Bug Fixes
* Fixed an issue when Colonists could fall to another room. * Fixed an issue with time flow calculations. * Factory recipe unlocking system updated. Researched recipe is now automatically turned on. * Oxygen consumption is now correctly used only by colonists. (Dev. note: It was used by industry and power buildings, which led to transformation into pollution and then filtered out back into nitrogen. That could lead to oxygen levels dropping and room pressure increasing.)

Today it is not an usual update. We had a lot of meetings in the past few weeks, because we needed to see the bigger picture of where our game is heading. Thanks to our testers, who reported that information and game mechanics was really fast going and in overall a lot of mechanics were fast paced. So we decided to make a couple of big changes in gameplay, which I can already confirm were pretty good decisions and the game is already looking much cleaner, slower paced, clearer and more chill to play. For example:
New Features
- New Tier Cycle - Research:
- We understand that colony sim games can be overwhelming with all the things you need to learn to make things work. So we decided after a small tutorial YOU will be in charge of what do you want and need to do next. Running low on storage? No problem just research bigger storage or store into dumpsites, etc.
- Each colonist will produce passively research points. Higher educated colonists will yield higher amounts, but with no education you can expect very little gain. But each researcher in the Research Center will help you with points.
- New Buildings:
- Research Center (Education)
- Researcher worker slot increases research points gain
- Research Center (Education)
- Farm Incubator now produces more food (Basic Food production per recipe increased from 0.3 to 0.4)
- Mining time decreased from base 10s to 8s - (In the early stages of game you spend lot of time digging, so we speed it up a little to keep player more engaged on things that really matters.)
- Several bug fixes
- Fixed Rare Crashes: Addressed rare instances of crashes and game-breaking bugs reported by the community.
- Added Research tab categorized by buildings type
New Features
- New Buildings:
- House (Housing)
- Bigger and more comfortable establishment for your colonists.
- Nickel Printer (Heavy Industry)
- Transforms Nickel ore into Nickel
- Glass Printer (Heavy Industry)
- Transforms Sandstone into Glass
- House (Housing)
Changes
- Earth block now contains 10 Earth (was 8)
- Complete Resource transportation system reworked
- Game Events and Goals now triggers correctly
- Added Resource limit tab
- Goal window reworked to be more clear
- Panel Icons downsized
- Icons for buildings reworked and unified, now shows more clearly what building needs
New Features
- New Tier Cycle - Food:
- Now you can grow Food for your Colonists. It takes couple of jobs to make a chain complete. From transforming Earth into Soil, Soil and Water into Basic Food and in the end purify the Polluted Water into Clean Water again.
- New Buildings:
- Soil Printer (Food)
- Transforms Earth into Soil
- Food Incubator (Food)
- Transforms Soil and Clean Water into Food
- Water Purifier (Food)
- Purifies Polluted Water into Clean Water
- Soil Printer (Food)
Changes
- Farm Incubator now produces more food (Basic Food production per recipe increased from 0.3 to 0.4)

Starting with a small group of colonists, you're tasked to mine resources, refine materials, build structures, and innovate with new technologies. Across generations and centuries, you'll expand your settlement into a thriving civilization and terraform the planet to make it your new home.
Prosper Through the Ages
Colonists are born, educated, work, retire, and die. Over generations, their needs may evolve, dedication may diminish, and mutations may arise.Principle of Mass Conservation
Nothing simply disappears. Every bit of material transforms into something new. Resources follow their own cycles, involving production, consumption, and recycling.Food
Transform barren soil into fertile farmland using materials from your surroundings. Melt ice for water, use the water to grow food, and then purify it for reuse. Balance these elements and watch your colony thrive on the food you produce.Atmosphere
Convert exhaled carbon dioxide back into oxygen for your colonists. Tackle industrial pollution and manage various gases. As your base expands, maintaining atmospheric pressure becomes essential.Industry
Begin with mining ores and minerals, refine them into advanced materials essential for constructing buildings and crafting items. With each step, transform raw resources into the foundational elements of your expanding colony.Terraformation (during EA)
Transform the planet's surface and temperature to make it habitable by managing temperature control, ecosystem growth, and water resources. Create a breathable atmosphere and turn the planet into your new home.… And More
- Research: Unlock new possibilities, buildings, and recipes via the research tree.
- Power: Generate and store energy from diverse sources.
- Logistic: Manage logistics of your expanding colony with drones.
- Game Events: Strange things can happen in the cosmos. Some events might be nice, but some, well you will see for yourself.
- Space Management: Deal with the material you don't need.
- Luxury Food and Goods (during EA): Produce various items to keep colonists productive.
- Free time (during EA): Meet colonist social needs to prevent unrest.
- Temperature (during EA): Control the temperature within your colony and on the planet.
- Mutations (during EA): Turn the mutations in the alien world to your advantage.
See you underground!
