The primary focus of this iteration was the development of the new Thermal System. Additionally, several old interior items in the factory have been replaced with brand new models. Furthermore, numerous playtesters contributed to this iteration by identifying bugs and enhancing the tutorial.


While one might assume that space is cold and constant heating is necessary, the actual challenge lies in managing heat. In space, where there is very little matter, heat cannot be transferred to the surroundings like it can on Earth. Instead, your vessel is heated by the sun, as well as the heat generated by humans and electrical devices.

In this iteration, we have introduced the General Thermal Architecture of the ISS, consisting of two layers connected by a cooling pipe, into the game. Each ship section has its own temperature, and the environment system aims to maintain it at an ideal 22 degrees Celsius for human comfort.




The first layer serves as heat collectors, responsible for gathering heat from the rooms. To achieve this, you can construct Cool Panels that utilize internal Peltier technology. These panels do not require external power and efficiently transfer the heat from the Ship Section to the Cooling Pipes.



Additionally, a Stirling engine has been introduced, which can extract energy from the heat. However, it necessitates frequent maintenance.





The second layer consists of large radiators that extend into space. These radiators effectively dissipate the heat from the cooling pipes into space. To prevent overheating, they are positioned 90° away from the sun.




Another significant gameplay change involves the introduction of specialized slots. In order to construct or maintain rooms and interior items, each person now requires an equipped Construction Slot. The person must then gather and place tools into the slot to use during their work. As the person works, the quality of the tools gradually diminishes, and when it reaches zero, they are converted into Garbage Iron, which can be recycled.




Furthermore, several new effects have been incorporated into the game. One notable addition is the representation of air leaks, which are now visually displayed on the exterior of modules.



Additionally, doors can now be opened to the vastness of space. There is a force open mode available, causing the air to rush out. While it serves various emergency purposes, its primary usage will likely be more prominent in upcoming releases, particularly when fire mechanics are introduced.



Another effect modification relates to the rocket engine's flame, which now accurately reflects the corresponding thrust.




Hovering over objects in the scene now displays a helpful summary of their details. Similar to other tooltips, you can fix them in place using the middle mouse key and interact with them, such as turning them on/off or accessing additional information.




Thanks to a suggestion from the community (special thanks to Revolus), an alert feature has been added to notify you when something is completed. This feature operates similarly to the Arrived Supply Ship Notification and can be activated for rooms and interior items. It pauses any running timewarps and displays a notification in the upper right corner, allowing for easy selection of the completed room or item.




Global resources now have their own history, providing a comprehensive overview of, for example, food or oxygen consumption. This feature offers a better understanding of resource management throughout the entire ship.




Continuing with the graphic updates, the new Electrolytics machine has been introduced. This machine utilizes electricity to convert water into oxygen and hydrogen.




The Smelting process has also received a visual upgrade, featuring a new model. This machine can transform garbage metal into new plain steel.




Introducing the Purification Plant, another new model in the game. This plant serves as the primary recycling machine for water, purifying garbage water into biomass and clean water.




The Sabatier machine has been updated as well. Using the Sabatier process, you can now create methane by combining hydrogen and CO2, offering an effective way to recycle CO2.




To enhance UI interactions and make them faster, I have improved the chooser buttons. You can now use them with a single click by holding down the mouse button. This functionality is similar to PiMenus.




Throughout this iteration, additional playtesters were invited to try out the game, resulting in minor releases. These valuable playtesting sessions have allowed for further improvements to the tutorials. A big thank you to all participants! The tester queue has now been cleared, but if you are interested in participating in a playtest, please join our Discord community.

The main focus of this update is to improve the Air Systems and overall polishing. Along with numerous smaller bug fixes, several UI elements have undergone significant improvements. We are also pleased to welcome Mark, a new employee responsible for Pictures and Marketing. Additionally, we have overhauled the Steam Page and created a new fancy logo!


The primary change in this iteration pertains to the ship values. Through experimentation, I discovered that the atmosphere within the ship behaves differently from reality. As a result, I have made adjustments in the game to account for this. The focus now lies on partial pressure, meaning that it doesn't matter if the atmosphere is 100% filled with oxygen as long as it's at 0.21 bar. Consequently, nitrogen is not as crucial as previously thought and will serve a different purpose in future iterations.




Gravity has undergone a significant rework and now features the same attributes as other resources. This includes displaying the interior items that influence gravity, a comprehensive history, and more. The calculations have also been adjusted to reflect a more realistic approach with rotational energy. This means that the thrusters need to be adjusted when mass is attached to or detached from the ship.




The doors now have an additional state. They can be open, closed, and sealed. The closed state allows individuals to walk through, but it stops the airflow. Essentially, closed doors act as airlocks.




You can now get an overview of all sections by hovering over the section name and reading the tooltip. Additionally, it is now possible to select the section. Currently, only basic features are available, but more will be added in future updates.




To address a problem where new players were unable to see the reasons for disabled tasks, tooltips can now be kept open by clicking with the middle mouse button. This provides an opportunity to solve the issue. Special thanks to grantedthree for reporting this problem.




The Resource Tooltip Bars have received a complete makeover. They now have a unified style and are easier to use. Critical fill states, such as air values, are now indicated by markers. The markers also display the time to the next critical point.




To make balancing the ship in the late game easier, I have added a new Mass Balancer that functions similarly to the previous one. This new feature allows for the redistribution of mass away from the ship.




In addition to the existing "Every n Minutes" autosave option, a new Game Time-based autosave has been introduced. This can be configured in the options menu and will create a savegame by default every 7 days of in-game time. Special thanks to Bluesky-wr for reporting this. Furthermore, more metadata and a small screenshot have been included in the savegame to facilitate easier identification.




The Mass now also includes a history feature, making it easier to track the magnitude of ship leaks.




As part of the ongoing updates to old models, I have created a brand new Soil Machine. Like before, it uses Bio Garbage, CO2, H2, and energy to produce Prepared Earth, which can be used for growing plants later on.

This iteration focuses on improving the experience of individuals in the game. Along with some updated visuals for the crew, I have also enhanced the history system for each person. Additionally, the created statistic system can be easily extended to other uses, which I will show you below. Furthermore, there has been a significant update to the underlying framework, resulting in better graphics and improved performance.



A general history system has been added to the game that can store changes in the simulation. It has been integrated deep into the core of the game, designed to be efficient and save memory. This system has been implemented in several parts of the game, including:

[h2]Resource Charts[/h2]

Each resource container now has its own history chart, showing the value over time, as well as increases and decreases over time. This makes it easier to track the status of resources in the game.



[h2]Ship Systems[/h2]

The history system also works for ship and air systems such as energy, humidity, oxygen, and more.



[h2]Productivity[/h2]

The new system now monitors the productivity of interior items, allowing you to see a graph of the item's usage in the details panel. Clicking on it will expand it.



[h2]Person Activity[/h2]

The old history system for individuals has been replaced. While it no longer shows what kind of activity a person was doing at a specific time, it provides a good overview of the different aspects of a person. Additionally, you can now get a statistic for a week or month.




A new animation has been added to the game: the bath door.




The Person system has been enhanced with bug fixes, performance improvements, and better rendering quality. Specifically, I added LOD (Level of Detail) levels and other generator improvements, which means that person models will now switch depending on how far the camera is away from them, resulting in a better performance with only 10% of the vertices being handled by the GPU.




In addition to bug fixes, I have also added many new clothes, haircuts, beards, and more to the Person system, as well as improved the rendering quality.




The main reason for these changes was to add backpacks to the game, making it visible when a person is carrying something.




To test and debug the new systems, I have created a Person Customizer Tool that works directly in the game. Although not yet perfectly finished, players can test it by enabling cheats and right-clicking on the person icon.




Consultants in the game, who raise quests and show things to the player, are now animated persons that move their lips to the voice.




The UI of the consultants has been converted into speech bubbles next to the element avatars, providing more space in the lower right corner. I plan to add some person-related features here to make them more easily accessible.




Each Person now has its own nation in the game. I have also added more random names, depending on the selection and the number of names in that speech region. Although I did not add it for all ~250 Nations, the game will pick random names from a similar region to get as close as possible. It is easy to add more names, and players can contribute in the Discord.




In the Storyline, nations have joined together to form larger countries. I used real data for all of the nations and tried to group them together from different perspectives and balance their GDP. Although not perfect, this is a start, and I plan to add a starting screen where players can choose this and get persons mostly from the nations of this organization in the future.


As a result of these changes, Nations and Profile pictures are now visible in the supply popup with a nicer style.




The pathfinding algorithm has been improved, resulting in more direct routes for crew members.




After a long process, the fourth attempt to update to the new Unity and Entities package was finally successful. The update comes with a brand new rendering pipeline and more features to come in future updates.


To show appreciation to the community, contributors have been added to the Credits Window in the MainMenu. If they've configured an Avatar, they will also spawn in the game as crew members.

• Fixed Unit for Energy
  
• Added Persons LOD levels to improve Performance for large ships
  
• Persons not created with underwear.
  
• Added Progress bar to Tutorial Achievement
  
• Sending more debugging in Crash Log
  
• Added Unity RichText support to I18n Elements (more next iteration)
  
• Improved InGame Tooltips are not over the mainmenu anymore
  
• Improved Error reports and Feedbacks sending to the server for better debugging
  
• Popups also closing with rightclick
  
• Improvements to Translation Editor
  
• Added caching to persons animation creation
  
• Added caching to persons avatar pictures

There have been some significant changes in the game. The shuttlebay has made a return with an upgraded version, and the Planning and Blueprint system has undergone a significant overhaul. Additionally, Interior Items now have a pi menu for more straightforward connection of storages or resource transfer. On top of that, there are numerous other fixes and improvements that you will notice.



The shuttlebay has made a comeback with an updated version that now utilizes the new interior item system and features new graphics. Personnel now fill up the necessary resources for the shuttlebay, similar to other interior items.




The Missions have undergone a significant revamp with updated models and new locations that offer different resources to gather. It's now possible to add story events to the Missions, such as collecting old or spying satellites, or mining abandoned generation ships.




The Mission system has also been improved. The duration and number of crew members can now be adjusted. There's also a Repeat Mission feature that allows players to make gathering resources a routine activity, such as flying to the moon.




The mission places can be upgraded to enable faster resource gathering, though this requires additional resources and time. Different locations have varying levels of upgrades, allowing players to maximize their efficiency. The developer may also add new shuttles in the future. When a shuttle is on a Mission, players can see the resources increase and decrease when the shuttlebay is selected.




In earlier versions, players had to drop numerous buildings without the aid of interior items or room configurations. This aspect of the game has become obsolete and has been simplified. Players can now directly place rooms.




The Blueprint system has also been simplified. Instead of associating each room with a blueprint to hide the button, players are now prompted to name their blueprint via a pop-up. If a blueprint already exists, players will be notified and given the option to overwrite it.




To simplify the process, a clone feature has been added. Players can now plan an identical building again with a single button press, including all its interior items and configuration.




Previously, players could only configure a room after it was finished. To make this more convenient, players can now see inside of unfinished rooms and select the unfinished interior items inside. They can also add and remove interior items inside of them.




The Interior Items now feature a Pi Menu that makes it faster and easier to connect storage or send resource boxes. This menu also works for Rooms under Construction, allowing resources to be sent out.




All Selection and most Tooltips now have an aligned layout and have been restructured. New Tooltips have also been added, such as the Person Activity Tooltip, making it easier to understand the different parts of the icon.

One big thing this iteration was to adapt the overlays to the new gameplay and improve them to the next level. I changed these overlays in different places, to gain more overview of what's going on and where the resources are.


When hovering over the Resource Overview Items below, it shows not only the connections for that resource Type as before, it also shows all resources the people have or interior items that consume, produce or store this resource.




When having a storage selected, it will now better display the connected storages, by showing animated lines with the resource types that can be transferred. It now respects the new filter on the connection and on the target storage.




When having a storage selected, it will now better show the connected storages, by showing animated lines with the resourcetypes that can be transferred. It now respects the new filter on the connection and on the target storage.
To have an overview about the possible input or output storages, it now also displays all storages with potential problems, why the crew can’t transfer them. For example, here is one of the storage empty, the others in the crew room are not accessible because of the configuration.




The last overlay I want to present to you is for the Air-values. Hovering over the Air values at the bottom side of the screen now also shows an overlay which displays where the consumers and emitters are.




The CO2 Scrubbers got a complete remake to fit the new graphic style.




The Dehumidifiers Models are now also updated to the new graphic style, hope you like it :)




A new Interior Item has been added, the Garbage Disposal. It can be used as a normal Storage Connection or as a target for the Empty Transport slot, like regular storages.




More and more people from the community want to help translate the game to different languages. The game already supports directly adding or changing live the translation json files, but to make it even more convenient I migrated my tool to the game itself. It can be found at the language chooser.



It will show the outdated text parts and show the current English and current language to translate. It also has an auto-translate button, that uses the google translate api, to have a first suggestion. Above it has some filters and a search field to find things faster that need to be changed.



To make it easy to translate special things in the UI, it’s also possible to open the specific Text with AltGr + MouseClick.


To respect the new multi-filter storages, I adapted the Overlay, to see more icons at the same time. Its now zoom based, so zoom closer will show more resource icons.

• Fixed ResourceBoxes could be transferred to Dock
  
• Fixed warnings when dismantle Mass Balancer
  
• Fixed not all water was transferred out from the Mass storage on Dismantle
  
• Fixed not requesting boxes for resource waiting building lot when door is finished
  
• Prevent Walk Activity to not finished rooms
  
• Improved visualizing paths to support more connections and show nicer less connections
