- Patches, Improvements & Bonus DLC time! - 28 June 2022
Since its release in December, Kubi has seen a lot of patches, improvements and added content! We have improved the user interface based on player feedback, both eliminating things that were needlessly confusing to new players and adding more help and warnings to prevent common problems. We improved the game's balance and tweaked many gameplay mechanics to provide a smoother experience. We expanded modding support for the game, allowing both mods with more content as well as more options to change the game in general. We have fixed all the bugs and glitches that came up after release and improved the game's overall performance. Finally, to celebrate six months of Kubi and the warm days of summer, we bring you some bonus content! :) Summer Bonus DLC time! This patch adds more buildings, decorations and options for your colonists to relax and regenerate on a warm summer day. - Content: Ad…
