Hello,
I just published a bigger update. There is quite a lot of new stuff introducing a new tier of nickel based economy. You are going to harvest thermal energy from lava and become a hotelier in new missions and campaigns!
Introducing new ore material: nickel
New buildings based on nickel technology tree:
Lava pump, thermal power generator and furnace.
Star hotel and sky bar built on platform.
Let me know what you think, Jan
- - restructured missions in campaign. New players start on the Moon and other campaigns get unlocked later in the game. This will make sure the learning curve is smooth and the story unfolds naturally.
