First Colony Bundle

[ImBumi]

Heyo, just checking if I buy the First colony bundle, will I get a season pass?

The graphic on the main Surviving mars page says so but I don't see it in the bundle. Also, just to confirm that the season pass will make all future DLC free for me?

[BLÀde]

below and beyond isn't included in the bundle and probably nothing else will be added to it from now on.

[ImBumi]

So not a season pass then?

[BLÀde]

it's an OLD season pass from the previous devs content only

[ImBumi]

Oh okay, that makes more sense. I haven't really kept up with the surviving mars updates. but is below and beyond, the only thing not included in the first colony bundle?

[BLÀde]

yes

You should feel lucky that the latest B&B DLC doesn't including in the bundle since there are many bugs that haven't been fixed by develop team yet. I think no one who bought it will recommend others to buy it now (until mostly bugs are fixed in unscheduled future).

Besides, the bundle doesn't contains Stellaris Dome Set & In-Dome Buildings Pack DLCs too.

P.S Remind : The latest free update brought some serious bugs came into the base game and made the whole game lost smoothly gameplay. Please don't feel surprise if you found them out when you play the base game (even without any DLCs)

No. There was another DLC not included.

Paradox Interactive originally meant the First Colony Edition to be the whole game so they made it look as if you got the whole game with the Season Pass , then after developer parted with them then they apparently decided that they wanted to expand game using another developer - and they didn't care to update the page to say something like 'Year 1' DLC instead of Season Pass , as that would be like a admittance that people that bought had reason to expect to get what came later in their non specified Season Pass..

The First Colony Pack also not including Stellaris Dome Set DLC.

I don't think buying the game now is a great idea. It's broken in several ways abd who knows when/if they fix everything.

All the content included in the Season Pass is included in the First Colony Edition (but you won't see the words 'Season Pass' on the bundle list), plus the Deluxe Upgrade Pack. The Season Pass only included 2 DLC and 3 content packs - all of which have been released. New DLC and content packs is not included.

Not buying now is definitely a great idea because this is Paradox, and everything but DLCs released in the last year (which is also the amount of time it takes Paradox to fix the bugs in the DLCs) go on sale for 50% off four times a year (75% for the base game), and if you keep your eyes peeled, you can get a bundle that offers the same content at an even steeper discount every couple of years. In fact, Surviving Mars, the base game, was just given out free a couple months ago.

They were referring to when the deluxe edition was given away on Humble a while back, my friend got the game that way. It was available for a lot longer than the free window at BB's release, it was like a week almost.
