- Preview: New Character Skills System - 27 June 2026
Hey there Pinies,For our upcoming series of updates, we'd like to keep you posted with a few previews of what's to come. If you haven't been following along, we've now begun work on the next round of content, as outlined in our roadmap post.(Spoiler Warning: previews may contain details of the game not yet experienced by players.)Character Skills systemOne of the first features we're working on is an overhaul of the Character Skills system.Our original skills system was bit too linear and one-dimensional. Each action (Working, Scavenging, and so on) had its own skill level, and those skills could only be improved through perks on the Government, Religion, and Science tabs. While this was a solid foundation for improving character production, it didn't leave much room for strategizing individual character progression -- the little engines that keep the game economy running. As we started…
- Early Access Patch 9 - 21 June 2026
Hope everyone's having a good summer, Pinies,We have begun a new round of updates that we're calling "Phase 2" (see our roadmap).Phase 1 was focused primarily on polishing and completing the game. Much of that work came from community feedback, and resulted in a large number of QoL improvements, bug fixes, and other features that we felt were important additions to the game. With that foundation in place, we're now developing new content, as outlined in our roadmap post. Today's update is a small patch focused on notifications. Some players told us that the opening flood of notifications could feel overwhelming, and that some messages were difficult to read or disappeared before you had a chance to process them. We've made a handful of improvements to help with that.(Spoiler Warning: patch notes may contain details of the game not yet experienced by players.)QoL ImprovementsThe number o…
