If you mean the rod-like thing, it's aluminum. You can find it on the red planet :) you'll have to look carefully because they're hard to spot.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it and I hope you keep sticking around :)

There's a bug with laptops that uses intel graphics causing things to not render. It sounds like that might be your issue. 

There's no fix yet unfortunately.

There's no limit to how far you can go, but you won't find anything besides the starting planets.

Glad you figured it out! If you need to cheat in resources, you can enable the dev tools in the options menu and press F2 for free building afterward.

Thank you! I'm going to announce the Steam page for the full game next week :)

Wow! Thank you for your well-written feedback. I took note of your suggestions as well.

Thank you for the suggestion

Thank you!! That means a lot

It's on the red planet. The nodes are pretty hard to spot so you'll have to look carefully.

Thank you so much! I took note of your suggestions :)

It's not possible right now due to how the flight controls are handled, but it will be fixed in the upcoming Steam demo.

I don't plan for the demo to support iGPUs at release.

You can use the advanced controls part to directly change thrust while steering.

Hi. I'm still working on the game and aim to release a Steam demo later this year. It will have new graphics & some different content :)

Thanks for the suggestion!

The game is very finicky with the files in the save directory. You can try backing them up, moving them elsewhere, and bringing them back one by one. See if that helps.

I don't have a price yet for the game.

Glad you like the progress updates :) I'll keep posting more as I work on the game.

Thank you for your comment! I'll keep co-op in mind as I keep working on the game :)

I plan to add settings for lower end PCs, but I wouldn't expect a big fps boost.

Is the game running slowly for you all the time or is it only in specific areas or when building a large ship?

Of course! Feel free to share it here or on our Discord afterward :)

Thank you <3 I took note of your suggestions, and some of them I've implemented already! For example, here's a new model I made for the mining laser: https://bsky.app/profile/curiousowldev.bsky.social/post/3lm33f33csk2p

I'm glad to see you joined the Discord, too :)

Thank you for the suggestions!

Thank you <3

Thank you so much! Making the game simple and easy to get into was a big goal I had, and I'm always happy to see when people notice.

Thanks for the encouragement, and I hope you tag along for the rest of development.

Thanks <3 I'm glad you both enjoyed it!

Thank you! Did you end up playing it?

There is only one other planet, so the chances you'll stumble upon it are extremely low hahaha

You can use the tracking computer, star map, or simply look for a little orange dot in the night sky.

I don't know yet.

Thanks for clarifying that! I should do announcements on Itch too to keep you guys in the loop.

The new version will be more demanding on your PC for sure. I'll see if I can add graphical settings to keep it playable for everyone.

Hi! Thanks for your comment <3

I don't plan to update this alpha for the time being, as I'm focused on a Steam page + demo. You can look forward to the demo for different content & visual improvements!

I took note of your suggestion on your other comment for spacesuits/tubes when you're outside in space. Thanks.

I plan to do customizable keybinds. Controllers or hotas might come later, but they're not my focus right now.

Hello! Thanks for the modding suggestion. You can find your save files here:

C:\Users\(YOUR_USER)\AppData\LocalLow\CuriousOwlGames\StellarDrive\saves

Hi :) Thank you for your suggestions! I took note of them.

For giving an item, you can either use the free build cheat with F2 (you have to enable dev tools in the options menu first) or you can edit your save file located in "C:\Users\(YOUR_USER)\AppData\LocalLow\CuriousOwlGames\StellarDrive\saves"

Thanks for the suggestion! The game won't prevent you from having 10 players, but it is not very optimized for that. You might encounter issues like high bandwidth usage and lag.

That's why I recommend sticking to 4 players for now, even if the game has no hard limit.

You can't manually stack items right now. You could drop your item in a chest and then shift + click it to retrieve it. It will automatically try to stack if iirc. 

Mac support is not planned at the moment.

Thank you <3

Thank you for your comment! I'm not prioritizing VR right now, but it might be a possibility in the future. I'll keep that in mind.

I'm currently focused on a Steam version and its demo. You can look forward to those for new content :)
