Hello Nomads,
After some technical difficulties we have finally managed to build and upload a new update for the game. You can enjoy little design change on wheels - they are now backlit, so you can easily see which ones are powered properly.
There is also a small but very handy improvement in building system - you can change the distance in which you build new blocks. Hold the shift key and use mouse wheel to move the block forward/backward to place it precisely without moving the camera. If you set the distance to maximum, you will get behavior similar to old building system - blocks connects to the place you point instead of trying to find side or back faces.
The last meaningful change is integrating the Bug Reporting Tool into the game. When you experience some strange bug, you can call it directly from pause menu or main menu and send us the details about the problem. A screenshot as well as game logs and save files are attached automatically.
Here is the complete list of changes:
- added emissive effects on Wheels when powered
- adjustable ghost block / ghost blueprint distance - hold shift and scroll mouse button to change the distance
- new Bug Reporting Tool (in main menu and in-game pause menu)
- fixed low FPS in intro cinematics
- blocks in terminal are ordered alphabetically
- auto-generated block names (with numbers) are saved now

Planet Nomads provides a unique experience by combining building, survival and exploration together and making them equally important.
Building
Building is the cornerstone of Planet Nomads. What you build determines your chances of survival and increases your action radius and potential to uncover more materials. Your options include over a hundred building blocks to choose from and use to create nearly anything your imagination can come up with. Paired with working physics for land-based vehicles and fliers.
Exploration
You may have explored your immediate surrounding, but a few hundred kilometers away or a thousand meters higher, things could be radically different. Unlocking advanced technology allows you to explore the more hazardous places where you wouldn't survive before. The planets are up to 120 kms in diameter, with biomes changing as you travel from pole to pole.
Survival
Living the nomadic life is always full of danger and adventure. But mostly danger. Surviving on an inhabited planet is no easy task, but with careful planning, caution and a healthy amount of curiosity, you can do it. As long as you overcome radiation and poisonous atmosphere, avoid being slashed to pieces, frozen to death, eaten alive, starved and generally ended, that is.
