Just a quick update as was made aware of a crash issue today. Was a problem with contracts and when they lapsed could cause a crash. That's now fixed, along with a collision boundary issue when placing a default station in scenarios (was out by a tile). So now consistent with placing a custom station (along with the dashed outline). Patch notes:-

• Improve: Show dashed line outline on default station placement.
• Fix: Station placement, fix collision check with default station.
• Fix: CheckContracts, if lapsed skip complete check, as deleted (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.
