Another day another update. Mainly bug fixes and improvements. But a change that will make a large difference in the future is the inclusion of credits. Now you don't just have to barter, but can sell to build up credits, and buy with just credits. Thought i'd get that added as will be needed when you can charge for services in the future. Also makes it easier to understand trading. Full notes:-

• Credits now added to the game.
• Improvement: Ammo hauled to cannon with least ammo.
• Improvement: Light tile damage fx reduced (as it shows as soon as <100%).
• Fix: Station placement, template not showing turrets & salvage depots.
• Fix: Ammo Storage figure not being set on load.
• Fix: Repair/deconstruct droid crash.

"Welcome commander to your first non simulated mission. You are in control of our mining startup station, which has just reached our licensed territory in this sector. Mission begins now."

Deep Space Outpost is a sci-fi base builder with resource gathering and base management. Create your space station, mine asteroids for resources and make your mission a success.

Features:-

• Build your own space station tile by tile. Start with a small startup craft and expand to achieve your mission.
  
• Current game modes:- sandbox, several scenarios and station builder.
  
• Gather resources by mining asteroids or capturing passing meteoroids/scrap. Refine into building materials, water, fuel and oxygen.
  
• Manage your power production and usage. Watch out for solar storms and electrical damage.
  
• Build defense turrets to protect your station from space threats such as pirates and meteoroids.
  
• Trade resources by bartering with passing trader ships.
  
• Job management - Prioritize worker droids to repair, build, transport or deal with emergencies.

We want to expand this list greatly, take a look at the Early Access section for details of our roadmap and Steam discussions to see what we're currently working on.
