Hi!
This is a big update, sorry for the delay! It required extensive development and testing.
Although I have tested it thoroughly, please report any bugs if you encounter them.
This update adds 6 factions and brings faction missions plans, orders, bonuses, etc. There is a lot of content added, it would take over 20 hours to 100% just these new additions!
Of course, completing everything is not the intended way to play.
(Unless you want to 100% everything ːsteamhappyː)
You can continue playing freely, choosing how to spend your time and strategically working toward the rewards and bonuses that best suit your playstyle.
Factions
Six factions have been added to the game, each with a unique identity and playstyle focus:
Celestial Group
Corporate exploration network mapping new worlds, driven by discovery and expansion.
Darkseed
Fringe bio-engineering group experimenting with alien flora to unlock aggressive growth and adaptation.
Earth House
Earth's remaining governance, balancing politics, resource allocation, and survival priorities.
Machina
Industrial powerhouse focused on heavy automation and mining systems.
Helios
Solar engineering faction specializing in radiant power and farming systems.
Technos
Decentralized tech collective developing AI, data networks, and system optimization tools.

Faction Orders
Orders can now come from factions
Completing faction orders awards reputation points with that faction.
Faction Mission Plans
6 new faction aligned mission plans are available when creating a new seed.
Each mission plan is tied to a faction
Complete milestones at 20%, 50%, and 80% to unlock additional faction bonuses
Faction bonuses stack: point-based rewards + mission plan rewards provide two parallel progression tracks
New Faction UI
Factions tab added to the main menu
Track your progress with every faction
Browse unlocked and upcoming bonuses
Ingame faction panel integrated into the mission screen for your active faction mission plan.
Improvements and Fixes
Performance improvements
Bug fixes

This update brings a movement turn style change
Due to many players having issues with the movement. You can now select between two styles for turning the character which affects the overall movement style:
Hold Key: Hold Control to stop and turn
Delayed: The way it is currently, movement is slightly delayed to give you chance to turn with quick presses.
This can be changed from the settings in game in the Controls menu.
Thank you and hope you continue to enjoy Starseed!

Hey again!

New Character customization!
You can set various colors
Bug fixes
The customizer can be found in the lab in the room to the right. Simply press E to use it.
You can reset colors or hit apply to apply. Color changes are final and once you apply you can't go back. It has no cost. This may change in future, but for now it's just a nice and easy to access feature.

Early bug that ruined the characters skin. 😁😂
Fixed so you don't have to worry!
