Little update, mainly to resolve a crash reported when humans are trying to find a free crew quarters. Have also optimised workers job distance check, so now much simpler calculations to see if droid has enough battery to get to a job and back to your station. This gives quite a fps boost if you've made a very large station and/or have lots of workers. May need some tweaking, so let me know if you see droids on emergency power very often. Patch notes:-

• Improve: Worker check job distance, optimise battery/distance tests.
• Fix: Crash on human crew quarters lookup (introduced in v0.5.0.36).
• Fix: Initial zoom judder.
• Fix: Pirate dock pipe animation scale correctly.

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.

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.
