Patch 0.2.18: A Polish Patch
[ 2023-11-29 20:46:24 CET ] [ Original post ]
This is just a small polish patch. Good performance improvements in this one. We also added a radar dish, chainable explosives, searching items by name, new star systems, and more.
Chainable Explosives
Searching For Items
Job Descriptions in tooltip
Changes
- Reduced many instances of "stuttering". 3x speed is now more playable.
- Colonists will now talk with many lifeforms (but the lifeforms don't talk back)
- Those same lifeforms will now randomly display speech bubbles
- Corpses now emit germs, and they're ugly
- Added memory when colonists sleep in a noisy room
- Eyeball portal now stores 10k power, and is removed when all power is drained
- Chloropods now get aggressive when they see trees being chopped down.
- Added a text search filter in the item selection window.
- Added descriptions for all jobs in their tooltip.
- Added destroyed star system. It's a star system with only scrap, and destroyed planets. High chance of space whales
- Added "void star systems". It's a star system with nothing at all. No asteroids, etc.
- Added radar dish. It's used to scan nearby stars, revealing their contents, such as lifeforms and traders. (this information is now hidden until the star is scanned)
- Added many more attributes to items, such as "Human Edible", "Rotten", "Hot"
- Gas Giants now spawn Hydra Gas, an item that can be sold to traders for money.
- Explosives now chain react together
- Fuel, Star Fuel, and Sulfur are now explosive.
- Sanitizer can now be stocked with immune boosters. Doing so will provide immunity to any nearby colonists. (this invention is made possible by the Bloklander Corporation)
- Added more scrap to starting system and reduced number of asteroids.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug where chefs would cook food without destroying the reagent if the reagent food was in their inventory.
- Thermal Regulator now correctly triggers its cooling animation.
- Colonists will no longer consume anti-virals if "use anti-virals" is turned off after the colonist is infected.
- Colonists no longer die instantly if their max health is under 1 (max health minimum is now 1).
- Food dishes are now longer "biomassable"
- The ship and solar panel now automatically place warp zone tiles so that they're not lost on warp.
- Fixed a bug where "seemingly-random" objects would be displayed as "lost on warp"
- Out of bounds message no longer references expansion permits.
- Ship requirements no longer say "purchase with credits and an upgrade module"
- Only the first 6 assigned colonists are now displayed in job task cards
- Fixed a bug where colonists wouldn't use items that were stored on asteroids.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes colonists wouldn't craft even when all items were available.
What's Next
- Tutorial
- Quests
- Faction System
- Throwable Biowaste (adding a system for colonists to throw items as weapons)

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.
