In Terra Nil you're tasked with restoring life to barren environments and things have begun heating up in the new free update. Named Heatwave, the free expansion brings an entirely new region to bring back to life with sandy deserts, salt pans, canyons and floodplains.
What's actually in the update:
- 13 new animals including crocodiles, elephants, hyenas, and vultures, which appear in the world more naturally and stick around for longer.
- A new photography mode that lets you take snapshots of animals in your restored landscapes, with a scoring system that rewards skilled snappers.
- 3 challenging new maps to tackle: Parched Dunes, Canyon Peaks, and Fracked Floodplain. Bridge vast canyons, douse oil fires, and more.
- New eco-tech to play with including a remotely controlled land recycling bot and the Xerophytium, a building used to restore cactus biomes.

If that's not enough for you - there's also a 60% discount on the game which is the biggest discount it's had so far! So this is a really great time to pick it up and it works wonderfully on Linux systems. It even has a Native Linux version available.
