Update for you, Alex — Fixed the morale bug. Morale used to be a death spiral: once it dropped, you basically needed power, staffing, and life support all perfect at once just to stop the bleeding, let alone recover. I changed three things: stopping active shortages now earns a small recovery drip even before everything's perfect, crew reinforcements can arrive at 35 morale instead of 55, and resignations from rock-bottom morale ease off once you're down to 2 crew instead of being able to empty the station. Tested it by crashing a station to 8% morale and 3 crew — it climbs back to full morale and crew in about 7.5 in-game days now. Live in the browser version, give it another shot and let me know how it feels!

Found it — a timing bug where the Forge/Sell/Hire/Upgrade buttons could get silently dropped if you clicked at the wrong instant, since the page was rebuilding faster than a click could register. Fixed and just uploaded, should be live now — let me know if it's still acting up for you. Thanks for the reports, @Debuging, @Spaceorbisgaming, @clansing, @ReedAcyted, @djizon. @clansing — no AI slop, just a real bug on my end that a bunch of these idle-game templates apparently share. Appreciate you flagging the pattern. Also dont worry im not banning anyone this aint reddit anyway ;)

Hi Alex! 

Thanks for playing my game and I'm glad u love the concept! In terms of boosting the crew moral i'm still in the works in that but will smooth it out soon! Stick around and watch for a Devpost soon!

You run a deep-space outpost. Command expects it self-sufficient within 30 days, and every event log entry is a real decision: solar flares halve your array output for hours, micrometeoroid swarms tear into the hull, illness spreads through the habitat and tanks productivity. Balance power, life support, and crew — the station can genuinely fail if you don't adapt.
