Hey Astro Colonists!

The game was released last month and development continues!
I am happy about all feedback you gave me and how the game is well received!
Also, I am impressed what players can create in the game spending hundreds of hours!

To celebrate it I would love to invite you to the third development stream.
I want to show your creations and also play multiplayer together with my wife
Please share your savegames if you would like me to present your work!

[h2]Stream starts at 20CET (8PM)[/h2]

Hey Colonizers!

Some small changes from today. Mostly bug fixes.

[h2]SINGLE PLAYER BUGFIXES[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where picker was picking resources and let you duplicate them
  
• Fixed an issue where picker was picking bots and astronauts and let you duplicate them
  
• Fixed an issue where undocking harpoon connector would produce 5 electricity
  
• Fixed an issue where drones can get into an endless nudge loop causing a crash
  
• Advanced conveyor belts look improved

[h2]MULTIPLAYER BUGFIXES[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where missing player data would not teleport him closer to the host
  
• Fixed an issue where the game cannot be loaded due to missions data sent
  
• Fixed an issue where early rebase world origin would teleport a planet

Multiplayer is in a good spot. I am trying to reproduce the last remaining bug with swapping items.
Hope I can make progress there!

Hey Colonizers!

Another update is here, with some interesting QOL systems.

[h2]Docking can now transfer electricity[/h2]



I know many of you tried this in the past, and it wasn't possible.
Right now, docking stations will power other docking stations if they are connected to an electricity source!

[h2]Middle click to pick item[/h2]



This improvement speeds up construction and allow for precise station modifications.
For example, you don't have to find the exact floor tile in the construction menu, you can just press the middle mouse button on an existing one in the world!

[h2]Cancellation with right click[/h2]


I know players are somehow used to right click cancel action. This is now also part of the game.
You can use Q or Right click to cancel an action :)

List of changes:
[h2]QOL[/h2]

• Picker Tool - Middle mouse button now picks pointed element (device, floor)
  
• Cosmic Harpoon Energy - harpoon connector can now transmit energy to the planetoid
  
• Pressing Right mouse button switches to empty hand

[h2]MULTIPLAYER[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where loading client had no gravity when starting - had to reset the jetpack
  
• Fixed an issue where client camera is wrong for controlled flying vehicle
  
• Fixed an issue where client looks tilted on client when unpossessing vehicle

See you next time!
