CURRENT ROADMAP · OFFICIAL BOUNDARY
What is planned—and what is not dated
Steam's Early Access statement describes a direction, not a fixed release calendar.
Current stage — Early Access began August 13, 2026.
Planned direction — refine procedural generation and add buildings, resources, production chains, quests, biomes, and technologies, influenced by community feedback.
Timing — the developer estimates about one year in Early Access, but says that may change. No fixed next-update or 1.0 date is announced here.
This summary changes only when an official source changes. Rumors and player wish lists are not presented as roadmap facts.
