Dear Masterspace Community: We are happy to finally announce the release of Masterspace, which signifies the transition from early access to final release after a development time of more than three years. All features from the original design plan (and much more) have been implemented and this final update contains a lot of bug fixes, as well as implementing some of the most commonly requested features by the community. The main new feature is the introduction of truly infinite worlds to Masterspace by allowing travel between different sectors, each containing a star system full of planets. This is enabled in-game by the construction of the very expensive Masterspace Conduit. Furthermore, sensors are now functional within the game and may be used to scan planets from orbit, in order to detect e.g. prospective resources. This update also introduces different gravity levels on planets, which may be modified by the construction of gravity (or anti-gravity) generators. Furthermore, the world generation scripts have been optimized and the distribution of resources on planets has been completely rebalanced. We apologize for the delay and lack of updates lately and thank you all for your patience. We would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to the community and all who have all supported the development during these years. Special thanks are also extended to Roland La Goy for generously composing a fitting soundtrack for Masterspace. Live long and prosper, Kristofer Jansson Master Technologies New features:

Travel to different planetary systems
New objects: Masterspace Conduit, Artificial Gravity Generator, Gravity Amplifier, Gravity Suppressor
New perk: Quantum Mechanics
Different gravity levels on planets
Sensors may now be used to scan planets from orbit
Control panel may be used to do a local scan of planets or show information about the current spaceship or building
Some objects now give culture points for being constructed
Flags give a large culture bonus, but only once per planet
Frontend setting to change inventory scroll direction
Activation sounds
Changes:

Optimized and improved world generation scripts
Rebalanced distribution of materials on planets
Replaced pre-generated quick scenarios with standard world generator
Improved contrast of inventory colors
Bug fixes:

Lots of various bug fixes
Fixed perk glitch when reloading a game
Fixed "ghost planet" glitch when reloading a game
Fixed lost perk points after closing perk window
Fixed camera when boarding spaceships

Masterspace v3.2 has been released, introducing improved world generation capabilities as well as a new tutorial scenario. The world generator has been given a graphical user interface where the number of planets, as well as their sizes, may be specified. Furthermore, it is possible to customize climate settings and the abundance of resources. Buildings from the blueprint database will also be placed randomly on the planets. A rare new material has been introduced, Maesterium, which may only be found on asteroids. Maesterium is required for construction of many of the most advanced objects in the game. New objects include a set of new storage and lighting objects, as well as a fusion reactor. The trading post has been split in two separate objects, for materials and explosives trade respectively. Three new perks has been added, which are related to these changes: Lighting, Storage and Production. A much requested feature has been the ability to easier relocate objects. It is now possible to pick up and place objects, similar to how they were originally placed. Press and hold the grab key to relocate an object. There is now also a confirmation dialog for selling objects and a function has been added to center and delete blueprints. Other fixes include an automatic backup of the last autosave and a rework of the lighting engine. Furthermore, the physics simulation has been optimized, which should greatly improve the frame rate on low-end CPU setups. As usual, a lot of bugs have been fixed, along with other minor features and improvements of the modding capabilities. New features:

Random buildings from the database are now placed on generated planets
Automatic subscription features added to mod manager
New Material: Maesterium, exclusive for asteroids
New Perks: Lighting, Storage, Production
New Objects: Basket, Barrel, Fireplace, Wall Torch, LED Mark I, LED Mark II, Fusion Reactor
Trading Post split in Explosives Trading Post and Materials Trading Post and Trading perk extended to two levels
Automatic backup of old autosave
Modding of music and sound effects is now possible
Organic asteroids
Relocating objects by holding the grab key (default: 'q')
Button to delete blueprints
Additional building blueprints included
Function to center blueprints on save
New tutorial scenario
Changes:

Multiple objects changed to accomodate new materials and objects
Tweaked world generation settings
Old world generator scenarios removed
Culture points are now team specific
Confirmation required for selling objects
Optimized physics simulation
Improved lighting
Bug fixes:

Excessive GLSL log messages in latest AMD drivers fixed
Fixed loading screen crash
Fixed "living dead" bug
Fixed building placement on spherical worlds
Fixed bug with LOD level visibility
Fixed object placement on spherical worlds
