I’m excited to announce the start of development on Patch 0.9.0! In this update, I’ve taken into account players’ feedback and issues, and I’ve come up with ways to make the game even better. It will follow Patch 0.8.5, which will focus on fixing existing bugs.

Strategic Pacts and Objectives

Inspired by tabletop games and recent strategies like Dune and Against the Storm, I’ve developed the mechanics of Pacts and Objectives. These are powerful abilities that can dramatically change the course of the game!

Pacts, objectives, and their slots will be unlockable through the abilities tree. A pact slot will require a LONG cooldown but deliver a POWERFUL effect, which can be either passive or active. An objective slot will require specific conditions to activate and recharge.

For example, you can drastically reduce the threat of ship attacks, but at the cost of bonuses to your economy, factories, engineers, or research speed!

Economic Events and Engineer Resignations

Currently, economic events and engineer resignations often happen in the background, with little player involvement.

In the new version, I plan to give players more control and options. Each event will come with multiple crisis management decisions. You’ll also gain an overview of colonists planning to leave and be able to persuade them to stay by offering counter-proposals.

Money and Global/Orbital Abilities

Engineers will generate income through taxes. This money can be spent on orbital strikes, support ships, supplies, summoning trade ships, and more.

I can’t wait to share this update with you in December!

I hope it all comes together just as I imagine!
