- Patch Notes V1.3 - 25 August 2026
Patch Notes V1.3: The Resource Detector is now an item that you can take with you. Add a preset casual game mode.

Add a button to reset all settings to the default in the main menu. Rename the persistant metal cloud layer to "Metal Shards" to not be confused with Metal Rain/Snow storms. More resolution options added. Fix a rare sound system bug that crashed the game. Improved translations across several languages (fixed many typos). Smoothened terrain.

More resolution options. Reset all settings to default button. More quality of life improvements around inventory management. Improving naming of the persistent high altitude metal shard storm vs metal rain/snow storm systems. Likely making the resource detector an item instead of a base piece to improve navigation.

- Skyformer OST Now Available! - 4 August 2026
The Skyformer Soundtrack by Marty Meinerz is finally available on Steam! The tracklist follows the game's terraforming progression, with new songs introduces as you reach each phase.There are 10 tracks available both in 320kbps MP3 and FLAC formats.Only $2.99 and all proceeds go to Marty! Thanks for your support :)
- Patch Notes V1.1 - 2 August 2026
Fix issue where co-op saves could get desynced causing friends to not be able to connect to a host's server. If you ran into this issue, it would be a good idea to have the friend who is unable to connect delete their cached data for the world under AppData/Local/Skyformer (click Manage Saves in the load save menu to open the folder directly). Going forward this should not be an issue anymore! Fix bug where some co-op lobbies ended up being public. Improve the bounding volumes of a few base pieces for smoother player movement. Fix bug that caused the game not to load when the Miners Per Node world setting is greater than 2. If you run into any new bugs with co-op please DM me on Discord or the Steam Forums and I'll immediately address it! Thank you!
- Skyformer 1.0 is out now with up to 4 player co-op! - 30 July 2026
Hello Skyformers, today is the day! Skyformer 1.0 is out now with up to 4 player multiplayer co-op! The official soundtrack by Marty Meinerz is unfortunately still being reviewed by Steam but will be released as soon as the review completes. In order to make it a more accessible purchase for co-op with your friends, I've reduced the base price of the game to $14.99 USD along with a 35% launch discount! A few notes about co-op: Servers are player-hosted. Dedicated servers are not supported (unless there is demand for it). In-game voice chat isn't supported because lobbies are private and there's no need for proximity chat - it's recommended to use external software such as Discord. The game does have a text chat and map pinging system however. Don't forget to join the Discord community to share any feedback, issues, and your creations! If you run into any issue please contact me and I ca…
