Hello Terraformers!

We've just updated a new version (v2.004) on the **development branch**.
To try it, [see the "How to switch branches?" question in the FAQ](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1284190/discussions/0/5805689546864510028/).

**This version is a release candidate, meaning it will be the version that will go live if no game breaking bugs are found.**

Let us know what you think about it, if you find bugs or performances changes.

As usual, restart Steam to get the update, and backup your save before trying the dev branch.  All players must have the same version to play co-op. If you have issues launching the game, remove all your mods before reporting bugs.
