Deforest a Planet doubles its worlds in a new update

November 11, 2026

Deforest a Planet has received its biggest update so far, doubling the number of planets and rebuilding the economy behind its expanding lumber operation. The Android incremental game from solo developer Venusian Games offers more worlds to clear, stronger super woodcutters and increased offline earnings.

There is one important catch for returning players. Existing saves are incompatible with the new progression system. You can continue playing the old version, but switching to the updated game means starting fresh.

Just one more tree

The premise is exactly what the title suggests. Hire woodcutters, send them across a small planet and keep chopping until every tree is gone. Sell the timber, invest in your operation, then prestige and repeat with permanent upgrades helping you work faster. A pretty standard idle-game scenario.

It’s a relaxed management loop with a fairly terrible environmental policy.

There’s a personal story behind that premise, too. On the studio’s website, the developer says the idea came from childhood sessions of Warcraft II and Age of Empires II, trying to harvest every tree on solo maps as quickly as possible.

More planets

The update adds five planets, new art assets and soundtracks. The economy has been rebuilt and rebalanced with the aim of maintaining steadier progression throughout the game.

Super woodcutters have been strengthened, and offline earnings have increased. The published changelog also lists prestige gains at every 1% instead of every 10%, plus optional planet skips.

Performance and quality of life improvements are here too and a fresh leaderboard awaits at the end. The developer is particularly interested in feedback on the middle portion of the game, so the revised pacing is still something players are being encouraged to scrutinise.

A fresh start, when you’re ready

The save incompatibility is inconvenient, but necessary. Keeping the old version lets you continue your current progress, but choosing the new version starts a separate, fresh run under the new economy. The dev says no further resets are planned.

On Android, Deforest a Planet is free to play with all planets available. The announcement describes advertising as entirely optional, while Google Play also lists in-app purchases.

A free browser demo is available on itch.io, and a Steam version can be wishlisted. The browser demo now includes seven planets, although the itch.io description still contains an older three-planet limit. Android is the version explicitly offered with the full selection.

This as a solo-developed project. Google Play lists Mario Artur Dornelles Reichow as the developer behind the publishing account.
