🌻Solarpunk feedback board

Please post in English only. Posts and comments in other languages may be removed. Only one idea per suggestion. Long lists of unrelated suggestions may be removed. Please make sure your suggestions are clear and actionable.

Here are some things to keep in mind about Solarpunk and this suggestion board:

  1. PLEASE SEARCH TO SEE IF YOUR IDEA ALREADY EXISTS! Many suggestions are duplicates. If your idea already exists, please upvote the existing post instead of creating a new one.
  2. Our first priority is to fix major issues, crashes, bugs, multiplayer problems, and other things that may affect the current game experience. First, we want the game to run well for everyone. After that, we can look more closely at expanding the game.
  3. No promises! Developing games is complex and time-consuming. Even changes that sound small can require a lot of development, testing, balancing, UI work, or platform checks. If we say we like your idea, that does not mean it will happen, or that it will happen soon.
  4. We make the final call. A highly upvoted suggestion does not automatically mean we can or will add it to the game. We are listening to your ideas and will consider the ones that fit the vision, scope, and priorities for Solarpunk.
  5. Suggestions should be actionable. A suggestion should have a clear and achievable goal. Saying “make this better” does not tell the team what you actually want.
  6. Don’t use this board to report bugs. If you need help or want to check known issues, please visit our Solarpunk Help Center first: LINK 🔗
