Hello Nomads,

Hope you have all the gifts for your closest ones ready already. We're here with the last update of 2017. The solar panels ain't gonna make it this year, but you can count with them in January, as a belated Christmas present.

Speaking of presents, if you start a new Survival game, boxes with rare materials and high-end equipment (jetpack and multitool) will await you on the planet. If you make a video of finding them, you can enter a contest for a physical box. The survival box of PN-branded goodies and a firestarter.

Here's more info on how to join:

All the best in the New Year, and we'll see you soon.
