Hello all you lovely AIs out there!
With this small update we bring you some long awaited outposts and with it the ability to finally mine rare resources like silver, tungsten, gold and platinum! steamhappy
(More Outposts will still be added with future updates)
We've also made stars on the starmap slightly bigger and their names hopefully a bit more readable together with some other minor UI polishing for the miners.
We've also made Steam Leaderboards public, so you can now see how you compare globally and with your friends in Steam yourself. Just click on your Steam Achievements and in the upper right you have a drop down for "Personal/Global Leaderboards" :)
On top of that we took another look at the Cryo Tower GPU Performance and were able to increase their GPU performance further from 30fps with 6 Towers to 60fps with 8 Towers firing their AoE simultaneously.
Before:
After:
As you can see in the lower picture, the performance spikes (those green/blue mountains in the bottom) are much lower and consistent than before.
If you had fps drops from the Cryo Tower AoE before, let us know if this increased the performance for you aswell.
We wish all of you a happy and relaxing easter and hope to see you on the next update!

Story
It's the year 2249, most resources on earth are nearly depleted and have lead to many conflicts in the past.Despite those crises, humanity made huge progress in the fields of AI, which in turn allowed for enormous advances in space travel.
Scientists were even able to create a new kind of engine, which made it possible to travel faster than light. But on the downside humans were not able to survive this way of transportation.
In a last desperate attempt and in search for new resources, the EIRO (European Interstellar Resource Organization) built a brand new ship which was only controlled by an AI named "Athena".
Hoping that the AI can survive the jump and begin autonomous exploration and exploitation of resources, the ship is launched into an unknown future...
