Space Haven - Update and Finest Showcase Event.

[p][/p][h3]Greetings, Spacefarers![/h3][p][/p][p]Space Haven is preparing for a Full Release in 2026. The exact date will be announced in the near future. With this goal in mind we have already made multiple smaller updates this year, and will continue on that path up until the Full Release.[/p][p][/p][p]We will keep updating with various Improvements, Quality of Life updates, and new features and content we still want available for the full release. The updates up until the Full Release will be named Release Candidate (RC) updates.[/p][p][/p][h3]Release Candidate 2 Update Patch Notes[/h3][p][/p][h3]Improved Logistics - Multi-Box Carry[/h3][p]Crew member and logistics bots will now be able to carry more than 1 crates.[/p][p][/p][p]We've worked on the logistics system and implemented support for a so called multi-box (crate) carry feature. The current range is between 1 to 3 crates. Logistics bot are now also able to haul 3 crates at a time. The Salvage Bot stays at 1 crate.[/p][p][/p][p]Not all crew members will be able to carry more than 1 crate. The carry capacity depends on their stats, with the zest value increasing the capacity. Additionally some traits give an additional carry capacity. Some conditions, like post-surgery conditions will temporarily decrease the carry capacity.[/p][p][/p][h3]Improved Logistics AI[/h3][p]Crew members can now sometimes pick up stuff on the way if they the see an opportunity for it.[/p][p][/p][p]Crew members and logistic bots are now able to be a little more effective at checking whether they can pick up another crate on their way to their destination, already holding a crate or two. Note that this won't happen every time, but they will sometimes be able to evaluate and pick up an additional box on their path.[/p][p][/p][h3]Improved Shuttle - Max Resource Capacity 20[/h3][p]The shuttle is now capable of loading 20 resource crates into its storage for transportation.[/p][p][/p][p]We've increased the resource storage capacity of shuttle from 10 to 20. This will enable the shuttles to be more effective when transporting resources between ships or stations.[/p][p][/p][h3]Improved Trading - Trade 20 Items At a Time[/h3][p]Trades can now be done with 20 resources items at a time instead of 10.[/p][p][/p][p]We've increased the maximum items per trade from 10 to 20. This will help make trades be carried out more smoothly and allow for less consecutive trades needed for larger resource amounts.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Let us know if you find any issues here in comments or on our discussion forums:[/p][p]https://steamcommunity.com/app/979110/discussions/4/[/p][p][/p][p]While game crash reports are sent to us we usually need a saved game to test the issue and so if you have a crash situation in your game let us know!
