0.2.14: A Polish Update (and Bug Fixes)
Fixing bugs and quality-of-life improvements. You can now "maintain X amount" (of stock) at any crafting station. Added a "new game" cutscene.
Changes
- Increased starting colonist inventory size from 2 to 4 (so that farmer and early-game item transportation is less painful)
- Colonists will now only poop on the floor if their urinate need is under 25% (and they'll queue the Urinate state at 75%, previously they queued this state at 60%)
- Added pride decorations
- Decreased mission durations and increased exp earned per mission.
- Changed "hive detection" to "Hostile Lifeform Detection". Also increased delay after warping before lifeforms starts to spawn around your base
- Combined "clean blood" and "clean floor" into single "Clean Station" task.
- Combined "Fix Object" and "Object Maintenance" into a single "Fix Object" task.
- Pilot now defaults to assigned.
- Colonists now eat anti-virals automatically when sick
- The Thermal Regulator will now warm/cool faster.
- All colonists with strength level 5 can now "crudely remove head" of corpses. High chance of skill loss. Colonists with doctor skill 5 will never cause skill loss when removing a head (competence roll is still performed).
- Comfort now uses the highest comfort value rather than an average. So placing a +25 object near a +50 object will now cause the comfort to be 50. Previously it was an average of 37.5. (the new value is the average of all negative comfort and the highest positive comfort).
- Mousing over a colonist will now display a variety of applicable statuses: Refuses to work, Organ Damage, Infected, Upset, Maniac, etc
- Moved water objects around in the tech tree. Also reduced research durations of "fundamental" objects, such as the Ore Refinery, Chem Table, Medical Desk, and Programming Terminal. Reduced all other research durations slightly.
- Hud messages, such as "Dimple started fighting Space Zombie", can now be clicked to goto the event.
- Added many more messages to to the HUD that were previously in the log window, such as "Dimple passed out from pain". Also added new ones: object maintenance failed, colonist is sick, and more
- Added conditional crafting UI to crafting stations. You can now choose between: Craft X Amount, Maintain X Amount (of stock), and Craft Forever. You could use this to always keep 10 medkits and 15 grilled biomass available. (Maintain X Amount is the only new option). Anything previously set to "infinite" will have to be reset back to "Craft Forever" (because this is a new back-end flag).
- Added "The Monty Special" recipe to the Juicer. Rerolls colonist's preferred job tasks.
- The "boundary" / "hull" floors are now buildable (the floors with holes big enough to fall through)
- Colonists now earn 10%/25% more exp in rooms with high comfort, at the thresholds 25/50.
- Chem table now costs 1k and Med Desk now costs 2.5k (previously they were both 5k). Chem Table is now a pre-req of the med-desk
- Crafting stations now have their own tab in the build menu. (rather than being in power)
- Reduced required skill for silicon missions from 25 to 15. Increased amount of exp earned from ship missions.
- Added intro cutscene
Fixes
- Changes to a colonist's uniform color are now immediately displayed in the HUD
- Colonists no longer flee from electro jellies
- Colonists are no longer growable immediately after being eaten by wildlife (zombie, slime, etc)
- Building a floor on top of another type of floor (boundary floor, etc), will no longer cause all objects on top of those floors to lose their stored rooms. (this caused shelves to not be connected to their storage zones and walls to not be paintable with the shift-tool)
- Many states will now automatically be requeued if they're interrupted. This includes healing
- Starting resource nodes are no longer placed at the edge, and pushed the access position of starting nodes away so that the starting node won't block pathfinding to its own access position.
- Colonists will now no longer attack monsters marked for "terminate" when in a healing state.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes crops didn't die when in a vaccuum.
- The game time is now set to 1x when a colonist dies (to prevent massacres).
- Fixed a bug where colonists would sometimes pick up too many items. This was especially noticeable when healing.
- Fixed a bug where food didn't decay properly when placed in a "null" atmosphere
- Objects now have a cooldown of 30 seconds after failed maintenance before they'll be "maintained" again. This prevents low competence colonists from immediately breaking everything you care about.
What's Next
- Jetpack
- Bioshrooms
- Zombie, Slime, and Cuddler Diseases
- Bedrooms
- Goolerium Tanks
- The return of the story
- Gear and Colonist Customization (long term)

Starmancer Linux [367.05 M]
After a catastrophe on Earth, humanity launches the Starmancer Initiative in a desperate attempt to seek refuge among the stars. Millions of refugees uploaded their consciousness into your memory banks--entrusting their minds and the future of the human race to an Artificial Intelligence, a Starmancer. To you.
Your task as a Starmancer is to construct and manage a space station capable of sustaining human life, regrow bodies for the thousands of minds trapped in your memory banks, and to defend your station at any cost. Let's just hope your governing protocols weren't damaged during the flight.
Starmancer offers gameplay with consequences, a living sandbox environment, crafting, and managing the daily lives of colonists.
Create a utopian society where everyone is well fed, happy, and safe. Or go rogue and figure out how many times a colonist can eat wheat before they go crazy. Play however you want.
- Sustain Life - Colonists have needs, like hunger and thirst. Build farms and grow crops for food. Place heaters to prevent hypothermia. Construct med bays and assign doctors to treat wounds, cure diseases, and replace limbs.
- Express Yourself - Customize your station with 18 unique wall types, 12 different floors, and over 50 distinct objects. Paint objects with 8 different color choices. Place cheerful paintings to remind the colonists how friendly and relatable you are, and motivational posters to let them know how much you value their productivity. Design fancy kitchens, luxurious bedrooms, and industrial docking bays.
- Power, Water, and Atmosphere - Provide power by connecting machines with wires. Prepare against blackouts by creating separate or redundant grids for your vital machines. Use pipes and water recyclers to convert dirty farm water into clean, drinkable water. Establish separate atmospheres with the help of vents and air ducts.
- Grow Humans - Colonists are grown in bio-tanks and assigned a consciousness from Earth. Create stations full of clones. Regrow your favorite colonists. Upload a mind into the wrong body, and observe the effects of sleeve sickness--for science.
- Jobs - Assign roles like farmer, doctor, miner, and security guard. Watch as your rookie chef acquires experience and becomes a seasoned pro, unlocking tastier and more exotic recipes.
- Unique Colonists - With randomized hair color and style, eye color, and skin color, there are over 8000 visual variations of colonist. These variations go beyond aesthetics, too. Some colonists prefer studying in their room, while others like to drink and socialize in the bar. Every game is different--your station and colonists will be unique to you.
- Memories and Rumors - Colonists remember the good (and bad) things that happen to them. These memories are shared, during conversation, and spread throughout the station like wildfire. Leave no witnesses.
- Personal Relationships - Colonists get extra sad when something bad happens to a friend, but they love to watch an enemy suffer. If you jettison a popular colonist you might have a mutiny on your hands.
- Procedural World - The solar system is dynamically generated each playthrough with planets, moons, asteroids, stations, and other factions. Want a challenging game? Place your station near a lawless, pirate region. Or take it easy by placing your station near a friendly faction. Play your way.
- Diplomacy - Interact with your neighbors, forming stable alliances or vengeful enemies.
- Explore - Earn respect and unlock new technologies by performing missions for other factions, responding to distress calls, trading, exploring and raiding.
Be ready to face the consequences, should you fail in your duties as a Starmancer.
- Invasion - Your colony can be invaded by pirates and enemy factions. Build traps, train soldiers, and form alliances. Keep your station secure.
- Insanity - A colonist can only witness so many friends being sucked out of air locks before they snap. No one knows what motivates a crazy colonist; they're simultaneously responsible for the greatest technological innovations and messiest homicidal rampages. This is why doors have locks. It's also why you can depressurize a single room--a great way to enforce bed time.
- Mutiny - Unhappy colonists will stop working. You can cheer them up with motivational posters, tasty treats, and nicer rooms. Be careful, though, when morale gets too low, colonists will actively rebel and attempt to destroy your core. Make an example out of rebels and stamp out any hint of resistance.
