Outpost On Syrinx is exiting Early Access, and is now officially released as a regular Steam game!
The current build of the game is actually the same as released last year in May of 2023, which was a follow-up to the Caves Expansion update, which added Geothermal energy and related new missions and some other features. That release was a suitable candidate for 'final release', and was relatively bug-free and stable. At the time, there were a few minor features that were possibly going to be added before exiting Early Access, but to make a long story short, development on the game needed to be paused for a while. After much consideration, it's been decided that minor new features were not really needed to have a good exit from Early Access, and this build will be considered the 1.0 'full release'.
Depending on a number of factors, development on the game may continue for some time, or be wrapped up at this point. This version is substantially larger in scope and features than originally planned, but like most games, in theory much more could be added to make the game larger and more elaborate.
