Star Explorers Testing Branch Updated to Pre-Release Version 0.4.2

[h3]Mining Stations[/h3]
  • Planets where the player has found Acknexium crystals will now be updated with a small mining station.
  • This station will have a small complement of human miners.
  • Humans are interactive, and can trade or offer quests, just like friendly aliens.


A small mining station is visible in the distance on this volcanic world.


Acknexium production is at 80% sir!


[h3]About the Testing Branch[/h3]
  • The testing branch is where I am preparing the next big update for Star Explorers
  • Version 5.0 should be ready this Fall
  • There are already a ton of new features and improvements, but I want to make sure everything is working really smoothly before updating the main branch of the game
  • The game will require a restart if you are moving from the default to the testing branch
  • Future changes could also require another restart, that's why I want to avoid updating the main branch before everything is thoroughly tested
  • If you're interested in the testing branch, you can get the password on discord: https://discord.gg/vTxpb8Z
  • You will also be able to have interesting discussions with other players, and me, the developer
  • You may even see some behind the scenes development stuff, like this crazy scenario that occurred while trying to get the mining stations to work...


  • Or these guys...
