addedThe Akashgami rocket is now available for Martian operations, enabling small refueling missions and adding new flexibility to your interplanetary logistics network.
changedWater & ElectrolysisWater mining has been reworked to better reflect Martian conditions. With subsurface ice present across much of the planet, water extraction becomes a key pillar of your expansion strategy.
addedWater & ElectrolysisWater can now be processed using a brand-new Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis unit , complete with dedicated vent pipes for hydrogen and oxygen handling.
changedWater & ElectrolysisThe produced hydrogen and oxygen can be stored in pressurized tanks. To make this possible, Release 1.7 introduces a 3-stage gas compressor capable of compressing gases up to 50 bar. Compression is essential to store meaningful quantities of gas in a limited volume — and to prepare propellant for future missions.
addedFrom Regolith to SteelIt can now be used to reduce iron oxides found in Martian regolith, providing a virtually unlimited source of iron for local manufacturing.
addedFrom Regolith to SteelA small-scale steel furnace has been added, allowing you to turn locally produced iron into steel. Steel can then be used to expand your base using crude manufacturing — taking another step toward true Martian self-sufficiency.

From Regolith to Steel
Hydrogen is not just fuel.
It can now be used to reduce iron oxides found in Martian regolith, providing a virtually unlimited source of iron for local manufacturing.
A small-scale steel furnace has been added, allowing you to turn locally produced iron into steel. Steel can then be used to expand your base using crude manufacturing — taking another step toward true Martian self-sufficiency.
New Interface Languages
Release 1.7 also expands accessibility. The interface is now available in:
German
Spanish
Portuguese
Polish
Chinese
Outer Space Shack is steadily becoming playable in more native languages — and this is only the beginning.
Mars is no longer just a destination. It’s becoming an industrial frontier.
