Hello **terraformers**!

##### **Happy new year from Miju Games!**

**2025 has been a great year for Planet Crafter**! After the creation of the **free Moons update** we released the **Toxicity DLC**.

Your reception for Toxicity was great. We read all the feedbacks we could to see where we could improve. So, we are releasing a small patch to perfect it. (scroll down for more info)

For 2026, we'll continue working on Planet Crafter. Our main focus for the coming months will be to release a **Quality Of Life & Improvements update**, and then, **a new free Moon** sometime before the end of the year.

And a few other surprises we'll keep secret for now ;-)
