Deep Space Outpost News

Just a quick hotfix for save game issue. I've obviously got my save slots full and overwrite worked, but not a save in to an empty slot. Doh!

Sorry about that peops ːsteamfacepalmː

UI update for the title & pause screens. Should hopefully be a lot clearer, with less chance of confusing players. As previously mentioned, I should be able to add more options easier now (i've started a discussion on that). That's just about it with this update. More actual gameplay additions next up!

• New title/pause menu UI.
  
• Gameplay Options - Edge Screen Scroll.
  
• Fix: Return from station builder, use of help then return to pause menu.

Will get the demo updated over weekend as well hopefully.

Just a few little improvements and fixes.

• Added description on sandbox difficulty selection.
  
• Have reduced ore consumption of refinery. Droids couldnt keep up refilling.
  
• Improvement: Pirate warning message, indication of due attack time.
  
• Improvement: Pirate difficulty added to custom sandbox.
  
• Fix: Droids weren't always getting closest build job (broke in last 2 weeks).
  

Demo also updated.

Hotfix for yesterdays release. One of my optimisations broke initial ship placement in scenarios!

Sorry for that, Nick
