Several overdue updates with the in-game music for Deep Space Outpost. Firstly i've added two more music tracks, which will give some variety as previously only had one track in-game. But more tracks are available, once you build the new Jukebox item! The Jukebox currently gives you an additional channel to choose, which will open up several more tracks to listen to. Not just a bonus to the player though, as workers will get a bonus to morale if nearby and can earn credits from visitors (once implemented). The new Jukebox item is available under the "Services" build menu. It will likely also be possible to load your own music in a future update, but currently awaiting an engine update to include this. Patch notes:-

• Additional in-game music. Some of which accessed via the new jukebox buildable item.
• Improve: Music now doesnt stop when you pause in-game, only at the pause menu screen.
• Improve: Power HUD groups: Droid Maintenance, Ship PC and Jukebox all moved to habitat group (along with life support/crew quarters/food/canteen).
• Improve: Workers will now take shorter paths over items, rather than much longer distances to avoid.

Enjoy! Nick
