Hi everyone! Welcome to our first update for Project Voidcraft. Special thanks to everyone who participated in our very first Alpha test. In the spirit of listening to and acting on feedback, we've already made some changes based on it. Many of you complimented our music selection on the radio and wanted to know the name of the songs, which is why we have now added the station name and song name to the radio - so you won't miss out on any good songs you encounter on your space journey. Along with this, we have added a new cockpit and fixed the issue with the re-spawning ship and character! Please check out the whole list of features below.
Major Features:
Gameplay
- Docking is now possible at the UNN Midway Station. Approach the dock and press "z" to initate.
- Asteroid mining is now possible, find several already plotted with a purple marker in the navigation hud. Default mining laser requires 100 meters operational distance. Simply approach the asteroid, click it and when the mining operation is done, you are able to loot its ore.
- Re-Fueling ship is now possible. Open inventory by pressing "I" and clicking a fuel icon to re-fuel ship
