DragDrop Games released several updates after launch. The summaries below describe selected developer-reported changes, not a complete changelog. Follow the linked official notes for the full list and check your installed version before using older guides.
1.0.5 — October 28, 2026
Building can be placed on dusty ground, moved with connected pieces and removed for a full refund; machines can snap to foundations. J.O.O.N.A.S. capsule delivery now distributes to the emptiest catcher in the nearest group, with overflow when the group is over the stated threshold. The patch also addresses a post-load freeze, capsule packing in large bases, memory leaks and some big-base stutters.
1.0.4 — October 25, 2026
The developer reports major robot improvements, a more capable Moon map, automatic backups and faster saving in large bases. Robots can work without a nearby player. The notes warn that saves created in 1.0.4 cannot be opened in earlier versions. A fix for launching on Steam Deck or Linux with older Proton does not establish native Linux support.
1.0.3 — October 24, 2026
Upgrade purchases became shared across the crew through the host’s upgrade matrix. The patch also addressed loading some heavily cleaned bases and added save-recovery safeguards. It changed garage and conveyor behavior; consult the full notes for exact cases.
Update 1.1 plans
In its 600,000-player announcement, DragDrop Games targeted December 2026 for update 1.1 and described plans for more production and late-game content. This is a plan, not a confirmed release day or guaranteed final feature list.
For how the current catcher behavior affects construction, see factory layouts; for stutters and save precautions, see performance.
More changes in 1.0.5
The update added a confirmation when opening a game to the public and a text-to-speech chat voice slider under Settings → Audio. A separate vehicle-camera option controls whether the view recenters behind the vehicle. These settings address different needs: one concerns access to a shared world, the others change how the game sounds or feels.
The developer also fixed a case where a resting controller or other device could cause unwanted forward movement or ignore keyboard and mouse input. Sectors that showed no dust but remained at zero percent were checked on world load, and finished sectors could complete and pay. The notes describe these as specific fixes; they do not establish that every input or sector-progress problem has the same cause.
More changes in 1.0.4
The map gained waypoints, robot activity and a way to focus or teleport; a panel also shows discovered stations. Night vision goggles and suit HUD indicators were added. The developer says robots were reworked to clean one hex at a time, navigate around buildings and continue working away from players.
Multiplayer changes included reworked cleaned-ground synchronization and the ability for crewmates to attach splitters and mergers to each other’s belts. The patch also fixed a case in which machines could stop with a capsule-packing message despite having power and materials. Windows uses DirectX 11 by default from this update to prevent the AMD GPU crashes described in the notes.
More changes in 1.0.3
The host gained kick and ban controls in the crew menu. Existing saves kept the highest upgrade level bought by any player when upgrades became shared. Vehicles could be called, stored and upgraded at any garage; when a garage is demolished, its vehicles move to another or wait for the next one built.
The developer also changed deposit payments so the intake pays the amount shown on its screen, and dust and stone arriving by belt are paid as they arrive. The 1.0.4 notes warn that saves made in 1.0.4 cannot be opened in older versions of the game. Keep that in mind before sharing a save with someone running an older build.
How to use this timeline
A patch can change a mechanic and fix a bug in the same area. For example, a change to capsule delivery does not guarantee that every blocked production line has been fixed. Match the symptom and version to the relevant note, then check the full developer announcement for details omitted here. The 1.1 announcement is a development preview: its proposed machines, materials, upgrades and performance work may change before release.
