toxicity (crates content has been reseted)

• Reduce toxic water quantities on some lakes

• Fixed an issue potentially blocking drones when there's a lot of them

• Fixed an issue when switching planet from Toxicity causing gauges consumption to stop

• Fixed an issue causing larvaes to not spawn on cleaned toxic areas

• Environment fixes and optimizations
