Changes

  • Added "Zombie Disease". Colonists infected are bald (so that you never trust bald people). Zombies will not instigate fights against any colonist with a zombie infection (they'll still defend themselves if attacked. ZLM).

  • Added "Slime Disease". Colonists infected become gingers and poop out goo. The "Upset Stomach" perk no longer goes away automatically. Purple Slimes won't instigate fights against colonists with a slime infection.

  • Added "Cuddler Disease". Colonists infected become Albino. Cuddlers won't instigate fights againts colonists with a cuddler infection.

  • Added a cheat to unlock all core eyes and bodies.

  • Added "Bioshroom", a starting crop that creates biomass (yummy).

  • Crops now require lights (any lights) to grow (bioshroom doesn't require lights).

  • Crops now have better statuses when they lack atmosphere, seeds, etc.

  • Added a "Crop Checklist" UI on crops. It shows the required items and atmosphere.

  • Added "Loadout" UI to colonists. Assign items to them and they'll automatically find and store them during free-time. Assign relics, food, medkits, etc.

  • Added jetpacks. Colonists, Electro Jelly, and all bots can fly. Death to walkways.

  • Added Goolerium Tank.

  • Purple Mushroom infection now causes vomitting. Anytime a colonist vomits while infected, they'll spawn a new Purple Mushroom in their vomit (fun).

  • Purple Mushrooms can now be marked for harvest (colonist assigned the farmer task will harvest them).

  • Fixed misc crashes.

What's Next

  • Random Starting Stations

  • Harpoonable Space Whales

  • Traders
