When we decided to have both Cold and Dirt Worlds should be full mappacks, as you probably noticed, we have started to move the maps back and forth between the two mappacks, which caused that the Cold Worlds become almost empty, but the Dirt has been fully filled with maps. By our original plans, these two mappacks were belong together, we just splitted them because of the story. But if Cold Worlds would be a full mappacks, that means we would to have make many Dead Sea like maps, which is the hardest kind of maps to make, and they are simliar to eachother, so we can't make them unique, and 16 of them is too much. So we have removed the Dirt Worlds bonus maps, and merged the Cold Worlds into it. So that 4 Cold Worlds maps are the bonus maps of the Dirt Worlds, and the Asteroids have moved to a completely new mappack, but the Dirt Worlds is now considered finished (only the final test reamining), so it got the number 3, so you can play on it as soon as possible, and the new mappack got number 4. The content of this new mappack will published soon, and the FAQ will also be updated soon. It is possible to change something in the whole story, so keep watching the whole Solar System of Devil Worlds!
Devil Worlds Status Report: Grass Worlds has been accepted and should be out within few hours. The one you currently see (1.2) is the old series and will be removed, just like the 4: Dirt Worlds, so do not download them (Populous Downloader will also clear them after the new release)!
