Hey Jim and Sven,

Just curious to know when testers will start getting access to the new content coming. Perhaps I misread it, but it sounded as if it'd be soon.

Hope you're both well!

Yep, it will be soon. A stub version of the Tinkers faction is in the game, but it's missing enough assets to be functional.

Yay, can hardly wait to give the evil(ish) machines a whirl!

Are you also going to release the test version via Steam beta?

The current "stable" test version is now always available on the Steam beta branch also.

Sweet. Looking forward to trying it!

Do you have a list of the changes other than the Tinkers as a Major?

The official announcement is imminent (should be within the next few days), after which we can talk about the features.

Hmmm, not seeing anything on the Steam Beta tab. Is it supposed to be accessible to anyone at this point?

If possible, please insert a balance act in there for Marauders and Pirate raids when attacking AI:
If the AI has the money to pay them off, and is not expected to win the battle, have them pay the attackers off

On higher and even later on medium difficulty the AI should have enough funds to do this in most of the cases, and if not ir will be pushed around by it neighbours anyhow so not a bad thing if it looses some colonists or even the whole colony

Guessing so. Nothing posted on Steam as of yet.
