If you find something I missed or should definitely add as a new feature let me know on the development forum http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ssabeta Changelog 1.02 - 6th March 2015 New/Improved Features - Code is much more efficient, larger stations should now be possible without dramatic slowdown. In testing I could build out a whole single level with 90 workers/visitors running around before I had to drop the speed from >>> to >>. New walls/floors still cause a short stutter when placed if your station is quite big, I'm working on that one for 1.03. - You can now click on bots to get their names and even tell them to explode, I'm going to add more to this later. - Placing indicator now changes colour, if you hover over something that is under construction it'll change to yellow, this means clicking will speed construction. Red means you can't build there, green means you can. So Green = go, Red = stop and Yellow = go faster. - Building along the edge of the map is now handled a LOT better, your cursor can now happily go outside the bounds but will show red and not allow any construction. The old way just didn't let your cursor go out and it was a bit weird. - Visitors now arrive more hungry and tired than before so they're more likely to make use of your facilities straight away. Bug Fixes - Large bases no longer crash load. - "Skip Tutorial" button no longer appears during some later, individual tutorials. - "Placing Deck" tooltip no longer shown while placing doors. - Beds now disappear properly from rooms when their owners left the station due to evacuation.
