addedAnd many other new features...Tens of new Steam achievements, reworked colony levels and others we already talked about in previous dev blogs like disasters , health etc.
addedWe wanted to talk also about development times:2.9 patch has took a while since we wanted to introduce the Health system with it, which is already big by itself. However, to make it substantial, it required the Disaster system as well, which at the same time, required Technology; so this new patch really took its time. After 2.9 patch we are really close to beta3 and the final release.

We introduce five new buildings, becoming available all the entertainment sources for the colony. Gather vestiges to improve your knowledge from the 21st Century to unlock them! A new set of automatic buildings are going to be available and they will: •support other buildings. •optimize your valuable platform's space. •help you out with some needs of your colony. •not require colonists to work inside.

Technology

Based in a tech-tree system, involves technologies from the four productive sectors and Corporations, plus a special category about knowledge from the 21st Century.

New tutorials

Reworked Market

Prices will be affected now by supply and demand, and special items will be available with a cost in influence.

And many other new features...

Tens of new Steam achievements, reworked colony levels and others we already talked about in previous dev blogs like disasters , health etc.

We wanted to talk also about development times:

2.9 patch has took a while since we wanted to introduce the Health system with it, which is already big by itself. However, to make it substantial, it required the Disaster system as well, which at the same time, required Technology; so this new patch really took its time.
