Following the recent momentum of "The Swarm" update and subsequent hotfixes, this latest experimental push focuses on refining the experience before these changes hit the live servers. For the uninitiated, the experimental branch is where the most dedicated Travelers go to stress-test incoming patches, helping the developers squash bugs that only appear across the vast hardware configurations of the PC community.
While the specific changelog remains fluid as testing progresses, the update is confirmed to contain numerous incoming fixes and general improvements. This is a standard part of the Hello Games workflow—moving quickly to address community feedback and technical hitches that inevitably crop up when you're managing an infinite, procedurally generated universe.
If you are playing on PC via Steam and want to help out, you can opt into this branch by selecting the game's properties and entering the '3experimental' code in the betas tab. Just keep in mind that these builds are, by definition, a work in progress. For most players, these fixes will likely transition to the main public branch within a few days once they've been verified as stable. It is great to see the studio maintaining this level of responsiveness so soon after a major content drop.
