Version 1.3.0 Is Now Live

Version 1.3.0 is now live, bringing a procedural generation system to the game.

[h3]Procedural Generation:[/h3]
The new procedural generation system will randomly generate a space station. This will increase the replayability of the game as players will need to adapt their survival strategy to the random space station.





The procedural generation system has made constructable station mechanics much more likely given that they would ultimately share many of the same underlying systems.

[h3]More Realistic EVA Debris/Wreckage/Cargo Movement[/h3]
The debris and wreckage scattered around the station are no longer stationary. They will drift around the station in a more realisitic manner.





Other Changes:
  • During equipment repairs the chance of injury will now be displayed to the player.
  • Debris and wreckage will now be tracked on the HUD while drifting during EVA.
  • A minor collision bug has been fixed inside the starting module of the station.
  • The new procedural generation system has necessitated significant rebalancing of the difficulty levels. Many changes will be noticeable in the game on all difficulty levels.
  • Many other fixes and improvements.
