First Look at Locally Manufactured Space Base Module in Release 1.6

Release 1.6, currently in development, revolutionizes in-situ manufacturing by utilizing recycled materials from disposable lander modules and metallic asteroids. These materials are smelted, machined, and assembled using basic tools to create functional devices.

Given the limitations of crude metallurgy, the resulting parts won't match modern aerospace standards. Instead, they'll evoke 19th-century metalwork with large rivets and irregular surfaces.

Despite these aesthetic differences, the new in-situ manufactured space base module in Release 1.6 offers a reliable level of security, being five times heavier than those manufactured on Earth. This module is designed to support hydroponics plantations, and plans for a locally-made solar panel support are also underway.
