Really weird thing to happen before the game is even released. The game previously got delayed and is now being moved to a different team.

    Yeah I was an early adopter myself, it was my gateway drug into rimworld and dwarf fortress. I stopped playing shortly after they sold the studio

      Introversion still exists and wasn’t sold, they’re making a somewhat similar game now - The Last Starship.

        PA is still fun if you can look past the bugs. It’s a really interesting twist on the colony sim formula to have basically an adversarial relationship with your pawns. It makes you think about security zones in much the same way as someone designing a secure facility like a bank vault or military base.

      I believe the last pre-Paradox build is still available under Steam Betas.

      It’s a damn shame what Paradox did to the game. It turned from a near-perfect sim with excellent optimization and stability into a laggy, buggy mess with loads of DLCs that both fixed and introduced more bugs. So the usual Paradox product, where stability is completely random based on which DLCs you own.
