Space Haven Alpha 12 - Now In The Experimental Branch!
Space Haven Alpha 12 is now available to play in the experimental branch. As a reminder, the update process is as follows: [olist] A new Update is first available in the Experimental Branch.
Players, who do not mind playing a more unstable version, will first want to test the new update.
Once the experimental game build looks solid and stable enough we will push it out officially to all players!
[/olist]
NOTE! Joining experimental is completely optional, and you should only do it if you are willing to risk that some new bugs are introduced, which could affect your game play and potentially break your save.
Please do not join the experimental branch if you don't want to risk breaking your save or have the game break on you in midst of play! If you want to play a more stable version please wait for the official release of the update.
Note! We believe old Alpha 11 saves will work, but cannot guarantee it to 100%. A lot of new things have been added to the game. We will know better once many of you have tested it. =)
Here is how you join The Experimental Starfarer crew:
[olist]
Open Steam Library
Right click Space Haven
Select Properties
Go to tab 'Betas' at the top.
Select 'Experimental' in the drop-down.
[/olist]
To see what has been added, check the in-game patch notes.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/979110/discussions/5/ Let us know what you think of the new features and if something should be altered or tweaked in your mind. Perhaps something makes the game too hard or something is too annoying, let us know so we can get a feel for how the new features feel! =)
Please give your feedback in the experimental branch forum. Link below: https://steamcommunity.com/app/979110/discussions/5/ Let us know how the new sound space feels in the game, which facilities work well and which do not. Perhaps some facilities have too much volume in their sound? Remember to try the new separated sound volume settings in the game options, where you can tweak Sound Effects and User Interface sounds separately. Please give your feedback in the forum mentioned above, as it is easiest to collect it all in one place! =)
The statistics menu does not have a button for it yet, but you can bind a key to open the menu in the game options -> keybindings. Try it out and let us know how it works. =)
You can read up on many of the new features in more detail in the previous post: https://steamcommunity.com/games/979110/announcements/detail/5437509496111344022

- Created various tools for the hull painter to create your own color patterns on your ships.
- Added tile decorations to the roofs of ships and stations.
- Modified the sound space to not be as quiet as before. Note that the sound volume of elements is dynamic, it is based on the current zoom level.
- Added more sounds to the game: Industry facilities, power generators, power nodes and thermal regulators, Hyperdrives.
- Added some sounds for characters too, when they walk (zoom in to hear it), when they take a hit from an enemy, idle whistle and more. Some sounds are only played when zoomed in close enough, to not overwhelm the sound space with too many sounds all at once.
- User interface sounds and game sounds now have their own separate volume setting in the game options.
- Added a resource prioritization option to airlocks. You can use this to specify to which airlock certain resources should be transported.
- Added some history graphs to the various view modes, tracking values over a period of time and shows them in a graph.

- Modified the link type UI section in the power view mode. Added an expert mode button to reveal the advanced link types. Added a new special type of link, which allows you to create a link, which only moves power when capacity is over a threshold.
- Added a tooltip showing what type of resources are in crates visible on the floor. This will make it easier to see what's actually in the crate piles on derelict ships for example.
- Created a new wide styled ship for: Android Collective, Civilians.
- Modified and improved in-game icons.
- Improved various graphics.
- Balancing: Increased the CO2 need for plants and decreased the CO2 generation of crew members, with the aim to make the CO2 producer actually needed for optimal plant growth.

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.
- Resources - Mine for raw resources and refine them to building materials. Trade resources with other groups you meet.
Explore a new procedurally generated galaxy each new playthrough, with various factions all trying to survive and establish dominance their own way. You'll meet pirates, slavers, merchants, cults, androids and more. Jump into hyperspace, seek out resources and meet various groups and develop your relationship with them.
Cool things that can happen in Space Haven:
- Gain a new crew member by finding a activated cryo chamber aboard a derelict ship.
- Have a space burial for your fallen crew member to let other crew members say good bye.
- Grow plants with bio mass and water recycled from toilets.
- Eat the meat from a fallen crew member or an invader if desperation is high.
- Watch aliens capture your crew member and cocoon them to a wall in their lair. Will you go save them or leave them there?
