Fixed softlock in mission 5 when dialogue appeared together with the colony level up popup. Thanks to kamilko for reporting

Hello, we've added French localization, big thanks to Sykhasamann for the translation! Also, I made a couple of small fixes to UI to display text correctly.

Whoops, for some unknown to me reason hardware cursor stopped being visible on Steam Deck. I fixed it, so now you see a beautiful handmade cursor that I found on the internet (thanks to kenney.nl).

Welcome a new major update to Farlanders. It features:

• Full gamepad support
  
• Bigger font size and some UI readjustments
  
• German localization (thanks to Martin Winkler)
  
• Few minor bugfixes

Farlanders now has an official Steam deck verified status. It wasn't easy to achieve, because there are lots of menus and small text in the game. But I'm very pleased with the result, so please enjoy.

Also, recently I announced my new game Super Loco World, it's about building and automating a railroad. Take a look!

Hello,

I uploaded a quick hotfix that solves the problem with huge colonies crushing the game.

Greetings,

I made some fixes and improvements.

Daily challenge & Sandbox:

• After completing the daily challenge and returning to the leaderboard, the result wasn't properly highlighted. Now fixed
  
• 65 instead of 70 turn limit for daily challenge
  
• Added a slider in the sandbox for free terraforms frequency adjustment
  
• Added randomize map button in the sandbox which generates map settings using the daily challenge algorithm
  
• More resources on smaller maps in the daily challenge
  
• Easy terrain complexity is now harder in the sandbox
  
• Bigger maps in the daily challenge will have harder terrain complexity on average
  
• Sandbox and daily challenge panels position for various aspect ratios

Fixes:

• Added a description to the noise filter module that factories no longer dehydrate adjacent fertile soil
  
• The terraforms shop was sometimes not displaying the correct listings which led to the wrong terraform delivery

Greetings 🙋‍♀️,

I'm happy to announce a major Farlanders update together with the discount as a part of Ukrainian Games Festival (go see it!). Limitless play update introduces 2 new game modes that were promised earlier.


Customize level generation and game rules the way you want and play with no limitations. You can make a tiny map with super deep caves (up to depth -20) to play vertically; a giant map with flat terrain, no obstacles, and unlimited construction to test colony layout ideas without the need to worry about resources or terraforming; or just make a regular map, but remove some of the game rules (e.g. colony morale) to have a more chill game experience. The only limit is your imagination, and customization tools that I made 😜.


Once a day a new random map is generated for everyone. You have one try and a turn limit to compete with other players for the best score (colony population). I tried to make a big variety of possible maps in the daily challenge, some you might find unfair and too difficult, while others are more chill. My personal favorite is playing on a small or tiny map with deep underground caves, that's something that wasn't exploited during the campaign.

Be aware, that the Daily challenge is not currently working on MacOS, due to 3rd party tools limitations.


There are 3 new statues designed by our Kickstarter backers. Each of them has a unique description, so don't forget to read it if you'll have one.

Have fun,
