Its time for an optional beta! This beta has some fixes for long-standing issues and, more excitingly, comes with 4 (!) new extra levels for testing and balance. Extra levels are fast to develop as most of them don't need extensive new systems and artwork; we can make one of these in just a few short hours but testing them for balance is another thing. They need some feedback! We are looking for feedback on balance in the 4 new extra levels. You can leave them on our Discord, Steam forum, or official forums. If youd like to help out, wed be very happy for you to give them a spin now! Youll need to be a Windows 64 bit owner on Steam to join the beta. PLEASE NOTE! Once the testing phase is over and this update goes live on the main branch, the new extra levels will be removed from the list again, and will reappear monthly after that (exact dates to be announced as the time approaches). If you would like to join the beta, the code is givemeextraextra. If you dont know how to join a beta and would like to, follow the instructions below: [quote][olist]

- Occupation - a wood ant level not unlike the campaign level New Home
- Cramped - a heavily infested leafcutter level with a surface, kill all enemies!
- The Culling - a black ant level with interesting enemy spawning mechanics

- Fixed an issue where ubers were linked to the wrong freeplay setup check boxes

- Changes to how AI colonies in freeplay decide which resources to harvest from
