First will the android vwrsion get actually updated? Two:add sandbox mod or console or map editor so we can make like. A map or something what we can play in defense… also is there to repair the radio tower

As far as I’m aware, the Android version isn’t from the official project, its an offshoot from another community member. I’d go bug him 😛

Couldn’t you just use the debug menu to edit the map to your liking?

^ debug menu is a little strange, but its the closest we have to a sandbox editor, and has more versatility in a way.

You could probably also modify stuff on a computer and then export it to then phone somehow.

Unless a feature is highly requested feature, and fits Kevin’s vision of the game and then a dev is interested enough to add it, it will likely be faster to learn programming and add it yourself otherwise you could be waiting a (long) while.

The android version is updated with the rest of the game, but the version on the play store I believe is not updated. You can find the latest experimentals for android [here](http://dev.narc.ro/cataclysm/jenkins-latest/Android/Tiles/). You can also check the [android thread](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/android-version/13348/527) or contact the person who ported it, @a1studmuffin.

Yep, the Google Play beta version is no longer in active development and is basically only still around for legacy reasons. We won’t be revisiting Google Play as a distribution platform since it’s not a good fit for an open source game like Cataclysm.

For latest experimental APKs, just follow the link @anothersimulacrum posted above and manually install it to your device.

If you’re paranoid about installing APKs from an unknown source, you’re welcome to compile an APK from source - instructions are provided [here](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/be1b0690024c2f7efcca433bcf7a596700ca25e1/COMPILING.md#cross-compile-to-android-from-linux).

With any luck you can get it working with F-Droid at some point!

Could you tell me which is the most stable version of the list? (to which you have found fewer errors)

I got the latest from the git repository, and crashes .(256mb phone RAM) Maybe that’s the reason.
