We now have the new docking connector structure to help you build your station. This is a cheaper wall like item, that you can use to expand the outside of your station. You can attach turrets, solar connector and walls to it. But the main use will be for ships to dock at and use you facilities (repair bay next up). Also note have split off a couple of productions items into new services category. Full changes:-

• New docking connector structure. Help updated.
• Life support and droid maintenance moved to new Services build menu.
• New docking overlay added.
• Fix: Main menu scenario message missing.
• Fix: HUD alignment in builder mode.
• Fix: Load game, button wasn't been reset on select.

"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.
