Trains accelerate faster on higher speed rails. Especially for the highest speed level this makes a large difference in overall delivery time.
Doubled the maximum length of text signs due to community request.
Fixed an issue where resources could get stuck in the train station if you edited the train line that was supposed to pick them up while they were waiting.
Fixed an issue where large building projects like the spaceship construction facility, magnetic field generator, and monumental drill requested resources too slowly. Now they request as many resources as possible - with the caveat that you still have to set up your districts, roads, and logistics centers properly.
Fixed an old text about adamantine mining. It used to say "Adamantine mined until now", but more correct is "Adamantine in storage".
InfraSpace should now be ready for MacOS 28, when Apple drops support for Rosetta.
As always, a note on the state of InfraSpace:
InfraSpace is finished, but still getting maintained. It will receive bugfix updates indefinitely, but no new features. Please report any issues you see with the game. We check back in every couple of months, and when enough issues have accumulated, we release a small update to fix them all at once.
Let us know if anything bothers you and we'll have a look when we do the next update!
We are currently making our next game, and it's coming along really well. Third person town building, sandbox, single- and multiplayer. Check it out and wishlist if you're interested!
Thanks, and happy playing!

Hello everyone!
Thanks to everyone who playtested the update in the last days. I just moved it to the stable branch for everyone to download.
Managed to make a bit of a breakthrough in simulation performance.
We observed speedups on the CPU between 17 - 320% in very large cities.
It probably depends a lot on your actual city, please don't have too high expectations. Some traffic setups might be unaffected. Test and let us know if it made a difference for you!
If your game is GPU-bound (meaning graphics settings make a big impact on the frame rate), then this won’t do much. But, if you’re building large cities and are hitting a CPU limit (fast forward slows down your game), this should help.
Added a slider for UI volume in the settings (link).
Fixed a bug where the passenger deck bonus to habitat consumption would not be saved properly (reported by AronJerda on Discord).
Fixed an issue where the traffic light tutorial would not open the encyclopedia on the correct page.
Fixed an issue where it was possible to build tiny, 0-length streets, which didn’t do anything except show a red error (reported by yogomove on Discord).
Updated some translations.
Fixed an issue where some tutorial messages would be titled like “Tutorial: Tutorial: …” (reported by zytukin on Discord).
When placing buildings, it takes a couple of frames to switch into drag-building mode. This should reduce the number of times people drag-build by accident (suggested by Bayonette).
Special shoutout to InfraSpace modder Bayonette, who worked with us on the following 3 improvements. Thanks a bunch!
Fixed a bug where some cars could get deleted in traffic jams on the small outgoing roads of buildings, leading to lost resources.
Rebalancing so that buildings with integrated roads ask for more deliveries at once (especially buildings like the large storehouse or the mega-buildings used to take in items slower than their connects would allow).
Fixed an issue where some objects would not be marked red when selected for lasering.

A security vulnerability has been discovered in the Unity game engine (info). A ton of games on Steam are affected, so you might see many games updating lately. This update fixes the issue for InfraSpace.
Probably not. There are no confirmed cases of the vulnerability being exploited and Valve, Microsoft, Apple, etc. have been taking additional security steps behind the scenes already. Now game developers are updating, too. Also, this vulnerability is only exploitable in combination with other vulnerabilities. Still, it's important for devs to fix these issues to keep players as safe as possible.
InfraSpace is a finished game and we only fix bugs or bigger issues. We usually wait for a bunch of reports to come in and address them all at once. There are only minor changes on our list at the moment, so the next minor patch is still a while out. If you are looking for new content from us, check out the work on our next game. This update is only about the security fix, so the game should work the exact same. Let us know if there are any issues, thanks.

Hello everyone!
This update has been on the testing branch for a while. It's now stable and is released to all players.
Fixed an issue where the achievement "total industrialisation" took a long time to trigger on very long saves. It has to check if you have produced all resources ever and used to only check 200 time points. If your save was many hours old, it could take a long time for the achievement to trigger.
Improved the city stats chart to always show the current production on the right edge. This is related to above: With long saves, we only show 200 data points out of all city stats, and the latest changes could be invisible, because they're not part of the 200 shown data points yet.
Fixed an issue where terraforming production would not be recorded in the city stats charts properly.

Hello everyone, it's time for another InfraSpace update!
While this update is mostly about improving bits and pieces in InfraSpace and fixing bugs, there is one big new thing: The Mountain Map!
This one is meant to be a map for advanced players. Building space is at a premium which means a couple of things are harder now:
Some of the resources are also hidden below rocks now. You'll have to use the big space ship laser cannon to remove those first, so it can make sense to rush the tech tree towards space ship repair.
When I playtested the new mountain map, I found that it was a big pain to put down power poles, because a lot of the terrain was too steep. Wind turbines had a similar issue: It would make so much sense to place them on mountains, but it was too steep.
That's why I changed the terrain placement rules a little
The last change made sense because solar parks take a lot of flat area, which is exactly the tradeoff that should exist here. Sprinkling them all over the mountains also would look terrible with their auto terrain flattening.
If you load an old save, you might have to adjust some solar parks' placement a little.
Buildings can now connect to multiple collection and distribution centers!
Earlier, they could only connect to one center, but this was confusing to a lot of people, that's why we're trying this change. This should also make the behaviour a little more consistent, because before it could be little random which logistics center buildings would connect to if there were multiple availble.
Another small change is that we added made the list of connected collection and distribution centers scrollable, so you can hook up more without having to mess with the UI scale (that's what some players did earlier as a workaround).
If you've been building large cities in InfraSpace, you might be
famililar with the "Update Road Decals" loading screen text:
It's on of the last step of loading a save, and used to take a long time. We optimized the code and properly multithreaded it, so in a particularly large save we were able to go from 39.37 seconds of loading time to just 2.02 seconds for this loading step. Yay!
In order to fix a bug, we had to revisit the city stats tracking and as I was working on this, I also improved the stats panel a little. The graphs now show 200 data samples instead of the previous 50.
Thanks to everyone that reported issues and shared their save files with us for reproducing the issues!
As you know, InfraSpace reached 1.0 in October last year and is now considered a finished game. Since then. we have provided some extra feature updates for it and a bunch of bugfixes. Our plan is to continue providing bugfixes for a long time, like with our other game Founders' Fortune. However, unless there is some critical issue, we will wait for a couple of months for a bunch of minor bug reports and other feedback to accumulate, track them all, and then fix them all at once in a big update.
Currently we're hard at work on our next game. We learned a lot with InfraSpace and want to improve a lot of things. The new game is still under wraps, but we do have a mailing list if you enjoyed one of our games and want to be notified once there is news.
Thanks a lot for all the support. Let me know if you have any issues, and as always,

Hello everyone!
I just released Update 1.43.435 with some fixes, mainly localization related.
InfraSpace is getting close to being a finished game. We hit 1.0 in October and have fixed almost all of the bugs since then. We will continue to fix bugs that come up for a long time, so please keep posting about them when they happen to you.
In terms of content, there is 1 more update coming: It will release our 4th map for InfraSpace, which will require a lot more usage of the spaceship laser cannon and gondolas to traverse the terrain. More details in a future post.
Since InfraSpace is pretty much finished now, but it's not a "forever game" that we can afford to update indefinitely, we have been cooking up our next game in the background for the last 5 months.
With InfraSpace we learned a lot, especially regarding software quality. We want to apply a lot of these lessons and have built a really good foundation, that should lead to a lot less bugs than InfraSpace had at some points in it's development.
The next game will be a bit closer to our first game, Founders' Fortune, but there are definitely going to be some production chains and some opportunities for optimization if you're so inclined.
Let me know if there is interest in the InfraSpace community to join a closed Alpha or a mailing list and I'll see what I can do once the game is ready :)
Thanks again for the feedback and the support. Let me know if you find any more issues with InfraSpace or something that needs to be fixed and as always,
Happy playing!

Hello everyone and welcome to the April update!
This time, we have 3 main news for you:
It's been a long time coming and today we're finally releasing the Volcano Map!
The map is designed to be a little challenge for more advanced players. There is not so much building space and the terrain is very sloped, so you have to be more selective about how you organize your city. This becomes more important in the mid- to late-game as the industries are getting more complex and the layout of your roads matter more.
Most of our translations were done by the community so far, which we are really thankful for! But that also means, that not all localizations were at 100% done all the time. Now that InfraSpace is pretty much done, we worked with a localization company to get the languages with the most players up to snuff. That's why German, Spanish, Japanese, and Russian should be at 100% completion now. French will probably be done with the next update.
I'm sorry this has been plaguing mac players for a while. There was a crash that could happen sometimes when you upgraded the adamantine mine. If a car was currently on the way to the mine as it upgrades, the car would try to reroute to a building that is no longer valid (because it has been replaced by the new mine stage). This would crash our routing algorithm, something which was graciously ignored by the windows version of the library because of different compile settings.
In any case, it's fixed now, so let us know if you're having any other issues!
As always,
Happy playing!

Hello everyone and welcome to the March Bugfixing Update!
In the last post, I announced that we will take more time for updates from now on. They used to be weekly, now it's around a month or so. Since then, we have fixed a lot of issues, big and small.
The most interesting change is that the worker distribution algorithm has changed now. You can now easily set industries to a certain worker number without the game trying to fill up industries with any remaining unemployed people. What you set, counts.
Also, worker distribution now takes some time. You can see this probably only in large cities if you change hundreds or thousands of jobs at once. This change was made for better performance during normal gameplay.
There is a high prio mac issue on our list, we'll address this with the next update. Sorry it didn't make it into this one!
I hope you are having fun playing InfraSpace. Let us know if there is anything else you need fixed.
Happy playing!

Hello everyone and happy new year!
We are back to work and have spent the last week fixing a bunch of more issues here and there.
This is the list:
From our 1.0 release on Sept 22nd until christmas we have released updates every week. This was really great for fixing bugs quickly and improving the most obvious quality of life issues.
But it's a lot of extra effort because each week we have to go through some quality assurance testing to make sure we didn't accidentally break anything while fixing a bug!
That's why from now on, we'll release our updates monthly. We are going to spend the whole month fixing this, and improving that, and then do a big QA test where we check the whole game at once.
If you want to help us playtesting or experience new changes early, you can join our discord server and ask to help with playtesting by pinging the @Developer role.

Hello everyone!
Another year draws to a close and it's time to wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
In last week's Friday Dev News Post we let you know that we were working on an optimization that we're hoping to finish this week. We are almost done, but it's a deep change, so it carries a bunch of risk. Since the holidays are coming, we thought it's best to not release a deep change like that willy-nilly without proper testing.
For the people who are interested in the technical details:
The optimization improves the algorithm that decides how workers are distributed to each factory based on your prioritizations. On large cities (50k citizens and more), it could take around 30 milliseconds to run. Since there is a lot of moving in and out in these cities, having an extra 30 millisecond calculation in these frames leads to bad stuttering, which we are fixing with this improvement.
If your city is smaller, that distribution algorithm has much less of a performance impact.
Also, because of the holidays, we're going to pause Friday Dev News for 2 weeks for the first time in 3 years of development. We'll be back in the new year with new fixes, improvements and also a handful of new content releases, too.
I also would like to thank the community for their passion and their support. InfraSpace is not the biggest game, and as such we can't work on it indefinitely, but I'm glad that for now we can still work on improving it a little here and there and I'm also glad that you and your support are still part of it :)
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy Playing!
