Mission Journal: Patch #2.9.0
Date of entry: 2149/02/11
Agricultural pod 3 reported a sudden drop in internal humidity levels at 06:23 MST. Initial diagnostics suggested a fault in the misting array, later traced to a cracked valve in the secondary water line—likely stress damage from last week’s temperature fluctuations. Engineering isolated the line, replaced the faulty component, and recalibrated the delivery schedule. Humidity has since stabilized and crop health remains unaffected.

Hello Terraformers,

With the next update coming on Thursday, April 24, we predict that almost all save files will become incompatible with the new update. This is due to an issue with a Unity Engine update that is required with the upcoming patch.

We highly recommend that you complete all current in-progress games before the patch is deployed on Thursday. We apologize for any inconvenience caused, but appreciate your understanding.

Brace for impact. The Big Box is in orbit, ready to land! Packed with new cards, mechanics, and corporations, it's bound to open up new terraforming strategies and reshape the competition.


Here’s a breakdown:


18 New Project Cards: Add exciting new strategies and combos to your games, many of which center on asteroids.

3 Revamped Classics: Familiar cards like Deimos Down, Great Dam, and Magnetic Field Generators get updated versions.




Astrodrill: Specializes in asteroid resources, a unique addition to the game that opens up fresh tactical opportunities.

Pharmacy Union: This corporation introduces a unique "disease" mechanic, that adds layers of challenge and strategy for expert players! Starting with 54 M€ and 1 Science card, it generates "Disease" markers by playing Microbe cards (at a cost of 4 M€ per tag). Each Science card removes a Disease marker, granting 1 TR, and clearing all markers provides a bonus of 3 TR before deactivating the ability. The corporation rewards careful resource management and synergy between Microbe and Science strategies.
