Beta v1.0.5 - Navmesh fixes and new theoretical research projects

This beta build contains a few more things players have asked about in the past two weeks. There are new Theoretical Research projects available in the Research Center. These projects allow you to gain research points of a specific type. These can come in handy when you're short a few points for another research project. This is a (limited) alternative to going out, exploring and collecting samples. The camera now zooms out just a bit further. Together with the camera fixes in the previous update I hope the strategic view will be more useful. Various fixes related to navigation. Notably, all cargo ships now have different avoidance priority values. This should prevent them from colliding, unable to pass by each other and halting your trade routes. The full changelog for v1.0.5: - Add "theoretical" research projects to generate research points of any type - Refresh research panel on resource events - Don't drop empty Cargo Drop Pods - Increase the navmesh size in the Trappist-1 solar system, so the Ark can't get lost in space - Add differing priorities to each cargo ship to better resolve collisions - Fix possible overlapping UI elements for game speed controls and research panel - Allow the camera to zoom further out when in space

As soon as humanity had the means we sent out an interstellar colony ship. Its design was basic but elegant. And it made it all 40.7 light-years to Trappist-1.

— Ship data files

On arrival at Trappist-1 you control the Ark. A large spaceship/movable colony and trading hub for your exploration of Trappist-1.

Trappist is a story-driven colony builder with resource management in the Trappist-1 solar system, and a focus on care-free building and story.

It's easy to play and respectful of your time. You'll create and grow multiple colonies in the Trappist-1 solar system, meet new alien friends and explore the mysteries of Trappist.

Trappist is fully playable from beginning to end and is under active development with more stories, colonies and improvements coming.

Explore the Trappist-1 solar system

Fly through the Trappist-1 solar system and survey each planet to find the best locations for your colonies.

Discover and excavate alien artifacts hidden in the system and uncover the true purpose of Trappist-1.

Build your colonies

Build colonies on the planets and moons of Trappist-1. Each colony has distinct resources and buildings that are necessary for success.

Fill your cargo ships with the extracted resources and fly them to your manufacturing or population centers. Create automated trading routes for stable production chains across your colonies.

Fly your Ark as a mobile colony or place it strategically as your central trading hub.

Planned features and continued development

These are some of the features I hope to implement:

Trappist is under active development. But as a solo developer I can't guarantee everything will be implemented, or will be implemented to an extent you might want or expect. I recommend you consider purchasing this game based on its current state alone.
