We have been pushing a bunch of updates since the Game-Only release two weeks ago, with a big lump of em going live now. Get the scoop:

Highlights:

Saving now works in Co-Op and on every relevant planetoid incl. Contributor-made ones
Auto saving on game quit
Auto saving every 60 seconds - in case there are any crashes (should be fewer)
Saving partial blueprints and fixed other saving bugs
Pioneer adjusts his legs to uneven terrain when standing - see this card for details
Inactive players in Co Op get removed automatically from active gameplay by falling asleep
Fixed gamepad controls in Asteroid Belt map
Made pioneer selection clearer in Asteroid Belt map
Added WIP objective marker to zoomout map in Primoid tutorial
Lots of other little tweaks to tutorial based on new player feedback
Fixed player respawning into wrong capsule in Primoid tutorial
Added industrial fragments to texture library
Crashes should be greatly reduced - but please report any!

See the full changelog here We are still working on making a perfect save system that will take care of the discovery map (the dark areas), and also the entire state of the world; however, it's a big task with many prerequisites, but we're working toward it. Thank you so much for providing feedback in the ingame feedback forms, steam forums and even making videos. It helps us a lot for improving the Primoid experience. We are also working on tracking down the crashes some of you reported, and hope you'll notice a difference.

DISCLAIMER: Do NOT buy this special edition UNLESS you want to get your hands dirty in the ongoing development of Planetoid Pioneers, which is inspired by classics such as Blaster Master (‘88), Metroid (‘86), and Exile (‘88). At this point, we are looking for those with a genuine interest in creating and remixing content within the unique Crush2D engine and the modular game structure we have already established.

If you simply want to experience a polished physics-driven game (nothing wrong with that!), feel free to add Planetoid Pioneers to your wishlist and wait until it exits its Early Access period. By that point, it will contain a complete yet expanding action-exploration adventure, hand-built by not only us on the official development team, but also in collaboration with the Contributor Community.

However, if you do choose to purchase the Contributor Edition today, you will:

Become part of the emerging Contributor Community, where you can collaborate and directly share content with the development team and your fellow contributors.
Be able to submit your creations for consideration to be integrated into the official shipping game, with your name then appearing in the credits.
With a single button press, have the ability to publish whatever you make to the free Steam Workshop, for anyone to rate, comment, and subscribe to.
Be among the first to have your very best Blueprints and Scenes considered for the Curated Item Workshop on Steam - where you would earn money on them!

About the first ‘Primoid’ Planetoid that will initially ship with Planetoid Pioneers:

After your space yacht undergoes an irksome Rapid Unplanned Disassembly, you find yourself marooned on a large Planetoid outside the orbit of Mars. To overcome this interplanetary Robinson Crusoe scenario, you need to use your Atomizer and Assembler tools to gather local resources and turn them into various vehicles, contraptions, and even organic life forms.

Explore, survive, and ultimately build a resource-intensive spacecraft to escape the dangers and mysterious caves of this circular world. Onto the next uncharted Planetoid for a completely different adventure - built by us or anyone in the Contributor Community!
