For the Asteroid color, yes they are generally similar to each other and it does shift (much like the background) In early production we did have asteroids coloured depending on their resource and we found not only did it look bad (think coloured polka dots) but because we have 20 resources it was difficult to tell some of them apart, along with that having to memorize a colour chart wasn't very fun.  So we came up with the scanning system which promoted exploration, which I think works pretty well. Shifting back to a visual method of determining asteroid resource would undermine the scanning system.

I think you do make a solid argument for making blueprints invincible, or maybe just have pirates ignore them. I think that makes a lot of sense and would reduce player frustration. 

Excellent suggestions, thank you again! We will be doing a beta test of the update before the official release if you're interested. I'll let you know when it's available on our beta channel.

Wow, that's a lot of great feedback. Thank you so much for taking the time to write that. We have a big update coming in the near future that will address a lot of those issues (as well as adding more content). You also mention a few things we hadn't thought of which we will look into and see if we can find a solution to. Again we really appreciate this feedback, as we want to make this game the best it can be. Cheers!

Strange, it works okay on our end. If you want you can jump into our discord and we can help you there, if you're willing to give us some system specs.

Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave your feedback, we really appreciate it. We are currently in the process of adding more content and ways to mix up the gameplay and break that tedium (especially in the late game). As for the game save there is an option to import and export saves.  Just go to the in game menu (Esc) and click Export Save.  Then from the main menu option screen click import save to transfer over you save game.

Ah I see, we'll get that fixed.  Thank you!

End game content is definitely on our radar. Buying the DSMC changes the game in a few subtle ways but ultimately it is the end of the game.

We do plan on releasing on steam sometime in the future.  For now our focus is to continue to update and add more features. We're glad you are enjoying the game and appreciate the kind words.

Thanks again for the feedback! We have some adjustments in place to address these issues which will go into the next update.  Cheers!

Thanks for taking the time to comment.  You make some really good points and we'll look into getting it addressed in the next patch

The latest version includes a Hanger to store up to 10 ships. Happy mining!

In the latest version there is an export option in the pause menu when in game and an import in the options menu from the title screen. The game will be stored in your clipboard on export and read from it on import on both platforms.

This is fixed in the latest version!

The bug with outposts is fixed in the latest version and pirates no longer drop ore into space on death. Their wrecks will have more loot now instead.

This is fixed in the latest version. We also reworked shields to be much stronger in the mid-late game (and weaker in the early game). They scale off a % of your hull now rather than flat 250 capacity.

We just released a new version with a fix for this. Let us know if you have any more issues!

The new version just went live. Let us know if you still have issues!

You are correct, we've got a fix going into the next update. Cheers!

Glad you're having a good time. Boosters are a good way to cut down on travel time along with a hardware option mid-late game. We have a fix in the upcoming patch that addresses the destroy/detonate issue you're seeing.

There should be no limit to how far a linked beacon can be however pirate regions will disrupt them.  So you options are to path around them using cloaked beacons (early game research required) or by destroying the pirate beacon and removing the pirate region.

We appreciate you taking the time to comment and report these issues. Cheers!

Thank you for reporting this, we will be addressing it in the next update.

You should be able to buy and sell at an outpost (with an extra service fee). We'll look into this potential bug.  The other thing you can do with outposts is link to nearby depots to auto sell its ore.

No, that's most definitely a bug which we will be addressing in the next update. Cheers!

We can look into this in a future version. Note, we haven't really been testing linux.

Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed it. Let us know if you have anything specific you'd like to see us add.

With our latest update you'll be happy to know that you can now look at the trading post menu at any time. Interacting with it still requires being docked though.  Thank you for this suggestion!

This has been fixed in the latest version! We also found a few other ships that didn't match their descriptions in the ship yard and fixed those as well. Thanks again for reporting the issue!

This has been fixed in the new version!

This only happened when options was opened from the ship menu (rather than a keybinding). It's because the game wasn't properly paused when the menu was opened that way. It has been fixed in the new version!

That's an odd bug.  Thank you for reporting this, we'll look into getting it fixed.

Differing visuals were something we had considered early on but opted for a more uniform look to allow us to focus our efforts on game mechanics.  It's definitely something we could revisit down the road. We are planning on adding a hangar so the player can collect ships as well as looking into possibly being able to automate them, the latter of which will require some more time to test.  But owning multiple ships is one of our top priorities besides bug fixing and reducing pirate spawns. 

We've had this request a few times and we're looking into it.  In the mean time you may be able to copy the save from your browser (through inspecting element) and placing that in a text file in your save game folder on your PC.

Also happy to hear you're enjoying the game. Update are coming soon. Cheers!

Thank you for reporting! Will get this fixed up.

Great to hear you're having a good time with the game. Unfortunately I don't think there's an easy way to do that.  You may be able to right click, inspect element and copy the save data from your browser into your local deep space mining company 2 save game folder.  

We agree and this will be high priority for us to implement.

Thank you, we'll look into the cause of this.

Yes, that is a bug and we'll get that fixed. Thank you for pointing that out.

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. We're glad you enjoyed your time with the game. I think you make a good argument for being able to access the trading post menu at all times and it's something we're going to look into.  The graphical issues you experienced seem to be with the linux/chrome combo (as far as we can tell).  We haven't tested on linux and don't currently support it. We do hope to expand the gameplay with more activities, though our current focus is on bugfixing and tweaking. Again we really appreciate you taking the time to post and help us make this game better.  Cheers!

We're very proud to announce the release of our latest title: Deep Space Mining Company 2

Thanks for playing the game and taking the time to leave a comment.  I'll get those descriptions added to the game in the next update.  In the meantime I've updated the description on the page to include a brief overview of what each drone does.  Cheers!
