Performance, Polish and New Upgrades
This update (v 0.1) has been all about improving performance, adding polish, building out the 3rd tier of the tech tree (full version) and of course getting ready for releasing Deep Space Directive into early access!
The all new auto-trader can be unlocked in the 3rd tier of the tech tree - think of it as an assistant to help keep the credits flowing. Plus new special projects bring more progression to the DSD story and timeline!
This build also brings with it all new voice over rendering! It’s been the most requested feature so far. It’s still not perfect, but much of the robotic-ness of the voices is gone and replaced with smoother and more natural sounding voices.
The performance and quality of life improvements will be in demo and non-demo builds of DSD. Additional content is only accessible in the full-version.

[h2]New Features[/h2]
- 3rd tier of the tech tree! New buildings and new resource production chains.

- New resource “TerraFlux” has been added. Provide another use for excess terrene.
[h2]QOL[/h2]
