Howdy Astronauts!
Update 0.6 has been taking some time to make, but that's ok! I want the Gamma belt update to be a substantial addition to the game instead of just another small update.
Gamma belt
So you've explored the Alpha Belt, with its planetary surveying wreckages, and the dense, icy particle field of the Beta Belt, scattered with data-relaying wreckages. It'll soon be time to venture into the Gamma Belt, where seed vaults were stored, which were ready for deployment following what would have been the terraforming stage. These vaults are passcode protected, so you'll have to do some digging around to get inside (or just hit the keypad
really hard and hotwire the circuits). Speaking of seed vaults:
Farming overhaul
It's looking like there'll be
11 new types of plant to grow in Update 0.6. This will include some new plants for eating such as carrots, and some fungi to craft medicine. There'll also be new status effects that different foods can give you, such as feeling energised, well fed, and poisoned.
Airlocks (finally)
So for the past few weeks I've been getting airlocks to work reliably with the game's building system. You'll be able to create your own airlocks along with finding some wreckages with intact airlocks. While in an airlock, you can breathe without depleting your O2, and your oxygen storage will gradually refill. This also allows for an upgraded set of blueprints that will no longer need oxygen tanks swapping out.
Thank you for checking out my game,
