Greetings, Spacefarers!
We've got another update for you to Space Haven Alpha 8. Water has been one of the most discussed topics since the Early Access release of Space Haven. Many of you seemed unhappy of how it was working, wishing for more of a closed type of system. Indeed there was a lot of feedback pouring in regarding this.
Expanding on the systems already in the game is also something we would like to achieve with time. We're happy to introduce the Water Collector to you, along with a new gas called Water Vapor. Water is used to grow food in grow beds, as such it is stored in food, water vapor is released from both plants and crew members, which can be turned back to liquid water using the water collector.
The Water Collector - This Water Collector reclaims water vapor from the air and condenses it back to liquid water. Place it close to grow beds for maximum efficiency.
Water Vapor - Water vapor is the gaseous phase of water and can be condensed back to liquid water.
Auto System Readiness Manager
Another prevalent issue was the fact that that it was easy to miss the so called "Red Alert" levers in the systems menu. Many were wishing for this type of function not knowing it already exists. We decided to implement an auto manager for this, which would take care of setting the proper readiness levels based on the situation at hand. If an enemy jumps into the sector the weapons and shields readiness levels will be set to high alert automatically.
Manual control is still available, simply by turning the auto manager off and then using the levers yourself. In addition to the above we've implemented more smaller improvements and bug fixes. See the full list of patch notes below.

Space Haven linux64 [208.09 M]
Embark on a space voyage with your ragtag crew of civilians in search of a new home. Build spaceships tile by tile, create optimal gas conditions, manage the needs and moods of their crew, encounter other space-faring groups, and explore the universe in this spaceship colony sim.
- Customize - Complete freedom to build a spaceship or station of your own desire. Place every piece of ship hull, wall, door and facility wherever you want.
- Functional - All facilities serve a purpose. Crew members will sleep in beds, use toilets, be disturbed by a noisy room and praise you for an arcade machine.
A functional spaceship can be built tile-by tile, giving you the opportunity to shape a spaceship of your own desire. It can be symmetric and streamlined, or an asymmetrical whimsical looking thing. It does not have to look like a conventional spaceship depicted in sci-fi literature, you are free to design your own, the choice is yours!
- Oxygen and CO2 - Keep optimal Oxygen and CO2 levels by building life support modules for your crew members.
- Hazardous gases - Certain facilities and explosions can release hazardous gases. Build scrubbers to purify the air.
- Temperature and power - Build thermal regulators to maintain an ideal temperature for your crew. Build power nodes and set up power distribution throughout the ship.
- Comfort - Building a bed right next to the ship core will disturb sleep. Design your ship for crew comfort.
The isometric tile-based gas system simulates various gases, temperature and crew comfort on your spaceship. Humans, plants and facilities react to the conditions surrounding them, giving meaning to how you design your ship and the living conditions you create. Secure facilities, optimize crew survival and well-being, but also think of possible future accidents and chaos generated from crew combat or environmental hazards.
- Skills and traits - Every crew member has their own set of skills and traits. A wimp might get scared shooting a gun, while an iron-stomach can eat anything unaffected.
- Mood - A happy crew member needs food, sleep, comfort, safety and friends. Take something away and their mood will be affected.
- Conditions - Crew members might feel adventurous, suffer from starvation, feel unhygienic, or they simply ate too much. Various conditions affect how they feel.
- Mental breaks - When the stress is too much for a crew member they may suffer a mental break. Some will vent themselves out of the air lock, while others might start a fight.
In Space Haven characters aren't mere robots. The game simulates needs, moods, health and skills of your crew members and they develop relationships with each other. Their past life occupation and hobbies will affect their skills and know-how, and they have both positive and negative traits. Witness joyful moments, depression, and drama surrounding different crew members as you journey onward seeking a new home.
- Away missions - Equip your crew members and organize away teams to explore derelict ships or visit stations or spaceships of other factions.
- Draft - Draft and move your crew members to attack enemies and save their friends.
- Inventory - Each crew member has their own unique inventory. Equip them with pistols, rifles, grenades and more.
Equip your crew with space suits and weapons and organize away teams to explore derelict ships and stations. Explore and salvage resources and items; find activated cryopods with someone frozen inside. Visit spaceships or stations of other factions and find data logs telling stories of past spacefarers searching for a new home.
- Crew combat - Engage in combat with enemy factions or an alien species.
- Aliens - Watch aliens incapacitate your crew members and capture them alive. See them suffer in the alien lair and decide if you want to try to save them or not.
Aliens capture your crew members and cocoon them against walls in their base. See them suffer in the alien lair and decide if you want to save them or not. Explore derelict ships and discover someone from the original crew of the ship captured by the aliens. Events like these create interesting back stories to new arrivals to your crew.
- Battlestations - Watch your crew take battlestations as you engage the enemy in ship-to-ship battle. See your crew load turrets with projectiles, put out fires from explosions, patch hull breaches and repair vital facilities in the midst of battle.
- Tactical - Target the enemy ship engine and stop them from fleeing. See them do the same to you. Engage their turrets directly or try to focus on the enemy ship core and see their ship go pitch black. Build shields to protect your most vital segments of your ships.
- Cryopods - Protect your crew from side-effects of Inter-stellar travel. Place crew members into stasis to freeze the progression of a disease or to await rescue.
- Medical - Treat crew members for injuries, wounds and diseases. Medical conditions affect crew members in various ways.
Your crew members will become wounded in battles and might catch a serious disease. Set up a medical room, scan for diseases and foreign masses and have your best doctor tend to illnesses and perform surgeries. Hope that your doctor is not absent minded and leaves a surgical tool inside.
- Generated galaxy - Explore a new procedurally generated galaxy each playthrough, with planets, asteroids, stations and spaceships of other factions.
- Factions - Interact with various factions all trying to survive and establish dominance their own way. Meet pirates, merchants, slave traders, cultists and more and develop relationships with each.
