Spacebase DF-9 Alpha 5b released

  • Overhauled how needs affect morale. Depression spirals should be less common now.
  • Benefits of citizen environment satisfaction to morale now taper off after a point. A citizen will only become ecstatic if everything is going really really great for them.
  • Fusion Reactors have been re-enabled in the Construct menu, in anticipation of Alpha 6 which will finally add the Power system. They won’t do anything until then, but this will let you build and plan bases accordingly.
  • Doors have moved into the “All Zones” section of the Object menu to make room for the above change.
  • Doctors now prioritize corpse cleanup higher than routine check-ups.
  • Fixed: Various crashes.
  • Fixed: Doctors don’t store citizen health when they treat a broken leg.
  • Fixed: Door placement issues.
  • Fixed: Various airlock-related issues.
  • Fixed: Dead bodies globally affect citizen environment satisfaction, instead of just people in the same room.
  • Fixed: Some derelict and hostile immigration events fail silently.
  • Fixed: Citizens stop posting Spaceface updates after reaching 100 posts.
  • Fixed: First immigration event occurs too soon.
  • Fixed: Erroneous “Hostiles have entered your base” alert when a hostile is under your base.
  • Fixed: Bad alpha on Spaceface icon.
  • Fixed: Citizens spam Spaceface with logs about being on fire and being injured. WE GET IT DUDE IT HURTS.
