Hello friends,

We're unleashing our new DLC today! Welcome to The Prehistoric Planet Pack.

This DLC features an existential threat that no ONI colony has ever faced before: a massive impactor asteroid aimed right at this brave new world!

The Prehistoric Planet Pack travels deep into the past, to a forgotten world ruled by ancient dino-like critterssome so big that their stomping will auto-harvest crops, others so prey-driven that they can't be trusted in a ranch. (Do they also have a taste for Duplicants? Only one way to find out.) There are brand-new biomes, plants, resources, foods and buildings, as well as two new recruits who've been stranded there for longer than they can remember. Plus, an exclusive collection of cosmetic blueprints that cultivate a truly paleontological palette.

Discover new long-range firepower to help your crew valiantly defend their new home, obliterate the incoming space rock before it hits, and change the course of history. In this universe, there's no such thing as safe... luckily, survival is in Duplicants' DNA! (Sort of.) For colonies that thrive on an amplified threat of mass extinction, there's an extra-explosive scenario available in the Lab.
