*World generation added. You can now generate a world from a seed value and choose where to land your escape pods.
  
It’s a whole new world! Here’s Alpha 6, the update with world generation, biomes, a medical system that tracks every wound and body part, and personality traits. You can follow our day-to-day work on the changelog.
+
*Biomes added. There are six biomes on the world map, but only three of them are implemented so far – desert, arid shrubland (the only choice, previously), and temperate forest.
  
If you own the game, you should get an update email from us. You can also get Alpha 6 by re-downloading from the link you used before (it is a permanent link and always has the newest version). Anyone still having trouble should start at this thread.
+
*Obviously, biomes have distinct animal and plant life which present unique challenges and opportunities.
  
Also note that this build will not load old savegames, so keep your old install separate if you want to finish an Alpha 5 colony.
+
*Coastlines added. If you land on a seashore, your map will have a coastline in it (though it doesn’t do much, it’s fun to play on the beach.)
  
==Release Trailer==
+
*Medical system added. Instead of simply having hit points, characters, animals, and mechanoids have a body health tracker that records every wound and every body part and how they interact. Wounds will affect specific abilities, so someone with eyes burned out can’t shoot or do surgery well, and someone with leg wounds will move slow. Wounds can also become permanent if left untreated, or kill someone due to bleeding.

+
*Pain level is tracked. A character in too much pain will become incapacitated.
  
==Changes==
+
*Doctors and medicine now have a purpose! Your doctor will attempt to heal wounded colonists and prisoner (if the prisoner is marked to receive care). If there is medicine available, he will use it to increase the chance of giving quality care. Wounds treated with quality care are much less likely to become permanent.
  
* World generation added. You can now generate a world from a seed value and choose where to land your escape pods.
+
*Delicate body parts like brains or eyes usually end up with permanent damage when harmed.
* [[Biomes]] added. There are six biomes on the world map, but only three of them are implemented so far – desert, arid shrubland (the only choice, previously), and temperate forest.
+
 
* Obviously, biomes have distinct [[animal]] and [[plant]] life which present unique challenges and opportunities.
+
*Characters now have personality traits which affect gameplay! Enjoy playing with colonists who are lazy or hardworking, neurotic, psychically sensitive or deaf, bloodlusty, or nudist.
* Coastlines added. If you land on a seashore, your map will have a coastline in it (though it doesn’t do much, it’s fun to play on the beach.)
