Patch 0.2.19: The Tutorial
[ 2023-12-15 16:16:10 CET ] [ Original post ]
When colonist morale is low, they now have a chance to "snap". Added a tutorial. Kat is back! Water now decays into dirty water, and dirty water emits germs. Added the flammable item attribute (this is a big deal, so be careful). Improved lockdown behavior so that colonists now return to base much quicker.
Changes
- Colonists now have a chance to "snap" when their morale is low. This chance increases the lower that their morale is. When colonists snap, they acquire a random perk, such as graffti artist. Every extra snap increases the chance that the colonists will get an extra bad perk, such as pyromaniac, saboteur, and maniac. Every few hours, colonists gain +1 morale as "catharsis", capping at +15. Colonists "snap out of it" when their morale returns to positive. Snap count is reset to 0 upon: death, therapy booth use, memory wipe from memory pen. Snap count is reduced by 1 every 10 days. In this way, colonists will no longer stay upset forever, and the first few snaps are very forgiving.
- Added new snap perks: Hider, Space Terror, Lazy, Crybaby, Binge Eater, Vomit, Dazed, and Militant Incompetence
- Added tutorial
- Added notification when no colonist is assigned mining, building, or scavenging
- Slinkers now eat rotten food.
- Colonists (and all lifeforms) now respond when they're attacked by another agent and it's a miss. Previously they would only react once they took damage.
- Water now decays into Dirty Water in the presence of germs.
- Dirty water now emits germs.
- Biowaste and Puke now emit more germs.
- Added "flammable" item attribute. Flammable items catch on fire when near fire or explosions. The item is destroyed when it catches on fire. Flammable items: Biomass, Goolerium, Most Food, and Biowaste.
- Fire now triggers explosions when near to items with the explosive attribute.
- Windows and the Water Recycler now cost Scrap instead of Metal Framework
- Lifeforms (monsters, etc) now obstruct pathfinding (so they stop colonists and other monsters. colonists could become trapped. much fun)
- Whale Meat is now flammable. Rotten Whale meat is now explosive. For the good people, this is dangerous. For the pirates, this is free explosive.
- Galaxy map can now be opened always.
- Colonists now lose relationship points when they see another colonist puke. Added a memory (-2 morale) when colonists witness someone else puke.
Fixes
- Colonists will now store warpfuel in the warpdrive before putting it on floors.
- Colonists no longer explore while lockdown is active
- Larva husks in a hot room now grow into eggs much faster.
- Fixed a bug where dimple was eaten by a worm while on the treadmill.
- Fixed a bug where colonists would pretty much ignore lockdown all the time.
- Colonist level up messages are now only displayed every 5 levels, and all levels above 40.
- Colonists will no longer remain wandering outside your base after lockdown is activated. Now, during lockdown, colonists will only wander near your core (this is fun, because everyone gets to hangout).
- Fixed an atmosphere bug with shelves.
- Fixed a bug where fog-of-war would be created when placing floors near asteroids.
What's Next
- Quests
- Faction System
- Throwable Biowaste (adding a system for colonists to throw items as weapons)
- Return of the gossip system?

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.
