🌻 We're almost there!
Hey everyone,
time flies when you're having a good time, so we want to bring you the final sneak peak before the release of the biggest Solarpunk patch to date!
We're working on the final patch details this week and are sending the update to the platform holders early next week. This will start a validation process that allows XBOX, Playstation and Nintendo to make sure the update can go live on their platforms, which takes around 2 weeks. So the update should go live end of the month! 🔥
Be sure to also check the past updates to get a bigger picture and be assured, we packed even more into the patch when it goes live. 🙂
🌍 Cross-Platform Multiplayer
The biggest feature in the next update will be crossplay multiplayer. This was a bit more difficult than anticipated, but but with the next patch everyone - PC, Epic, PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo - can finally play together!
In the meantime, we want to give you some more context about the upcoming features.
☑️ A Quick Reminder - Feature Voting
We've seen you make great use of the feature upvote system, our webpage for submitting and upvoting feature ideas, and are happy to announce that we will add features you, as a community, voted on in the following patch after the current crossplay update. Your ideas and feedback are amazing, and we're thankful for such an active and helpful community. Which ones of the upvoted features exactly, and in what order, will be decided and announced by the team at a later date - but I can already tease that the current top three look great, and we definitely have our eyes on some other features from the list.

🌺 Glowing and Growing Plants
We've seen you try to create ivy and vines with crazy setups, now you can add it to your walls naturally, as well as plants with a glowing neon look. They won't illuminate the environment, but they'll still look striking in your base!
- New ivy and vines plants, decorate the walls to your liking
- New glowing plants, which you can easily get by ... Ah, that'll be announced at a later date 😉
⚡ Cable Connectors
We've seen you try to be as neat and tidy as possible, now you have more options!
