Space Haven Alpha 19 - Now Released!


Greetings, Spacefarer!


Our three developer strong team here at Bugbyte has been hard at work and we have another Major Update for you to enjoy! Let's take a look. Major Update 19 (Alpha 19) adds improvements and new content to a wide range of areas. A black market and an expanded contraband system, new crew combat weapons and weapon attachments such as flamethrowers and grenade launchers, stun weapons and many new items crew members can use, organ harvesting, alien parasites, learning computer, new furniture, a holy cow and more!

A Note On Continuing A Saved Game From Alpha 18


(These instructions are only for those who want to continue a saved game from Alpha 18, or stay on Alpha 18. If you are happy with updating the game and starting a new game there is nothing you have to do, except let Steam update the game.) We recommend starting a new game to enjoy the new update, but it is possible to continue a saved game from the previous version, Alpha 18. If you want to continue playing the previous version, Alpha 18, and decide yourself when you want to update, we have made it possible through the following method: [olist]
  • Open Steam Library
  • Right click Space Haven
  • Select Properties
  • Go to tab 'Betas' at the top.
  • Select 'alpha_18' in the drop-down. (NOTE! Only do this if you want to stay on the old version) [/olist] When you are ready to move on to Alpha 18, follow the above steps but choose "none" in the list. This will put you in the default branch and the game will update.

    What's New in Alpha 19


    The Black Market



    The Black Market is available as its own tab at leisure, prison and research stations. Up until now the game has only had a few contraband items and no way to really benefit from trying to be a black market dealer/smuggler in the game. We wanted to expand on this and make it possible to play as a smuggler, benefitting from trading in items seen illegal by the Military Alliance. The new contraband system adds a Black Market to the game, which can be seen at leisure stations, prison stations and research stations. These stations have special individuals on them, dealing in black market items, allowing you to tap into this stream of income should you choose to do so.
    Black Market dealers utilize small asteroids as a hidden way to deliver items. Black Market dealers use stashes placed at small asteroid patches, which allows trading items out of sight from other parties. Shuttles will deliver the items to this asteroid, and the receiving party can fetch the items once they've been delivered. [h5]Dirty Prison Station Guards[/h5]
    Dirty guards at prison stations allow you to smuggle goods in and out of the station. [h5]Rogue Xenochemists[/h5]
    Research station has rogue xenochemists. They can create CSP's. Cloud substance pills. Made from alien enzymes. Cloud substance pills is a drug of the best form, when it comes to recreational use.

    The Smuggler Storage



    The smuggler storage allows you to better hide contraband items from nosy parties. A storage for all the smugglers out there! Use this storage to better hide contraband items from faction inspections. A scanner cannot detect contraband in this storage. However, there is a small chance that a crew visiting your ship performing an inspection will find it.

    Stashes at Derelict Ships



    Derelict ships may now have stashes with some items hidden out of sight. Keep an eye out for these while exploring derelict ships! Derelict ships can now have hidden stashes with items in them. Be sure to inspect what's inside them while exploring derelict ships, you may find some nice stuff in them.

    Alien Parasites



    While asleep, Jorge is having a bad dream and will unfortunately wake up realizing it wasn't a dream. Alien parasites have been added to the game. These unwanted small creatures may find their way on your ship in multiple ways and once onboard they aim to hide themselves in the hull of your ship. Crawling inside the hull space they bide their time and wait for an opportune moment to strike an unfortunate crew member.

    The Advanced Medical Bed



    The Advanced Medical Bed is capable of scanning crew members and check for any non belonging micro-organisms or other illnesses. Crew members can become infected with nasty stuff and it's about time there is some health scanner available to check what's going on inside the poor bodies of the crew members. The Advanced Medical Bed can scan crew members whenever they are having weird sensations. [h5]Doctors and Surgeons[/h5] In addition to the advanced medical bed we have added surgeons to the game. Crew members with a medical skill of 6 or higher are now considered surgeons while crew members with lower than 6 are considered Doctors. A surgeon is needed to operate an Advanced Medical Bed.

    Alien Organs



    Organ harvesting is now possible at the Autopsy Table. Organs can now be harvested by using the autopsy table. Organs may have some value at the Black Market in select places. Harvest your very own organs today!

    New Weapons, Weapon Attachments & New Items



    Jorge's Revenge. He thinks it's a dish best served GRILLED! Jorge takes his revenge on the aliens after being subjected to an alien parasite ruining his sleep. The Flamethrower comes in handy when needing to take care of many crawlers all at once.
    Jorge's inventory showcasing the weapon attachment slot and a bunch of new items. We've added weapon attachments, allowing for a variety of new firepower to be introduced to the game. Weapon Attachments can be attached to rifles, giving the weapon a secondary attack that you can choose to apply strategically whenever you see fit. New Weapon Attachments include:
    • Flamethrower - This flamethrower projects a stream of flammable liquid, which allows some bouncing the stream off walls and causing areas hit to take fire.
    • Explosive Grenade Launcher - This grenade launcher is designed to attach to a rifle. It gives a rifle a secondary attack in form of firing a grenade at a target.
    • Incendiary Grenade Launcher - Launches incendiary grenades, igniting fires around their hit point.
    • Shotgun Autoloader - Allows the user to reload the shotgun a bit faster, increasing rate of fire.
    • Tactical Grip - This weapon attachment allows the user to get a better grip of the weapon and increases accuracy.
    • Basic Scope - A telescopic sight, commonly called a scope. This basic rifle scope improves accuracy.
    [h5]Stun Weapons[/h5]
    Annie equipped with the new Stun Rifle. Designed to capture hostile life forces. We've added stun weapons to the game. These weapons can be used to capture enemies as they are designed to incapacitate and be non lethal weapons. Additionally, we've also added some new items out of which many are intended for crew combat use. These include:
    • Combat stimulants - Boosts a crew member's energy level when it is most needed.
    • Mood stimulants - Can be used to delay mental breaks. If they are used too much side effects will appear.
    • Nano wound dressing - Injectable wound sealer with nanobots.
    • Bandages - For covering open wounds after battles.
    • Small Breaching Charge - Small explosive charge designed to destroy walls and doors. Allows boarding teams to create alternative paths inside enemy ships and stations.
    • Space Suit Oxygen Extender - A type of armor that gives additional oxygen reserves for a crew member when wearing a space suit.

    New Research Modules



    New Research Modules have been added to the Research tree. The tech tree has been updated with new research modules, featuring some of the new items we've added to the game. These include:
    • Advanced Disassembly - Adds new options for the Recycler. Disassemble resources back to the component resources they were created from.
    • Alien Enzyme - Allows the Chemical Refinery to produce a stimulant substance created from aliens.
    • Stimulants - A research module with combat and mood stimulants.
    • Nano wound dressing - Injectable wound sealer with nanobots.
    • Advanced Medical Bed - This bed is specially designed to perform body scans to identify wounds, illnesses and other health threatening conditions of your crew.

    The Learning Computer



    Crew members can now study and learn skills at this learning computer, up to a certain level. We've added a learning computer to the game. This training computer uses fully immersive gamified learning environment technology in a wide range of subjects and skills. Allows your crew members to study and learn new skills.
    The crew management menu has a new tool for marking study hours in the schedule and also a new tab for creating so called learning rules. The crew management menu has a new tool for marking study as a secondary task in the schedule tab and additionally a new tab dedicated to creating so called learning rules. Together these allow you to dictate when your crew members should study and which crew members are allowed to study.

    The Holy Cow



    Crew who report seeing a golden cow flying in space should undergo mental health care program Mike-Zero-Zero. In the post-Apocalypse age, the cow is still a symbol of everything that was bountiful in the Earth's past. Though some members of the Cult of New Haven decry these statues as sinful, to most crews they serve as a reminder of humankind's prosperous history, and a promise to see it restored amidst the stars. Crew who report seeing a golden cow flying in space should undergo mental health care program Mike-Zero-Zero. However, should you see this monument be sure to investigate to see what it may hold within.

    Small Hope Scenario - Select Starting Ship



    You can now select another ship as the starting ship in the Small Hope Scenario. A small feature addition but bound to give a breath of fresh air to one of the starting scenarios. We have added a way to select a starting ship in the Small Hope Scenario, allowing you to start with another small ship instead of the default one.

    New Furniture



    New tables! Note the availability of more options when hovering over a table in the build menu. We've added a bunch of new tables to decorate your ship with! These can be found in the build menu under the furniture tab. Note that the build menu has been updated and there's now more options available when hovering over a facility/item in the build menu.
    Would you look at that! The tables and the carpet match. Will be great to sit down and eat here.

    New Entertainment



    River relaxing with some fun single user activities after a long day. We've added a new personal entertainment facility to the game. The crew can sit down and entertain themselves with with various single user activities.

  • Space Haven linux64 [208.09 M]

  • Public Linux depots


  • 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.

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.

    • 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.
    Build turrets and engage in tactical ship-to-ship combat, where a hit and explosion could cause a snowball effect of fire, smoke, hazardous gases and even hull breaches for either party. All crew members need to work together to win the battle.



    • 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.
