• Plan B – v1.0.6: clouds fix - 4 March 2026

  HiHere is a small 1.0.6 update. It mainly fixes a serious issue we had missed: clouds were no longer slowed down by mountains. This update restores the intended behavior: clouds now produce much more rain when passing over mountains (so they lose their water and disappear faster).Please note: some areas “behind” mountains, depending on the wind direction, may turn back into desert. As a result, some vegetation and farm fields might die. If you’d rather avoid this, we’ve created a Steam branch so you can keep playing with 1.0.5: go to the game’s Steam properties, open the Betas tab, and select the "v1.0.5_before_clouds_fix" branch.Now for other news: we can confirm we are working on something nice for Plan B: Terraform, but it’s still too early to share more details, sorry!Also, Plan B: Terraform has been nominated for the Pégases (French video game awards) in the "Best Technological Inn…

• Plan B – v1.0.5: actual production stats, quality of life - 22 December 2025

• Plan B - v1.0.4: Production Screen, Elevation Lines - 3 December 2025

  Here comes version 1.0.4! Quite a lot of features in this update, mainly the long-requested global production screen, and a much better visualization of the map’s elevation, which should greatly help with water management.There’s also a revamped city expansion algorithm, automatic recomputing of train lines, a button to upgrade all selected depots at once, and another to instantly create the maximum number of trains a line can handle before becoming saturated. It should be the last update for some time, as we’ve now cleared all the tasks we had planned (and many more we have added thanks to your feedbacks).However, we still have big ideas for the game, that would change the game a lot. No announcement yet, but the design is nearly done, and now we are going to run some tests on the biggest changes. Join the Discord to stay updated on development progress or to discuss the game. No spam,…

• Plan B - v1.0.3: unity vulnerability fix, multi-selection item/recipe change - 9 October 2025

  This time it's a small update, released earlier than planned, to quickly include the important Unity fix for the "CVE-2025-59489 security vulnerability".But there’s also a nice little improvement: when you select multiple depots or factories of the same type, you can now change their item or recipe all at once!We’ve also been discussing ideas for a possible big future update or DLC. Nothing decided yet, but some very exciting concepts are on the table! If you'd like to participate in these early discussions, join our Discord and opt in for the Advisor role. We regularly ask for their input on upcoming ideas. But don't hesitate to join anyway: other Discord members are usually pinged only once every few years, for a new EA launch or release. And there is also a mailing list, also only used for those rare occasions. Plan B - v1.0.3 build 1221Major improvements:- Added the Item/Recipe set…

• Plan B - v1.0.2: selection production stats... - 29 September 2025

  Here is a second update with a lot of urgent fixes and small improvements, but also some real gameplay additions ; especially the production stats of the current selection. Simply select a group of buildings and you'll see the total of what they can produce and consume (if there are enough depots to deliver/receive containers!).We have also fixed and optimized several issues that improve performance, especially when zoomed out.Plan B - v1.01 build 1211Major improvements:Display total max production/consumption of the current selection. 3 groups: factories/extractors/farms, cities (supply, waste, research center), vehicle lines.Improvements:Highlight items and recipes in range in the depots and factories selection panelsImproved performances in zoomed out views (especially in zoom 5, a lot)Improved performances when zooming (sound optimisation)Improved performances when multi-selecting,…

• Plan B - v1.0.1 - 15 September 2025

  Thank you all for the amazing reception and support for the 1.0 release!Initially, we planned to release just a small 1.0.1 patch with a few fixes and improvements.

• Chill simulation strategy game Plan B: Terraform has hit 1.0 - 30 August 2025

  Sometimes you don't want to go too hard, you just want a nice little game where you transform a million hexagons of barren oblate spheroid into a lush new home for humankind with an atmosphere, plants, and animals. Is that too much to ask? It's not, it turns out, because after a couple years in early access Plan B: Terraform has hit 1.0 ... Read more.

• 1.0 is live! - 29 August 2025

  After 2.5 years in Early Access, 6 years of total dev time, Plan B: Terraform has finally reached version 1.0! First of all, a huge thank you to our Early Access supporters. Your help during this period was invaluable. The game could not have become what it is today without your feedback, suggestions, and discussions. And a huge thanks to Crowdin contributors for helping with localization! Most of the major changes were introduced in previous updates (so they could be tested and balanced with the help of our Early Access players – thank you so much!). But for this special milestone, we’ve kept a few surprises for today’s release:Controllable Animals: once oxygen is high enough, animals are released into the wild. You can now take direct control of them – including soaring as an eagle to admire your planet from a whole new perspective (with a free camera around the animal).Creative Mode:…

• Plan B - v0.9.6: Sound Design, Localisation! - 22 August 2025

  It wasn’t planned, but here it is: one last update before the 1.0 release next Friday (August 29th)! Léo helped us redesign all the game’s sounds (or rather, create them, since there were barely any before!). Almost all sentences are now fully translated into every supported language (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Czech, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian). If you spot any mistakes, feel free to suggest corrections directly on Crowdin. And if you run into any bugs, please let us know on Discord or the Steam forum, it would help us a lot!Plan B - v0.9.6 build 1142 Major improvements:Sound design fully redoneImprovements:Localization: almost entirely finished (but for a few recently modified sentences we'll translate asap)Terrain tool: more precise altitude change with Shift key. Border can be…

• Plan B - v0.9.5: new Terrain Tool! - 30 July 2025

  0.9.5, the last update before 1.0, is live! The biggest change is the brand-new Terrain Tool, which replaces the four old tools with a single, much more powerful and versatile version.This update also includes a lot of behind-the-scenes code changes to prepare for the 1.0 bonus features (like Creative Mode and animals), though those aren’t active yet.We’ll continue pushing updates until the 1.0 release on August 29th, but likely without additional news posts. These updates will mostly include more of the upcoming features (still deactivated), small fixes, localization improvements, etc.Feel free to join the Discord to check detailed changelogs, or to report any issue you encounter! Plan B - v0.9.5 build 1096 Major improvements:New unique Terrain Tool. Multiple parameters: draw mode (free, line, multi-line), terrain effect (flatten, ramp, smooth), altitude offset, brush radius, border ra…

• 1.0 to be released on August 29th! - 14 July 2025

  Plan B: Terraform is participating in the Steam Automation Fest! And for the occasion, we are excited to announce that the game will be released in version 1.0 on August 29th! The game is now almost complete! Those two last years of updates have completely transformed it: quality-of-life improvements like copy-paste, better planet simulation with vast oceans and clouds, new levels, a story, and plenty of new content like container ships, research centers, and a space elevator. And we still have a few surprises for v1.0: a creative mode (want to create a water world? Easy!), new music tracks, and the addition of various animals to bring life to your terraformed planet. And why not take control of an eagle to fly over your world and admire it from a new perspective? For the occasion, the demo is back online! And here is the updated trailer:

• Plan B - v0.9.4: grass everywhere, improved transports! - 24 June 2025

  Update 0.9.4 is here! This update brings two major improvements that will enhance both gameplay and visuals.Transport systems have been overhauled — drones and vehicles are now much more efficient. Drones waste less time and prioritize unloading vehicles. Trucks have been significantly improved to remain useful longer.Going green! Grass now spreads naturally from trees, covering large areas — including under roads, rails, and factories — giving your cities a more organic look. It will keep spreading as long as the soil retains enough humidity and the temperature is favorable. In drier or colder regions, it takes on a more yellowish hue. Trees have also been rebalanced, and cities will no longer require oxygen once there’s enough of it in the atmosphere!This update also includes a variety of other tweaks and improvements — check out the full list below!Plan B - v0.9.4 build 1039 Major im…

• New Trailer, Games Made In France, Demo! - 15 May 2025

  Check out our new trailer showcasing all the progress we've made since the Early Access launch! This trailer was created for the Games Made in France event.

• Plan B - v0.9.3: copy-paste! - 6 May 2025

  The most suggested feature is here: select multiple unit with a selection box and copy-paste them anywhere with a Ctrl+C! You can also undo and redo your previous action with (Shift+)Ctrl+Z. Also, you now have ice on mountains tops and on forest grounds near poles. Remark: For the selection, there might be some position offset when you copy or paste over pentagon/heptagons, but those are highlighted so you'll see if this is the case. Plan B - v0.9.3 build 1014 Major improvements: Multiple selection, copy (Ctrl+C), cut (Ctrl+X), paste (Ctrl+V). Use selection box, double click, and modifier shift/ctrl to add/remove from selection. Use E/R to mirror or rotate selection. Export or import selection to windows clipboard (Shift+C, Shift+V) Undo (Ctrl+Z) or redo (Shift+Ctrl+Z) Improvements: Drag system improved (ghost item while dragged). Need some time to trigger, to differenciate from selecti…

• Plan B - v0.9.2 - 11 April 2025

  Here is more than 50 improvements for the game! Nothing game-breaking, but we did a complete review and sorting of all the remaining tasks for the game, and we were able to complete a lot of old ones that had been reported/suggested a very long time ago! And now we know exactly what we have to do up to the v1.0 release (still planned for Q3 of this year). And we are currently working on a very interesting and long awaited feature... So don't hesitate to join the discord and the Beta branch, to follow the development and help us by giving feedback on the new features! Plan B - v0.9.2 build 987 Improvements: Charts: show temperature for liquid water and oxygen for farms In zoomed out view, show vehicles, buildings and stops with the color of their containers. Vehicles as oriented rectangles. Update localisation from Crowdin. All help is most welcomed! Especially in Czech, Italian, Japanes…

• Plan B - v0.9.1 - 21 March 2025

  Here is a small update, to fix some urgent issues from v0.9.0. We also optimised performances of large storage areas, and rebalanced the farms so you need 2x less food processing plants and harvest to transport, while still required as much land area. Plan B - v0.9.1 build 970 Improvements: Drones perfs improved (especially in pause and for large storage areas). Localisation updated from Crowdin (thank you all for your help!) Balance: Quality Food requires only 1 Harvest, but farms produce and consume 2x less (same farm area, but 2x less food processing plants and 2x less harvest to transport). UI Info unlocked at level 1 Show 1 level unlocked item in advance Prevent pile of dirt peaks. Add shift to make a nice hill Bugs fix: Fixed new achievments Fixed water shader broken when ambiant occlusion was off Fixed level 23 thing search in case of a strange city shape, and another related bug…

• Plan B - v0.9 major update - 13 March 2025

  v0.9 is the biggest update of the game, with new levels, new items, new mechanics, a story and a completely reworked UI! The new content is pretty much everywhere, especially in the mid and late game. But above all, it completes the game as a whole, just as it was originally conceived. And the new content adds a link and coherence between the different elements: trees produce the oxygen that farms need, research centers lead to the expansion of secondary cities and link them together, and so on. A few important things to note: - SAVE RESET: old saved games are not compatible with this new version. To continue playing old games, activate the branch "v0.8.4" (in the Steam properties of the game). I'm sorry for that, we didn't have choice, too many breaking changes in this update. But it's the only time it will happen, you'll be able to continue playing with v0.9 after v1.0 release. - MOD…

• v0.9 released in a few days - 10 March 2025

  v0.9 will be released for everyone this Thursday, March 13th. It's the biggest update of the game and unfortunately, this version will not be able to read older save files. To enjoy all the new items, levels and events, you'll have to start a new planet. I'm very sorry about this, but we really had no choice - there are far too many changes everywhere, especially in the level progression. But if you wish, you'll still be able to continue playing your current save by activating the "v0.8.4" branch in the Steam properties of the game ("Betas" > "Select the beta (...)" > "v0.8.4 (...)" option). You can also activate the "beta" branch right now to enjoy the v0.9, as it's now finished (almost - we still have some Info page to write, mostly). I'll write another news article on Thrusday with the list of all the improvements and changes, I just wanted to warn you of this incompatibility - which…
