[legendary]

So, what's your thoughts on B18? How many iterations will have Beta branch? What do you expect on Stable 1.0?

Its Alpha 18.  We're not in Beta yet.  New features still getting worked in.  'Beta' is when its pretty much feature complete, things just get tweaked and fixed.

[Modo44]

It's never going beta. When you stop adding features, you can't claim that bugs, performance, and major issues (hello, enemy AI, hello, pathfinding) will get fixed after you stop adding features. Despite Rimworld's positive history, it's still stuck in this vicious early access cycle.

[Chibiabos]

Whoah.  I totally have to recant.  Its officially Beta.  (Check the Steam news).

[Headshotkill]

It is now beta, they will still ad content but not totally new systems like caravans for example. Existing systems and the game overall will still be improved.

No panick, Rimworld has one of the most talented modding communities for totally new unlimited content potential.

I don't see the Beta 18 in the drop down menu. File attached.

I guess they intended to compensate for non-Steam players, who weren't able to play on unstable Alpha versions.

The update is called beta, Tynan explicitly said that it was beta and no alpha, its on the blog post. He said he wont make any more big changes, just tweaks and add content, but dont expect any new system or big rework.

Nice... my A17 save is now lost until I find a previous copy because Steam pushed the update without me being able to defer or disable it.

[Jan2607]

You know you can switch back to A17 on Steam?

[Ser Kitteh]

Huzzah, praise Tynan!

Also, patchnotes when?

[Mr_Man]

The version they have up is different from the one I was running from the Rimworld store: 0.17.1557. I will have to find the old download again.

It's a typo. In the video he's constantly saying "alpha".

Pretty sure it's beta.

Jesus Christ, that colony is a mess! Is this how Tynan usually plays?
