The developer has been actively patching the game since launch with multiple feature and bug-fix updates. On May 22, 2026, in the Community Feedback Update post, the developer explicitly confirmed that Update 1.1 is "absolutely happening," and that the team is shifting focus from stability work toward new disasters and gameplay content. A short break was mentioned before jumping into larger content updates, but the developer committed to continuing to monitor feedback and push hotfixes in the meantime. The most recent post is dated May 28, 2026.
