The new planet is called Unnature Sanctuary, and is now reachable in the star navigator. Its an optional side-quest planet, but check it out!
In other news, we recently added Minigames to the research lab, and Chase (our composer) released the official Aground Soundtrack! We also added Steam Leaderboards so you can see global high scores for the minigames and also who has mined the most tiles!
For Mac Players: You may have heard about the new app requirements for Catalina. The good news is that Aground is already 64-bit, so the game will run. The bad news is that it is not notarized, and I will not notarize it given the complexity of the process for every update and requirement of an apple developer ID which has a yearly fee. From what I have heard, this means that you may have to go through an additional step to bypass gatekeeper. Hopefully this doesnt cause too much trouble, and Ill continue to update the game on Mac as usual.
In addition to the new planet, the following changes affect the full version:
- Some vehicles can now move and attack at the same time.
- Drone control can now be used while riding the mobile lab.
- Talon Copse can now modify most equipment.
- Cables and rails can now be placed on the same tile.
- Added a mini planet - Mercury. This is the last solar system planet that I plan to add before the full launch (gas giants have nowhere to land, and Venus is very dangerous).
- The starting quests now let you place the structures where you want to, and give you a blueprint for them when complete so you can re-arrange your base.
- Most vehicles and bots can now be packed up and deployed.
- Docks can now summon nearby boats.
- Trader will ship items from one island to another for a fee (pre bombardment/endings).
- Dragons can now land on water and never die by running out of fuel now.
- Mouse buttons can now be set in controls - this allows you to attack by clicking (but clicking on a GUI element will interact with it as normal).
- Surgery lab can now install vanity equipment.
- Crops can now be re-arranged in farms.
- Chests can be given labels.
- Hotkeys are now sensitive to parameters/modifiers.

Aground - Backer Items
As one of the last human survivors, you find yourself stranded on an uninhabited island. With a few other victims of the crash, can you craft, mine, and build your way to survival?
Aground was designed around the theme of Progression, and inspired by Utopian Mining, Starbound and A Dark Room. You start out with only the rudimentary ability to gather wood, and you can eventually build your way up to a thriving settlement, expand to other islands, develop advanced technology, and learn magic. Will you be able to confront the threat that caused you to crash? Fly dragons? Launch into space? The sky is literally not the limit.
With Aground, our goal is to keep you continually surprised, with exciting new options opening up around every corner, so you’re always wondering “what’s next?”. By the end of the game, even though there are a lot of systems and complexity, since everything has been built up bit-by-bit, it is all easily manageable.
Mine
The surface is just the beginning - there is a whole world to explore beneath. And you never know what you might find in the depths…
Build
Build a whole city for you and other survivors, with each structure adding new functionality and possibilities.
Craft
Use the materials you’ve gathered to create items, foods, and weapons to support you in your quests.
Quest
Accept quests of all sorts - raise (or slay) dragons, gain a trusty familiar, unlock fishing, manage your farm, learn to hunt, brew mysterious potions… the list goes on...
Survive
Balance your health, stamina, and carrying weight by using foods and items.
Advance
Upgrade and enhance your buildings - adventure to new islands (or new planets!) to learn higher technology and magic, and bring home your findings.
Discover
Progress through the story arcs and uncover the secrets of the planet, why you’ve been stranded here, and how to leave. But in the end, will you even want to escape?
