You’ve been waiting for it and now it’s almost here: the rest of the map is being unlocked in 1.0!
Sandswept Highlands
The Sandswept Highlands are the wind-swept graveyard of an empire, a dusty desert filled with mesas and ancient ruins. It’s one of the biggest additions to 1.0, with new crops, minerals, music, and answers to many of your biggest story questions. The wide and open plains make it perfect for huge endgame farms, while the cliffs and ruins add verticality to exploration and resource gathering. You’ll need to travel here to complete the final step of your journey to save the colonies.
This area is for experienced Exofarmers, with late-game resources and extra tough Floaters!
Hollow Marsh

Nestled among the clifftops of the Sandswept Highlands is The Hollow Marsh, a foggy swamp where local conditions have turned the grass blue and the water red! Whether you’re looking to add the new Starfall Tree to your collection or want a farm with a bayou vibe, this place is well worth seeking out.
