''NOTE: This is not a list of features that aren't implemented, this is a list of upcoming features. Details here are not final, and are subject to change, or may be largely speculation.''

For the official development roadmap list, see here.

Mosaic Slime
The Mosaic Slime is referenced by the Slimepedia page for the Prickle Pear. It's encrusted with beautiful patches of glass and can produce similar ultra-hot anomalies to the hazards found in the Glass Desert. It's scheduled to be added in 0.6.0 with the Glass Desert.

Dervish Slime
This slime can create whirlwinds and even is able to ride them! It's scheduled to be added in 0.6.0.

Tangle Slime
This mysterious hybrid of plant/slime has flowers which emit a noxious cloud of pollen. It's scheduled to be added in 0.6.0.

Fire Slime
This is a little, burning slick of oil that dines on ash. It will be added in 0.6.0.

Prickle Pear
A fruit based on Pears, favorite of Mosaic Slimes. They are purple and green on top pears with spikes on them. Their name is likely a direct reference of prickly pears which grow on optunia cacti. They will be added with the Glass Desert.

Silver Parsnip
A fruit based on Parsnips, favorite of either Tangle Slimes or Dervish Slimes. Their texture is that of a paler carrot with purple leaves, with the main body being silver. They will be added with the Glass Desert.

Painted Hen
Not much is known about this hen, but it will be added with the Glass Desert and it's a favorite of either Tangle Slimes or Dervish Slimes.

Painted Chickadoo
A chickadoo version of the painted hen. It will be added with the Glass Desert.

Glass Desert
It acts as the "end-game zone". It's a barren wasteland covered with giant, twisted glass structures which cause ultra hot anomalies in the environment. It has little hints of what it once was, and you might be the key to bring it back. It's set to release in 0.6.0. Four new slimes will also reside here - the Mosaic Slime, the Dervish Slime, the Tangle Slime and the Fire Slime. Also, as of now in the game, this area is only mentioned by an achievement.

More Zone Sections/Sub Areas
Current zones will get more sections added to them and there will be more sub areas for you to explore in the future.

More Treasure Pods
More treasure pods are planned to be added in the future updates, likely in The Glass Desert.

The Ranch
Currently none.

Ultra Dash Boots
Another Dash Boots upgrade will come with more 7Zee rewards in 0.6.0 that will allow you to use up even less power when running.

Golden Sureshot
It's unknown what this will do, but it will come with more 7Zee rewards in 0.6.0.

Tier 3 & 4 Extractors
Tier 3 Extractors are scheduled to be released in 0.6.0 (or probably new ones altogether), and there are Tier 4 Extractors in the game, although they possibly won't be added.

New Utilities
Hydro Shower and a Potted Tactus might be added. There are also upgraded versions of current utilities in the game's code, but they behave exactly like the normal ones.

More Warp Tech
More teleporters and warp depots will be added in 0.6.0.

More Decorations
More decorations will be added in 0.6.0.

Advanced & Master Gordo Snares
Advanced and Master Gordo Snares will be added in 0.6.0.

Market Link
A gadget that links to the plort market just like the Refinery Link will be added in 0.6.0.

More Slime Toys
More Slime toys will be added, likely for the slimes in The Glass Desert.

More 7Zee Rewards
The existing ranks will have more rewards, like the Ultra Dash Boots, and the Golden Sureshot. This will be added in 0.6.0.

New Skybox + Weather
A new skybox will be added with a future update that will change with the current time of the day.

Beatrix Art
We will finally get to see what Beatrix looks like, although that already happened in one of the teasers for the 0.4.0 update, and it happened again on the GDC conference. This will come in 0.6.x.

5-Day Rush Update
The 5-Day Rush gamemode might get updated in the future updates.

More Achievements
More will be added in future updates. The one that is most likely going to be added is the Ruins entrance achievement.

New Gamemodes
New gamemodes might get added in the future updates.
