Summary (AI)

AETHUS version 1.035 introduces additional facility signage in the Lost World, Magma Rifts, and Scarpa Climber facilities. Several fixes were made, including resolving issues with item placement in build mode near destructible resources and improving the build menu's checkbox interaction at high UI scaling. Official gamepad support has been added for standard controllers, including Steam Deck, featuring a new interaction scheme for common actions and optional cursor control. The update also includes full Steam Deck control support, with verification work ongoing. The game is on sale for 20% off for two weeks starting at 6PM BST (10AM PST).

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

With the game going on sale for the next two weeks as of tomorrow 6PM BST (10AM PST), there's never been a better time to pick up a copy and begin your adventure!
Remember, you can always try out the free demo (which has also been updated with support) and see if the game is for you, risk-free!
