Space Architect News

Hi all!

This update brings a lot of quality of life improvements to the game. I've spent a lot of time testing, whacking bugs, painting over ugly UI and asking code to behave well :D



Changes:

• All drone docks now require a drone to be build
  
• Description of fuel production tech was updated to include info about unlocking dock ports
  
• Drones are now more common in visitors offer
  
• Rebalanced HP of each drone
  
• Drone HP is now saveable HP
  
• Interaction, when multiple objects are hovered at once, was updated - select what is currently seen on top, then rotate through underlying elements (previously, the first element selected was random)
  
• Don't show pipe in hovered objects list, when not in pipe overlay mode
  
• In Guest Dock show when visitor will appear
  
• Easier pipeline laying
  
• Added a quest to pay back some loan
  
• Dropped object is highlighted when clicked
  
• Default UI panels placement cleaned up (they are no longer all over the place)
  
• Changed pipe connection removal to middle mouse button
  
• Improvements to camera movement - pan to mouse when scrolling
  
• Improvements to camera movement - restore move camera by right mouse button
  
• changed pipe overview logo
  
• When demolishing is done - drop resources that were contained in device + were used to build device
  
• Small improvements to UI & lang
  

Bugs:

• Tech tree scrolling/dragging nightmare solved
  
• Graphene production fixed - it can be produced in Chemical Plant
  
• Device build cost is no longer serialized - it might change for some devices it was cached before
  
• Fix for dropped items not being collected sometimes
  
• Starting screen langs fixed
  
• Resolved a bug causing error when selecting devices to build while still in cancel build mode
  

Big thanks to tjtravel who found many of the bugs fixed in this and upcoming updates :)

Hi all!

In this update, I'm bringing you tons of little tweaks here & there to improve overall playability.
There is still a lot to improve, but we're slowly getting there.
I have also one big feature planned before coming out of early access.


Changes:

• Change - now you'll need to pay back a part of the loan to unlock auto sale of higher tier fuels (in addition to unlocking pump via tech)
  
• Refreshed knowledgebase article
  
• Sign corp loan with your name (preloaded from steam name), this will be used to name your character ingame
  
• Added quest to open knowledgebase
  
• UI tweaks
  
• Added 'Game Won' panel
  
• Crew comments displayed differently
  
• Low power event is now based on battery capacity
  

Fixes:

• Pressing Esc when in loan taking menu caused a broken state - now takes you back to the main menu.
  
• You won't be able to overpay your loan (pay back 'only' 13 000 000 000 and not a cent more)
  
• Module tileset had one placement rule fixed
  
• Trade panel - show items starting from the top of panels instead of the middle
  

PS: I'm working on setting up a game wiki, to even better explain in-game mechanics :)

PS 2: Soon Demo version of the game will be available here on Steam.

Hi all!

Good news :)
I've decided to decrease game pricing to a more reasonable level (from $8.99 to $6.99), and I'm thinking about adding a free demo version so that more people can check if they even like it before buying.

Also, expect some game updates in the coming weeks :)

Hi All!

Few bugs were fixed in this version:

• Fixed bug where overflow export was done even if crew supply IN & OUT was checked off (thanks 2 0 3 for finding it)
  
• Trade Panel is now able to display a lot of different items (thanks tjtravel for finding it)
  
• Handle opening Asteroid Drone panel when drone didn't had target to mine
  
• Added destroyed Food Dispenser to starting ship
  

Hello there!

It is time to introduce a new element known to any space dweller - heat. From now on any device will generate heat when working.



Changes

• Temperature system introduced - any device will generate heat when consuming more than 1kWh/day
  
• New device - Passive Cooler - cool down station grid
  
• Trade deal log now shows lost tech points & cash (due to corrupted data & taxes)
  

Optimization & Fixes

• Solved game-crashing bug when reducing trade tax mid-trade
  
• Black Corp repaying button fixed
  
• Scrap metal task now adjusts to amount of scrap metal left on station
  
• Don't lose resources when switching from 'continuous' to 'Do X' production mode
