So how do I go about patching the game if I've deleted my email with the game's download link?
Make a topic in the support section I think
Also, bookmark the link once you have it again.
Missing your download email? (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=1875.0) - sticky in support section.
Thanks, got it now.
Until it's released on Steam, you'll just have to bookmark and re-download for each patch (at your leisure, of course).
Usually, I wait until we've been on a certain letter (usually B or C) for a while, collect all of the mods I want that have updated to that, and then stick with it until the next Alpha.
