Hello friends!
Today we're bringing some more rocketry and space features out of testing. There are three major things to try out now!
The first is new conduit fittings for rocket interiors. These allow you to run plumbing directly between rocket storage modules and a rockets interior, allowing for more compact internal layouts, and a completely piped connection between ground infrastructure and internal infrastructure. This includes power, and there is even a new Battery Module to store power between the two systems.
Next, we've expanded the cluster by a couple of planetoids. Please welcome the Water Moonlet and Moo Moonlet to your happy little space family. The new addition of the Hydrogen Engine and Scanner Module will allow exploration out into these far reaches of space.
And finally, on these moonlets you're bound to find new sources of supermaterial components (or supermaterials themselves if youre lucky!). While we still have some work remaining before all base game content is available in the cluster system, this takes us one big step closer to completing that goal!
And with that it seems we've caught up with the edge of space, which means it's time to turn our attention back inward and see what we can discover on the planetoids of the cluster. Hm, what's that glowing green stuff?
Let us know how rockets and the new planetoids are working out for you in the feedback forums or filing bug reports. Thank you as always for your support and participation!
What's New and Improved?
Features
- Added new Rocket Interior Fittings:
- Power Outlet Fitting
- Liquid Intake/Output Fittings
- Gas Intake/Output Fittings
- Conveyor Receptacle/Loader Fittings
- Added new modules and updated modules from base-game
- New Battery Module for rockets which stores excess power generated by a rocket engine or ground facilities. Provides stored power to Interior Rocket Outlets
- Rocket engines now generate some power while in flight
- New "Scanner Module" that will allow rockets to explore unexplored space and reveal tiles as they go
- Revealing tiles on the cluster map with a Telescope or Scanner Module "peeks at" other nearby tiles, giving hints as to where other planets might be
- Added Spaced Out! versions of the Hydrogen Engine and Liquid Oxidizer Tank
- Added CryoFuel Propulsion tech to the Research Screen
- New Battery Module for rockets which stores excess power generated by a rocket engine or ground facilities. Provides stored power to Interior Rocket Outlets
- Expanded on the cluster and its resources:
- Added new Moo Moonlet to Terra and Swamp Clusters
- Added new Water Moonlet to Terra and Swamp Clusters
- Add a new Resin Rooster point of interest. It will appear on newly generated Marshy Moonlets. (Art/Sound are work-in-progress)
- Added "Resin" material to the game. This is a precursor to Isoresin
- Added Graphite material and recipes to the game. This is a precursor to Fullerene
- Suit Durability is now a custom game setting
- In progress: New effects added to rocket modules to indicate when a rocket is ready to launch

Build Extensive Bases and Discover What it Takes to Survive:
![]()
![]()
Everything in your space colony is under your control, from excavation and resource allocation right down to plumbing and power systems. Resources will begin depleting with your first breath, however, so be sure to dig fast if you want to live.
It’s Mind Over Matter with Stress Simulations:
![]()
![]()
Keep the psychological impact of survival at bay with fun leisure activities, great accommodations and even better food for your colony. Duplicants each have different and potentially destructive ways of reacting to stress, so be sure to always keep them happy. Whatever the cost.
Avoid Boiling with Thermodynamics:
![]()
![]()
Temperature control is a constant concern in space; too cold and you'll freeze, too hot and you'll fry. Keep tabs on ambient environmental temperatures and your colony's heat production to maintain a nice, cozy atmosphere for your colonists.
Enhance Efficiency through Complex Gas and Liquid Simulations:
![]()
![]()
Create interlocking pipe systems to swiftly deliver fuel and liquid to critical areas of your base. Plan well and be rewarded as your colony transforms into an imperishable, well-oiled machine.
Take Charge with Power Grid Simulations
![]()
![]()
Choose from a multitude of power sources including coal, hydrogen, natural gas or just plain old elbow grease. Manage power runoff, circuit overloads and meltdowns to keep your colony running smoothly.
Always Keep Yourself Breathing:
![]()
![]()
Enter the Oxygen Overlay and watch air moving through your base in real time. Monitor carbon dioxide accumulation and oversee oxygen generation processes to mold your colony into a veritable deep-space oasis.
Waste Nothing through Extreme Recycling
![]()
![]()
Make use of every last resource for a base that truly exemplifies efficiency. Recycle waste into precious fuel, process unbreathable gas into air or harness the natural bodily processes of wild creatures for food. If you’re clever, you might even be able to run a base off colonist farts.
Explore Diverse, Procedurally Generated New Worlds:
