This update includes two fixes that I don't want to hold back until Community Update 2 due out later this month.
Large Bases
As we start to see larger builds, performance and life support have both dropped. This update includes fixes for both, though more improvements are planned. At a minimum, you can now Borg Cube an entire Asteroid Cave and still get breathable air.
Tech Tree Changes
An oversight or typo in a previous update had some crystal research showing up before key exploration technology. This has now been changed and will work with existing saves. If you've been stuck on crystals and don't have launchpads, this is for you.
We continue to work on engine updates and even have some pretty great visual updates for Community Update 2.
Thanks for playing!
You need to rebuild your hyperspace engine to get back home. But you'll need more than a simple replicator and carbon-rich asteroids to do so. Collect asteroids, expand your ship, and build outposts to accomplish your goal.
Explore the field around you
The resources you need are scarce and unlikely to be found nearby. Navigate, map and explore the field to find minerals, crystals and exotic fauna in the field alone or with friends. Set beacons to remind yourself to visit again.
Survive the harshness of space
Managing your suit's systems can be an ardurous task. Make sure to prepare carefully before venturing out into the asteroid field, and bring up to three friends to make the task easier.
Research to fix your ship
You awoke with a basic replicator and a small tank of oxygen. Use the advanced materials you find in the field to research the technology of your people and work toward rebuilding your hyperspace engine. Along the way, unlock automation, quality-of-life upgrades and more.
