OXYGEN

Providing oxygen to the astronauts is now mandatory to make them able to live on the colony. Without it, humans will simply lay down on the floor and notify need of assistance.

But no worry! You can share your own oxygen or build the oxygen barrier to rescue them.

Moreover, the barrier will now turn red if not enough oxygen tanks are provided.

COMFORT

As an additional need, it won't punish the player, but rather help to increase efficiency. When the level of comfort is high, all other needs are consumed slower. Now astronauts are checking if there are enough decorations placed nearby.

New decorations

In addition, every decoration can be placed on top of another decoration - like a plant on top of the table or a shelf.

Improvements

As always, every update brings more improvements overall: 1. Hearing many complaints, I decided that the starting hotkey layout has to be reworked, making it more similar to other established games.

  • Q - construction menu

  • Tab - Inventory

  • H - hide hand / selection mode

  1. UI elements got reworked with more round backgrounds and icons.

  1. The interaction panel will appear hovering objects to let players know when unique interaction is possible.

DEMO 4.0

Together with the major update, a new DEMO version is released. It has all QOL improvements alongside with improved UI. If you don't own the FULL GAME yet, check this instead!
