Crafting to the infinitive

Hi, space explorers,

This update took longer because we’ve been developing a new key mechanic: Crafting. It will first be applied to the closed beta build.

Crafting:

I wanted to make crafting exploratory. You can create meals by mixing different ingredients: proteins, carbs, and vitamins. Every time you create a new recipe, you learn it and can browse it later. You can find crafting stations near statues or houses on planets.

Here are more polishing changes that come with it:

• Inventory items can now have random prices when not found.

• Food stations can now be found in houses and near statues.

• Random loot is now available in outdoor boxes.

• Food stations can also be found in space stations.

• Exploding barrels are now visible.

• Wall elevation is no longer uniform; increased weight for the center tile.

• Some trees are no longer transparent when moving away from them.

• Added more food, including complete meals, to recipes.

• Added new food and description types for each ingredient. Apples no longer provide hunger.
