- Community Requests Update - 20 May 2025
Hello everyone, we hope you’ve all been doing well. While starting work on the 3rd DLC of Terraformers, we decided to first do an update focused on community requests, and we are quite excited to show you what we have prepared! Marsyclopedia improvements The community has long requested to have a way to see when a project was unlocked. The Marsyclopedia will now display a small number next to the name to indicate at what Mars level it was unlocked. Thus, we also added the current Mars Level and points required to reach the next level in this screen. In addition to this, we have categorised content which is only accessible through events or leaders in their own category, so it is clear how you can access that content in-game. And finally, we have added all the content for which we were previously not sure how best to display. Now you will be able to see every project, including the locat…
