Update #3: share ships with your friends!

Hi folks! Update #3 is now live with some new features that we’re really excited about!

Ship Sharing

You can now save your favorite ship designs, give them a name, and share them with your friends using THE POWER OF THE INTERNET! Shared ships can be used in Sandbox Mode. More details below on how to share ships!

Sandbox Cheats

You can now access various cheats in Sandbox Mode, such as invincibility, AI level controls, and my personal favorite: RANDOM REBUILD! Here it is in action: Press “TAB” when in Sandbox Mode to access the cheats menu.

Tweaks to game difficulty

We’re tweaked a bunch of stuff that affects difficulty, mostly to do with how enemies spawn. The game is now a little easier and more “fair” but getting to Pluto should still present a massive challenge.

New Krusaders!

Two new mutant animals have joined Kevin’s Krusaders. One of them loves to eat cheese, the other one loves to make cheese. Can you guess what they are? Keep an eye out for them on your adventures!

A prettier end to the game!

The payoff for getting to Pluto and destroying a Peacemaker is a little more explosive now. We’re still working on the game’s finale, and this is the first step. Here’s a sneak-peak of what you’ll get to see if you make it to Pluto!

Bug Fixes!

As usual, there are tons of bug fixes, including many fixes that were requested on the forums. If you run into new bugs, please let us know! That covers it for Update #3! As always, if you’ve got feedback we’d love to hear it on the forums. Read on for instructions on how to share ships with your friends. Happy ship sharing! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detailed instructions: How to share ships with your friends

Sharing ships with your friends is really simple. Your saved ships are all accessible in Sandbox Mode, which is listed on the Main Menu: In Sandbox Mode, you can browse your recently-built ships. If you want to permanently save a ship as a “favorite,” just click the “favorite” button. To view your favorite ships, click the “favorites” button at the top of the screen. You can share these ships with your friends. Just click either the folder or file name to show your Favorites folder: This’ll open up the folder where all of your favorite ships are kept. Each ship has its own .CFS file. The currently-selected ship’s file will be highlighted, making it really easy to copy-paste it for sharing with your friends via the method of your choice (email, Dropbox, etc.). If you want to play with a ship shared by a friend, simply copy their shared .CFS file into this folder. Their ship will appear automatically when you start the game (under “Favorites” in the Sandbox). This is the first version of this feature, and we hope to make ship sharing even simpler in future updates. There are a couple of issues to be aware of: 1) In the previous update (#2), we allowed you to name a ship in order to save it. Any ship you’ve named in the old version will need to be favorited if you want to hang on to it. 2) Clicking the folder or file name to show the Favorites folder only works on Windows
