Hello Terraformers!


The terraformation of your planet will go even further with the introduction of fish that you'll be able to breed in the incubator or find in the wild!

Did you like the autocrafter of the previous update? You will love the new drones and logistics that will allow you to transfer items from inventories across the map easily, allowing you to automate everything!

With this new logistics system, the ore extractor t3 lost the need be able to mine anything anywhere. So all the newly placed ore extractor t3 will now extract ore depending on their positioning (same as t1 & t2). Your old extractors t3 will keep digging what they were digging, but we recommend to reset your old extractors to fully enjoy the new drones.

We took a bit more time to fix bugs, so we are delivering this update one day after schedule, but we think it was for the best.

Check out the trailer:

Your save files will transfer seamlessly to the update. But if you want to try a fresh adventure, feel free to create a new game to fully experience this update!

The goal of this update is giving more toys to play to people who want to spend hours into the game,
while at the same time, making sure the new fish terraformation stage does not require heavy machinery, and shouldn't be too hard to achieve, as we want to avoid grind for the more casual players.

Balancing the experience of a game with so much things to unlock and progression is difficult, and we try our best to keep the experience enjoyable trough the terraformation process, for new players and old ones.

Amélie & I really hope you will like this update, and that the work we put into it during the last months will pay out!

Thanks once again to everyone supporting us, giving feedback, reviewing the game, and sending us good vibes!

Happy terraforming!

Hello terraformers!

First of all, Brice & I wish you all an amazing year 2023!

2022 has been a great year for Miju Games, and we are really glad Planet Crafter received such an overwhelming reception!

We will continue to focus mainly on Planet Crafter during the year 2023 and after that.
We still have a lot of ideas for the game and we want to bring it to the next level during this new year.

We kept our promise to give you an update every 2-3 months last year, and we'll do our best to continue providing quality content untill the full 1.0 release.


In order to prepare the future of the game, refine our workflow and find talents that will help us improve Planet Crafter even more, we worked on a lot of things that were not directly related to the next update during the last 3 months.

Because of this, we are now aiming for the end of february for the next update. This little delay will give us more time to add meaningfull content to it.


So here's an updated roadmap for the year to come. Of course, this is not a final version, and it can change depending on how things go. We'll update it during the year.

And we plan to continue maintaining the game even after the release with free updates and DLC's.

So if you like Planet Crafter, rejoice, there's a lot more to come!

Hello terraformers!


One difficulty with base building games will always be performance. As you create amazing outposts with hundred of machines and a lot of vegetation, the framerate will undoubtedly suffer.

To support the creation of beautifull planets, we just uploaded a new version with some engine optimizations. Depending on your save file and computer, you should see some FPS improvements. (Full changelog at the end of this post)

Feel free to let us know if you saw some FPS boost!


Since the launch of the game, we had a lot of request from the community to be able to experience it differently. So during the past few weeks, we partnered with GOG and GeforceNow to let you play Planet Crafter on this Platforms!

Get Planet Crafter on GOG[www.gog.com].


We are currently focusing on the next big update, and development is going pretty well. We want to add a lot of content in this one, and our goal is to deliver it before the end of july.

We can't really tell you exactly what it will contain yet, but here's a super secret sneak peek :
