A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Hello! We have a new beta build up with the new shovel/terraforming tool. This is a big improvement over the old system and allows for exact terrain manipulation with a draggable cube. Check it out in the Beta Branch of Buildanauts. Additionally, We are aware of a bug with the trailer tool where the Tool Belt button is unselectable after equipping the trailer tool. You have to press .

Hello! Version 1.2.1.0 is now live! This version has a new system in place to provide faster Save/Load times. Unfortunately, this means that your older save files are no longer compatible. IMPORTANT If any issues occur once the update is complete try to clear out the SaveData and ActiveData folders located in your Buildanauts/GameData directory.
