Some news on the development of the Alpha 2.0 update.
In the new update, the player will have the opportunity to build his own base. The construction of buildings will require the availability of the necessary resources, as well as the blueprints studied by the player. The number of places for the construction of buildings will be limited. Each building will benefit the player, for example, a built warehouse will increase the allowable amount of storage of items, residential buildings will allow you to increase the garrison of the base, and factories and production buildings will give you the opportunity to craft items and the mining of resources.
In order to prevent the base from being robbed, the player will have to strengthen its defense in every possible way: build gun turrets, hire and arm guards. With a successful defense, the player will be able to collect some resources from the attackers. If it loses, the base will be robbed and will lose part of the stored resources, as well as part of the guards will be killed and the gun turrets will be destroyed.
There is also some bad news, unfortunately, all the saves made in the Alpha 1.X version will not work in the new version. The release date of the update is still unknown, but I don't think it's worth waiting for it in the next 3-4 months.
P.S. All described features are not final and may change.
