Okay so I played on a laptop the other day and realised that aside from my lack of skill with a trackpad, a lot of the controls don't make sense without a mouse or a numpad. So now the keys all have laptop friendly alternatives, and if you don't like the keys I've chosen you can use the new custom keymapping menu to choose your own in OPTIONS from the title menu.
This is just a little update but I wanted to get it out quick as I realised the game was quite uncomfortable to play on a laptop.
As usual, if you find any bugs or want to suggest any features go to http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ssabeta
Changelog 1.04 - 22nd March 2015
New/Improved Features
- Set your controls the way you like with the new keymapping menu.
Bug Fixes
- Stairs can no longer be built when you are at the top level, preventing horrible pathfinding bugs when you build past the top.

Space Station Alpha is a game where you build and manage a space station in the outer reaches of the Milky Way.
You have been given a small bit of space of your own, a handful of credits and a beat up old WorkerBot(tm). Your task is to take this undeveloped piece of vacuum and turn it into a tourist center/economic hub/mega-prison/diplomatic epicenter or any combination you can manage.
The challenges will be many, oxygen will escape through every tiny hole in the hull, you'll contend with asteroid showers and nebulous alien blobs. In the end though the hardest hing will be managing the various needs and wants of your various squishy alien customers.
