Update 0.10.2 is now available.
This patch is focused primarily on improving the tutorial experience. Over the last few days I've been collecting player feedback, bug reports, and issues that could cause confusion or prevent progression. Many of those problems have now been addressed.
Tutorial Improvements
Fixed several issues that could break the tutorial after restarting it.
Fixed cases where menu and game-over screens could become unavailable.
Improved crew generation so all tutorial characters receive Survival skill.
Fixed character preview issues on the crew creation screen after restarting the game.
Restricted construction outside of the intended tutorial area.
Restricted placement of the Science Module outside the designated area.
Fixed warehouse position issues after landing or loading a save that could place items outside storage.
Improved gathering and harvesting tutorial steps:
Tree cutting can only target tutorial trees.
Rock collection can only target tutorial rocks.
Selection limits now match tutorial requirements.
Required selections can no longer be accidentally cleared before confirming.
Construction mode now automatically exits after placing a required building.
Crew creation now highlights the correct button ("Add" or "Next") depending on progress.
The "Back" button is disabled on world generation and crew creation screens during the tutorial.
Crew selection is automatically cleared and restricted when required by tutorial objectives.
Before landing on the tutorial planet, context menus are limited to relevant objects only.
Gameplay & Interface Changes
Buildings (excluding walls, floors, and doors) are now placed one at a time with a single click instead of drag-placement rectangles.
