Good news! It was pretty easy to add appearance customisation into the game! I've put it into the unstable branch over on Discord if you'd be willing to try it out!? <3 I don't plan on adding support for custom traits rn – they need to have at least one negative trait, none of us are perfect :D

That's a great question! The movement speed buffs are multiplicative, so they'll always be above zero.

Stormcloak Games @stormcloak.games · 06/08/2026
Keep in mind -10% is just one effect - if an explorer is hot, hungry, tired, AND unhappy, they'll all stack and your poor explorer will be barely able to move 😂

A promotional illustration for the latest Adaptory Update. The scene shows an explorer with grey hair and an orange vest resting in a cozy decorated room. They are reading a book, seated in a blue bean bag, next to a large bookshelf. Behind them, a panel of insulation is partially visible, and on the other side of the room are a couple of potted plants, a warming space heater, and a window or painting showing solar panels with mountains behind them. The image also has the Adaptory logo in the top left, and a text box that reads "UPDATE 2" in the bottom right.

Thank you! Yes, when they're unhappy (mood below 40%) they'll walk, dig, and do other errands 10% slower. Conversely, when they're happy (mood above 90%) they'll be 10% faster! There's lots and lots of other buffs too.

Stormcloak Games @stormcloak.games · 05/08/2026
Yes! If you want to build the mega-base of perfect insulation, you can. :D
000
Stormcloak Games @stormcloak.games · 05/08/2026
You can block background temperatures with background panels, and with the right passive/active cooling and insulation, you can keep _any_ part of _any_ base _any_ constant temperature. So it depends how efficient you want to be 😂
100
Stormcloak Games @stormcloak.games · 05/08/2026
Thank you <3 Explorers can't take damage yet (because there's no way to heal them... yet!), so they won't die from overheat! But when they overheat, they'll have a temperature tantrum to rapidly cool down, in the coolest spot they can find. And they'll be increasingly upset the whole time!

#Update 2 brings a bunch of new heating and cooling buildings to #Adaptory! You can set up heating systems utilising gases, liquids, or your standard space heaters like these! Be careful things don’t get too toasty, or your explorers might struggle to survive... #indiegame #earlyaccess #indiedev

Stormcloak Games @stormcloak.games · 04/08/2026
Keep an eye on how #Adaptory’s Temperature Update is heating things up with our updated thermal overlays. Not only do your buildings affect temperature, but each planetoid and biome brings different thermal challenges for you to explore and adapt your base! #indiegame #earlyaccess #indiedev

Stormcloak Games @stormcloak.games · 03/08/2026
#Update 2 also brings all new buildings, including this high-powered constructor, allowing you to craft more fascinating components to help your base thrive. What could this mysterious object be used for…? You’ll have to try out #Adaptory’s Temperature Update to find out! #indiegame #earlyaccess

Customise your #Adaptory base with cozy comfort buildings in #Update 2! Each explorer has their different design requirements to make your planetoid a (temporary) home. Bean bags, bookshelves, adjustable lighting, and more will really tie your rooms together. #indiegame #earlyaccess #indiedev

#Update 2 also brings Rooms to #Adaptory! An appropriately organised base will get the most out of your explorers, granting mood boosts and allowing advanced technology to thrive. "But where are the decorations?!" Keep an eye out on our socials tomorrow for more… 👀 #indiegame #earlyaccess
A screenshot of the upcoming Adaptory content. A base is visible with an overlay casting shadow over some of buildings. In the centre of the image, three rooms are highlighted in different colours; the bedroom in the top left is pink, the laboratory in the top right is blue, and the conservatory underneath them is green.

A text box from the bedroom displays information as follows. "Oxygen 2.06kg. 16.76 degrees Celsius. 32 lux. Background panel (granite) @ 10.90 degrees Celsius. Shern's bedroom."

A promotional image for Adaptory participating in Nonbinary Coded Games 2026. The background is tri-shaded diagonal purple lines. In the foreground on the left side are many adorable illustrated cartoon-style characters; a witch with green hair and a purple cloak and pointed witch’s hat, an anime-style rabbit character with a green dress and cape, two carrots floating on either side of it, a blue and white coloured cartoon humanoid demon with a mullet-style haircut, and a neko cat person with short brown hair, whiskers, brown dress, and a slinky brown tail. 

On the right side of the image is the title for the festival, “Nonbinary Coded Games”. Under that is the cover image for Adaptory, with many explorers hard at work. Under that panel are the dates for the festival, July 13 - 20, 2026. A funky rectangular textbox has the says “Celebrating games made by nonbinary creators”.

The middle silhouette is a rectangular shape with slightly curved sides, and a bumpy top side. The rightmost silhouette looks mostly square with two bumps on the top side and two bumps on the bottom. Under them are three question marks in italics.

Play #Adaptory your way with our latest update! We've delivered more complexity with difficulty settings to choose from to make your next game as relaxed or tricky as you wish. Dare to give hardcore difficulty a go? You might beat it before we can… #indiegame #earlyaccess #basebuilding
A screenshot of the updated difficulty selection screen on a green nebula background, highlighting the "Relaxed" difficulty. An illustration of two explorers watching a shooting star is underneath. A hover over text box reads "Explorers can't die, resources are abundant, and random events are kinder. Recommended for players who have never played a base-building game before."

Under that, a text box lists the adjustments to the gameplay for the Relaxed difficulty. "Explorer death not enabled. Building requirements -50%. Event difficulty -50%. Event scale -25%. Explorer speed -25%. Resources +300%. Event chance -50%. Event frequency -67%. Explorer mood +5%. Oxygen consumption -50%. Space exposure -50%."A screenshot of the updated difficulty selection screen on a green nebula background, highlighting the "Balanced" difficulty. An illustration underneath shows two explorers digging in the dirt, one of them pointing their crafting device. A hover over text box reads "The way Adaptory was meant to be played: Explorers can die, but can be revived with research. Resources and random events are balanced. Recommended for players familiar with base-building and strategy games."

Under that, a text box of the adjustments to the gameplay for the Balanced difficulty reads "no impact".A screenshot of the updated difficulty selection screen on a green nebula background, highlighting the "Difficult" difficulty. An illustration underneath shows two explorers frowning at a closed machine. A hover over text box reads "Explorer death is much more unforgiving. Resources are rare and random events frequent. Recommended for players who are looking for a challenge."

Under that, a text box lists the adjustments to the gameplay for the Difficult difficulty. "Building requirements +50%. Event difficulty +50%. Event scale +25%. Explorer mood -5%. Explorer speed +10%. Oxygen consumption +100%. Plant growth -25%. Research cost +100%. Resources -50%. Stamina consumption +10%."A screenshot of the updated difficulty selection screen on a green nebula background, highlighting the "Hardcore" difficulty. An illustration underneath shows two explorers looking frightened at a stream of lava behind them. A hover over text box reads "Explorer death is permanent. Resources are scarce and random events never seem to stop. Not recommended."

Under that, a text box lists the adjustments to the gameplay for the Hardcore difficulty. "Explorer death permanent. Building requirements +150%. Event chance +100%. Event difficulty +100%. Event frequency +100%. Event scale +50%. Explorer mood -10%. Explorer speed +10%. Oxygen consumption +300%. Oxygen generation -25%. Plant death +100%. Plant growth -50%. Research cost +200%.
