How long will the alpha be open?
The alpha demo is playable for the next three weeks. While this is likely the last open alpha, there will be more closed alphas until Early Access.


How far does the demo reach and what is planned?
The alpha offers an insight into the gameplay up to the point where a community centre can be constructed - about two hours playtime. There is still much planned to be implemented until Early Access starts!
For example:

• More maps with different biomes and climates
  
• More animals, animations, buildings, decorations, and production chains
  
• Improved AI: Enhanced needs and a memory for animals and humans
  
• Revised UI, improved tutorial, and introduction
  
• Enhanced trading system between settlements and other factions
  
• Improved diplomacy system and small history
  
• Better mod support
  
• Improved map editor
  
• ... and much more!

I have feedback to the game / I found a bug
Wonderful! Constructive feedback is very welcome! Please let us know on Discord [discord.com] in the Alpha-Demo #feedback channel. Please try to be specific about what you liked, disliked, or what problems you had. We will have a look add the items to the feedback list. :)


The Game crashed. What should I do?
Oh no! Let's work on that! Best is to let us know on Discord [discord.com] & share the following with us:

• Your operating system (especially if you are playing on Linux)
  
• The "FatalError.txt" (you find it at the executables: Right click in the steam library on the game: Manage: Browse local files)
  
• If there is somehow no "FatalError.txt", please send the "log.txt"
  
• If you remember doing something specific, please let me know :)

I do not automatically collect data and I like transparency. You can inspect the files yourself to see what they contain before you send them :)
