Public Test Builds are a way for the Developers of the Game to test and receive community feedback on major upcoming changes prior to their release. Show The Public Test Build uses a separate save game state created about a week prior and does not affect the Player's main save game in any way. A Player can switch between the two builds by opting in and out of the public beta branches through Steam. Public Test Builds are usually accessible for about a week.
