Version 1.02 is now live

Hi all, Version 1.02 is now live and off the testing branch. 1.03 will be coming soon. As a reminder, here's what's new in 1.02, which is now available for everyone:

Sol 0 now supports achievements. There are six, one for each mission patch, and one for unlocking the last level. If you already have some of these patches, just starting the game will award you all the achievements that you have already unlocked.
Accidentally clicking through the GUI is no longer possible – prevents accidentally deselecting units, especially on the main GUI and the biology strain mixing window.
Minor optimizations and refining of the pathing introduced in 1.01, mostly improving behavior in some edge cases.
Sol 0 now supports localization. I would eventually like to officially support between 4-6 languages. Official language support is going to take a bit more time, since it involves paying for a high quality translation and modifying a few graphics that contain text. However, unofficial community translations can now be created using a translation tool available here (Windows only), and lets you modify nearly all the game text and share the language file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wc2b8lm8je9e374/Localizer.zip?dl=0

Check out the threads on the forums devoted to the Localizer to read more about the tool, or send me an email if you're interested in adding in trying it out and need some tips! - Sol 0 Team

Sol 0 is a real time strategy game where you establish the first Martian colony. From the first human footprints on Martian soil to a thriving and self-sustaining colony, Sol 0 imagines a near future using technology that could be available within the next few decades. Make use of minerals and resources across the Martian surface to expand from the first exploratory rover to an independent frontier.

From Chondrite Games, Sol 0 gives players the ultimate chance to take on the challenges inherent in pushing the boundaries of space exploration and habitation. Grow food, extract water, build habitats, generate electricity, evade unpredictable Martian weather, mine natural resources, and construct increasingly complex and sophisticated colony bases.

Challenging simulation

You’ll be faced with balancing food and water needs, oxygen and energy supplies, natural resource collection, and preparing for weather disasters including meteorite impacts and dust storms. Prioritize the supplies you bring to ensure your colony’s survival.

Become independent from Earth

The technology featured in Sol 0 is inspired by concepts currently being developed and deployed for Martian exploration. From water and mineral extractors, rovers with fine-tuned instruments, and biology labs that cross-breed bacterial strains from Earth’s extreme environments to increase food production on Mars, the available tools reflect an ever closer reality.

Explore Mars and worlds beyond

Ice caps, lava plains, and arid equatorial regions each offer distinct challenges to success, and randomly generated maps provide extended playability. Build custom maps using the Sol 0 Map Editor, and share your creations with other players.
