We now have Steam workshop support for your station files. When loading or selecting station files, you'll now have the option of selecting the 'workshop' button, where you'll see any subscribed station items. Saving a station likewise gives you the workshop option, where you add a title/description and can upload it. Currently you are automatically subscribed to your uploads, so you can see them in-game immediately. Couple of improvements still to make here though, do take a look at this workshop discussion. I've also made a reasonably significant change to deconstruction. It was pointed out to me last week that build orders can be cancelled (if no droid assigned) but the same is not true for deconstruction. So now you can cancel your deconstruct orders (again use the build menu 'delete' on tiles/items set to be deconstructed, but not yet assigned). Also note that refunded metal costs now happens when a worker has finished each deconstruct job. Which actually does makes more sense! :o) Patch notes:

• Load/select station files can now browse steam workshop.
• Save station file, option to upload to steam workshop.
• Saving owned workshop station file to workshop, give update option.
• Uploading station to steam, set to subscribed.
• Improve: Can cancel deconstruction if droid not assigned.
• Improve: Deconstruction metal refund now made after job finished.
• Fix: GUI panel locations not consistent between Main/Pause menu, occasional overlap.

"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.
