Deep Space Outpost News

You now have the option to have the game text in French or Spanish! ːsteamhappyː

I won't update the Steam page to say i've got those languages supported just yet, as i want to:-

• Check i haven't missed any text.
  
• Make sure translations make sense where i'm using them. May need some variants.
  
• No graphical issues (text doesn't overlap or not fitting windows).
  
• Update the demo.
  

Cheers, Nick

Another little roundup of optimisations for the weekend. Mainly issues with very large space stations.

• Improve: MMB hold for drag camera should be quicker
  
• Improve: No power indicator on items caused fps slow down.
  
• Improve: Droid job check reduce checks on lower power, none on zero power.
  
• Improve: User repair check, do quick range test before lookups
  
• Improve: Reduce next to destination checks on user repair.
  

Happy weekend all, just a quick little update fixing a few bugs and improving performance. Not quite there with translations i'm working on, but thought an update was due as a few issues highlighted in last couple days.

• Improve: Droid job checking, reduce lookup freq (user and routine repairs).
  
• Improve: Routine repair checks, delay path lookups.
  
• Improve: Airlock internal o2 testing reduce lookup freq.
  
• Fix: Docking connectors not classified as external in some checks (could make floors internal and buildable on).
  
• Fix: Pirate target switching check target exists.
  
• Fix: Damage item process. Check target exists for leak storage, fx, fire and nearby damage checks.

Now have High Score tables for all the different scenarios ːsteamhappyː

Once a scenario is completed, the end stats screen will give you an option to enter your name if you've made the top ten for that scenario. Viewing the high score table gives you the option to replay the same seed, so you can replay the same game and try and beat your previous score.

Note - when additional events are added, scores will have to be wiped as seeds will generate different levels. Although i do keep version info with each score, so could show previous (but note it's from old).

Full notes:-

• High score tables added. New high score save file.
  
• Improve: MMB check, no need to reset cursor every step.
  
• Fix: Stats screen layout at lower resolution, text out of panel.
  
• Fix: Pause menu - load game button not reset on click.
  
• Fix: Stop all game audio on win game condition (game paused).

We now have the new docking connector structure to help you build your station. This is a cheaper wall like item, that you can use to expand the outside of your station. You can attach turrets, solar connector and walls to it. But the main use will be for ships to dock at and use you facilities (repair bay next up).

Also note have split off a couple of productions items into new services category.

Full changes:-

• New docking connector structure. Help updated.
  
• Life support and droid maintenance moved to new Services build menu.
  
• New docking overlay added.
  
• Fix: Main menu scenario message missing.
  
• Fix: HUD alignment in builder mode.
  
• Fix: Load game, button wasn't been reset on select.
