Testing Branch Update - Parasites & Cults

Dear Onbu Riders We just launched a brand new update on the testing branch! Its a bit of a spooky one featuring parasites and cults? Various different parasites now inhabit the world. They can infest Onbu and their effects can be both harm- and helpful, depending on your current situation. External parasites can be fought with the new Pest Control building, while internal parasites are counteracted by the Injector. Some external parasites even lay eggs, allowing you to collect them and start your own parasite farm. Or you can just cook and eat them.
75% of this crazy community voted Yes on the option to feed villagers to Onbu, which has now been added to the game. Not only does this fill up Onbus belly, but it also terrifies your villagers so much that they will stop revolting and start seeing Onbu as a divine being. They will then demand more sacrifices to Onbu, or become more and more unhappy with each level of the cult. We also added new buildings and a new Onbu command, and have made various other improvements, bug fixes and balancing adjustments. You can now vote for your favorite features to be added in future updates on our Discord. Before you jump into the new update, here's some info: We would greatly appreciate your help with translations over on our Discord. Please report bugs using the in-game feedback tool in the top right corner of the screen. You can make videos for Youtube/stream the testing branch content if you like. This preview is not yet fully compatible with controllers and lacks localisation. It might take a while to encounter a parasite event on the map. Please note that builds on the testing branch might screw up your game saves! So if you want to make sure, better make a backup first. Here's how. How to access the update:

Full Patch Notes:

New Features ---------------- - Various different parasites that can infest Onbu. Farm parasites for their effects or use their eggs as food sources. - Feed your villagers to Onbu.

You can also join the game's community on Discord:

In a world where mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth, emitting toxic spores as they grow, a small group of survivors seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature they call 'Onbu'.
Become their leader, build their settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with the creature to survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world that now surrounds you.

Build your village

A functioning village is the basis of your survival. Build your settlement and expand it over the creature's back. Plan production chains and optimize them to utilize the limited space as efficiently as possible. Create a society that can overcome any challenge.

Live on the creatures back

Living on the back of another organism comes with its own set of challenges. Will you live in symbiosis, bond with the creature and survive on mutual trust? Or will you become a parasite, only aiming to ensure a better life for your villagers? The choice is yours.

Discover different biomes

Travel through a multitude of different biomes and adapt your village to their unique opportunities and threats. Scout your environments and send out foraging missions to gather rare resources and ancient artifacts.

Research new technologies

Remnants of the old world hold knowledge that has long been forgotten, but can be unearthed by your villagers. Find and research these technologies, but use them wisely, as progress can be a double-edged sword.

Survive the wastelands

Ensure the survival of both your villagers and your Onbu, even though poisonous spores, merciless weather, bloodsucking parasites and many more challenges mean that the odds are often stacked against you.
