Galaxy Pass Station News

Hi everyone, we're back in touch! ✨

We are happy to introduce you the fourth major update of 1.4 - "New Stories", in which we have added more diverse events and incidents.

[h3]🍔 At the bottom of the page, there's a surprise waiting for you![/h3][h2]👀 The Mafia is waking up...[/h2]
Be careful, you will now be pestered by a certain Mafia - its boss and members. They often demand that you pay your daily dues in the form of money and DNA data, and if you don't, rest assured that the Mafia members will do maximum damage to your space station.

[h2]💰 Trading and Merchants[/h2]
The game now has merchants, who may occasionally call you and offer to buy all sorts of different items for the station. There are decor merchants, and there are those who trade other things. Moreover, you can now bargain with them, and not only with merchants. Be careful, sometimes traders offer not very favorable prices, and sometimes the price can be knocked down.

[h2]🪐 Second Chance[/h2]
Many players were frustrated that bad endings led to total defeat and the loss of their space station. Now the story has changed, every player will have a chance to rectify the situation and continue to build their space station even if they reach a bad ending. However, there is a heavy price to pay for everything.

[h2]🏢 Greedy Corporation[/h2]
Now, the Spherical Corporation may require you to pay daily taxes, fees, etc. At some point, these payments may even become indefinite. The Corporation notices how much money you make, they wants their piece of the pie from your space station.

[h2]🧑‍🏭 Mass Strikes[/h2]
If you have a lot of employees, they may demand a massive wage increase. Of course, this is not a pleasant event, but you will have to comply with their demands or you will face a mass strike or even mass layoffs.

[h2]💩 New daytime events[/h2]
We've added new events that take place during the day. We'll try to tell you without spoilers. Some of them are mafia related, some of them are tax related, some of them are related to the character of passengers at the station, some of them are related to chatter and trading. But rest assured, the game can surprise you during the day, not just in the morning!

[h2]👻 Chair and Art Thieves[/h2]
We have added two new criminals, one steals chairs, the other steals paintings. Be careful, your station may be left without chairs and even without valuable paintings. The thief of paintings can appear at the moment when you are offered to buy something valuable.

[h2]🛠️ Improvements and fixes[/h2]

• Added: At the end of the working day, information about how much you pay your paycheck in total appeared.
  
• The tooltip for station items will now have information about the lack of resources.
  
• Tooltips above the cursor are now shown with a delay, thanks to this they will be less annoying.
  
• Fixed minor UI bugs.
  
• Fixed: Technology prices sometimes didn't take inflation and deflation into account, which could upset the balance.
  
• Fixed a bug that after loading the game, some passengers required a bio-data check (via bio-scanners) even if the technology (bio-tests) was not open.
  
• Fixed minor localization bugs.
  

We are announcing a cozy new game in the Galaxy Pass Station universe! The game is Galaxy Burger, you will have to cook burgers, fry fries, make drinks for robo-kittens, Venusians and other aliens from our galaxy. You can play with friends or alone. We promise lots of fun!

[h2]P.S.[/h2]
Write your reviews and impressions about these games. What do you think of Galaxy Burger, what do you think of Galaxy Pass Station? Suggest your ideas!

Hi everyone, we have added many more interesting things related to robots and criminals on the station. We made it more interesting to search for criminals around the station.

Our game will participate in the Robots vs. Dinosaurs Festival on February 26. By the way, did you know that our game also has dinosaurs? Only skeletons though...

In honor of this festival, we've added some interesting robot-related events to the game.



[h2]Improvements and innovations[/h2]

• Added a new "Robot Strike" event that can happen on the morning of any day.
  
• Added the ability to unseal any persona that is placed in an isolation booth.
  
• Persons who complained about their mood before checking their IDs will now remember that you did not check their IDs for them.
  
• Visitors can now leave bad feedback if the player ignores their mood and requests when checking IDs.
  
• Now some criminals can hide their crimes (crime notifications will not appear).
  
• Criminals can now be wanted without their photo information.
  
• Now even less information is known about some criminals.
  
• Removed a nasty effect of sounds when moving the camera. It was a Doppler effect, where sounds briefly changed frequency.
  
• Fixed: When moving a lockup booth, if there was an arrested person inside, they would be released.
  
• Fixed: it is now impossible to remove or disable an isolation booth if there is an arrested person inside.
  

This is a small but very important update! It can greatly improve your experience when playing Galaxy Pass Station for a long time. I am primarily referring to the generation of morning events, as well as the balance related to the number of visitors in the later stages.

[h2]Changes and Balance[/h2]

• Fixed: In the late stages (after about 20-30 game days), the probability of many events was tending to zero, causing them to occur very rarely. This led to players often seeing the same not-very-interesting morning events, which made the game become a chore.
  
• Beautiful and Beautiful 2x (visitors) now increase the beauty of the room they are in by 2-3 times less. Due to the high values, this caused imbalance and sometimes too sudden a spike in the number of visitors.
  
• Hotels, bureaucratic desks, and a number of other items are now much less likely to attract new visitors. These items are meant to cope with high visitor flows and have spawned even more visitors, which doesn't really make sense.
  
• The massage chair can now be turned off and on like some other items.
  
• Garbage and other waste, now spoil the beauty of the room, respectively more reduce the flow of visitors to the station.
  
• Increased by 3-4 times the time of availability of flights on the board of flights, so that the player can accept new visitors to the station at any time, so that they always have a choice.
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• The bad ending did not work in all cases we designed. If a player had all civilization ratings less than zero, the bad ending did not occur. This ending only occurred if at least one of the ratings was more than zero. Now it's fixed.
  
• Fixed the tooltip text for currently researched technologies - the text about lack of resources was shown.
  

Hi everyone, we're back online and we're starting to slowly resume support for the game.

What have we done new?.
Sorry if the screenshots are not in your language, it's just very painful and difficult to prepare screenshots in all languages at once.

[h2]1. We have finalized the feedback system.[/h2]

- If you hover over the station rating indicator, the tooltip will show the last three reviews and the main reason why most reviews are left.


- If you hover over the human civilization rating indicators, you'll see in the tooltip the last review that influenced that rating.


- There's a lot of new stuff in the review box. We've added a button with which you can find the author of the review if it hasn't already left the station. And most importantly! We've added a reason for the review, this explanatory text will help you better understand what exactly happened.


- In the visitor's dashboard-inspector at the station, the Activity tab now displays the visitor's last feedback to the station, if they left any. Moreover, we have corrected and improved the tooltips about what the visitor is doing and wants to do at the moment.


- The tooltip that shows up when you hover over a visitor also shows their most recent review and clearer explanatory text about what the visitor is doing and where they are going, down to the specific item.


[h2]2. Station rankings now count for the last 7 days.[/h2]
Isn't it frustrating when you can't do anything about a station's rating after you've been piled low? So here we thought that the player has almost no way to influence this and change the rating for the better.

The station rating will now be calculated as an average of the reviews left in the last 7 days. This will allow you to improve the station and its rating by your actions, because very old reviews will not be taken into account, and new ones will greatly affect the rating.



[h2]3. New tooltips in the technology tree.[/h2]
We have added information that technology cannot be researched due to a lack of resources. These two hints will save you from unnecessary actions when working with the tree of technologies, you will not have to click on the button and you will understand faster what technologies you can explore at the moment. The lack of such hints annoys many players.


[h2]4. Automatic naming of rooms[/h2]
Agree that it is very difficult to navigate where exactly something is located because the names of the rooms are all the same. We have come up with what we think is a great solution to this problem:

All rooms, if they are not named by the player, will generate a unique name thanks to a suffix system. The system is very simple: "Name of room type" + alphabet letter + offset digit + letter that means left or right sector. And you get something like this:

• Large Room A2-R (where A means the first level - like the first letter in the alphabet, and 2 is an offset of 2 squares, and R is the right side of the station from the center).
  

Examples of where this is now used:









For the last few days, we've been thinking about how to make the game even more interesting, so that we can play it for hundreds of hours. Very probably, we will share our ideas and plans with you soon, as well as conduct some kind of poll on the topic "What would you like to see in the game globally new?".

[h2]Little secret[/h2]
We are also preparing a very secret announcement of some project that is strongly related to Galaxy Pass Station. I hope and strongly believe that we will announce it in March or April this year.
