when wil we be able to get next updat

Developer(+1)

Almost ready. In a few days hopefully.

can we get any spoilers? :D

Developer

Won't be anything toooo crazy:

  • Base airleaks that you'll have to fix.
  • Some behind-the-scenes updates to the way the game saves base air/power/water stuff (which has been eating up most of my time recently).
  • Also some quality-of-life improvements like being able to access the map while driving the buggie and being able to manually water greenhouse plants with the water bottles.

yay no so exited about air leaks tho

(1 edit)

Air leaks sound like they could be a pure time sink, and an annoyance if they pop up randomly. Depends on how the mechanics work.

I already avoid solar panels to go with an pure RTG setup so I don't have to maintain my power systems all the time.

I'd be all over an armored base module upgrade to make them immune to leaks short of crashing the buggy or possible future critter attacks.

Developer

Yeah, trying to keep them from being toooo annoying. As of right now, they happen wayy less often, and with less consistency than the dirty solar panels. Totally open to tweaking the rates at which they happen after the update gets pushed out (and how fast they drain oxygen from your base etc).

Upgraded, less leaky base modules would be pretty sweet.

New player here, loving it! Like the leaks idea.

Not played for long, will there be natural disasters, storms, meteorites, crop death etc?

Game is Awesome! Keep up the great work!!!

Developer

Thanks! I have the ground work for some weather events / disasters half setup - which will hopefully include sand storms, rain, meteors etc.

Crop death should probably be a thing - especially if the greenhouse goes too long without having any air.

Awesome, thanks for the reply! :)

Dear, Cairn4 I have played the game i found out about via Youtube i love it totally worth the 3 dollars for download I was wondering 2 things the first being that could you add nanobot repair rooms which like room that auto repair the air leaking rooms automatically but make it done like via nanobots so that the bigger your base the more nanobot rooms you need or something like that (same could be applied for solar panels) and when is the next update and thanks Cairn4 for making me have no life again due to your awesome game taking up all of my time :) ps. you should add that awesome music in the menu screen to the actual game because the game is quiet without music and please make it possible to buy upgrades for our astronaut like a bigger oxygen tank maybe or more suit power thanks

Developer

Thanks for checking it out!

Yeah, if you have a massive base, the repair work can start getting overwhelming - so I should probably think of some way to help make it a tad easier.

Next update: I usually try to get updates out every 2 weeks or so, as my free-time allows :)

Music in-game: yes, it definitely needs some.

Suit upgrades: been thinking about upgrades overall recently (base modules, suit, etc) - I probably wont be getting to them super soon, but in general it seems like it'd be a good/logical feature to add.

Cheers!

Is there going to be a sprite update to make our space man look like the adorable space cat?

Developer

Yep! I started working on it a while back but just got side-tracked on other things, and not 100% happy with it quite yet. It'll get there eventually!

is it possible to add some NPCs into the game, like a trader or some sort of new astronauts, or even abandoned base with some modules that can be scavenged!! :P
