We've got tons of great improvements in store and we can't wait for you to check them out. However, as you know, we're a pretty small team, so it might just take a little bit more time for us to get everything just right. We apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. To make the wait a little sweeter, here's a sneak peek at what's coming in the next update: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38168200/f4a63df44000f944dabdd651cf9d156ca5a1b524.png We're changing resource gathering, ...
