We now have humans added to Deep Space Outpost! Human workers can now be hired from passing traders if your space station has life support, food supply and crew quarters.
With this update you'll also notice new graphics for worker droids. They are now a more angular (and yellow) to make them distinct from humans. Humans now have the previous droid image torso, but have different hair colour when their helmets are off. They also have a name, rather than a droid id!
Humans behave as worker droids, except they will take breaks when hungry, or need sleep. Their spacesuits will protect them generally, and will get repaired if they take damage. Space suits have O2 and power levels for when traveling outside your station. Damaged suits can lead to the human themselves taking damage, in which case they will try to heal at available crew quarters.
Taking damage, hunger or tiredness will affect morale, which will make your human workers work slower. So do keep crew quarters and food available for your crew!
