The Space Program (Endgame Event)

Hi everyone,

it's time for a new but short update and this one is about the space program (the endgame event).

[h3]First of all[/h3]
This will be the last steam update before the Early Access Release on January 19, 2023. The plans for the next weeks are to polish, check and prepare everything for the release!

[h2]Space Program[/h2]

In the last week I have finally finished the big endgame event - the space program. It consists of 10 separate phases which the player has to manage until the main event is completed.

In the following sections, I will give a short and general overview of this event.

[h3]Launch Pad[/h3]
The event starts when the player has researched and built the launch pad. The launch pad is the biggest construction in the game and also consumes the most power.



[h3]Spaceship[/h3]
In the next phases the player has to research and build the single modules of the spaceship. After this is done, it's time to refuel and load the spaceship with all essential resources, like fuel for the thrusters, fuel rods for the ship reactor and more.



[h3]Test Phases[/h3]
To guarantee a successful launch, the player has to perform some test phases to check the various systems. In these phases, attacks from animals, insects and colonists must be fended off.

[h3]Select Crew[/h3]
If the previous phases are managed, it's time to select some colonists and to let them enter your spaceship.



[h3]Launch[/h3]
When all stuff is done, the launch of the spaceship can be initiated. :)



[h2]Related Technologies[/h2]

In connection with the space program, I have also added 5 new technologies. They can be found at the end of the tech tree and consist of the following single techs:

  • Space Program
  • AC13 Thrusters
  • AC13 Supply Module
  • AC13 Cockpit
  • LDCS (Long distance communication station)




I hope you have enjoyed this short update,
Cheers!
