The game has been patched to more accurately reflect the scientific consensus on various values like land use and water use, to rebalance the difficulty, and to patch some bugs. Players should exercise particular care with land use in the new version, lest production shortages lead to their untimely ouster. Can you navigate more land-hungry solar panels, more electricity-draining EVs, and the limits of champagne socialism? Happy planning!

We also have a few new translations that are in beta status: Japanese, Thai, French, and German.

Also last time I updated the game on Steam there was some problem unique to the Steam version. Hopefully that's been resolved, but if not please send a message to half.earth.socialism@proton.me.

We're happy to announce that a Spanish translation of the game is now available.

Some minor fixes and a Brazilian Portuguese translation, thanks to our amazing volunteers!

A few UI fixes
- Some content fixes
- Fixed an issue that was corrupting saves and messing up production calculations
- Fix for issue where the "Continue" button at the start of a new planning phase wouldn't show up

Big fix for our error monitoring. A lot of UI bugs weren't being properly reported. Now that they are we should be able to address them in a more timely manner.
- Miscellaneous UI fixes.

Thank you to everyone who's played the game. It's been exciting to see people's reactions and to see what discussion it's started.

We have been taking note of bugs mentioned in reviews and are doing our best to fix them. We're an extremely small team with full-time jobs so we appreciate your patience as we get around to them.

If you would like to submit a bug report to us directly, please send an email to bugs@half.earth with as much detail as possible (what system you're using, what exactly you were doing when the bug occurred, etc) and any relevant screenshots. This is the best way to ensure that we'll get around to a bug as it's hard to reproduce bugs based on descriptions in reviews alone.

It's also been nice to see discussion about energy alternatives in the reviews and comments. For more about the game's stance/analysis on nuclear energy, please take a look at the book the game accompanies, Half-Earth Socialism.

Thanks again!
