Hi, the Squatting Penguins team’s reporting in.
It’s been a month since “The Mims Beginnig” has come to Steam and we’ve received lots of great feedback. We’d like now to share with you what we’ve managed to accomplish since the initial release and what are our plans for the future.
Here are some of the new features that you’ll be able to play with the next update:
- Crystal mining as an alternative to livestock trading. From now on you’ll be able to mine the crystals located across the island. Be mindful that they are covered in a protective layer of stone and you’ll have to first break it with either PSI power or with your defenders. Once the layer is dealt with, your Mims will rush in to mine the crystals and then deliver them to the PSI tower. We’re hoping that this new feature will make the first stages of the game more fluid and entertaining.
- Harvesting bio weeds as an alternative to bio plant planting in the early stages of the game. Right now, if you find yourself lacking biomass in the early game, you have no choice but to plant a bio plant and patiently wait for it to bear fruit. With the new update bio weeds will grow on the islands from the very start of the game. Don’t fret though, these weeds might not be suitable for farming, but burning them down will reveal a single high calorie fruit, that your Mims will throw into the extractor. This has dramatically speed up the early game and also greatly expanded the degree of choice that the player has in the early stages of the game.
- Enhancements to generating Psi Energy. A special new button will be appearing in the PSI tower. With it, players will be able to manually assign how many Mims should be spending their time on psi-generating meditation. Thanks to that, casting spells will be possible in the very early stages of the game, even without electricity. This new feature might also come in handy in the times when you happen to have too many Mims and not enough work to go around.
- Mysteries and secrets. The islands will now hold a random number of secret objects and puzzles that you will uncover by clicking on them. Every secret you discover will benefit you in some way, for example activating a waterfall will increase the energy of all the Mims that bathe in it.
We are still working on this things, probably we will add them with next update:
- Saving game whenever you want during a mission. Many of you asked us to implement it. We searched for possibility, and probably found it. We will add this function, but we cannot provide you, that it will be present in next patch. But, this is our priority.
- Camera control – it will definitely be upgraded, it is possible, that function „Control camera with buttons” will be added. Also, whole camera control will be redesigned. Moving camera by approaching cursor to the border of the screen can be a bit frustrating for some players, and really not the best solution.
- We are working on new levels, but we want to make them perfect, before sharing with you.On new level you will see caves and lake with geyser. Tornado will appear, and some new foes.
- We are upgrading Mims and Defenders intelligence. Mims will better communicate during fruits caring, and the Defenders will be smarter during battle.
- We are also working on a possibility of linking Defenders on groups, to avoid clicking each Defender again and again.

As the leader of the colony you have psionic power at your disposal, altering the fauna and flora of your planet, as well as the environment which they inhabit.
The main focus of the game lies in expanding and defending the colony. Every building or plant placement counts, nevertheless the game falls more into a light-strategy genre.
The basic resource crucial to the colony's survival and development is energy. It is also essential to Mims’ vitality - used while performing work, as well as for maintaining proper functioning of the infrastructure. Vitality is obtained in generators using Bio Mass - derived, in turn, from special fruits processed in the Extractor. Part of the energy can also be obtained from wind flow thanks to correct placement of Wind Turbines.

In order to grow fruit for animals, Mims will also need to sow seeds from various plant species, such as exploding plant that hurls fruits around. Choosing good sites for sowing seeds has a strategic element to it.
A clever leader is able to use the topography of the map to their advantage, thereby avoiding excessive scattering of fruit all over the planet. In case of a bad placement, fruit crop can be lost due to fruit rolling off the edge of the planet.

Help Mims survive the numerous perils of the galaxy in their bid to reach their final destination!
