This is the first significant update since the Early Access launch just over a week ago. I'll aim to make updates like this every few weeks. In this one, the main change is to make three new buildings available, and there are quite a few other improvements as well.
Full changelog as follows:
New Features
- New building: Biomass Power Station
- New building: Coal Power Station
- New building: Hydrogen Burner
- New wild plant: Sunspine
Updates
- Updated the text on the welcome dialog
- A temporary (probably) new image for the menu background
- Reduced the energy capacity of batteries to 25kWh
- The generator can no-longer burn hydrogen
- Rocket now requires twice as much hydrogen to launch
- Doubled the capacity of hydrogen storage units
- Adjusted the construction costs of composites and solar cell factories
- Updated some building descriptions with more detailed information
- The harvest, deconstruct, and geology tools now show a warning for inaccessible tiles
- Warnings are shown if what you are building will block access to existing buildings
- The "resources found" popup shows resource density as well as type
- Colonists can now work in a tile that also contains a colonist relaxing at a table
- Don't show the "looking for something to do" message for colonists who are overworked
- Smoke is now lit up by lamp light at night
Fixed
- The generator would initialise past 100% if it had no fuel when first turned on
- Resource processor could get stuck in certain situations
- Default crop is now reset to jarapha when a new game is started
- Sound effect sometimes playing in wrong location when colonists constructing etc.
- Electrolyser was playing the wrong sound effect
- Any popups at bottom of screen were in wrong place if screen size changed
Existing saved games should continue to work after this update. You may lose some energy due to the reduced capacity of batteries.
