Rover Builder Patch Notes — July 14, 2021
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hey Builders!
We are so happy to finally bring you the Rover Builder: Terraforma update. Check out the trailer with the new features below:
We have already teased and showcased a bunch of new content you are getting with this patch - so we can't wait to see what you do with all these new tools at your disposal! The biggest edition is of course Level Editor - where you can build fully playable maps and missions from scratch - using all of the tools we used to create the missions that are already in-game. We also have a batch of new levels and missions available to play. Terraforma is our biggest update yet - so make sure to tag @RoverBuilder on Twitter so we can see all your new creations - go get building!
We plan to continually add to this list of new features as we continue in early access - with more editing and building options, more tools, parts and objects available to you. This is only the beginning.
